Great Explorers
They set out into the unknown. Few explorers knew the path they had to take. They had a goal: They wanted to conquer land, they wanted gold, spices and power. Later it was a matter of knowledge. As different as their goals were, something united them: Their courage, their determination and perseverance. Also you can become a great explorer. Choose your avatar, e.g. Marco Polo, [3] Kepler,[4] Einstein, [5] Da Vinci, [6] Michelangelo [7]... and experience a fascinating journey of discovery. Sailing the knowledge ocean - the Internet.
