The evidence is overwhelming, and encompasses both physical entities (such as shipwrecks of Chinese junks in America, Australasia and Indonesia) and examples such as the carved stones of Africa, the remains of Chinese peoples in South America, and artefacts scattered all over the world, inscribed with Chinese characters, in Chinese styles, and some successfully dated back to before the arrival of the Europeans. There also exists more circumstantial evidence such as the linguistic, ceremonial and spiritual similarities between the Chinese culture and those of other parts of the world in the fifteenth century. The linguistic similarities found between place names in Peru and Chile are heavily supportive of the notion that the Chinese exerted a huge influence there, in pre-Columbian times. Aha! This accounts for Asian dogs in Peru from early times. phoebe ******************************* www.phoebewray.net pwray@...
