review 1: Bye, bye Columbus and all the others. This book explains, who, how and why the explores came. The author refers to the DNA which doesn't lie, along with the flora, fauna and customs that are similar to the Chinese. There are similar words used by many countries. This book is real eye opener that I would read again for more knowledge of the people, their culture, and the early buildings including the pyramids. This a great read for any history buff.
review 2: I expected more from a book with a premise of historical research. But basically this turned out to be a travelogue with a lot of observations. While these observations are intriguing, there is little provided to make us confident of the author's assertions about the Chinese having discovered America. In
... morefact, the constant repetition of "it is evident" followed by a major claim seemed heavy-handed and off-putting for this reader. Again, some very interesting ideas, but the style and execution means they get lost. less
