Famous Explorers Game 2000

Hunt For Famous Explorers Game

We have hunted Country Capitals and Landmarks around the world. Now, the challenge is:

WHO?? are the people that traveled into unknown places and discovered some of the landmarks or founded the cities that became capitals? Some of these explorers may have blazed the way for others that came later and founded the cities or built the landmarks.
