Christopher Columbus (October 30, 1451? – 20 May 1506) was an explorer and trader, who crossed the Atlantic Ocean and reached the Americas on October 12, 1492 under the flag of Castile. History places great significance on his landing in America in 1492, with the entire period of the history of the Americas before this date usually known as Pre-Columbian, and the anniversary of this event, Columbus Day, being celebrated in many parts of America. Although there is evidence of Pre-Columbian trans-Atlantic Ocean European contact, Columbus is commonly credited as the first European to see the Americas because of the profound impact his contact wrought on history. His voyage marked the beginning of European exploration and colonization of the Americas.\n\nIt is generally assumed he was Genoese. However there is no solid evidence of this and historians claim he could have been born in other places, from the Crown of Aragón to the Kingdoms of Galicia or Portugal, or in the Greek island of Chios, among others. His birthname is also unknown; see the section on Columbus' national origin for a discussion of his origin and names.

During the Peruvian War of Independence, the area surrounding Ayacucho was the last territory held by the Spaniards. On December 9, 1824, the Battle of Ayacucho, or "La Quinua", took place at Pampa de La Quinua, few miles away from Ayacucho, near the town of Quinua. This battle – between the royalist (Spanish) and nationalist (republican) troops – sealed the independence of Peru and South America. The nationalist republican forces were lead by Antonio José de Sucre, Bolívar's lieutenant. The nationalist army defeated the colonial regime, so Bolívar changed the city's name to Ayacucho. After the battle, Viceroy José de la Serna signed the final capitulation whereby the Spanish agreed to leave Peru.\n\nAyacucho is known as the city of 33 (colonial) churches, such as Santo Domingo, San Agustin and San Francisco. The oldest churches in the city were built in the 15th century, and contain Spanish, Latin and Moorish influences.

Funny question!!! I'd say the Phoenicians were the ones who discovered us in the sense Columbus discovered America. The sailed the Mediterranean, arrived in the South of Spain 3000 years ago and founded the town of Cadiz, which still exists. Actually, it is the oldest Western town!!

I guess you could say that the Philippines was discovered by Ferdinand Magellen but the Philippines was named after Philip II (Spanish: Felipe II de Habsburgo; Portuguese: Filipe I) (May 21, 1527 – September 13, 1598), known to some historians by the indelicate nickname "Philip the Sap", was the first official King of Spain from 1556 until 1598, king of Naples and Sicily from 1554 until 1558, King of England (co-regent with Mary I) from 1554 to 1558, King of Portugal and the Algarves (as Philip I) from 1580 until 1598 and King of Chile from 1554 until 1556. He was born at Valladolid and was the only legitimate son of Holy Roman Emperor Charles V and Isabella, the daughter of king Manuel I of Portugal, to survive childhood.

Ferdinand Magellan was the first to try.  The ships he commanded made it all the way, but he died en route.  Juan Sebastian Elcano took over after he died and brought the ships home, so he made it.  Garcia Jofre de Loaysa's tried a bit alter.  All of his ships sank and he died, but Fernando de la Torre and eight survivors were picked up by a Portuguese ship and made it home. The first person to plan and lead and expedition and survive it was Sir Francis Drake.

Well he sure is recognised now.  \nBut he didnt get much recognition back then because he never actually completed the voyage around the planet.  He was killed by natives when they stopped in the Philippines Islands and never returned to Spain.  Eighteen of his approximate 250 crew members and one of the 5 ships in his fleet did return to Spain in 1522, and were the first to circumnavigated the globe.

1518?, Spanish explorer in Mexico. Sailing from Cuba on a slave hunt, he discovered Yucatán in 1517. He died from wounds received in a battle with the Maya. His explorations were furthered by Juan de Grijalva.\n\nd. 1526?, Spanish conquistador. Sent in 1523 by Pedro Arias de Ávila to deprive Gil González de Ávila (d. 1543) of his claims to Nicaragua, Fernández de Córdoba founded León and Granada (Nicaragua). In an attempt to seize Nicaragua for himself, he was surprised by his commander and put to death. The Nicaraguan unit of currency (córdoba) is named after him.\n\nFrancisco Fernández (Hernandez) de Córdoba (? - 1524) was a Spanish explorer and slave trader who explored Mexico (1517) and Nicaragua (1524). \nIn February 1517, Cordoba sailed from Cuba to the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico with 3 ships and 110 soldiers; he was the first European to travel to this area, and the first to see the Mayan people. Cordoba had been sent to Mexico by Diego Velazquez, the governor of Cuba, to look for treasures to plunder. First Juan de Grijalva and then Hernan Cortes continued the Spanish exploration/conquest of Mexico. \n\nIn 1524, the Governor of Darien (now part of Panama), Pedro Arias de Ávila (also called Pedrarias Dávila), sent Hernandez de Cordoba to Nicaragua (Francisco de Soto accompanied him on this trip) to claim the land (and usurp the land claims of Gil González de Ávila ). On this trip, Cordoba founded the first permanent Spanish settlements in the area, including Granada (on Lake Nicaragua) and Leon (east of Lake Managua). After trying to claim Nicaragua for himself, Cordoba was killed by Pedro Arias de Ávila.

Well, I don't know that much, but i know that the lost city is called Machu Picchu, and it was an indian city, a place that the Mexicans were trying to find. They never discovered it, so they decided to drop the search. Some people say that Indians hid their gold there from the white men.
