Enkosi, xkcd , ukusikhokela ukuba Uluhlu lwe-Wikipedia yeengcamango eziqhelekileyo eziphosakeleyo . Ndibuhlungu ukuthi bendikholelwa ukuba uninzi lwezi lujonge nje ezimbalwa zokuqala.
Imizamo kaChristopher Columbus yokufumana inkxaso kuhambo lwakhe khange iphazanyiswe yinkolelo yaseYurophu kuMhlaba othe tyaba. Ngapha koko, oomatiloshe kunye nabaqhubi bexesha babesazi ukuba uMhlaba ungqukuva, kodwa (ngokuchanekileyo) akavumelani noqikelelo lukaColumbus lomgama oya eIndiya. Ukuba amaMelika ebengekho, kwaye ukuba uColumbus uqhubekile waya eIndiya (ade abeke ecaleni isoyikiso semvukelo ebephantsi kwayo) ngewayephelelwe zizinto ngaphambi kokufikelela kwinqanaba awayehamba ngalo. Ingxaki apha yayikukuhamba ngenqwelomoya, ubunzima bokumisela ubude ngaphandle kwewotshi echanekileyo. Le ngxaki yahlala de umyili uJohn Harrison wayila ii-chronometers zakhe zokuqala zolwandle. Udidi lobukrelekrele lwalusazi ukuba uMhlaba ungqukuva ukususela kwimisebenzi yezithandi zobulumko zamaGrike uPlato noAristotle. U-Eratosthenes wenza uqikelelo oluhle kakhulu lobubanzi be-Earth ngenkulungwane yesithathu ye-BC.
