Did you know that video is real? Check this part of my history book:
In 1519, Ferdinand Magellan (muh-JEHL-uhn), a Portuguese navigator, set out with a Spanish fleet to sail down the east coast of South America. After sailing around the southern tip of the continent, Magellan continued into the Pacific even though his ships were dangerously low on food and fresh water.
Magellan's fleet sailed across the Pacific Ocean. In the Philippine Islands, Magellan was killed in a battle with native peoples. Down to three ships, the expedition continued sailing west into Indian Ocean. In 1522 the voyage's only remaining ship returned to Spain. Only 18 members of Magellan's original crew survived. These sailors were the first people to circumnavigate, or go all the way around, the globe. Their entire journey was some 40,000 miles long.
