According to this theory, Zhou Man’s fleet went on a 4 month journey somewhere far in the Pacific, if the ship let the currents take steer its course, a journey to North America, and along its coast would be entirely possible. Specifically, author one refers to Zhou Man’s fleet which fits a potential timetable for a transpacific journey. These ships were cutting edge, far more advanced than those of their European counterparts, even many years later they were undoubtedly superior to that Columbus’ ships. He’s ships travelled great treks around the Pacific, trading and exploring with different cultures, and exposing a previously isolated China to the globe. The author references the great voyages of famed Chinese explorer Zheng He. Menzies showed his clear support for the theory that the Chinese landed in the New World prior to the more well known discovery by Christopher Columbus in 1492, the same scenario covered in his book. The author of the first passage I studied is Gavin Menzies, author of the book 1421: The Year China Discovered America.
