You know, in earlier times and still now, there were and still are people that believe that the earth is a flat area, but how can there be mountains, and why do we never come to an end on the earth? And hence, the way that things are today, is that we know that the earth is a geoid today, and when seeing at the sea, things that are a long distance is seeing small, and things and ships and boats and planes and whatever coming closer to us are perceived as bigger, and that is the reason why we are thinking and feeling that the earth is not flat today.
A circumnavigation of the world was first undertaken by Ferdiand Magellan by an expedition in the years 1519-1522, and this trip indicated that the world was just a travelling route around a geoid, and nowadays in 2024, we are just believing that. From Spain to the far right on the map, they traveled across the Atlantic Ocean, and so they circled America all the way to the south through the Strait of Magellan, and hence Ferdinand Magellan has a strait named after him, and these things are great through the planet and where we are from time to time and from place to place when being here on the blue planet. And after that they came to the Philippines and from there the expedition went back home, and hence Ferdinand Magellan has showed the world that there was possibilities for travelling from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean, and from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean, and he was an excellent discoverer of these things. The boundary between the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans is the dividing line between two worlds. It is almost as if an invisible wall prevents them from mixing and flowing into each other. As the border of the Atlantic Ocean considering the meridian over Cape Horn, and we are free to have a look on the map when we are in doubt, or when we want to discover the world even better, more thouroughly on in best manners, and the map is an exploration of what has happened in earlier times, and many people have liked to see and to investigate where we are and how things are around us, when being where we are on the blue planet from time to time.
And Ferdinand Magellan did not experience and discover the travelling distance from Spain around the world and going back to Spain, but he died during the voyage. Hence, Ferdinand Magellan died in the Philippines during his voyage, and his crew completed the return trip to Spain in 1522. And hence, the crew has showed the world that there is a route around the earth, and that we can travel from one point to another by going through all these oceans that we are within and surrounded by by travelling as what is possible when being on the earth, and try to understand how the travelling routes in sailing and by boats and ships are around the world.
So, Ferdinand Magellan did not experience and get the older days as many of us are perceiving, but he died being 40 to 41 years of age. But there is not an infinite journey in the life, and hence all things and persons have their ends when we are here, and hence we cannot live and work forever and ever when being a human being as we are when being here. And you know, there are much to experience on the oceans, and some are working there, and we should respect any guy doing a work to live and to die when we are here, and there is an eternity since the start and end of all the possible days we are perceiving here, and years being before and after us when we are in the life as we are.
So, what did Ferdinand Magellan really discover, and what did he prove in the life when being travelling around on all these seas while he was there? Well, you know, the life is something from our biological mother and father when we are here, and hence we cannot determine where we should be and happen to us, unless we are born to the time when we were living and working and operating and enjoying the leisure times while we have been and still are being as human beings around the earth's story and history through all times everywhere. And Ferdinand Magellan proved the existence of the Planetary Ocean, and hence he became one of the forerunners of the knowledge of the latitudinal climatic differentiation to which the development of sea currents, violent storms, and winds is linked. And accordingly, there is a logic and a science with the weather and with what is happening at any times anywhere while we are here.

Thanks for reminding us of this piece of history. I didn't remember that the first to circumnavigate the globe was the Portuguese explorer and navigator Magellan in the early 1500s
