Chinese explored Australia, New Zealand and Antarctica long before the Europeans
It might be another chilly fall day for many of us, but for Dr. Sheng-wei Wang, it is anything but ordinary. In her latest publication “Chinese explored Australia, New Zealand and Antarctica long before the Europeans”, she outlines that the Ming treasure fleets sailed to Australia, New Zealand and Antarctica, which is further supported with T.C. Bell’s research of Chinese super shipwrecks being located in New Zealand. Wang continued exploring a bit deeper and found that in 1602, the map Matteo Ricci and his Chinese collaborators produced are a combination of the knowledge gained from Zheng He and the European map Terra Australis Incognita.
