[quote=CHYNAGYRL,228263]I saw a book recently called "1421" , theorizing that the Chinese navy, (lead by the eunuch Zheng He) in 1421, early Ming Dynasty, actually reached North America. It's already known that Zheng He led the navy to Eastern Africa by 1421, but do you think that theory holds that the Chinese discovered North America before Columbus? It's a very intriguing idea!! His theory is that the Chinese traveled as far as the east coast of Canada and U.S., New Zealand (where Chinese ship wrecks were found), and left Asian seeds and animals in those places. He does have interesting evidence. Has anyone read the book?[/quote]
