We follow the authors on a trip to the Outer Banks – “the graveyard of the Atlantic” – to follow up new local evidence.
We also explore the research of Dr. S.L. Lee of Columbus, Ohio who, although primarily sceptical of the 1421 hypothesis, was quick to let us know of his new find – a 7 c.m. diameter plain brass medal with the inscription “Authorized and awarded by Xuan De of Great Ming” … In 1430, the Ming Emperor Xuan Zong commissioned Zheng He to deliver a message to foreign nations that he had been enthroned with a new era named Xuan De. This was the whole purpose of the 7th and the last expedition for Zheng He. After finding this beautiful brass medallion in North Carolina, Dr Lee’s further investigation leads him to believe that he has found “definitive proof” that Zheng He’s fleets sailed to the USA.
