bartholomew's goal was to sail around the southern tip of Africa.

-no,he already was the first explorer who sailed around the southernmost tip of Africa

-but that was still his goal before he did do it !!!

- No guys....King John II of Portugal told Dias to sail around the Southernmost tip of Africa and make contact with a guy named Prester John.

Prester is a Christian ruler in the Indies, king of Ethiopia. He was first known when Marco Polo and Vasco Da Gama confirmed the existence of Prester in Portuguese court.

Dias had many goals, this was his major one.
