Today's date is 1502 AD and i go the chance to have a brief interviewed with Christopher Columbus.
Q- Tell me about yourself first exploration.
A- I am an Italian explorer who sailed west in search of India for trading spices. But instead I made four round trips to the Caribbean and South America in 1492 to 1504.
Q- You said you had four trips, tell me about your first one.
A- I sailed on a ship I captained called Santa Maria, and i looted gold and kidnapped some of the local Indians and then sold them back at home for slavery. But on the way back my ship got wrecked so I had to sail back on the Nina.
Q- How were your other trips?
A- Our second one was much bigger, we sailed 17 ships and created a base at the Hispaniola. My third one we sailed much more south, to places like Venezuela. And I died in my fourth exploration and was buried in the Dominican Republic.
Q- This all seems expensive, Did you pay for all of this?
A- Ha, no it would have been way to expensive, I was granted the three ships for my first trip by King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella.
