Why are you trying to educate me? Probably out of the goodness of your heart. I know you are doing a great job teaching me English.
The fact that these people thought the world was flat bolsters my argument even more.

This article is over 10 years old and sadly there is little evidence that Zhang He sailed to America. I don't doubt that he did myself, he certainly had the ships and the know how, but he likely sailed and moved on without leaving behind a "paper trail".
