Asiatic Echoes: The Identification of Ancient Chinese Pictograms in pre-Columbian North American Rock Writing: 3rd edition

What an interesting book on rock inscription.

If you still think Columbus discovered the Americas, this book is just for you. Long before Columbus, Asiatic people not only came to America but alsoleft their writings in the form of Oracle bone on the rocks of South Western part of America.This book will give you a whole new perspective on your World View.Highly recommended.

This book does a great job of explaining the key concept. China did explore the North American and the American Southwest much earlier than Viking, Irish and later Europeans visited. So far, the evidence has been found in petroglyphs throughout the Southwestern USA. Knowing this now, it's entirely possible that archeologists can use the knowledge in this book to discover more sites in the Americas or other parts of the world. There is plenty of "science" to back up the claims, presented in page after page of tables and drawing of each discussed petroglyph.What's most fascinating is the influence these travelers must have had on local people in the Southwest. There's no doubt the natives would have been influenced by the Chinese writing, and evidence is presented in this book to suggest this happened.What's still missing? Key physical evidence like the Viking coins found at L'ance aux Meadows in Newfoundland. It's possible Chinese artifacts like this (coins, jade carvings, etc) are sitting in a museum basement, neglected because no one thought it was possible the Chinese visited. The Chinese would have given gifts, there is no doubt.Highly recommended.

Fascinating research and further confirmation of early Chinese in North America.Of great assistance to my parallel research which has confirmed the Chinese presence in New Zealand c from c 1,500BC to 1430AD,. and also the Chinese assisting the Romans in Britain. Roman occupation 45AD - 410AD). .ROMANS IN THE NORTH.
