The Episode is Incorrect...

Columbus sailed because he thought it was a better and faster way to India, no one knew that "The New World" even existed.

"Columbus wanted to find a new route to India, China, Japan and the Spice Islands. ... Columbus knew that the world was round and realised that by sailing west, instead of east around the coast of Africa, as other explorers at the time were doing, he would still reach his destination." - https://www.rmg.co.uk/discover/explore/christopher-columbus-0 —Preceding unsigned comment added by WootonBasset (talk • contribs)

I talked personally to Phil Lollar about this episode, and he said he based the script on the actual diaries of Columbus. Can we list the "goof" as merely a controversy, since Phil claims it's factually correct? Scientific Guy (talk / AIOC Episode Timeline) 15:30, 21 December 2020 (MST)
