David Livingstone was a Scottish explorer and missionary born in 1813 who discovered Victoria Falls and sought to end the slave trade in Africa. He grew up poor working in cotton mills but studied medicine and theology, joining the London Missionary Society in 1840. Livingstone established missions in Africa and discovered Lake Ngami, seeking routes for trade to replace the slave trade. He crossed Africa from west to east, discovering Victoria Falls in 1855. Livingstone sought to map Africa's rivers and open the continent to commerce and Christianity.
Christopher columbus
Christopher Columbus was born in Genoa, Italy to a lower middle class family. He began sailing at age 14 and had a long career of both triumph and misery, including being attacked by pirates at sea. After learning navigation techniques from the Portuguese, Columbus was inspired by Marco Polo's travels to sail west across the Atlantic to reach Asia. He proposed this plan to King John of Portugal and later the Spanish monarchs Ferdinand and Isabella, but they initially rejected the idea due to concerns about the feasibility of the route. Columbus eventually convinced Isabella to fund an expedition, launching his historic voyage that opened the door to European colonization of the Americas.

Saint Brendan was an Irish monk who may have traveled to the Americas in the 5th century, though this is considered a myth without physical evidence. Columbus obtained information about lands across the Atlantic from fishermen in England and Portugal who likely explored the waters off Canada and the Caribbean. While we don't know if Saint Brendan or others like the Welsh or Phoenicians reached America, Columbus appeared to have knowledge from European sailors.

Mary grew up speaking three languages and became queen after both of her parents passed away, being the first queen since the 12th century. During her five year reign, she tried to convert England back to Catholicism through force, burning or killing over 300 Protestants, earning her the nickname "Bloody Mary." Mary died after becoming sick, though she initially believed her symptoms were from pregnancy, naming her half-sister Elizabeth as her successor to carry on her legacy.
The Tuatha de Danann
The Tuatha de Danann were a group of people who descended from the people of Nemed and were named after the goddess Danu. They arrived in Ireland in 1477 BCE and battled the native Fir Bolgs and Fomorians for control of the island. Their story is documented in the Book of Invasions, an oral tradition that was passed down for centuries before being written down. It describes how Nuada was originally their king but had to abdicate after losing his arm, and how Lugh later became king and defeated the Fomorians, leading the Tuatha de Danann to dominate Ireland for some time.
13 BLACK COLONIES
This document summarizes the key points made in a book about the original founders of the 13 British colonies being five black kings from Europe. It provides images and descriptions of skulls and portraits of historical Scottish and English kings like Robert the Bruce, King James VI of Scotland, and Charles I of Scotland that the author claims show their subjects were black. The document argues this evidence supports the idea that ancient Europeans, including the founders of the colonies, retained dark skin for longer than traditionally believed.
Discovery: Columbus
Christopher Columbus, a Genoese explorer and navigator, obtained support for his plan to reach Asia by sailing west from King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of Spain in 1492. He set sail with three ships and 88 men, landing in the Bahamas rather than Asia. After exploring the islands and encountering the native Taíno people, Columbus returned to Spain with prisoners and goods. His voyage inaugurated a period of European colonization in the Americas over the next centuries.
New world colonization in the age of discovery
The document discusses the colonization of the Americas beginning with Christopher Columbus' voyage in 1492.

