1421 the year china discovered the world

Its not particuly clear as to why this theory has any merit. Toytoy 14:33, (UTC) The Evidence section could do with expansion, as could the criticism section. Today's researchers are still unable to answer many questions because of the amounts of records. If the index was gone or not well-maintained, no one can tell you where are the sailing records now.

You can bury a man alive with these records. Cooks, gardeners, maids, eunuches and horse keepers also had their records. Each office also generated their own records. They recorded the emperor's each day from wake up to sleep. Basically, they hired an unimaginable number of officers to record almost everything happened in the palace. A foreigner may never understand the level beaucracy of the Chinese government. Eventhough I don't believe in his 'bigger, bolder, and much less traditional' theory, these Chinese sailing records, so far as I know, were very likely not destroyed. His theory does become 'bigger, bolder, and much less traditional'. In his book, he stated the Chinese fleets had not been to Europe, but one year later in his speeches, he told his readers they had been to Europe. User: Bozu 23:09, (UTC-6) I think 'bigger, bolder, and much less traditional' is not all that biased. Perhaps, rewording this passage and working a 'Pro-argument'/'Con-arugument' part into this article would keep the content fairly even. I, personally, have no thought either way on the topic, but I do feel the only non-NPOV of this article is the above passage. He also now alleges that the Chinese records of the voyages were never, in fact, destroyed, and are waiting to be found.' This paragraph seems to be a tad bit tinged with bias against his argument. For example, he now claims some of Zheng He's ships travelled as far as Spain. His new findings are usually bigger, bolder, and much less traditional than his previous ones. Throughout the article I read it as very NPOV complient, until we get to this part: 'Menzies modifies his theory from time to time based on newly discovered evidence.

I am currently re-reading 1421 after doing some research since reading in about 15 months ago. I feel that it is necessary to modify some of the wording here, as I am uncertain about the NPOV of this article.
