In this TimeGhost Shorts episode we share with you the fact and the fiction of Columbus and his voyage across the Atlantic. Working to correct pervasive historical myths is what we love to do at TimeGhost, because we want to capture the true Zeitgeist of an era, rather than the mythologized account of one great man. These short videos allow us to reach exactly the type of audience which might not have encountered this school of history before, so from the bottom of our hearts thank you for making that possible.
