I saw the headline and I figured it was a black guy who outdid Magellan. I would have bet money on it.

It was Magellan. All the rest is unsupported conjecture. Magellan Uber alles.

Historians believe that honor belongs to an enslaved person named Enrique,

Yes, of course. Our neo-marxist masters and historical revisionists stick to some very basic and obvious propaganda themes

Next up - Enrique was likely TRANS.

I saw a documentary about this when I was a child. The article is correct. Magellan wasn’t the first person to circumnavigate the globe. It was these two guys.

"If Enrique"

In other words he didn't and the article is a DEI lie. But it is a very interesting historical tidbit.

Proving once again, if you bend the facts and manipulate them enough you can rewrite history to your own liking and agenda.

Usually the Captain is credited for the expedition, crewmen and passengers along for the trip don't count.

“I dunno, I kinda like DeSoto...”

“What the hell did he do?!”

“Discovered the Mississippi”

“They woulda found it anyway!”

The Chinese sailor Zhang Hua may have done it before Magellan. That does not diminish Magellan’s accomplishment. He went the hard way around Cape Horn
