Descrição:

In 1488, Portuguese explorer Bartholomeu Dias made a historic voyage by becoming the first European to round the Cape of Good Hope at the southern tip of Africa. This achievement was significant because it established a sea route from Europe to the Indian Ocean, paving the way for future expeditions to Asia. Dias's journey demonstrated the possibility of reaching the rich markets of India and the Far East by sea, which had been a long-sought goal for European explorers. His successful navigation around the Cape marked a turning point in global trade and exploration.
