We all know that Columbus believed the world was round when others believed it was flat and that if you traveled far enough you would go over the edge.
We also know that Columbus reached what we now know as America.
While there are still a few who believe Columbus returned to Spain and told Queen Isabella that he discovered a new world, most believe he had told her he had reached India.
Recently documents written by Queen Isabella's official scribe were uncovered revealing what Columbus actually said on returning from his first voyage.
His first words were, "I'll bet I'm the first man who ever got nineteen hundred miles on a galleon."
