Ambergris Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 Well, just reciently saw that documental about Christopher Columbus secret life. Is interesting how the guy wanted to hide all about his life and more interesting how scientist tried to understand why and all about his real life, so after an exhaustive search with scientific and psychological evidence, now scientist are almost sure he wasn't a Genoese Italian but he really was a Catalan Spanish :wink3: Eh?? So it's a fact that history has been wrong all this time about the obscure past of this great navigator that changed the destiny of the world Hah, sorry just wanted to make a new thread, so if u're interested u can go and enlighten ur doubts to http://dsc.discovery.com/convergence/columbus/columbus.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professor Peedston Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 great navigator... yeah, good for him for "discovering" a continent that had been inhabited for thousands of years. :P sorry I know that's not really related but I just had to throw that in there.

GenesisIIJourney Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 A lot of what you learn in school about "history" is wrong. History is written primarily by men, very egotistical men I might add. And a lot of it is either over exaggerated or a blatant fabrication. The conquerors write the books, so it's more about perspective than actual fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes, I knew that already: The first conqueror that arrived to America was a "barbarian" to be more exactly, a Norwegian Viking, but the "actual Canada" territory they arrived was more as a part from Scandinavia I think, but as a real discover, for Europe and the rest of occidental culture was Colombus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
