It is still debated today whether Paolo Emilio Taviani?s statement is correct, ?Columbus?s discovery was of greater magnitude than any other discovery or invention in human history.? Even though many may argue against this position, based on the evidence and documents provided, it is clear his discovery has had a greater magnitude of affect on the humanity than any other invention or discovery.
