Summary |
The author of this volume examines a number of ancient maps to discern why the New World had never been found before it had been by Christopher Columbus. Interestingly, in spite of mounting facts that seemed to indicate that Columbus had discovered lands previously unknown, he continued to believe that Japan, China and the court of the Great Khan were very close to the lands he had discovered, as he was initially bound for Asia. He believed that he had found Asia from a western route until the day he died. |
