Christopher's Crazy Impacts;D

My impacts have a both positive and negative side. A downfall on my discovering America was the mistreating I gave the native people who we’re currently living on the land. For example diseases like yellow fever, malaria, measles, small pox, pneumonia, whooping cough we’re brought with my fellow Europeans. A further problem with this fact is that the European explores who brought the diseases to the land we’re already immured to them, compared to the newly exposed natives. Also, the populations we’re affected. At one time I captured some of the natives and brought them back to Spain. After seeing myself take Indians without question, other Europeans began to do the same. They we’re selling these people off as slaves, and farmers we’re working them on their fields.

Though not all impacts we’re negative. Because of me, the spread of culture and goods occurred. A trade between the Americas goods and the European goods started to emerge. Also, the planting of certain fruits and vegetables we’re planted like corn, cayenne, cocoa beans, peanuts, potatoes, and tomatoes became more widespread besides just in the native lands as the Americas. These new crop gains gave a boosting to countries such as Russia, England, and France a boost in the economy because they each benefited from the crops. Both culture and economy of many countries we’re affected positively because of this new discovery.

Check out my achievements (;

My achievements included starting the very successful Columbian Exchange. I don’t mean to brag, but it brought much crops and livestock from the eastern hemisphere all the way to the western hemisphere. Examples of this could be corn, vanilla, chocolate, potatoes, etc.

Another achievement was the island in the ‘new world’ named San Salvador. Like this newfound land, I started colonizing in the new world which is now America today. Besides the Americas, I landed on what is now Jamaica, Guadeloupe and Puerto Rico on one of my voyages. Because of this I am known as a navigator, colonizer, and an explorer who played a key role in spreading civilization across a significant portion of the Earth. My voyages lead to awareness of the Western world. Bringing my culture across this new discovered area. Without me, people question if the United States of America may have been delayed indefinitely, or have never occurred at all.

Though, I must admit, finding what is now The United States of America wasn’t really my goal. I was aiming to finding India, thinking by going west I would eventually hit the coast because the earth is spherical. Even though my logic was wrong, my luck was right. I made of the most amazing discoveries of my time.

My FAVORITE painting the Mona Lisa :)

My long lasting impact on the world.. OHYEAH :)

         I am known as quite the Renaissance man and also a contributor to the Humanist movement. I impacted the art world by being one of the first to incorporate major realism to my portraits as well as add natural backgrounds, depth and emotions to my pieces. I also had major influences on in the design of hydraulics, mechanical engineering, structural engineering  such as the construction of canal systems, locks, bridges, fortification, and advanced weaponry of the day both offensive and defensive. I inspired many other inventors as well as scientist with my studies of the human anatomy.

The early life of me, Christopher Columbus

Hi, I’m Christopher Columbus. I was born in the year 1451 in Genoa, which at my lifetime was an independent city-state and renowned trading center and even the wealthiest city in the western Mediterranean. Here we were we’ll educated, learning the language of Liguria, and in the future I’ve learned Latin, Portuguese, Spanish, and even Catalan. Growing up, my father Delmonico Columbus was a wool merchant in my city. He gave us much wealth; he was constantly buying and selling real estate over my lifetime. Instead of following in my fathers weaving career footsteps, I was more interested in the sea, and what mysteries and treasuries it beholds. I loved to sail my ships to Ghana, Ireland, Portugal, and even Iceland as well. While in Portugal, I met my lovely wife Dona Felipa Perestrello y Moniz. Together we had our first son named Diego.

One major problem I faced in my life was at the time when the Turks captured Constantinople in 1453. Because of their invasion, oriental trade goods went to the highest prices I have ever seen. At this point, I was paying too much for goods. I knew I couldn’t face this much longer, so I set off for the ‘fortunes’ that we’re said to be held in the route to “the indies”. I set myself on a plan to go west and find these treasures myself. The “ocean sea” was ahead of me, and I was set to go half way around the world. After befriending my Spanish friends, King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella funded me money for my new plan. They we’re both so content on where they were after wining the war; I felt this was the right time to ask for their help. They accepted, and had faith in my plans and me. My first ever voyage was set on August 3^rd, 1492.

My achievments as Leonardo Da Vinci !

           My many interests and talents have named me as many different professions such as a painter, sculptor, architect, musician, scientist, mathematician, engineer, inventor, anatomist, geologist, cartographer, botanist and writer. I sketched the first parachute, first helicopter, first airplane, first tank, first repeating rifle, swinging bridge, paddle boat. Despite my varying interests, I'm most famously known for my impression as a Renaissance artist. Some of my most famous achievements as an artist were my paintings; Annunication, in 1482 the Adoration of the Magi, in 1475 I painted an angel in Verrocchio's Baptism of Christ, and my most famous piece of art in 1404 called the Mona Lisa. One of my later paintings that was also quite famous was The Last Supper, which I painted in 1495. Lastly I had also became quite fond of my Self Portrait which I painted int 1515. 

I'm Leonardo Da Vinci :D

heeyy gguuyyyss :D

Heliocentric Models

My life as Leonardo Da Vinci

         Hi I am Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci, or most people call me just Leonardo da Vinci. I was born on April 15, 1452 in Vinci, Italy, just outside of Florence. I am the illegitimate son of Perio da Vinci and my mother is named Caterina and even though my mother left my father I have a total of 17 half sisters and brothers. Growing up in my father's home I was able to read a few scholarly texts owned by family and friends and also received an informal education in Latin, geometry, and mathematics. When I was fifteen I was able to work as an apprentice in the renowned workshop of Andrea del Verrochio in Florence. Even though I was only an apprentice I was said to have immense talent and was able to portray this in one of my first big breaks when I painted an angel in Verrochio's "Baptism of Christ" I was so good in fact, that my master Verrochio swore to never paint again.

