A: Personally, I really do believe that Zheng He's fleet made it to America before Columbus, based on Menzie's argument. I found his argument about maps to be the most interesting. He stated that the Chinese and Italians both had the exact same maps, but this is because the Italians got there maps from the Chinese in the first place. He also states that in China, Confucian thinkers had their documents destroyed and this would be how Italy got their hands on such maps. Pretty solid argument if you ask me!
