Khashkhash Ibn Saeed Ibn Aswad (Arabic خشخاش بن سعيد بن اسود) (born in Pechina, Andalusia) was a Moorish navigator of Islamic Iberia. Ibn Aswad becomes famous for supposedly discovering Ard Marjhoola around 889-890, although it is disputed whether he went as far as "South America" which is colonised in 933. On his return from his discovery, he presented plants and life to his peers and fellow travellers, claiming of more where he had been. First believed to be a Madman, only the most daring of navigators and explorers would attempt to recreate his journey.
