The Results of Amerigo Vespucci's Journey

Amerigo Vespucci, who prepared his materials on the geographical discoveries by means of exaggerations and lies, wrote that, the expedition investigated Brazilian coasts by going towards 32 degrees southern latitudes on February 15, 1502 and then put to the ocean. However, other witnesses didn't affirm it and there isn't any note about it on the maps. The Florentine accountant wanted to make up fake success for himself - investigation of Brazilian coasts between 25 and 32 degrees southern latitudes. Of course, it isn't difficult to expose his lie.

According to the report of the expedition, two caravels left the point near the outfall of Rio de Cananor (25 degrees southern latitude) on February 13. However, according to Vespucci's letter, he reached 32 degrees southern latitudes on the Brazilian coast on February 15. Of course, it is non-sense. It was impossible to overcome the distance between 25 and 32 degrees southern latitudes as it was equal to 770-780 km. Besides, there were different important geographical points - islands, peninsulas, outfalls, capes etc. on the coast between the outfall of the Cananea River and 32 degrees southern latitudes. If those points were discovered, they would be noted on the expedition's report. It wasn't done and it proves that, the expedition didn't even pass near 320 southern latitudes, it returned to Portugal directly from 25 degrees southern latitude.

Why did Vespucci give such false information? Didn't he know that, he might be unmasked at the result of investigations? He chose such "effective" method in order to achieve fame.

Though the expedition was led by Gonsalo Coelho, the Florentine accountant presented himself as the most important person of the travel. The world community didn't know the truth for about 450 years. Most obscures began to be found out after the map, made in 1504-1505, was found at the library of Fano, located at 13 degrees eastern longitude on the coast of the Adriatic Sea at the end of 60th years of the 20th century. Brazil was noted as the "Land of Gonsalo Coelho" on that map. Coelho began to be known as one of the most important figures of the history of major geographical discoveries after that notable finding.
