Gavin Menzies

Believe it or not, there is sweeping evidence that a Chinese fleet sailed to Italy and ignited the Renaissance in 1434. Gavin Menzies, the author of 1421: The Year China Discovered America, returns to talk about his book 1434 and an entirely new perspective on what happened that will change your understanding of history. This book is an investigative adventure that demonstrates that Chinese ideas, discoveries, and inventions formed the basis of western civilization as we know it today.
