I know it is in New England based on the documentary I saw on PBS a while back - Rhode Island?-can't remember. Also the guy's website has maps where historical evidence points to New England land foall for the Chinese fleet.
"Secondly, when the explorers got to the Americas, they found Chinese people there. "
I have never heard this. Any idea what he's talking about? And, where did they go?
Part VI Annexes - Evidence of Chinese Fleets visit to specific places all round the world
Annex 29 - Chinese Settlements in New England: Boston & Rhode Island
Please note - I am not endorsing or defending the evidence - but I will be willing to play devil's advocate in exploring issue (as long as the opposite side understands I am taking on this as a mental exercise only).
last Chinese guy:
"He Long Gone"
arf arf. really.
Part III - Evidence of the Voyages of Zheng He Fleets:

Chinese or Asiatic People found by the First European Explorers
http://www.1421.tv/pages/evidence/content.asp?EvidenceID=26
Local peoples descriptions of Chinese or Asiatic peoples who settled amongst them before Europeans arrived and descriptions of their ancestry

Linguistics and Languages common to the New World and China

Not Levi - Levy....
Thanks, Destro, I'll take a look.
(Ahem) You have to sent the money and designate it as a Heritage Site before it's location can be revealed.
More of this.
Would Chinese have built a stone harbor at Boston? Doesn't seem like there would have been time. A row of junks is interesting, and that they would have been deliberately destroyed puts a crimp in the description of the New World as a wilderness. Perhaps they had to remove evidence of prior contact with civilization in order to assert the new European property claims.
I already gave a penny to save Old Ironsides. Apparently the Chinese city is not far from there. A couple blocks from Fenway Park.
Ping!
Please FREEPMAIL me if you want on, off, or alter the "Gods, Graves, Glyphs" PING list --
Archaeology/Anthropology/Ancient Cultures/Artifacts/Antiquities, etc.
The GGG Digest -- Gods, Graves, Glyphs (alpha order)
Mystery Hill, which is a megalithic site, yielded radiocarbon dates from centuries BC. Despite that (and the fact that it obviously wasn't built for any old Yankee purpose, sprawling all over the hilltop as it does) one still hears talk about how it was built as a root cellar, or a foundation for some house, for an 18th c family known to have lived at the site.
