YMMV / Laguna Copperplate Inscription

• Older Than They Think: This document singlehandedly pushed back the known record of Philippine written history by 600 years. Prior to that, most Filipinos and even scholars of Philippine history agree that it was colonial history from the start—starting, as it did, with Magellan's discovering the Visayan islands in 1521, as written in Antonio Pigafetta's chronicles.
