Five hundred years ago, when the italian town of Genoa was a world famous port, a young boy named Christopher used to run along its streets. Christopher liked to go down to the docks and watch the sailing ships and the sailors loading and unloading the ships. He wanted very much to see the strange, faraway lands where goods such as silk, pepper and cinnamon were obtained. One day while Christopher was down by the docks, he noticed a round rock and picked it up. He ran his finger along it pretending it was a ship sailing on the sea. He brought the rock up to eye-level and noticed that when he ran his finger around it the finger disappeared slowly because the rock was round. He wondered if this could not also be the reason ships disappear as they sail into the distance. He continued moving his finger around the rock and noticed that after a while it reappeared and returned to the same spot where it began. Maybe the same could be done with a ship sailing around the world. He was afraid to share these thoughts with anyone because he knew they would laugh at him. Everyone knows the world is flat and that it ends somewhere. To the east there is land, and to the west there is a vast sea inhabited by strange sea monsters. Anyone who sails to the west will never return. And if he sails too far to the east or to the west he will reach the edge of the earth and fall off into an endless canyon. . Christopher was convinced that the world was round and that he could reach China and india by sailing westward around the earth. But no one would be convinced by words alone. He could only prove his theory by accomplishing such a feat. One day, he thought, "1 will sail westward and І Christopher Columbus, left, urges Queen isabella, right, to give him funds for will reach india and China." the transatlantic journey to discover the New World.
