<h3>📖 Reading Time</h3>
<div class="reading-box">
<p>About 500 years ago, people in Europe wanted spices, silk, and gold from faraway lands. Traveling over land took years and was dangerous. So brave sailors asked: could we get there by sea?</p>
<p>This began the <strong>Age of Exploration</strong>. Explorers sailed in wooden ships across huge oceans, with no maps of where they were going! Countries like Portugal and Spain sent many <strong>voyages</strong> — that means long journeys by sea.</p>
<p>Some explorers found new sea routes. Some found lands they never knew existed — lands where millions of people already lived. The world was about to change forever. All aboard — this week we sail with them!</p>
