Why Launch TAE500 Now, on 2007?

AGF is launching "The Americas Encounter - 500 Years®" monumental program in 2007 to recognize the unique historic fact of the naming of America. Christopher Columbus discovered the new continent on October 12, 1492 which he baptized “The Indies” not America, and their inhabitants, “indians” not Americans. In 1507, German cartographer Martin Waldseemüller produced a World Map, on which he stamped the name “AMERICA" in an area of present-day Brazil/ Uruguay/ Paraguay/ Argentina making said Map the first known document that names America.

The Library of Congress, after nearly a century search efforts found and purchased the only known Waldseemüller’s copy and officially recognized said Map as the "America's Birth Certificate," which is on exhibit at the Library. Thus, The Library recognizes the year 1507 the Birth of America; hence 2007 is "America’s 500 Birthday” (1507 -2007); and this is why AGF is launching The Americas Encounter - 500 Years® on 2007. At http://www.loc.gov/rr/geogmap/waldexh.html you may see the Map and zoom in to read the word AMERICA in the bottom left-hand panel of 12 panels.

. For more information: http://www.loc.gov/loc/lcib/0309/maps.html. 
 

Thus, The Library of Congress has established that 2007 is "America 500^th Birthday” (1507- 2007).
