Strap in for a whirlwind journey across oceans and centuries! This lecture plunges into the Age of Discovery, when bold European explorers—armed with little more than a compass, a dream, and royal ambition—set sail into the unknown. From the spice-laden ports of the East to the gold-rich shores of the New World, we will trace the daring expeditions that redrew the map of civilization. Meet the navigators who defied superstition and stormy seas, the empires that rose on the backs of conquest, and the civilizations forever changed by first contact. With dramatic tales, vivid visuals, and a touch of humor, we will explore how these voyages sparked global trade, cultural collisions, and the birth of the modern world.
