It's funny that you never learn about this shit until you leave school. You get this impression that Europeans discovered the world and led innovations in all sorts of areas of study and were geniuses and civilized all the barbarous parts of the world.
No one ever talks about all the other civilizations like the Arabs inventing algebra or the Chinese marine dominance. Pitiful. I'm sure most kids in high school would tell you that Europeans were the first people to discover other lands by sea.
There are some records, not much, and few relics left behind from the visits by the Chinese fleets in Singapore. When the British fleets arrived in Singapore, there was still a Dragon's Teeth monument relic set up by the Chinese fleets. The British Navy demolished it to impose an absolute British presence on the island.
I recommend people read Gavin Menzie's best selling books. The first is "1421: The Year that the Chinese Discovered America" , the second is "1434: The Year a Magnificent Chinese Fleet Sailed to Italy and Ignited the Renaissance". Western history is too eurocentric. It needs to be rewritten. Glen Beck points to these 2 books on his show. Search for: Glenn Beck Show (January 14, 2011): China's Rise, America's Fall?
He was a sixth-generation descendant of Sayyid Ajjal Shams al-Din Omar, a famous Khwarezmian Yuan governor of Yunnan Province, originally from Bukhara in modern day Uzbekistan. The family name "Ma" came from Shams al-Din's fifth son Masuh (Mansour). Both his father, Mir Tekin, and grandfather, Charameddin, had made the pilgrimage to Mecca, and their travels contributed to the young boy's education.[citation needed]
i agree it is a great book. its maybe about time we gave credit where its due in western history books its embarasing what is left out of our history taught at school
that will never happen, america will always do whatever they can to make themselves look like the best, like the one who discover everything and the one who invented everything.
true ming has better rulers with man ideas and invention.ching are manchu of one of the ethnic tribe use to call barbariian by the chinese, they can't see the vision of modernizing, i'm sure if ming weren't

He was a eunuch. From what I read, it was sort of a complicated story of why but then I'm still trying to learn about this man.
