Synopsis

""An Inglorious Columbus"" is a book that challenges the traditional narrative of Christopher Columbus being the first person to discover America. Written by Edward P. Vining, the book presents evidence that suggests that a party of Buddhist monks from Afghanistan, led by Hwui Shan, actually discovered America in the fifth century AD, long before Columbus. The book details the journey of Hwui Shan and his party, who allegedly sailed across the Pacific Ocean and landed in what is now California. Vining presents various pieces of evidence to support his theory, including Chinese records, archaeological findings, and linguistic similarities between Native American languages and ancient languages from Asia. The book is a thought-provoking read that challenges conventional beliefs about the discovery of America and offers an alternative perspective on the continent's early history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
