Magellan: The World Isn't Flat!

Five ships. 270 men. One journey around the world — and only 18 made it back.In this episode of Lit Epic History, Mina and Lev unpack the real story of Ferdinand Magellan’s circumnavigation — a voyage of mutiny, starvation, impossible navigation, and a survival rate that feels more like a warning than an achievement. From the deadly crossing of the Pacific to Magellan’s final battle in the Philippines, we explore not just the triumph… but the cost — including the overlooked story of Enrique of Malacca, who may have circled the globe first.Because sometimes the greatest discoveries come with the highest price.
