Book Review   by:SacerdotisaTomoyo     Original Author: Henriette Mertz

This abstract was translated from Dioses Del Lejano Este
 
The map of his journey can be drawed now. This evidence will totaly change our vision of the antique history.

For those who enjoy of the new discoveries of the History, should read this book, Before than Color or the vikings arrived, a budist monk called Hwui Shan visited America in the V Century d.C. and later he return home in China. In spite of the different purges and burnt of books in the history of China, the information about this monk is still available. During his journeys he was capable of see the Big Canon. After he informed the emperor about this wonder of the terrestrial geography, the subject became in object of some chinese poem which was called the "Luminous Big Canon".

The world also has ignored the ancient chinese "Shan Hai King" a file about Geography in 32 volumes which are remount to 2300 a.C.Only few have translated in the two last centuries a part of the 18 volumes of the remain of the file. Once that the file is translated to english it was titled as "The Classic of the Mountains and the Seas". When the traduction is studied with american maps, Mertz demonstrate that this exemplar describe in details 1000 miles or 1609 kilometers, of the Rockies Mountains. The document give the right positions of the mountains respect to others, describe the flore,fauna,geography and mineralogy of the journey.

Many chineses believe that this antique geographic file was fake due to the fact that anything in China match with the description. Nevertheless, part of the description explain that these land is beyond of the big oriental sea. Since China, the big oriental sea must be the Pacific Ocean. Any land beyond that must be the american continent. If the document were fake then found few coincidence points between the text and the american geography would be normal, but 1000 miles of concordance recognizable between the antique chinese text and the detailed maps of America would be imposible. Only can conclude that the file is legitimate and the chinese had been in America drawing the map of a big parte of the continent more than 4000 years ago.

It´s deduce from the document that the chineses weren´t interested in the conquist of the tribes of the american indians, just in the commerce with them of any valued thing. Their cartographic project allow them to keep a following of what tribes live in zones where could be valious products. By example, they registered places where gold or jade had been found.

The knowledge of this contact between Orient and Occident can help to our comprenhension of the american arqueology and antropology when cultural features or objects are discovered, shared by the people who live in Asia and America. Demonstrate that the journeys by the world were possible many before the studious have been ready to admit in the past.
