About this product

Product Information

At the height of the Ming Dynasty, China's most celebrated mariner, Admiral Zheng He sailed the world's largest wooden armada, nearly 300 ships, in an epic voyage of discovery and trade. 600 years later, in a small Chinese store, a copy of a 1418 map delicately drawn on bamboo paper is discovered detailing Hes epic voyages and the lands his expedition circumnavigated. Lands that include the Americas, Australia and Antarctica. Three continents that history records were not discovered until many years later. Did He beat Columbus to America by 71 years? 1421: The Year China Discovered The World? is a fascinating and compelling documentary which is currently re-writing history. With in-depth investigations that delve deep into historical archives from around the globe, this extraordinary film re-traces the journeys of Zheng He alongside a wealth of evidence and contemporary historical accounts presented by modern scholars while examining bestselling author and historian Gavin Menzies' remarkable evidence which sets out to prove that the Chinese discovered America long before Columbus. Part forensic investigation and part historical mystery 1421 is a fascinating, gripping and dramatic journey through a modern day controversy and into a brave new world. Exclusive DVD features include the dramatic and shocking results of the recent carbon dating carried out on the newly discovered map. A world wide embargo restricts these results from being made public until March 22nd 2006.
