There is actually a theory that the Chinese discovered America before Columbus. There's a whole book about their explorations. It's pretty interesting, if not necessarily scientific.
I’m surprised you haven’t heard of this book. Or it’s sequel.
I loved the book 1421: The Year China Discovered America but I think 2000 years might be a bit of a stretch...
I think they mean this bookthat puts forward the idea that the Chinese were the first outsiders to arrive in the America's.
Its a bad book but entertaining read.
Except that it has actually happened to Japanese sailors in recent history. I don't put much stock in that one particular fairy tale or any other "rewrite history" kinda theories but I can see the occaisonal crossing happening.

25 times 25 equals 625 years.
So are you saying that Ontario was colonized by First Peoples in 1390 CE or by the Chinese in 1390 CE?

1421: The Year China Discovered America has some very incredible accounts of the ships, the journeys they took, and why we're never taught that they ever even happened.
