To be fair to Columbus, no one really knew just how big Asia actually was. I mean, like Ezekiel said, Japan was practically a myth. So, with this in mind, sailing around the world to get to Asia wasn't THAT crazy...
@@yerma6847 obviously Columbus should have just time travelled a century or so forward to when Europeans began trading directly with Japan, what was he thinking
@@yerma6847 hey clown the Portuguese only reached Japan in 1543, literally 100 years after Columbus reached the new world. So no, nobody knew about the Japanese. Hell they didn't even reached India yet until 1500. The Portuguese circumnavigated Africa, in 1488, by that point the Caribbean was colonized and the Spanish were aware that this was a new continent.
Basically he was the guy who was UTTERLY WRONG about what he claimed he knew better than the smartest people of the time, yet was INCREDIBLY LUCKY that there was a fucking continent where he was going and not wast strech of Pacific Ocean.
Well, it wasn't debunked. All that this video showed was that the other guys had a misconception about the size of Asia and the existance of Japan, not about the roundness of the Earth (at least not to a considerable factor). It is barely relevant since Columbus also had nothing to do with proving them wrong since he never reached those places. Columbus still didn't prove the Earth round (it was still widely known and accepted) and his math was still wrong, as he wouldn't have ever reached Asia and would have died in the middle of the ocean if the Americas weren't luckly there.
Columbus' entire expedition was predicated on the idea that the Earth was round. Even with his incorrect estimates of the size of the earth, Columbus and his crew were not at any unusual risk of death. Even if America was not there, they had enough supplies to last them a year which would have gotten them safety to Asia. However, the far more likely outcome would have been the crew demanding that Columbus turn around long before getting there. That, by the way, is why Columbus gave his crew fake distances. He wanted to travel for as long as possible without spooking them. In fact, even with the fake distances, the crew was quite antsy and would have demanded to turn around if they didn't find land when they did.
@@CallMeEzekiel I would like to see the source on the claims of Columbus having a year worth of supplies and deliberately duping his crew. However, it is just out of curiosity, as I find it fairly plausible. But even with that, there are still other major problems. Even if they had 1 year worth of supplies, it wouldn't have meant it would last them 1 year. Spoilage was one of the biggest factors to take in consideration when leading up a ship, and sailing for longer than 2 months would imply a high likelyhood of much of the supplies getting damp, leaking, spoiling and being contaminated on the sea, even with wax sealing methods. While I had a hard time finding concrete sources on any of the claims, including those of how many supplies he had, it was often mentioned that one of the main complaints of the crew was that food was starting to run low. They weren't starving yet, but considering the voyage ahead that would at an unreasonable best be another 3 months on the best routes of the pacific, I don't see how an expedition running into problems with their food after just 1 month of travels would be well suited to make a trip at best 4 times as long to reach Asia. And doing some math (I am in no way an expert). Having *just* enough clean water to last the crew a full year would have entierly filled either Nina's or Pinta's cargo capacity, considering the fact that water is always the most crucial of the supplies over food and the first to run out. That is without counting the solid food, armaments, repairs supplies and such. Perhaps it is likely that they could fill everything for a full year aboard the 3 ships, but that would have been a dangerous amount of weight that is an actual risk on long voyages across dangerous deep water like those of the Pacific.

Yeah, but Columbus discovery is more historically significant compared to the Vikings. Also the introduction of European plants and animals literally change the ecosystem.
If were getting technical. The native Americans discovered it first. Also the only thing that Columbus did differently from the Vikings was that he killed more people and his journey was better documented, therefore in a way one could say it is significant. But that doesnt change the fact that the reason new lands arent "discovered" today has more to do with the ramifications of someone walking onto inhabited land and claiming it to be new/undiscovered. Like I could walk to Berlin and claim that it was new land and that the people there were savages. But then I'd just be racist and in violation of several international rules.
@@Bukhari1945-REX There are a lot of discoveries which are accidantily. Vikings "discovery" was barely any and they forgot about it, if you forget about your "Discovery" than it isnt really one is it? Also Columbus was definatly the first to discover South-America, and pretty much did North-America aswell.
