How did Pigafetta's account help you understand Magellan first Voyage around the world?
Answers
Explanation:
To me personally it helps me understand how people in the actual ships saw their own ship (since it is a first hand account of the Magellans/Elcano trip by a fleet member), which means it has the most accurate details, setting aside (of course) the self-interest of people involved in projecting a better image of themselves, and also how Europeans that had never visited the Philippines saw the place and tried to figure out the languages spoken there (the account is the first record of languages like Cebuano).
It helped me see how he wanted to convey significant information about the discovery of the islands and the illustrious Filipino ancestors who prospered and lived happily on the islands. The main focus on Magellan's expedition offers unambiguous proof that the planet was round and the finding of true precolonial culture.
- It was acknowledged that the information in his journal was a valuable source of Philippine history. It emphasises the forefathers' traditional way of living.
- It is crucial knowledge that Pigafetta's description of how our ancestors lived in the past has been provided in the literature. The text has a significant effect on people's lives not just in the Philippines but also globally. The modern era's social, cultural, and political landscape were shaped in part by the 16th century's economic expansion.
- Since Pigafetta defined multiculturalism as a wide diversity of people and societies interacting with one another, his document had an impact on how people understood multiculturalism in the 16th century.
