Columbus, the man who discovered the Americas, was one of the greatest explorers of our world. He travelled across the earth discovering unknown lands and peoples in an age where the world was believed to be far smaller than what we know it to be. With hardly any technology or resources, Columbus sailed bravely across unknown seas till he found the 'new world'. His discovery shaped the modern world we live in today.