Aye, there's never a neutral explanation of these things. It's always explained by one of two kinds of people 1) The guy that hates America and everything about it and will portray Christopher Columbus as bad as possible and exaggerate all the worst things he did as a way of shitting on the US 2) The overly patriotic guy that pretends Columbus was an Angel and will entirely omit ANYTHING even remotely dodgy or stupid that he did.
@@tacoguy764 The US considers itself to be the representative of the entire continent of America, and so they tie the discovery of the continent by Columbus to their national identity. So in that sense, Columbus (despite being Italian) is basically considered the first American and so when people talk negatively about him, it's seen as shitting on America as a country. It's a little convoluted but that's just how it is I guess.
Some people claim that Columbus was a Portuguese spy that deliberately send Spanish to America to give Portuguese time to reach Índia through the ocean. By the way I know that because I'm Portuguese and I like the story of my country.😄
Ah yes ive heard of such portugese irritating BS before too ... claiming arigato in Japanese is taken from the portugese obrigato .... soooo iritating nobsensual fab ppl bruh
I doubt Columbus was so dedicated to Portugal that he'd be willing to sail to what he otherwise would've considered a vast ocean he couldn't return from for them.
He was portuguese / Jewish. Yes he was. You think some commoner ridden in debt from out of the country would be allowed to Marry a Portuguese Noble woman?
History is brutal. That’s a fact. That’s why despite what came of it, I celebrate Columbus Day. He did begin the process that helped bring my family to the Americas.
@@sgonzo5572 Nope, the Portuguese by the time of Columbus didn't know that the Americas existed. They were more preocuppied in raking ridiculous amounts of money from the Spice Trade to even consider "discovering" an alternative route to India that could be exploited by Spain. They weren't present in China until 1513 and in Japan until 1543. By this time, Spain already controlled almost all of Mexico,Peru, the Carribbean islands and the other territories that made the Spanish colonies in America(with Philippines being added in 1565), all thanks to Columbus's discovery of the continent. The Portuguese only took a large interest in the Americas when they discovered that the Americas were a gigantic continent when they reached Brazil in 1500, which resulted in the Treaty of Tordesilhas. So yes, the English own Columbus for finding the land that we call the Americas, as well as the other colonial powers
The vask were and always have been the best sailors the spanish have has, literally during the great age of taking the spanish treasure fleet and piracy the vask were the only pirates under the spanish crown, and they were great. If all vask abandon a ship its for reasons
Regardless of what you may say about him, Colombus and the mythic ideal of Columbus was and is cool af (as well as inspiring and relevant to our own lives)
Indeed, unfortunately my cousin got in to a coma try to defend one of Colombo statues from retards who wanted to demolish it with hammers and bare hands.

Colombus (Genoese: Cristòffa Combo) became the symbol of the Spanish-Genoese alliance. Both countries were looking for another way on the west caused by the presence of Venice/The Ottoman Empire on the East. The Gold extracted by the Spanish will end up in Genoa for many times
Since you're on a streak of making videos about crazy journeys, will you make a video covering the circumnavigation of the world by the California Clipper?
Despite what you may think of him it can't be denied that he truly did have a major impact in world History, and I do believe that the world is in some sort of debt to him for at the very least discovering the Americas for the old world
@@trla6505 what? Two sided view? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO YOU CAN ONLY HAVE ONE VIEW AT EVENTS!!!!!!! OTHERWISE I WON'T BE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND SUCH COMPLEXITY!@!@!@!!!!!
Part of me wonder if Columbus and New World explorers talked with the Portuguese and noticed some discrepancies? Like New World report seeing natives not using iron weapons (Tihano and central american tribes, I think it was decades that they discovered Maya--at least what's left of them since the Yucatan branch are only ones left by that point--and Aztecs) while Portuguese reports seeing iron weapons and a navy to boot (like Indonesia, China, Japan, and Phillipines). Also maybe languages, nation states, or realized that the "Khan"/Yuan Dynasty was no more.
Wait a minute……… these are not the Czechs!!! Time to rewatch this with popcorn! Also it would be pretty cool if you could do something more focused on the natives of south or north america.
