1421 The Year China Discovered America

Description

softbound, xxiv + 552 pages.

Rowan Gavin Paton Menzies was a British submarine lieutenant-commander claiming that the Chinese sailed to America before Columbus.. Historians have rejected Menzies’ theories and assertions and categorised his work as pseudohistory.
In this book, he asserts that the fleets of Chinese Admiral Zheng He visited the Americas prior to Columbus in 1492, and that the same fleet circumnavigated the globe a century before the Magellan expedition.
