Revisemos algunos de los “huecos de la historia”

Abstract

This article has several objectives: 1) To find the reasons that historians could have when not interested in our human origins, as if this had nothing to do with history; 2) Understand the reasons that Christopher Columbus and his companions had for hiding the true story of their discovery of America and the inexplicable historical gaps that they left in relation to Venezuela, when it was the first American coast they found; and, 3) The inability they showed to understand the cultural differences and the injustice they had in front of the Caribs, by showing them as savages and cannibals, concealing that they were the most intrepid sailors and the greatest defenders of the American continent, thus building a sad reputation left to his descendants Venezuelans and Guyanese. It is his memory that we wish to recover here, after five hundred years.
