I'm John Batchwood, Professor Matthew Lockwood. His new book is Explores and, a new history. We've dealt with the classic period. Doubt, doubt, doubt, fragments, archaeology. And here we are. Still looking for some of the details in Marco Polo's adventures. Columbus, however, discovers America. However, we've taught that. There's a lot to say about Columbus's brutality and greed.

However, what I find in Matthew's book is a new point of view.

Matthew, who are the Taino ambassadors, and why do they want to go to Europe?

I mean, I think they are, the Taino are indigenous peoples from the Caribbean.

They are the people who greet Columbus when he arrives.

And I think one of the really interesting things about the idea of discovery is that it is very much in the eye of the beholder.

It's all about perspective. So Columbus is thought of

discovering the America in 1492 when he arrives in the Bahamas. But for the Tino, this is a discovery of

something new as well. This moment is a moment of discovery from their perspective, too. They are discovering

new worlds and new peoples as well.

And so I wanted to write this familiar story from their perspective as much as is possible to recover that perspective.

And they are some of the first to not only to meet and greet a person from Eurasia, but to travel to Europe as well.

And so just as Columbus discovers the Americas in 1492, these Taino ambassadors also discover Europe for their own people.
