Zheng He

Today is November,9 1440 and today I'm talking about Zheng he .Zheng He sailed to America in 1412, around 80 years before Comlumbus reached America. Zheng He visited over 30 countries in his voyages.He was born 1371 and died 1435.His ship was more then twice the ship as Columbuse's ship.



He embarked from China with a huge fleet of ships and journeyed as far west as Africa through what the Chinese called the Western seas in 1433 sixty years before Columbus sailed to America and Vasco de Gama sailed around Africa to get to Asia. He also explored India, Indonesia, Southeast Asia, and Arabia with about 75 times as many ships and men as Columbus took with him on his trans-Atlantic journey.
