DID CHINA DISCOVER AMERICA
The majority people argue that a Chinese Muslim, Zheng discovered America more than 70 years before Columbus. It is supported by the map, entitled "General chart of the integrated world" after he did seven voyages for 30 years. The map was bought from a local dealer by a Shanghai lawyer, Liu Gang. He argues it proves that Zheng traveled to the Americas, Australia, and the Mediterranean as well.
The map contains detailed elements. It shows the two hemispheres of the world by both south and the north pole. America is described clearly, even the rivers are running from far inland is recognizable. However, it cannot prove anything since only Europeans dramatized the world this way. European travelers finished discovery like this over hundred of years, while Zheng only explored for 30 years. A lecturer of the University of British Columbia, Professor Timothy Brook stated that this map is absolute nonsense. He argues the map copied onto a European map.
