The discovery is probably true. The journals of Yongle have long been know to have recited the discovery of America.
Of course the support for this version of history comes from: MUSLIMS!

One more cultural incursion by Muslims and Chinese.
Egg foo yung in a Burqua!
There's also evidence that Hebrews from a couple of thousand years ago (or more) landed and explored the Americas. The Egyptians, too. If the Chinese finally made it to the Americas in 1421, then it was about damn time.
It's not really difficult to believe that they sailed east and discovered the west coast of the Americas. But it's a lot harder to accept that they not only circumnavigated the globe but went up and down the coast of every contenent, sailed up the major rivers of every continent, pushed their way in wooden boats through the ice-clogged Northwest Passage that defied European ships for centuries, circumnavigated Antarctica and realized there was land beneath the ice, and charted the furthest, most snowbound portions of Russia.
California is out in the Pacific Ocean.
Bye, bye Babs!
Followed the Vikings by 400 years.
No wonder New Orleans flooded. The Mississippi ended before it got to the Gulf.
Unfortuantely for them, they won't even get Tawain.
Oy vey
Patton and McArthur were right on...
the map is not the territory...
Why do people need to hold on to the belief that Columbus was the one and only explorer?
Notice the open seas above Siberia and Canada. Must of been global warming from those Ming Dynasty SUV's...
As everyone knows who is either a Level 15 Freemason or a past/present member of Skull and Bones, North America was first discovered by the Atlanteans 34,000 years before the founding of the Greek city states. It was these same Atlanteans who built the sphinx as a repository for their map of the world, etched in platinum, which they secreted in a vault one hundred fifty feet below. This vault can be accessed only by a matter scrambler/descrambler which is to be found within an Andean peak in Peru marked by glyphs which served the aforementioned Atlanteans as aircraft landing markers for their antigravity vehicles. All of this is known only to emeritus members of the Council on Foreign Relations, certain highly placed Scientologists, and a small group of food handlers employed in Area 51.
Well I guess they really own us now in more ways than one, hey?
I hope I'm alive to fight the Communist b@st@rds when they try to enforce their claim. I imagine I will be.
The question is, how many of them will we have to fight next to their comrades inside of America, typically known as Democrats.
It doesn’t matter if it is true or not since this guy was a Muslim then it will be claimed that the Americas are rightfully Muslim and will give them even more twisted reason to jihad.
But technically speaking if all the Chinese had to do was sail up the Asian coast, then find the Aleutians islands and follow them to North America. Actually much easier than the Similar route proposed for the Vikings, 1st Briton then to Iceland then to Greenland and on to North America. Especially if the Chinese were sailor enough to reach India and the rest of Asia this doesn’t seem like such a great feat in fact the question could be asked Why didn’t they discover North America!? Why weren’t their Chinese colonies up and down the west coast.
But really So what if they did beat Christopher by 60 years or so and so what if the Vikings beat him by 400 they didn’t do anything with their discoveries the Europeans did! You could make the case for the Vikings that they just didn’t have the resources
To exploit their find, but the Chinese! especially during this period. I don’t think so if Chinese from this period had discovered North America I think that there would have been major Chinese cites in Alaska on down to California.
Looks like Italy had its foot amputated.

Be damned difficult to sail around the world and NOT discover America. I believe that inconvenient fact had something to do with the Panama Canal.
It's possible. They had much better, bigger, and earlier ships than the Europeans till they stopped by order of the emperor.
Also to add to the list of acient explorers Hanno of Carthage probably went near the bottom of Africa and possibly ran into South Amrica.
