The discovery of America (spanish close captioned)

http://translate.google.es/translate?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.artehistoria.com%2Fhi...

The early morning of August 3 of 1492 set sail of the port of Palos Christopher Columbus in command of three ships and some ninety men, with the aim of finding a west path towards the Indies. After a stop in the Canary Islands, sailed to the West.

There were three ships, two caravels and a nao, with provisions for one year. La Pinta was property of Gomez Rascón and Cristóbal Quintero, and we do not know if it was seized or leased, although he said "He didn't want to go to that trip after breaking the gobernalle." It was a good sailing ship and its captain, Pinzon, always tended to pre-empt the other ships. The Niña was from Moguer owned by Juan Niño and actually called Santa Clara, and was paid for by the people of Palos. It was perhaps the best condition seafaring vessel.
The Santa Maria, aka the Gallega, was Juan de la Cosa, natural from Santoña but neighbor to the Puerto de Santa Maria. Colon, who captains, got it while it was chartered in Rio Tinto on trade mission. It was very heavy and "unfit for the job of discovering" in the words of Columbus. The three boats were well matched, Construction sober and proper equipment.

The sailors were people of every type and condition, paid by the Crown. They wern't soldiers but sailors, wearing a blusón, a wool hat and barefoot.

Two hours after midnight on October 12 of 1492, finally showed up the coast. It was an island called Guanahani. In the light of the day, fell to earth Columbus and some men. Columbus quickly made the formal ceremony the inauguration of the island on behalf of the King and Queen, their lords. Although Columbus did not know, he had just discovered a new world.

True.. the vikings died out, why? Christian scums that's what. Destroyed swedish and other nordic cultures from really happening. I'm living in a land with a fake culture.. BUT ANYWAY. the vikings and many many many other it seems where there before columbus. He put it on the map though. But he did definetly not find it, we know that for sure.

You're all wrong..Ancient Greeks firstly set foot on american continent..You should read about Jason and the Argonauts and its aligoric meaning..Read as well Plato and some other ancient writers...They all seemed to know there is land on the other side of the ocean!

GAVE TO THE WORLD NEW WORLDS,VIKINGS HAD NO IMPACT ON "H-ISTORY",THIS IS THE DIFFERENCE!

[finechico20]

@Sourgass Your correct, but the Chinese discovered the Americas before Columbus. Read 1421 The  Year China Discovered America by Gavin Menzies.

Why does she say "Un nuevo mundo" when the natives were here before he arrived? That should leave our minds because he didn't "discover" a "new world" he INVADED!!!! "Un nuevo mund" Better said (mejor dicho)---->"el comienzo de la invasión de un continente" Don't try to cover up the truth!(no tratan de ocultar la verdad)

What really happened is this. When Noah et al had been at sea for 40 days and 40 nights, the pile of "manure" (from all the animals) was enormous and so it was heaved over the side of the ark. It formed a vast island that floated away and was not seen fagain or several thousand years until Christopher Columbus on 12th Oct 1492 ...

@Sourgass And the natives had already been there for thousands of years before the vikings, that is a fact. The Americas were not 'discovered', they were violently invaded. The vikings may have been there before, but they never settled, so it really does not matter that they saw it.