Columbus was a real piece of work and did all these terrible things, as the most woke among us love to point out, but I hope some of them see this video so they can learn that some of these natives weren't exactly the type of people to be lauded or held up on some sort of moral pedestal over Columbus. Lol, there were natives raiding and enslaving each other and keeping other lesser natives as livestock. I'm not saying the things Columbus and some of his crew did were better or worse than what the natives did, but people really need to learn the context of things and stop trying to think that it's just "The West" or "The Colonizers" that are bad. *People* are bad and they do bad things to other people. Doesn't matter what civilization they come from. This channel is doing a lot to help educate in an entertaining way. Thanks for doing what you do, Ezekiel!
Hi would you happen to know what translation you used for letters from Columbus because he spoke another language other than Spanish and we don’t have his original record we only have some of the translations that come from kinda suspicious sources that have good reason to trash Columbus.
Hi there 🙂👋🏼 Well, almost 20 years before Colombo reached America João Vás Corte-Real was in Greenland and Canada in 1473 Before Tordesilhas treaty there was the Alcobaça treaty Cheers ✌🏼
That seaman who saw the land first likely would have been stolen from by the rest of the crew, or worse. Maybe it's a good thing that Columbus took the annuity.
@@riograndedosulball248 Yeah, makes me wonder if Columbus was actually looking out for the dude. I like give the benefit of the doubt after all. Especially knowing that Columbus did share it with him (allegedly).

Wish someone animates it one day, it's just too good
Despite what you may think of him it can't be denied that he truly did have a major impact in world History, and I do believe that the world is in some sort of debt to him for at the very least discovering the Americas for the old world
@GigiGiga The Did nothing wrong joke is still popular
@@waffelreitter7231 joke?

Yeah but it also depends in wich part of the world you are, u can thank him from an Euro descend, or curse him from a Native one
@@trla6505 what? Two sided view? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO YOU CAN ONLY HAVE ONE VIEW AT EVENTS!!!!!!! OTHERWISE I WON'T BE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND SUCH COMPLEXITY!@!@!@!!!!!
Part of me wonder if Columbus and New World explorers talked with the Portuguese and noticed some discrepancies? Like New World report seeing natives not using iron weapons (Tihano and central american tribes, I think it was decades that they discovered Maya--at least what's left of them since the Yucatan branch are only ones left by that point--and Aztecs) while Portuguese reports seeing iron weapons and a navy to boot (like Indonesia, China, Japan, and Phillipines). Also maybe languages, nation states, or realized that the "Khan"/Yuan Dynasty was no more.
The Yuan Dynasty still existed in MOngolia and would do so until the 1600s
Wait a minute……… these are not the Czechs!!!
Time to rewatch this with popcorn!
Also it would be pretty cool if you could do something more focused on the natives of south or north america.
After hearing the background music of the intro I suddenly have an irresistible urge to find and invade the nearest necron tomb world
Natives: wazup colombus
colombus: I am sorry but your free trial of life has *expired*
Lmao
What a bloody right proper Gentleman at the end there.
honestly knowing that she ate babies who were related to her is just plain disgusting.
The last bit got me into laughing my ass off i tell ya😂😂
Where’s Czechoslovak Legion Part 2!?
I don’t need money i need CallMeEziekel videos
As an Indian, I demad Americans thank us for being the reason for their discovery
After two long years I would like to personally thank you and your people and would like to present the key to the city to you
This is the content I have been subscribed to.
I love how the music at 11:46 from Rimworld stopped exactly when the meme post is stopped being read.
I love the Gilbert and Sullivan at the end of the video! Amazing.
Yoooooo finally another video !!!
I wish I could forget everything I know about this and just enjoy how cute the first part is
Columbus was a real piece of work and did all these terrible things, as the most woke among us love to point out, but I hope some of them see this video so they can learn that some of these natives weren't exactly the type of people to be lauded or held up on some sort of moral pedestal over Columbus. Lol, there were natives raiding and enslaving each other and keeping other lesser natives as livestock.