        Eventually in search of new challenges and more money I serviced myself to the Duke of Milan in 1482. I was able to broaden my horizons while working for the Duke by painting, sculpting, designing elaborate court festivals, designed weapons, buildings and machinery. I produced studies on many subjecsts such as; nature, flying machines, geometry, mechanics, municipal construction, canals and architecture. 

       After the invasion by the French, the Duke of Milan, Ludovico Sforza fell from power in 1499 I was forced to find a new patron. Throughout the next 16 years of my life I traveled and worked throughout Italy for a number of employers including the horrid, Cesare Borgia. I spent a year with Borgia's army working as a military engineer where I was also able to meet Niccolo Machiavelli, author of "The Prince". 

        From 1513 to 1516 I worked in Rome, in a workshop while producing a variety of projects for the Pope. Although following the death of my patron Giulian de' Medici on March of 1516 I was offered the far more prestigious title of Premier Painter and Engineer and Architect of King Francis I in France. Shortly after this however, I began suffering from a paralysis of the right hand. I was still able to draw and teach but my career began to slow down from here on. I hope you enjoyed my life story it was quite rewarding and fulfilling for me :)

      

My impacts on the world that followed me ! (Galileo)

I think that my greatest impact on the world that followed me was my discoveries through my telescope. I know that it was a struggle to get where I knew I needed to go, and I know that sometimes I felt overcome by peoples thoughts of me, but I knew I needed to keep going. My Heliocentric idea will last forever, and I know it. Although my colleague and I guess my enemy Capricornus had made a heliocentric model before, he never had the evidence to prove it. My telescope provided evidence that the Earth traveled around the sun and not vive versa, and even though the Roman Catholics didn’t like it, I knew it was right and I know it will have a huge impact on other people in the future. I know this invention and achievement will impact the way the people view the universe, and it is nice to know that because of me, they will have an accurate knowledge on it as well. I also created a compass, which is helping the military now, so no doubt will it help them in the future. Although i did have many other impacts in the world, because of all the things I invented and created, I really do feel that my Heliocentric idea will have the greatest impact on everyone who follows me. Even though the Roman Catholic Church prosecuted me for my idea, I do know it is correct, and i do know it will have a lasting impact.

My achievements as Galileo

At first, I studied pendulums. I studied the way there movement and the way they worked. At first, no one knew what they really were, I just sort of noticed one, one day when I was looking at a lamp swing in the church I attended. I became very interested in the movement of this odd new thing, and I soon discovered that the arc of the pendulum angle, has nothing to do with the time it takes to swing back and forth. Through this discovery I learned a lot about time, which led me to invent a new object known as a clock. The clock I made has a large swinging pendulum in it in order to help keep the time. As some of you may know, I am very interested in mechanical devices. I enjoyed working with them and through looking at the way oars on a boat worked, I realized what they did to the water in order for the ship to move. Through looking and playing around with this, I soon created a pump. The way my pump worked was that it used only one horse to raise the water. Although these achievements are some very interesting and important to life that follows my own, and although I am very proud of them, I think I am most proud of my invention known as a telescope. Even though I got my idea from the other Europeans who used a mechanical device to magnify objects, I took this to the next level and made it possible to be able to magnify and object up to 20X’s. I learned that there were other planets, and I got to see the moon so close. It was unbelievable.

Im Galileo :)

My life as Galileo

Hello, I am Galileo Galilei. I was born on February 15th, 1564 in a place called Pisa, Italy. My family consists of me, my mother Giulia Ammannati, my father Vincenzo Galilei, and my 7 younger brothers and sisters. When i was only 8 years old, my family moved to Florence, The town my father was from, but left me with Muzio Tedaldi, a man related to my mother by marriage. Two years after they moved, I went to Florence to meet them and got tutored by Jacopo Borghini until i was old enough to go to school in a monastery. I attended Camaldolese Monastery at Vallombrosa. Here I lived with the strict life of a Monk, and to my surprise loved it. I told my father that I had wanted to become a monk and take up priesthood, but he already had a plan set for me. He wanted me to learn in the area of the sciences. I moved back to Pisa to live with Muzio Tedaldi again and shortly after enrolled at the University of Pisa to earn a medical degree. I never really desired a medical degree, therefore I did not take it as seriously as my father, who was a physician would have liked me too. But I did realize my true interests in Math and Natural Philosophy. After a long period of time, of trying to convince my father, me and my friend Ricci finally persuaded him to allow me to study what I wanted, Math.

After years of tutoring in the field of mathematics, and after writing my first book called “The Little Balance” I was given the spot as the Chair of Mathematics at the University of Pisa., the one of course I attended in my years. I studied a lot of different fields of science, all of which had something to do with my love for math. I even wrote an essay series called “De Motu” but I never actually published them. Years later, in 1591, a great heartbreak came over me when my father died. Although it was a heartrending experience, I was the oldest, which meant I had to support my family. Since my job at Pisa barely paid, I went to go find a job which paid better. Luckily I found a place at University of Padua. This new job not only offered me a much better salary, but I met a beautiful woman named Maria Gamba. I could not marry her because my financial situation was not the best, but we did parent 2 beautiful girls and a strong son together.

Through my discoveries with the telescope I began to believe against Capricornus and his geocentric idea. Most people did not like it though because my heliocentric ideas were against those of gods. As I finally got over this case I went back to my interests in math and science. I am here writing this today, me being 70 years old. My eyes are getting bad and the doctors say that I will soon be completely blind. My life has been good and productive and I feel its story will last a long time.
