	1421 - Evidence - Albertin di Virga's map and Zheng He's 1418 map
		The enormous importance of di Virga’s map is that it shows the world from the NW Atlantic to Australia, from Siberia to South Africa, from Japan to the Azores before European voyages of exploration had started.
		A statement written by the map maker on the lower left hand corner of the map says “(this chart is) drawn by Mo Yi Tong, a subject (of Qing dynasty) in the year of 1763 by imitating a world chart made in 1418 showing the barbarians paying tribute (to Ming dynasty)”.
		The map is in colour with the seas left white except for the red sea which is coloured in vermillion (as in 1375 map).

		His voyages, records, maps are one of the explanation and source of some of the other Ancient world maps, which (mysteriously) showed the Americas, Antarctica, the tip of Africa etc..
		According to the map's owner, Liu Gang, a Chinese lawyer and collector, he purchased the map in 2001 for $500 USD from a Shanghai dealer.
		Even though the map has been shown to date from a period that could cover 1763, the question remains as to whether it is an accurate copy of an earlier 1418 map, or simply a copy of a contemporary 18th-century European map.

		The Kangnidos bear a close resemblance to the Da Ming Hun Yi Tu, but since the place names appear in its original Mandarin Chinese, much more information could be gathered from it.
		The lighthouse of Alexandria is clearly visible on the map, with the Mandarin Characters which reads Msir – the Arabic name for Egypt.
		The Government of Japan assisted Parliament in locating these maps and the late Prime Minister of Japan, the Honourable Keizo Obuchi, presented a copy of 1402 Kangnido to the Speaker of the National Assembly.

	[KS] Old Korean maps of Europe?
		My monograph "Cartography in Korea" discusses the famous Kangnido map of 1402, a Buddhist world map of the 12th century, an 18th century Korean globe showing the entire world including Antarctica, and the very popular Ch'Onhado of the 17th-19th centuries, which I believe was a kind of folk literati spinoff of the Kangnido.
		There's nothing in any of these maps which has resonance with the concept "medieval," which pretty much is valent only in the historiography of Western civilization.
		There are several Korean copies of the 15th and 16th centuries, the oldest of which dates from around 1471; unfortunately, all of them were stolen during the Imjin wars and are now owned by Japanese institutions.

		The northernmost horizontal line on the map is a very good approximation for 45 degrees north and the line just below the bulge of Africa in the center of the map is a good match for the equator.
		Menzies writes a lot about the Kangnido map of 1402, a Korean world map, and although he shows details of the western part of the map, showing Africa and Europe, nowhere does he reproduce the entire map.
		On the large map and the globe, he shows a narrow gap between North and South America, but on an inset in the large map he shows a connection.

	1421 - Evidence - Dr. Gunnar Thompson's technical review of the 1418 map
		Since Mercator's maps were regarded as the standard in Europe for over a century, we need to evaluate the possibility that a Chinese cartographer such as Mo Yi-tong might have borrowed from such a map in the 18th century.
		A subsequent Ming Dynasty map of Africa was given to the Japanese circa 1402; and the resulting composite map is known in Japan as the Kangnido.
		The similarity of the Cantino Map to the Map by Mo Yi-tong suggests that this is an accurate portrayal of the original 1418 Ming World Map.

		These mapping traditions, when placed within their cultural contexts, are rich with insights into the way different peoples understand and interact with their surroundings.
		These maps range from large to small scale and include maps of broad regions, route maps, and maps of rural and urban localities.
		In addition, Renaissance maps will be examined in terms of the technical skills used to create them, the political contexts and purposes that put them to use, and the circumstances of production and consumption that governed their economic capacity.

		What I find interesting is that this map appears at the same time of another Chinese map, supposedly dated from 1418, that represents the entire world.
		Obviously, the later map is a forgery, but what I find interesting in this appearance of Chinese maps that supposedly ‘prove’ that Chinese sailed around the world before the Europeans is that they seem to be just a means to legitimate China’s contemporary ‘peaceful rising’.
		As for the Korean map, I don’t dispute its validity.

		The Kangnido map (1402) predates Zheng's voyages and suggests that he had quite detailed geographical information on much of the Old World.
		His voyages, records, maps are one of the explanations and supposed sources of some of the other Ancient world maps, which are claimed to have depicted the Americas, Antarctica, the tip of Africa etc..
		This belief is supported in part by the similarities in Sindbad's name and the various iterations of Zheng in Arabic and Mandarin (pinyin: MÇ SÄnbÇo;Cantonese: Mah Senbau; Arabic name: Hajji Mahmud Shams) along with the similarities in the number (seven) and general locations of voyages between Sindbad and Zheng.
