Another book of interest to us this month is Charlotte Harris Rees' new work,
Secret Maps of the Ancient World.
We are pleased to support Charlotte on her new project. She has long been a friend of ours and her father's hard work has now been proudly followed on by his daughter.
Secret Maps of the Ancient World was just recently released. Below are some reviews:
Secret Maps of the Ancient World is a spell-binding book which presents a compelling case for ancient Chinese voyagers coming to the Americas. Reading the book, I felt like I had fallen into the archives for the movie, "National Treasure" -- only this time, it's real!!
Diana Waring, Author of History curriculum and international speaker
"This scholarly and yet easy to read book is a major contribution to the early history of the Americas and the relations to China and other parts of Asia. There is much evidence that Chinese were in America hundreds if not thousands of years before Columbus. Based on the rare Asian maps collection of her late father, Dr. Hendon M. Harris, the author has painstakingly researched, including using the resources of the Library of Congress, to present her findings that Chinese had indeed travelled by sea to the Americas since 2000 BC."
Dr. Hwa-Wei Lee, Former Chief, Asian Division, Library of Congress (Retired); Dean Emeritus, Ohio University Libraries
Gavin says: "
Secret Maps of the Ancient World is the definitive reference book on Chinese voyages to America over the past 4000 years. It is a tremendous intellectual achievement. I hope that ten years from now it will be in every American school. The team gives our warmest congratulations."
