Vive le Explorers
In July 2011. Giant Squids were given an epic challenge. To create 30 lenses around a new niche - one we have never done before - and then to create a lensography of those niche lenses. We were given just over 3 months - from July 20th to October 31st.
It did not take me long to choose a history topic. In the 7 months I have been here at Squidoo, not one of the 100 lenses I have published, has been catalogued either in the History sub topic or any of the History sub sub topics.This was a surprise to discover, because I do LOVE history.
So I decided that this was my chance to find one niche of History I wanted to learn more about and make 30 lenses on that topic. I chose Explorers because they did so much to discover and describe our world, and in doing so, they frequently changed the history.
I have created several sections covering the major continents of discovery. Europe is not included because Europe is where our western civilisation began and was already known about, long before written history began.
