One could say that yes‚ the world was never the same again and another could say that no‚ this discovery did nothing to change the world. I believe that when Christopher Columbus discovered the New World‚ it did in fact change the world in terms of population‚ new food to trade‚ and religion.   When Christopher Columbus came

Also‚ the birth of Jesus probably didn’t happen in the year 1AD but slightly earlier‚ somewhere between 2BC and 7BC (there isn’t a 0AD - the years go from 1BC to 1AD!). The first recorded date of Christmas being celebrated on December 25th was in 336AD
