In other words, days are getting longer. Geologists believe that an Earth day was originally five to six hours long. If the moon had been less massive, thereby creating less drag on Earth, our planet wouldn't have slowed down as much. The day would be, perhaps, 15 hours long.

The geography of North Africa has been reasonably well known among Europeans since classical antiquity in Greco-Roman geography. Northwest Africa was known as either Libya or Africa, while Egypt was considered part of Asia. European exploration of Sub-Saharan Africa begins with the Age of Discovery in the 15th century, pioneered by Portugal under Henry the Navigator. The Cape of Good Hope was first reached by Bartolomeu Dias on 12 March 1488, opening the important sea route to India and the Far East, but European exploration of Africa itself remained very limited during the 16th and 17th centuries.
