An adventurous project that could change world history

A real-life adventure that could change the history of the world. That's what the "Retracing Chinese visits to America pre-Columbus" has set out to, which recently started.

Basically, the ambition is to row from China to America, and thus sail in the historical wake of Chinese history.

"Did the Chinese, like the Vikings, visit America pre-Columbus? Chinese history books suggest this. If academic research works out, I plan to build a replica of an ancient Chinese vessel and sail it across the Pacific Ocean to further prove the hypothesis."
