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 €œdiscoveries€ 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 €œBeringia€ 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.
