= = = = =Christopher Columbus's Treasure!!!= I found my treasure chest while making a shelter on an island! I got stranded on a deserted island and needed a place to stay. So I went into the main land of the island and looked for a good place for a shelter. I found a place and started collecting thing I need to make the shelter While I was looking for some wood and leaves, I saw a big box-like thing half way in the ground. I went over and dug it up and what do you know! It was a treasure chest!!! Inside there was a journel. The [|journel] is quite long. Then I went to the bottom of the journel to see whose journal it was and i saw it was Christopher Columbus's!!! I got this out of Christopher Columbus's Journel: //Sunday, 21 October. At 10 o'clock, we arrived at a cape of the island, and anchored, the other vessels in company.//

This picture of Christopher Columbus posed for this picture.

I kept digging around in the chest to find more Information that were still in one piece finally i find a letter and it said, [|LETTER TO KING AND QUEEN 1494]. This was amazing! Everyone wished they could find something like this! I didnt know what to do with these things! After I found the two resources, i went and gathered the rest of the things i need for the shelter. After i got back I made the shelter i went to bed after a long day, brfore i fell asleep i decided to read the letter to the queen and king. The letter was telling them how nice the land was that he landed on.

//In the first place, as regards the Island of Espanola: Inasmuch as the number of colonists who desire to go thither amounts to two thousand, owing to the land being safer and better for farming and trading, and because it will serve as a place to which they can return and from which they can carry on trade with the neighboring islands//.

The next day I decided to go check the treasure chest again to see if i missed anything. There was a bunch of loose pieces ok paper in there and it was hard to find something that was easy enough to read. Also it made it harder that they were written in Spanish. After about a hour i found another letter! On the top it said, [|Letter to Lord Randolph, March 14 1493], on it.

//KNOWING that it will afford you pleasure to learn that I have brought my undertaking to a successful termination, I have decided upon writing you this letter to acquaint you with all the events which have occurred in my voyage, and the discoveries which have resulted from it.//

This map is a map from back when Christopher Columbus was alive!

It was about 5 hours later when I was done reading the letter and I wanted to kno if there was at least one more. So I search through it again just to make sure i didnt miss anything. After looking for like 45minutes, I finally find one thing. It was another one of [|Columbus's Letters]. I took a little time to skim read through the letter and something caught my eye. It said,

//As soon as we had arrived at that island which I have just now said was called Juana, I proceeded along its coast towards the west for some distance; I found it so large and without perceptible end, that I believed it to be not an island, but the continental country of Cathay; seeing, however, no towns or cities situated on the sea-coast, but only some villages and rude farms, with whose inhabitants I was unable to converse, because as soon as they saw us they took flight//
