Who ACTUALLY Discovered America

Today, we journey through history, myth, and controversy to uncover the complex truth behind one of the most polarizing figures of the Age of Exploration: Christopher Columbus. From the enduring myths about the shape of the Earth and tense royal negotiations to harrowing Atlantic crossings, brutal colonial realities, and the rise of his modern cultural legacy, we explore how a 15th-century navigator transformed the globe and sparked debates that continue to this day.
