Let's pause our series chronology and Backtrack to elaborate on a theory first mentioned in an earlier program when searching for the first non-indigenous explorers to reach the North American continent prior to Christopher Columbus' 1492 voyage. The theory involves a Chinese fleet led by Admiral Zheng He (1371–1433) arriving in North America in 1421. Laszlo Montgomery of The China History podcast shares his unique views on this fascinating theory.

The brilliance of the Renaissance laid the foundation of the modern world. Textbooks tell us that it came about as a result of a rediscovery of the ideas and ideals of classical Greece and Rome. But now bestselling historian Gavin Menzies makes the startling argument that in the year 1434, China - then the world's most technologically advanced civilization - provided the spark that set the European Renaissance ablaze. From that date onward, Europeans embraced Chinese ideas, discoveries, and inventions, all of which form the basis of Western civilization today. The New York Times bestselling author of 1421 combines a long-overdue historical reexamination with the excitement of an investigative adventure, bringing the listener aboard the remarkable Chinese fleet as it sails from China to Cairo and Florence, and then back across the world. Erudite and brilliantly reasoned, 1434 will change the way we see ourselves, our history, and our world.

¿Existen mapas donde aparecen tierras e islas que no habían sido descubiertas oficialmente? ¿Acaso navegantes como Cristóbal Colón llevaban mapas secretos que les indicaba la ruta a seguir y lo que iban a descubrir? Encontrar esas cartas náuticas serían pruebas indiscutibles de que la historia de la navegación y la cartografía en general quizá haya que reescribirla. Jorge Guerra nos introducirá en el tema, con sus notas de humor, y luego el escritor Mariano Fernández Urresti, autor de “Colón y el mapa templario”, nos hablará de cartógrafos judíos como Abraham Cresques y de caballeros de la Orden del Temple que en el siglo XIII tenían valiosa información sobre otras tierras más allá del Mar Tenebroso. ¿Quién era el piloto anónimo que en Madeira le pudo proporcionar a Colón un croquis sobre lo que descubrió? o ¿por qué el contenido de las Capitulaciones de Santa Fe nos genera tantas dudas? Por otra parte, el periodista David Zurdo nos explicará las anomalías de algunos “mapas imposibles” como uno chino grabado en piedra de 1137, el mapa vikingo de Vinlandia, el portulano de Dulcert, el de Hadji Ahmed o el que hizo Orence Finé en 1536 que dibuja no solo el continente antártico, sino que lo hace libre de hielos. Y, por supuesto, no podría faltar el mapa de Piri Reis, el de Juan de la Cosa o las curiosas teorías de Gavin Menzies o las de Isabel Álvarez de Toledo. Con razón decía el cartógrafo Gerardus Mercator que “los mapas son los ojos de la historia”.

There is growing evidence of possible visits to the Americas made by people from Asia, Europe and Oceania prior to Christopher Columbus in 1492.  Pretty much accepted by mainstream scientists and scholars are Maritime explorations by Norse peoples from Scandinavia during the late 10th century led to the Norse colonization of Greenland and Newfoundland[3] which preceded Columbus' arrival in the Americas by some 500 years. Recent genetic studies have also suggested that some eastern Polynesian populations have admixture from coastal northern South American peoples with an estimated date of contact around 1200 CE.Gunnar Thompson,  Anthropologist (1946 - 2017) has been a lifelong critic of traditional history. In the third grade, he was asked "Who discovered America." He replied: "The Indians"--thinking they were here before everybody else. The teacher said he was wrong. In grad school at the University of Wisconsin, he was again asked the same question. This time, he added: "the Egyptians, the Chinese, the Romans and the Greeks.”  He has written several watershed books and numerous articles on the subject of early voyages to the New World before Columbus. These include: Nu Sun (1989), American Discovery (1994), The Friar's Map (1996), and Lions In The New Land (1998). His discovery of the Omnibus Power Sign in 1985 offered the first conclusive proof that Asian mariners had made a significant contribution to the origins of New World civilization. In 2005, he was invited to give a presentation on Zeng He and Marco Polo at the Library of Congress. In 2006, he was invited to Beijing, China, to authenticate the 1418 Ming Map of the World. His vital discoveries have received praise from such notable scholars as the Norwegian ethnologist Thor Heyerdahl, author Gavin Menzies, and archeologist Betty Meggers of the Smithsonian Institution. He has appeared internationally on countless television documentaries and is widely acknowledged as a leading world expert on multi-ethnic New World Discovery.

