Answer:

There is a lot of controversy as to whether these explorers should be called heroes due to some of their actions towards the indigenous people in the regions they supposedly "discovered". Christopher Columbus was responsible for the ra-pe, murder, enslavement of thousands of natives on the island of Hispaniola. Many died from smallpox spread to them by the crew.

They sold little girls and forced the natives to mine for gold or die. Over 50k committed mass sui-cide to avoid being killed or enslaved by the Spaniards.

Hispanola had approximately 300k inhabitants when he landed there. Within two years 100k were dead, in the next 50 years the number was down to 300. Each of these men has their own stories of treatment towards the people in the lands they explored. That is why there is question as to whether they should be considered heroes. The question just wants your opinion on the subject.

What significance did the city of makkah have to early muslims
True [87]


As the birthplace of Muhammad and the site of Muhammad's first revelation of the Quran(specifically, a cave 3 km (2 mi) from Mecca),Mecca is regarded as the holiest city in the religionof Islamand a pilgrimage to it known as the Hajjis obligatory for all able Muslims. Mecca is home to the Kaaba, by majority description Islam's holiest site, as well as being the direction of Muslim prayer. Mecca was long ruled by Muhammad's descendants, the sharifs, acting either as independent rulers or as vassals to larger polities. It was conquered by Ibn Saud in 1925. In its modern period, Mecca has seen tremendous expansion in size and infrastructure, home to structures such as the Abraj Al Bait, also known as the Makkah Royal Clock Tower Hotel, the world's fourth tallest building and the building with the third largest amount of floor area. During this expansion, Mecca has lost some historical structures and archaeological sites, such as the Ajyad Fortress.

Today, more than 15 million Muslims visit Mecca annually, including several million during the few days of the Hajj.As a result, Mecca has become one of the most cosmopolitan cities in the Muslim world,

even though non-Muslims are prohibited from entering the city.
