Synopsis

Fernand Magellan's expedition accomplished the most difficult task in the history of geographical discoveries. By completing the first voyage around the world, he proved in practice that the Earth is a globe.Magellan was faced with total uncertainty, and Vasco da Gama sailed to India on famous geographical sites. So there was no difficulty in sailing to the Cape of Good Hope. Because it was discovered by Bartolomeu Diasham, the latitude coordinates where this geographical object was located were given to Vasco da Gama. From the Cape to the port of Malindi, there was no difficulty in crossing the sea route either. Throughout the coastal land, there were aborigines living and Arab merchant ships sailing far south of Malindi. As we already know, the famous Arab pilot Ahmed ibn Majid accompanied the flotilla from this port to the Indian coast. The book details how Magellan made one of the most difficult and famous voyages in the history of geographical discovery.
