How to look at Columbus s influence on the Americas in two ways

Positive: Advanced life.

Negative: Brought killing.

Pros: Promoting the final formation of the world as a whole is conducive to strengthening exchanges and contacts in various regions of the world. Disadvantages: 1. Colonial plundering and hidden brotherhood have caused long-term backwardness in Asia, Africa and Latin America; 2 The slaughter of the Indians led to the disappearance of the Indian civilization.

In the late 70s of the 20th century, some American scientists re-studied the ancient Chinese book "Classic of Mountains and Seas" and came to an astonishing conclusion: the Chinese arrived in the Americas more than 3,000 years ago. The situation in the mountains described in the book "beyond the East China Sea" is very similar to the topography of present-day western and central North America.

The book also made many vivid and interesting descriptions of the customs and scenery of North America at that time. In addition to the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", there are also books that describe the Americas, such as "The Book of Liang", "The Records of the Han Wu Cave", and "Du Yang Miscellaneous Compilation". The Book of Liang records the ancient Chinese monk Huishen's roaming of Mexico.

In 458 AD, Chinese Buddhists traveled along the Aleutian Islands and Alaska to Mexico, Peru and other places in the Americas. In fact, in some Mexican legends, it is often mentioned that "great people from outside" were introduced to Protestantism, which is consistent with the record in the Book of Liang. Moreover, many ancient ethnic customs, codes and calendars in Mexico and other places are similar to those of ancient China.

Undoubtedly, this must have been influenced by the Chinese missionaries who went there at that time. A large number of cultural relics and stone tablets unearthed in the Americas are engraved with more than 140 Chinese characters such as "Wudang Mountain" and "Tomb of the Great Qitian People". Among the artifacts excavated in Mexico, there are also many objects carved with large turtles, human figures, and many hieroglyphs.

According to the judgment and analysis of archaeologists, this is obviously influenced by the Chinese culture at that time. In April 1979, the American archaeologist James Moriarty concluded after examining an ancient anchor that "this is an early anchor from Asia."

And this kind of anchor is the same anchor used by China at that time. He wrote: "As a result of a series of discoveries, the argument for the voyage of the Chinese across the Pacific Ocean before Columbus began to be provided.

Numerous historical sources further show that the Chinese discovered the American continent more than 2,000 years before Columbus.

A Viking named Leif Erickson arrived in the Americas nearly five hundred years before him, and I recommend watching "Bad History", which is briefly mentioned in the third episode of the first season.
