明朝万历时期,一幅名为《坤舆万国全图》的地图流入中国,该图为华夏中国描绘了世界全貌,是国内现存较早标明美洲大陆的世界地图。据载此图为西方传教士利玛窦所绘,由此之后拉开了“西学东渐”的序幕,西方科技知识陆续传入东方。然而,本书对《坤舆万国全图》详加分析,通过比较14至19世纪间六百多份地图,综合世界史原始资料,分析地图中地名、语源、地形、按语等,证明此图为明代中国人所绘。如此推理,可以力证中国也曾到过美洲,参与世界地理大发现的进程。本书重新审视世界史,颠覆史学旧论,以现代科学研究态度和方法揭示真相,用刑侦推理去侦破六百年的历史悬案——谁先发现了美洲。
虽然本书是一部世界史著作,但却像历史侦探小说,具有故事性和趣味性。不仅为历史翻案,更重要的是,挑战固有的“西方中心论”的科学史观,改变国人对“西学东渐”的成见和迷信,力图展现中国在探索美洲上的成就。
