About
This website is a legacy site for Gavin Menzies. It was set up in 2002 and for 18 years served as a focal point for ongoing research into pre-Columbian exploration of the world. The 1421 research team was set up to receive and disseminate all information gathered via this website. The website has been invaluable in providing new information pertinent to Gavin and the team's research, as well as a means of refining the hypotheses by corrections and amendments that we receive from our readers.
