Opis

NEWLY REVISED & UPDATED This, the 3rd edition of Asiatic Echoes, includes the study's highly significant Supplemental Reports #1  PLUS images of 54 previously unpublished ancient Chinese pictogram-glyph writings. For centuries, researchers have been debating if, in pre-Columbian times, meaningful exchanges between the indigenous peoples of Asia and the Americas might have taken place. Many sinologists have written positively on this topic, yet, so far, no conclusive proof has been put forth establishing such trans-Pacific contact as a historical event. This book introduces previously unrecognized ancient written evidence that in pre-Columbian times, multiple intellectual exchanges took place between Chinese and North American populations. Using the novel integration of the legal construct of substantial similarity with the comparative statistical tool of Jaccard's Index of Similarity, the Chinese origin of 107 North American petroglyphs and pictographs is established. Here is demonstrable epigraphic proof that Chinese explorers not only reached the Americas long before the first European voyagers, but that they interacted positively with Native North American people on multiple occasions over an extended period of time, approximately 2,500 YBP.
