UNIT 7. DID THE CHINESE DISCOVER AMERICA?

                                     
                  My opinion about the discovery of America

              To talk about this topic (Did the chinese discover America?) is not easy because many people say one thing about and other say anotger one and also because the discovery of America has for times been credited to Christopher Columbus, but I read in a histoy book that reserachers have discoverd ancicient scrips that suggest Chinese explorers may have discovered America belong before Europeans arrived here.

             Also it says that they have found pictograms etched into the rocks around the country that appear to belong of an ancient Chinese script. They say could have been inscribed there alongside the carvings of Native Americans by Chinese explors thousands of years ago.  

               My opinion about this topic is that before talking about it we have to study careful the books which have information of who discovered it. But sometimes I think that because of the things that Chinese wrote (the ancient scrip) maybe it is true that Chinese discovered America before Columbus.