I'm not saying the things Columbus and some of his crew did were better or worse than what the natives did, but people really need to learn the context of things and stop trying to think that it's just "The West" or "The Colonizers" that are bad. *People* are bad and they do bad things to other people. Doesn't matter what civilization they come from.
This channel is doing a lot to help educate in an entertaining way. Thanks for doing what you do, Ezekiel!
True…true.
This is very true and how I’d put it, it’s a shame we have so many people who ignore a lot of historical truths or only look half-way into everything.
Hey CallMeEzekiel can I know the source of the meme at the last part of the video because it's kind of cool!
Was not expecting Children of the Omnissiah, already a good start
Normies be like “damn nice music”. Legends be like “praise the omnisiah”
Chads be like: Sell the organs (Rimworld)
This is cool as hell. Nice job dude
>video starts
>children of the omnissiah starts playing
>u got new sub my man
Colombus was just a business man doing business
@Lukas Lombardo k
sucha good channel
I dare you to make a video without that one rimworld song
No.
Just on time for Columbus day nice👍
spitting my tea over my laptop on that last part of the video
Spanish guys with Carib wives 11:27
"Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!"
Hi would you happen to know what translation you used for letters from Columbus because he spoke another language other than Spanish and we don’t have his original record we only have some of the translations that come from kinda suspicious sources that have good reason to trash Columbus.
Most of Columbus' letters were actually written or falsely translated by his rival, Amerigo Vespucci.
I am hyped for part 2
great video!
Columbus didn't know how lucky he was to run into the natives, they were so nice to him!
loved to hear Rimworld music once Ezekiel starts speaking about tobacco and drugs
BRUH WHERES PART 2 TO THE CZECOSLOVAK STORY IM DYING TO SEE THE REST!
Yay new video
nice video
Wait a second I don't remember the czechs in America...
Its all Czechia
Allways has been
@THE INVISIBLE WARRIOR no refuses to elaborate leaves
Did this guy seriously use 40k music in a countryball video? Freaking based.
0:23 we all are natural born sea men ...
Yes. I've never seen a vat grown seaman.
Wow i really like the art stile
I love your casual crassness
Nice job keep up the good work.
Maybe you can do a series of Marco polo's adventures
3:44 this process is straight fowad, hehe.
Give three cheers and one cheer more for the captain of the Santa Maria? (Maybe) doesn't have the same ring does it?
Finally. I of finding yuor vewy good powandball-theme チャンネル!
Cmon I was waiting for czechoslovak legion part 2
I like the mechanicus ost music in the background
I demand Czech video part 2!
Hi there 🙂👋🏼
Well, almost 20 years before Colombo reached America
João Vás Corte-Real was in Greenland and Canada in 1473
Before Tordesilhas treaty there was the Alcobaça treaty
Cheers ✌🏼
Vikings: pathethic
yoooooooooooooooooooooooooo that mechanicus ost tho
Nice use of the rimworld soundtrack. Hope I’m not the only one who notices!
When does the Czech legion arrive at La Española?
bro you HAVE to do a video on the protestant reformation
mechanicus ost might be a bit dark for this video but still i love that shit.
That Rimworld OST gave me a heart attack
That seaman who saw the land first likely would have been stolen from by the rest of the crew, or worse. Maybe it's a good thing that Columbus took the annuity.
Yeah seizing the bonus was wrong, but what are the odds that this guy would have kept all that money without being fucking murdered the next day?
@@riograndedosulball248 Yeah, makes me wonder if Columbus was actually looking out for the dude. I like give the benefit of the doubt after all. Especially knowing that Columbus did share it with him (allegedly).
Starting off with children of the Omnissiah. Nice
More VIEWS FOR THIS MAN
Amazing
This may sound dumb, but I never knew there were native people on the Carribean islands
That is really dumb. What were you thinking?
suprising to find "children of the omnissiah" playing in a non 40k video
I HEAR MECHANICUS MUSIC IN THE BACKGROUND!
YES!
Bob knows her flock.
Everyone wants czechoslovak legion part 2/finally
Ezekiel nah I think I'll make a video on another mad lad.
Marco Polo really pulled the biggest "I told you so"
