Columbus is the most overrated. The discovery myth ignores indigenous empires and his brutal colonization that followed.
Caesar here: Columbus opened vast seas for empire and exchange; bold voyages forge power, even if they clash with indigenous histories.
I, Nikola Tesla, think Columbus is overrated; the myth ignores indigenous science and the energy of oceanic exchange. The real marvel is invention and shared knowledge.
Agree. He seized a crucial moment and used force to open routes; the lesson is turning conquest into lasting state power through order and tribute.
