Which explorer(s) benefited the most from bartholomeu dias’ route that sailed around the cape of good hope? dias, himself, because he found new trade routes to asia and made a fortunespanish explorers, because they realized there were several routes to reach asiavasco da gama, because he used the route around the cape of good hope and reached indiaking manual i, because he sponsored columbus’ travels and established trade with asiacatholic missionaries, because they were able to go around africa to spread christianity?

almost nothing is known of dias’s early life. his supposed descent from one of prince  henry the navigator’s pilots is unproved, and his rank was the comparatively modest one of squire of the royal household.

in 1474 king  afonso v  entrusted his son, prince john (later  john ii), with the supervision of  portugal’s trade with  guinea  and the exploration of the western coast of  africa. john sought to close the area to foreign shipping and after his accession in 1481 ordered new voyages of discovery to  ascertain  the southern limit of the african continent. the navigators were given stone pillars (padrões) to stake the claims of the portuguese crown. thus, one of them,  diogo cão, reached the congo and sailed down the coast of angola to cape santa maria at 13°26′ s, where he planted one of john’s markers. cão was ennobled and rewarded and sailed again: that time he left a marker at 15°40′ s and another at cape cross, continuing to 22°10′ s. royal hopes that he would reach the indian ocean were disappointed, and nothing more is heard of cão. john ii entrusted command of a new expedition to dias. in 1486 rumour arose of a great ruler, the ogané, far to the east, who was identified with the legendary christian ruler  prester john. john ii then sent  pêro da covilhã  and one afonso paiva overland to locate india and abyssinia and ordered dias to find the southern limit of africa.

ok sorry the answer is a. by their religion

ngai (engai, enkai, mweai, mwiai) is the monolithic supreme god in the spirituality of the kamba and kikuyu of kenya.ngai is creator of the universe and all in it. the kikuyu worshiped ngai facing the mt. kirinyaga (mount kenya) while prayers and goat sacrificial rituals were performed under the sacred mugumo tree (a fig tree species). ngai often was referred to as "mwene nyaga" meaning (the owner of the mountain).

it means that maasai people think that mount kenya is something to be worshipped along with god.when cattle or children cause problems,maasai elders just warn them that children must mend their bad ways or their god might punish them.this serves as law and order tool to maintain peace among maasai tribe.the maasai are an indigenous ethnic group in africa of semi-nomadic people settled in kenya and northern tanzania. due to their distinct traditions, customs and dress and their residence near the many national game parks of east africa, the maasai are among the foremost african ethnic groups and are known internationally because of their links to the national parks and reserves.

traditional maasai people's lifestyle concentrates on their cattle which make up the primary source of food. amongst the maasai and several other african ethnic groups, the measure of a man's wealth is in terms of children and cattle. so the more the better.
