Originally Posted By Deogges Mom 1421 The 1421 hypothesis of Chinese contact with the Americas originates from former British Royal Navy submarine commander Gavin Menzies. In his book, 1421: The Year China Discovered The World (first published in 2002) Menzies suggests that during the Ming Dynasty era from 1421 to 1423, ships commanded by the Chinese captains Zhou Wen (Žü•·), Zhou Man (ŽüŸÞ), Yang Qing (—kÅ’c) and Hong Bao (Â^•Û), in the fleet of Emperor Zhu Di's (Žéž¦) Admiral Zheng He (“AËœa), travelled to many parts of the world. According to Menzies, their discoveries include Australia, New Zealand, the Americas (well before Christopher Columbus crossed the Atlantic), Antarctica, the northern coast of Greenland, and the Northeast Passage. The knowledge of these discoveries has been lost, Menzies argues, because the Mandarins (administrators) of the Emperor's court took a strict line on new adventures after lightning (which was considered a sign of divine anger) had burnt down the newly constructed Forbidden City. A year later, his successor (son), the Hongxi Emperor, then forbade making new voyages, and his advisors hid or destroyed all accounts of Zheng He's voyages.
