by Charlotte Rees
Join us in the multi-purpose room as guest speaker Charlotte Rees discusses her travelogue Did Ancient Chinese Explore America? with CHSSC. This event is free and open to the public with refreshments being served
“The travelogue by
Ms. Rees is of great significance in that it was the first of
such an attempt to follow the footsteps of the Chinese
travelers as described in Shan Hai Jing and look for
sufficient evidence such as geography, plants, animals,
minerals, and petroglyphs. Although there have been many
doubts in the past about the accuracy and reliability of the
Shan Hai Jing, Ms. Rees’s observations and findings are
convincing and will undoubtedly lead to even further studies
by open-minded researchers.”
