In her book, Gods from the Far East: How the Chinese discovered America, Henriette Mertz also lays out this theory. She contended that there were regular tours from China to this continent, that caches of sandals had been planted for the tourists to re-shoe on their journeys to the Grand Canyon and other places.

One of the bases for her theories was that written stores--previously considered "wonder stories," had specific distances recorded in li's [Chinese distance measurements] that, she said, could not place these occupancies in China.

The title of her book apparently capitalized on the titles of Von Daniken's book, Chariot of the Gods. Was an interesting theory at the time.
