Chinese found America, called it Fu-Sang

Chinese can make vehicles that go to space?

Although Robert Gray sailed across the Columbia River bar in 1792, he wasn’t the first explorer to do so. Juan de Fuca wasn’t the first outsider to travel the straits that bear his name.

Bodega y Quadra and Meares, Vancouver and the Hudson Bay Company, all of these intrepid travelers were late to the game, very late.

The Chinese had the power to navigate the seas in remarkable sailing ships?

Let's introduce the missionary Buddhist monk Venerable Hwui Shan. In the year 458, this Chinese monastic, accompanied by four Buddhist monks from Afghanistan, sailed north to Japan. From there, they continued on up the Kamchatka Peninsula, then east to the Aleutian Islands.

On down the coast of Alaska they traveled then south along the Pacific Coast, to Baja California, Mexico.

Ven. Hwui Shan gave the name "Fu-Sang" to the entire region, as he recorded the appearance and customs of the indigenous peoples he came across as he traveled.

Soon to be the great superpower of the world

These descriptions are rich in detail and appear accurate, according to what is now known about the area at that time.

The 41-year odyssey is recorded in the court records of the Sung Dynasty in the year 499, which is when the small band of roving missionary Buddhist monks returned to China.

According to one source, “They apparently reached Fu-Sang at about the time of the fall of the Western Roman Empire, 476 AD, stayed for a period of years, and then returned to China.”

Did it happen or not? If only there were written records! Wait a minute, there are written records preserved to this day. And Edward Payson Vining wrote a thick book all about it in 1885 (D. Appleton & Co., New York), providing all the details. Indeed, the voyage of Ven. Hwui Shan and Afghan Buddhist monks came to America before Columbus.

Who knew Chinese, with all their skills in calculating and manufacturing, could reach space?

Who knew the Chinese were capable of ocean travel so long ago? If their navy could cross raging seas and explore the wilds of the earth hundreds of years before our European ancestors learned to bathe, it’s no wonder it’s been kept a secret.

It’s possible, even plausible, but it’s strange we haven’t heard more about it in Western history books. No matter, as that is not the point. There are ghosts among us, past and future wrapping around our conception of the present. More
