Fire? Writing? Textiles?
There's a case to be made its the most important discovery of his era, but then, we do tend to be Eurocentric here and the Chinese were at the climax of a centuries long golden age when Colombus was doing his thing in America.

- huherto 10y agoThere is a reason we are Eurocentric. That is precisely because Europeans discovered America. It changed their mindset. They started looking outwards while the Chinese kept looking inwards. It launched an era of exploration. Fire, writing and textiles are prehistoric discoveries/inventions.
