    There is a false belief among people that Christopher Columbus set out on his voyages and somewhere along the way he discovered that the world was round. This is not quite true, actually. Columbus knew that the world was round much before he sailed forth. People knew about the world being round much before Columbus set forth on his voyages to search out the new world.

    Research and history shows that Christopher Columbus, who was born to a wool weaver in Genoa, Italy, knew that the world was round from the time he was in school. Though Columbus was not able to go to school too often, he was able to read and write the language that was most in use them, Latin, and also Spanish, during the course of his voyages.

    People also believe that Columbus tried to prove to all around that the world was actually round, and not flat, during the course of his travels. This was something he knew and wanted to be proved to the rest of the world. He made four voyages in all. The first voyage was with three ships - Pinta, Santa Maria, and Nina.
