    On September 6, 1522, the "Victoria" sailed into harbor in southern Spain. The battered vessel and its 18 sailors were all that remained of a fleet that had departed three years before. Yet her voyage was considered a success, for the "Victoria" had achieved something unprecedented - the first circumnavigation of the globe. Ewandro Magalhaes shares the story of Magellan’s journey.

    As a Malaysian I'm glad that you focused a lot of attention on Enrique. According to the Malaccan museum, he returned to the Philippines and thus did circumnavigate the world.

    and that's the beginning of a 333-year colonization of Spain to our country, the Philippines. it all started from a mistake because Magellan thought our country was the spice island.

    An interesting sidelight: Pigafetta was puzzled because his journal, which he so carefully and meticulously kept, was 1 day behind when he got back to Spain. Till the day he died, he searched and rechecked his journal, but he couldn't discover the error.
    The truth was that he should've added 1 day when he crossed the International date line in the Pacific.

    They failed to mention that the ship's log showed that they were exactly one day off from the local time and date when they returned to Spain, which drew attention from the Pope among others and which was the first solid proof of the Earth's axial rotation. Another interesting factoid is that Pigafetta's account lingered in relative obscurity and only achieved fame long after his death...

      Seems like wherever you are history will be changed to your favor. Of course the west will play up Magellan as a hero who just helped out against a rebellion and died for his trouble, while we Filipinos will see him as an invader who died foolishly underestimating our ancestors. There probably is truth to both sides of the story.

    Fun Fact: Contrary to popular belief here in the Philippines, Lapu-Lapu DID NOT kill Magellan. It was his men who succeeded to kill Magellan at the shores of Mactan. At that time, Lapu-Lapu was a community leader of old age; thus he did not take part physically in the Battle of Mactan.
    Edit (18-Mar-21): The comment section is a complete mess, as expected in TH-cam. Very funny. Anyways, we must take the accounts of this event with a little bit of skepticism because of the scarcity of records documenting it. As far as I know, we only have the book of Antonio Pigafetta to rely on to plus local accounts. Quarrel all you like but one thing is certain: Magellan died in the Philippines.

      Circumnavigation is possible in the flat earth theory. I actually don't know who is the most ignorant, the ones who truly believe in it or the ones who say its stupid without taking the time to learn about the theory (you). Saying that a Circumnavigation proves flat earthers wrong only shows that you dont know about the flat earth theory but dont hesitate to make fun of it just because it is the most popular opinion and will give you a false sense of intelligence superiority.
      If you have any interest in knowing how Circumnavigation is possible in a flat earth, picture a circle where the North points to it's center, choose a random point and travel West, you will do a circle and reach the starting position.

In Malaysian/Indonesian history, he is known as Panglima Awang, he's a native to Sumatra and lived in the Malacca Sultanate, it's a huge possibility that he's a Malay (since Malays are concentrated in the island of Sumatra and Peninsular Malaysia).

    Just a side note. My history professor told us that there is a possibility that Pigafetta overestimated the no. of people lead by Lapu-Lapu who fought against the group of Magellan, this is because of the noted (based on other accounts) population of the island of Mactan at that time and the notion that maybe it was purposefully done to at least make it more noble for the side of Magellan in a sense that Lapu-Lapu's team won because of their supposed number and that Magellan refused the help of Raja Humabon. Though Pigafetta noted the battle formations made by the locals as they prepare to engage the team of Magellan. Still worth taking note of, who knows? History.

      Well, the idea was presented to us by our history prof, and the readings were more of collated by herself thus I can't give you the exact links or references of those as I don't have them anymore. But if you want to learn more and read some first-second hand accounts on the pre-hispanic history of the nation, I can refer you to the Blair and Robertson's The Philippine Islands ( which you can try in the Gutenberg project site). This is noting that not every single thing that we will read will be and should be considered the utter and only truth, pointing that we still need to be critical. I also want to share that my prof also suggested that many of the accounts written were distorted in a manner wherein it will justify the further colonization of the archipelago (no such thing as alternative truths tho). We can have a meaningful discussion on such if you want.

    But the real question is, the debris of the burnt Concepcion is still lying around Cebu and Mactan. If we can find it, it would bring a great piece of history for both the Philippines and Spain.

    Fuuny to see that the episode was written by Ewandro Magalhaes, which is the non-translated original of Magellan

    By the way, the time that Magellan arrived in what is now present-day Philippines, was back then not called the Philippines. It was only until after that the Spanish then named the archipelago for King Philip.

    I have complicated feelings about this video. in one hand, I'm grateful that they confirmed spherical shape of this earth. however, their expedition somehow had opened the scary destiny for our country. years after years of war and became vassals. I hope it won't happen again in the future; where a country desires another country's wealth and killing thousands because of that.

    This is 1522, meanwhile in 1417 before Magellans voyage the ancient king of Sulu Philippines, known by the name King Paduka Batara of Sulu Philippines (Paduka Pahala in other sources) set sail for China for a tribute mission. Accompanying him in his journey were two other Muslim leaders as well as 340 members of their delegation, including Batara’s two wives and three sons.
    As was the tradition during those days, the Sulu king also brought with him gifts-among them pearls, tortoiseshell, precious stones, and a “memorial inscribed on gold.” The purpose of the trip, after all, was to establish a friendship with the Ming Dynasty’s Emperor Yongle.
    The Chinese annals identified Batara as the “eastern king” and the most superior among the three. The two other rulers, Maharaja Kolamating and Paduka Prabhu, were described as “western king” and “cave king,” respectively. It is believed that Paduka Prabhu was Paduka Batara’s brother-in-law who most likely came from Borneo.
    After arriving in Chinese shores in August of 1417, the group made its way to Hangzhou where they embarked on a fleet of barges that would take them to Beijing. The Emperor was delighted with the gifts he received from the Sulu delegates, and he reciprocated it with probably the finest hospitality the group had ever experienced-silk clothing, private accommodation, and entertainment worthy of royalty

    I strongly recommend the biography of Magellan written by Stefan Zweig. It's one of the best biographies ever written.

    If you're an Asian, and a Filipino like me, you'll see Spaniards and Magellan as antagonists. But even tho we see them that way, I, as a Filipino, thank them for writing histories and thank God for granting us peace.
    We Cebuanos (people from Cebu) are influenced greatly by the Spaniards

    This September 28th it's been 500 years since Magellan and his crew set sails. Five centuries ago and we are in modern times. I wonder 500 years from now the future will look back in this moment of time and generation.

    As far as I know, an interesting thing about Magellan’s battle against the natives in Mactan is that they were planning to use their ships and the cannons. But the battlefield, unbeknownst to them, was shallow, so they had to abandon it and fight the natives head-on.
    Sorry for taking your time. Just a small thing I wanted to share. 😅

    I speak Cebuano (among others) and now I'm learning European Portuguese. Now I'm thinking what would have happened if they were actually able to communicate with each other properly. I love Mactan I grew up spending summers swimming in those beaches.
