    Ferdinand Magellan led the first voyage around the world from 1519 to 1522. Antonio Pigafetta, an Italian nobleman, joined the expedition and documented the journey in his journal. The journal details how Magellan proved that the Earth was round by circling it entirely. It describes Magellan discovering the strait that now bears his name and becoming the first to sail from the Atlantic to the Pacific oceans. Of the original 237 sailors, only 18 returned, including Pigafetta on the sole surviving ship, Victoria. Pigafetta's journal became the basis for his famous 1525 account of the voyage and helped disprove the theory that the Earth was flat.

    FIRST VOYAGE OF MAGELLAN AROUND THE WORLD

    Analysis: Pigaffeta's Chronicle

    1. What is the main idea?

    The main idea of Pigaffeta’s Chronicle is that The Magellan Route is the trail of
    the First Voyage Around the World. The historical expeditions of Ferdinand Magellan
    and the rediscovery of the Philippines. Magellan proves that the Earth was round and so
    he proves it with his exploration and he did prove that the Earth is round. The Flat Theory
    has been debunked after. Magellan Route represents the confirmation of the Earth’s
    roundness, is at the origins of the concept of globalism and the universality of knowledge.
    The discovery of the Strait of Magellan and the crossing of the Pacific Ocean, new
    models of expansion and economic were well known, involving countries from all
    continents and is called globalization. It was finally proven that the New World was its
    own continent rather than an extension of Asia, that there was an ocean between the two
    and that resources of the Indies could be acquired through new means. Also after the
    voyage of Magellan, the Flat Earth Theory has been debunked. Pigafetta’s work instantly
    became prominent literary men in the west like William Shakespeare referred to the book
    in their interpretation of the New World.

    2. What is going on when the source is created?

    A young Italian nobleman, Antonio Pigafetta, who had joined the expedition and
    served as an assistant to Ferdinand Magellan route to the Moluccas Islands. Antonio
    Pigafetta studied astronomy, geography, and cartography. In 16th century, Antonio
    Pigafetta wrote the book on board one of the 5 ships that was first to travel the world
    during the expedition that was led by the Portuguese explorer, Ferdinand Magellan, to
    prove that the world is round. Sailing southward along the coast of South America,
    Magellan discovered the strait that today bears his name became the first European to
    enter the Pacific Ocean from the east. Magellan died while exploring the Philippines, but
    his ships continued west to complete the circumnavigation of the globe. When Magellan
    died, the rest of the fleet was gone. The Santiago shipwrecked, the San Antonio
    overtaken, the Concepcion burned and the Trinidad abandoned. Out of the 237 sailors
    who departed from Seville, eighteen returned on the Victoria. At the end of the
    voyage, Pigafetta was on board the Victoria, this was the only ship that was able to return
    to Spain. Pigafetta had managed to survive, along with his journal notes that detailed the
    discovery of the western route to the Moluccas. Pigafetta’s journal became the basis for
    his 1525 travelogue. The expedition started in 1519 and ended in Spain in 1522.
