Link to 1421 The year china discovered America (episode 2) documentary
Documentary Description
Controversial theory with some evidence suggests China visited the new world was possible but some of this documentary is fanciful and requires more evidence. Part 2 is where we see Menzies is on crack and might as well said they went to the moon. He goes way beyond fanciful and strait to absurd fiction.
The documentary examines the mystery surrounding China's legendary Zheng He and the spectacular Ming fleet of treasure junks he commanded in the early 15th century. The special provides a history of the known journeys of Zheng He's fleet and an account of new information uncovered by Gavin Menzies, a former British submarine commander who has spent nine years trying to prove that Zheng He reached America decades before Columbus. Menzies, author of the best-selling book 1421: The Year China Discovered the World, has assembled evidence that he believes substantiates his theory.
