		Dias was a cavalier of the royal court, superintendent of the royal warehouses and sailing-master of the man-of-war "San Christovao", when King John (João) II appointed him on 10 October, 1486, as the head of an expedition which was to endeavor to sail around the southern end of Africa.
		Dias sailed first towards the mouth of the Congo, discovered the year before by Cao and Behaim, then following the African coast, he entered Walfisch Bay, and probably erected the first of his stone columns near the present Angra Pequena.
		In 1500 Dias commanded a ship in the expedition of Cabral; his vessel, however, was one of those wrecked not far from the Cape of Good Hope, which he had discovered thirteen years before.

	1421 - Evidence - The Martellus forgeries
		Bartholomew Columbus (Christopher’s brother) stole the intellectual property of the Portuguese government — being a world map.
		He traced this world map then made false additions intended to mislead Christopher Columbus backers, (the Catholic Monarchs of Spain and the bank of St George Genoa), into thinking that the route eastwards to China was virtually impossible and that the route westwards via the Americas was significantly shorter and easier.
		When making these forgeries Bartholomew Columbus was aware of the true shape of the world from Portugal to China through Albertin di Virga’s chart and the true latitude of the ‘Cape of Good Hope’ as he was present when Dias presented his findings to king John of Portugal.

		Just over 100 years after the Portuguese explorer Bartholomew Dias discovered the Cape of Good Hope, the Italian historian and traveller Filippo Pigafetta published this map of a vast continent beginning to reveal itself to European explorers.
		In contrast to many earlier maps, which represented the restricted knowledge of the classical geographers, Pigafetta's map is a celebration both of the latest discoveries and of the latest speculation.
		The finely engraved vignettes of sea monsters and sailing ships as well as the wealth of topographical detail within the interior are features which would become commonplace on later maps of the Dutch "Golden Age of Cartography".
