haters will say its fake
>>2606024
its actually widely recognized now that there was a decent bit of knowledge that there was land in between Europe and Asia. "Where?" was the question of course, but the whole road to India thing was more or less a side objective if there was one.

that's why columbus had such trouble getting anyone to sponsor him, everyone told him to fuck off but he was too autistic

No it's because his calculations were wrong compared to the accepted standard

Genuine question. If america hadn't been in the way, would columbus have actually made it to India? Or would he have starved before he arrived? If he had enough food to actually reach asia they must have still had shitloads left when they landed in the americas.

I don't know how many died on his first voyage but provided they don't get eaten by a typhoon then maybe.
