"All history becomes subjective; in other words there is properly no history, only biography." --Ralph Waldo Emerson
Was Columbus First?
We've all read the history books -- Columbus found the New World in 1492; Dias discovered the Cape of Good Hope in 1488; and Magellan set off to circumnavigate the world in 1519. However, it may not be true! Recent evidence show that it is more likely that the world and all its continents were discovered by a Chinese admiral named Zheng He, whose fleets roamed the oceans between 1405 and 1435.
