"History's Greatest Voyages of Exploration" by Vejas Gabriel Liulevicius

book review by Riley Burnham 5/17/2023

hmmm... grain of salt(!)

that seems to be the necessity of books like these, as they appear to include 'mythology' as well as "real tales," lol

again, tho, w/ chapters on Space Exploration, it's immediately evident that either the author is lying blatantly or completely missing the more pressing issue of, erm, astronaut hoaxes & our beloved flat Earth

i appreciated tidbits of insight throughout, although it's hard to believe tales like deep-sea dives w/ leaking [& magically stopping] windows & explosions w/ only chocolate bars to eat

tales of polar exploration are notoriously questionable, ESPECIALLY when being claimed as South Pole [anything other than a ring of ice i'm more or less calling BS]

guess i enjoyed it, hehe
