Magellan's journey from Spain to the Philippines

Maps and logs of the proposed passage to the Pacific Ocean, which Magellan recovered from the secret archives in Lisbon, were presented to the Portuguese astronomer Rui Faleiro. It is generally accepted that scientists claim that Fernand Magellan sailed around the world and is believed to be the first man on Earth to have circumnavigated the globe by ship. The fact that he was killed on the island of Mactan. Archival materials confirm that Magellan was not in the eastern islands during the Indian campaign beyond the city of Malacca. So he can't be considered the first navigator to circumnavigate the globe. Because Magellan was killed on Mactan Island, an island far east of Malacca. Del Cano became captain of the Victoria, completing the circumnavigation of the globe begun by Magellan. This event is officially confirmed by all historical documents. His starting point was considered to be San Lucar de Barrameda, and the return point is also considered to be that same city.When one has to summarize about the first navigators who circumnavigated the globe, the truth tells a very different story. The truth is that Magellan is not considered the first man to circumnavigate the globe.
