It has been identified by some historians that Columbus was a Millenarian and that these beliefs motivated his quest for Asia in a variety of ways [1]. Columbus wrote often about seeking gold in the diaries of his voyages and writes about acquiring the precious metal “in such quantity that the sovereigns…will undertake and prepare to go conquer the Holy Sepulcher” [2] Comparative Studies in Society and History. April, 2006. . In an account of his fourth voyage, Columbus wrote that “Jerusalem and Mount Sion must be rebuilt by Christian hands” [3]. It has also been written that “conversion of all people to the Christian faith” is a central theme in Columbus’s writings which is a central tenant of some Millenarian beliefs [4] . In a more specific identification of his motivations, Hamandi writes that the “deliverance of Jerusalem from Muslim hands” could be accomplished by “using the resources of newly discovered lands”.
