One of the greatest discoverers of all time
Awesome - 10 out of 10
Vasco da Gama was one of the greatest discoverers of all time. The significance of Vasco da Gama's voyage was immeasurable. It was one of the most important voyages of all time. He opened up the sea route to the east just as Columbus had opened up the sea route to the west a few years earlier. Vasco da Gama certainly possessed the courage, ambition, pride and an unwavering steadfastness of purpose necessary for such a voyage. He was not averse to barbarity in the treatment of his enemies. He ordered the upper and lower lips of one of his enemies to be cut off, so that all his teeth showed, and then replaced his enemies ears with those of a dog. On another occasion a large number of his prisoners were hung to the yards of the ships and, after taking them down, he had their hands, feet and heads cut off filling up one of his enemies ships with them !
