    Extractions: Send it to a friend! Born in Bideford in Devon, Speke was commissioned in the British Indian Army in 1844, where he served in the Punjab and travelled in the Himalayas and Tibet. In April 1855, as a member of Richard Burton's party attempting to explore Somaliland, he was severely wounded in an attack by the Somalis. Invalided home, Speke volunteered for the Crimea and served during the war with a regiment of Turks. In December 1856 he accepted an invitation from Burton to join an expedition to search for the reported great lakes in east central Africa and, particularly, to try and find Lake Nyassa, said to be the origin of the Nile. They left Zanzibar in June 1857 and, after exploring the East African coast for six months to find the best route inland, became the first Europeans to reach Lake Tanganyika in February 1858. During the return trip, Speke left Burton, who was unwell, and struck out northward alone. In July he found his lake, which he named in honour of Queen Victoria. Speke's conclusion about the lake as a Nile source was rejected by Burton and was disputed by many in England. However, the Royal Geographical Society, which had sponsored the expedition, honoured Speke for his exploits and commissioned a second expedition in 1860 to resolve the dispute. Speke and Captain James Grant mapped a portion of Lake Victoria. In July 1862 Speke, unaccompanied by Grant, found the Nile's exit from the lake and named it Ripon Falls. The party then tried to follow the river's course, but an outbreak of tribal warfare required them to change their route.

Modern equipment, exceptional experience, strong wills and a healthy dose of luck all likely have something to do with it. But their triumph in paddling from the highlands of Ethiopia to the sea at Alexandria without disaster may simply be another MYSTERY OF THE NILE.

Whether motivated by material gain, a desire for spiritual enlightenment or scientific knowledge, or simply out of curiosity, they have enabled us to know and understand more about the world in which we live, and the universe beyond. The History of Exploration Early ideas of the shape of the world were based on little more than myth and superstition. For all their brilliant astronomy, the Ancient Egyptians thought of the world as a flat square beneath a pyramid sky. But the Ancient Greeks realized there were clues to its real shape. They noticed that ships vanished over the horizon, and heard from travellers how, as they went north, new stars rose in the sky ahead and dropped out of sight behind. What better explanation could there be than that the Earth was round? Another clue to the planet's shape was provided by Greek philosopher Aristotle (384–322 BC), who observed that the Earth's shadow, as it fell on the

La región comenzó a entrar en la órbita británica ya desde las primeras alianzas del sultanato de Muscat con Inglaterra, confirmadas después por Seyyid Said y continuadas durante el sultanato de Zanzíbar. Además de aquel efímero pimer protectorado británico entre 1824 y 1826, las potencias europeas cultivaban sus relaciones comerciales con el sultán. Tanto Inglaterra como Francia pretendían dominar las rutas comerciales con Asia. Desde que comenzó a gestarse el proyecto del canal de Suez, que se pronosticaba como la futura ruta principal para este comercio, la localización de las fuentes del Nilo significaba el control del río y, por tanto, del canal, por lo que Uganda fue un objetivo a conseguir. El canal se abriría en 1869 bajo control francés pero en 1881 Inglaterra compraría la mayor parte de las acciones a un ciudadano egipcio. Estos intereses de naturaleza política y económica encontraban su contrapartida en otros menos tangibles. Para algunos, la exploración de Africa también tenía motivos personales, ya fueran de inspiración épica o religiosa. Pioneros sobre todos los pioneros, los primeros europeos en internarse más allá de la franja litoral fueron dos misioneros alemanes al servicio de la
