"They couldn't have built such ships on their own back then. They HAD to have some help from somewhere. These were definitely extraterrestrial ships!"
Kamikaze, ping.
Woah... I live about 20 miles from the place where this was found, and I never heard about it. Looks like I should have been watching local news instead of following the protester antics on the Internet :)
Boy are they lucky those ships never made it there! There would be no sushi today only Mongolia goat barbeque :-D

Several years ago, the History Channel (I think it was) aired a documentary on this doomed fleet and intimated the enslaved shipbuilders may have deliberately sabotaged the ships by employing substandard materials and shipbuilding techniques, knowing full-well they would come apart in heavy seas. Revenge is a dish best served cold.
Incidentally, those fleets were enormous. Very impressive. The second one had over a thousand ships in it, iirc. Untold thousands drowned. Really knocked the wind out of the Mongols.