這是2003年1月9日的一集節目，介紹當年出的一本新書《1421》，作者是Gavin Menzies，英國人。 這本歷史書試圖證明，中國人鄭和在1421年首先“發現”美洲，比哥倫布早70年（哥倫布1492年發現美洲大陸）。1421年是中國明仁宗的永樂年間。作者的靈感來自一次長城之旅。 在中國期間，他了解到1421年有許多重大的事情在中國發生，包括長城和故宮的完工。 當時，他就計劃寫一本1421年的中國的歷史書。 沒想到，在收集資料的過程中，對鄭和這個人物發生興趣。鄭和12嵗“淨身”，後來做到將軍。7次下西洋，進行大規模的航海旅行，對製圖、地理和航海的貢獻都非常巨大。1421年鄭和第一次航海，800條船，每條船上有上千人。兩年後，只有7條船回來。 但他的船隊曾到達過美洲，從舊金山到佛羅里達都留下了鄭和的足跡。越來越多的證據顯示，鄭和不光抵達了美洲，而且很多人還留在了美洲，在當地定居下來。這本書一出版，就引起轟動。 他的文筆很優美，又幽默。這集節目很有趣。

Greatly expanding on his blockbuster 1421, distinguished historian Gavin Menzies uncovers the complete untold history of how mankind came to the Americas—offering new revelations and a radical rethinking of the accepted historical record in Who Discovered America?The iconoclastic historian’s magnum opus, Who Discovered America? calls into question our understanding of how the American continents were settled, shedding new light on the well-known “discoveries” of European explorers, including Christopher Columbus. In Who Discovered America? he combines meticulous research and an adventurer’s spirit to reveal astounding new evidence of an ancient Asian seagoing tradition—most notably the Chinese—that dates as far back as 130,000 years ago.Menzies offers a revolutionary new alternative to the “Beringia” theory of how humans crossed a land bridge connecting Asia and North America during the last Ice Age, and provides a wealth of staggering claims, that hold fascinating and astonishing implications for the history of mankind.Lloyd Ryan has a Ph.D. from the University of Southern Mississippi (1989). He's done folklore research on the neighbor Canadian islands in Newfoundland.

He served in the Royal Navy between 1953 and 1970. His knowledge of seafaring and navigation sparked his interest in the epic voyages of Chinese admiral Zheng He. Menzies lives in London.

The deeper you dig into the claims made in 1421: The Year China Discovered America the weirder the story becomes. The author Gavin Menzies boldly asserts that the fleets of the Chinese Admiral Zheng He managed to circumnavigate the globe some 100 years before Europeans. But he is not content to stop there! By the end of his controversial book Menzies has the junks of Zheng He accomplishing feats of navigation that would not be repeated again until the late 19th century. But does his evidence stand up to scrutiny? Tune in and find out how paranormal maps, forged carbon dating tests, and prehistoric giant sloths all play a role in the story!

One of the most controversial historical theories to emerge in the last 15 years is the so-called "1421 thesis". The theory was originally formulated by the former British submarine commander Gavin Menzies. He contends that during the Ming Dynasty the Admiral Zheng He led an impressive fleet of Chinese junks on an unprecedented journey of discovery. According to Menzies this journey took them to the New World nearly 80 years before Columbus. But is there any proof to support this incredible claim? Tune in and find out how dragon thrones, giraffes masquerading as unicorns, and the Chinese Luke Skywalker all play a role in the story.

AWP-05-The Chinese and the Gold Rush Ni Hao!   The Gold Rushes of the 1850s bought the first large numbers of Chinese settlers to Australia.  Before 1850 fewer than 50 or so Chinese migrants had come to Australia, but by the early 1860s this number had risen to 40,000. Many came out as bonded labourers having to work long hours mining for gold to pay off their fare.   The Chinese have had a great influence on Australian culture and of course cuisine. On the goldfields, however, they faced discrimination and violence. Two of the most infamous cases were the Lambing Flat Riots and the Buckland Riot.   This month’s recommendation is The Rise and Fall of China by the late Professor Richard Baum. The audio book may be downloaded from: http://www.audible.com/ Also check out: Bill Richardson’s article on Gavin Menzies’ claims at: http://www.1421exposed.com/html/imaginography.html Laszlo Montgomery’s China Histroy Podcast on the remarkable life of Admiral Zheng He at: http://www.1421exposed.com/html/imaginography.html    Music by Dan-O at: http://www.danosongs.com/    

We close out our three-part series on the amazing life of Admiral Zheng He and his seven voyages. This time the CHP looks at retired submarine commander Gavin Menzies and his take on what Zheng He achieved. He makes some wild claims that have been savagely attacked by educated people around the world. If not for the fact that early Ming China was advanced enough to carry out these voyages, as Menzies said they happened, they'd be very hard to believe. The debate is far from closed on this subject.
