China claims America...

Well, something that we have all known for a while now - that the Chinese own the Americas...at least financially it seems that will be the case...is now being proved historically.

Apparently a Chinese expeditition led by a Muslim eunuch-warrior from China’s 15th-century Ming dynasty named Zheng He circumnavigated the world and discovered America nearly a century before Ferdinand Magellan and Christopher Columbus !

Here is an interesting question from the above article...
“How have professional historians for so long adopted the fairy story that Christopher Columbus discovered America, when they’ve all known Columbus had a chart — a map showing him the way to the Americas?"
Apparently Zheng's lost capital was in Newfoundland...

Another interesting fact...
The native American Indian people have substantial and statistically significant East Asian — Chinese — mixture in their genes, sometimes up to 20 per cent, 30 per cent and even 40 per cent.
Well...wonder when the Chinese will stake a claim for the land that rightfully belongs to them !

Interesting - I remember reading a feature story on Zheng De on the Nat Geo Magazine a few months ago and they did not cover this fact - or maybe I just wasn't paying attention to the footnotes!
Well I wonder what excavation parties in 8000 AD would say when they would notice that everything they dug out said "Made In China" somewhere in it! And on the seventh day - God made China!
