In 1421, Gavin Menzies presents a historical investigation that challenges our traditional understanding of world exploration. The book reveals evidence that the largest Chinese fleet ever seen set sail in 1421 with the mission of exploring the world and collecting tributes. Menzies argues that the Chinese reached America 70 years before Columbus and circumnavigated the globe a century before Magellan, colonizing America and transplanting key economic crops. This work proposes a revision of the history of exploration, suggesting that the knowledge accepted for centuries should be reconsidered in light of these revelations.
Rowan Gavin Paton Menzies was a British submarine lieutenant-commander who authored books claiming that the Chinese sailed to America before Columbus. Historians have rejected Menzies' theories and assertions and have categorised his work as pseudohistory.
