As we get ready to celebrate Columbus Day on October 14th, here is some food for thought. What if it was not Christopher Columbus, but Chinese Admiral Zheng He that discovered the new world almost seven decades before the Spanish explorer set foot on the island in the Bahamas that we now call San Salvador? That, is something that amateur British historian Gavin Menzies has been asserting for years and he now has new evidence to prove it.

              We were just talking about this in Social Studies class, and we talked about that coin. I definitely believe that someone other than Columbus found America, because, as an anonymous person said once, that textbooks are often written by rich, white men, so we can't believe everything in there.
