## Caption

Rick Harrison breaks down one of the most bizarre geographic myths in history: when early explorers and mapmakers believed California was a massive island off the coast of North America.  He reveals how a popular Spanish novel and a navigational mistake led to centuries of confusion—and how even in the 1700s, maps kept the error simply because it was too difficult to fix. #rickharrison #pawnstars #history
