The roots of exploration were

God, Glory and Gold. Government
rulers sent explorers to find
riches like land, spices, silks, and
other resources that would make
their country rich and important.
They also wanted to spread their
religion and make their ruler
powerful. Both the rulers and the
explorers liked the personal glory
they received when they were
successful. Portugal, Spain, Italy,
and England were all especially
involved in exploration. Our web
site has lots of information on
pirates, navigators, explorers and
more. You can learn and play
games. If you came here to learn
and have fun, you just hit the
jackpot! You can even make your
own poems! Our web site has cool
pictures and other fun stuff. We
hope you will enjoy our web site.
