This is a lie. He was a symbol of exploration

He founded America in 1492 and died in 1506 at the age of 54. He made four(4) voyagges back and forth to Spain which certainly had to take some time.

In all this busyness, he still had time to do what.

Speculation is that he is not an important historical figure, that someone else would have found America but they did not.
