Every single image you see of him was painted by a description after his death.

Not only that, Columbus never had his picture on a bubble gum card.
How can you say someone is famous who’s never had his picture on a bubble gum card?

Aktuallly, the Indians gave syphilis to the Europeans. Europeans gave the Indians smallpox and influenza.
