Bartholomew Dias - Origins of Modernity
Cape of good hope - 1487
In the imaginary of man at that time the cape(while it was a reworking of the old idea of a narrows)represents the access
to a new maritime space, it represents the passing of difficulties, it represents the entry into a new world.It is interesting to note that allthis is part of the imaginary of Bartholomew Dias's adventure.

Yes an Amazing Navigator! But before him we should also give a very important credit to Gil Eanes,who passed the first Big Difficulty - Cape Bojador.And lead the way to Diogo Cão,Bartolomeu Dias,Vasco Da Gama,Pedro Alvares Cabral,Fernão de Magalhães...Portugal The Country of Discoverers ;)