Christopher columbus ppt
Christopher Columbus set sail in 1492 hoping to find a western route to Asia, bringing wealth and converting people to Christianity. He faced many obstacles in securing funding and crew for the voyage. Upon landing in the Caribbean, Columbus immediately claimed the land and native people for Spain. He established brutal rule over the native population and his criminal crew, requiring tributes of gold and committing violence. Recalled for his extreme actions, Columbus died imprisoned, still believing he had found Asia. European diseases then decimated the native populations who had no immunity.
California History
The document summarizes California history from its early indigenous peoples to the mid-1800s Gold Rush era. It describes the four geographic regions of California and their climates. It then discusses several early Spanish explorers and missionaries like Father Serra and their interactions with Native Americans. The document also outlines the establishment of presidios, pueblos, and settlements in the 1800s by figures like John Sutter and entrepreneurs during the Gold Rush like Sam Brannon and Levi Strauss who helped supply the growing population.
The Christopher Columbus Question
The document summarizes Christopher Columbus' voyages to the Americas in 1492 and their significant impacts. It describes how Columbus convinced Spain's monarchs to fund his expedition in search of riches and converts to Catholicism. On landing in the Bahamas, Columbus mistakenly believed he had reached Asia and called the native people "Indians." His voyages opened the way for European colonization and the Columbian Exchange, bringing both benefits and devastation through the introduction of diseases, crops, and slavery to the Americas.
The jesuit relations part 2 by miguel cardenas
The document summarizes several chapters from "The Jesuit Relations" about the interactions between Jesuit missionaries and indigenous peoples in 17th century North America. It describes the wars between native nations, the Jesuits' observations of the landscape, climate and peoples. It discusses two influential figures, Father Isaac Jogues who was captured and Catherine Tegahkoita who helped establish the mission of Sault St. Louis. It highlights their Christian faith and service despite facing adversity.
Christopher Columbus
Rodrigo Triana spotted land on October 12, 1492 at 2:00 am, ending an era of human history without knowledge of the Americas and beginning a new era of global exploration and connection. Columbus led the expedition despite facing doubts, guided by his faith and belief that he was fulfilling prophecies. His discovery changed the world in profound ways and helped spread the gospel message across many lands rapidly, as foretold in prophecy.
Cortes and moctezuma
The Aztecs ruled a large empire in Mexico until the arrival of Spanish conquistador Hernan Cortes in 1519. Cortes led a small expedition that was received peacefully by the Aztec ruler Montezuma, but Cortes then launched a surprise attack, killing many Aztecs and capturing Montezuma. Without Montezuma to lead them, the Aztec empire quickly collapsed. European diseases also devastated the native population. Cortes declared himself ruler of Mexico and the surrounding lands, and he lived a life of great wealth while most native people were enslaved or died from disease.
Christopher Columbus
Christopher Columbus was an Italian explorer who made four voyages between Spain and the Americas between 1492 and 1503. These voyages marked the beginning of European colonization of the Americas. Columbus wrongly estimated the distance between Europe and Asia and believed he had reached Asia when he landed in the Bahamas, not realizing he had discovered a new continent. While Columbus opened the door for European colonization, he faced increasing difficulties governing the colonies and was imprisoned for a year due to accusations of tyrannical rule before returning to Spain, where he died still convinced he had reached Asia.
History Notes on the Famine
The document summarizes the Great Famine that occurred in Ireland from 1845 to 1849. It describes how the famine began when a potato blight destroyed most of Ireland's potato crop, which millions depended on for food. As people began to starve, soup kitchens and workhouses were set up, but many still died of starvation or famine-related diseases. Over a million people emigrated, often on overcrowded "coffin ships" where up to 20% died during the voyage. By 1847, the worst year, over 3 million Irish were being fed in soup kitchens.
Who Really Discovered America?
While Christopher Columbus is often credited as the discoverer of America, there is evidence that others reached the Americas before him, including the Vikings, Japanese, and Irish monk Saint Brendan. The Vikings may have established a settlement in present-day Newfoundland or Nova Scotia as early as 1000 AD. Some pottery fragments found in Ecuador date to 5000 years ago and suggest the Japanese may have sailed across the Pacific. An Irish text describes a voyage by Saint Brendan in the 6th century that may have reached Newfoundland. Ultimately, the Native Americans who crossed the Bering Strait over 10,000 years ago were likely the first to discover America.
Ashton Chris Chris Michael
The document discusses the motivations that led European nations to explore the New World, including acquiring gold from the Aztecs through force, gaining wealth and glory, and Columbus accidentally discovering the Americas while seeking a new trade route to Asia.

Freemasonry 201 the lost treasure of the knights templar
The document discusses a theory that the fabled treasure of the Knights Templar, which went missing in the 14th century after the order was suppressed, may be buried on Oak Island off the coast of Nova Scotia. Extensive excavation efforts over two centuries have found booby traps and tunnels designed to flood the excavation site with water, suggesting the treasure is well protected.

Age of exploration atlantic world ppt
The Age of Exploration began in 1492 when Ferdinand and Isabella of Spain funded Christopher Columbus' expedition west across the Atlantic Ocean in search of wealth and trade routes to Asia. Columbus made landfall in the Bahamas and encountered the native Arawak and Taino people, though relations soon turned violent. Subsequent Spanish conquistadors like Hernan Cortes and Francisco Pizarro conquered the Aztec and Incan empires, introducing European diseases, the encomienda system of forced labor, Catholicism, and ultimately devastating the indigenous populations. Other conquistadors like Coronado explored North America in search of the fabled cities of gold.
Templar Knight Crusaders Final Draft
1. The Templar Knights were formed in 1118 AD after Christian pilgrims were massacred in Jerusalem to protect pilgrims making the dangerous journey. They took quarters near the Al-Aqsa Mosque, which was located near Solomon's Temple.
2. Saladin's armies defeated the Templars and reclaimed Jerusalem for Islam in 1187. The Templars amassed great wealth through donations but also went into debt to European monarchs.

This document analyzes the myth that St. Columba first landed in Scotland at Keil Point on the Kintyre Peninsula in 563 AD. It investigates the archaeological evidence that has been used to support this claim, but finds no documentary or archaeological evidence that conclusively proves it. The myth likely originated in the Victorian era as a way to assert cultural identity and justify political systems. While myths can reveal beliefs and priorities, accepted history should be challenged through multiple sources of evidence like archaeology. Analyzing the archaeological remains at Keil Point fails to find evidence confirming St. Columba's landing there.
