    How can a Eunuch discover america when he can't even leave the forbidden city. The map is probably a knockoff like most stuff made in china

    GOOO Vikings!
    There are also rumors that Egyptians and other African civilizations might have approached South American. This is due to findings of similar tools from both sides made in ancient times.

    Why?
    LoL. Not to be mean but even if he did find North America before Columbus he didn't bring thousands of people over to occupy the area. He'll be like the Vikings in which people will continue not to know about this.

    I don't think he was an Eunuch since he was an admiral. The reason why they didn't further explore the new world was because his opposition complained to the emperor that it was too costly and there were some internal strife going on in China. Here's an interesting fact, Columbus's ships on average were 50ft. Zheng's were 400ft!

    This is very interesting. How come this is unheard of until recently? I wonder what would have happened if the Chinese colonized the Maericas instead of the Europeans?
