Synopsis
Excerpt from An Inglorious Columbus: Or, Evidence That Hwui Shan and a Party of Buddhist Monks From Afghanistan Discovered America in the Fifth Century, A. D
That there are many who could have done much better than myself the work which I have undertaken to do, I am well aware; but, as those who are more competent have failed to give to the Chinese records of a distant eastern land that careful study which they seem to me to demand, I have thought it best to publish the results of my own examination of the subject.

An Inglorious Columbus (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating and often overlooked history of Buddhism's potential influence on the Americas. The author meticulously explores the intriguing Chinese account of a Buddhist monk's journey to a distant Eastern land, identified as "Fu-sang," in the fifth century CE. The narrative chronicles the monk's experiences in a land bearing striking similarities to pre-Columbian Mexico. The book presents a compelling argument, based on meticulous analysis of Chinese historical texts, that Buddhism may have reached the Americas centuries before the arrival of Europeans. Through detailed comparisons of cultural practices, religious beliefs, and geographical descriptions, the author presents a compelling case for the existence of a long-forgotten connection between Asia and the Americas. This captivating work challenges conventional historical narratives and offers a fresh perspective on the origins of civilization in the Americas, raising thought-provoking questions about the extent of early global connections and the enduring impact of cultural exchange. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330655023_0
