Throughout the ages mankind has constantly
had a fondness for exploring the unknown. Even to this day we want to discover greater
unknown mysteries. From Adam exploring the Garden of Eden to NASA putting range
rovers on Mars, we human beings are curious.
One of the most recognized and remembered
explorations are Christopher Columbus’ discovery of America. He sailed his ship across the Atlantic Ocean to
locate a direct water route west from Europe to Asia but ended up in the Bahamas.
Columbus wanted to discover a faster way to travel to Asia via boat and Columbus
wanted fame and fortune. To make this voyage that is so important, Columbus had
to sacrifice the fact he might get lost, crash, starve, and even catch scurvy
and such diseases. And this is only one discovery of the unknown!
Anther important voyage into the
unknown is Lewis and Clark exploration into the regions west of
the Mississippi River. They explored for they had held interest in further
exploring this largely still unknown region of the continent. They traveled on foot, horse, canoe, and any other means that they had to. Lewis and Clark risked starvation during the harsh winters
and/or become hopelessly lost in the Rocky Mountains. All these risk for
curiosity
We humans are willing to risk our lives to know the unknown.
We travel to solve curiosity, to gain fame, and even just to make our lives
simpler. Humans will never stop exploring the endless unknown.
