A soon-to-be-published Chinese map, if accepted, would mean that it is the Chinese Admiral (Zheng He), not Christopher Columbus , who found the America.

This map shows the North and South America, and is said to be a 1763 copy of another map made in 1418.

This would be before Columbus stepped foot on America on 1492.

But skeptics are checking if the map was made in 1763. Even so, they can say it is still only the mapmaker’s word that he copied if from a 1418 map.

I wonder how true this is…
