About this audiobook
"Pale Ink: Two Ancient Records of Chinese Exploration in America" is a book written by Henriette Mertz. In this book, Mertz presents her theory and analysis of two ancient Chinese documents that provide evidence of early Chinese exploration and presence in America. Mertz explores the stories and accounts mentioned in the "Fusang" and "Shan Hai Jing" texts, both of which date back to ancient times. She argues that these texts describe voyages made by Chinese explorers to the American continent long before Christopher Columbus arrived. Mertz suggests that these explorations occurred during the Tang Dynasty (618-907 AD) and potentially even earlier. Through meticulous research and analysis, Mertz connects the descriptions in the ancient Chinese texts to geographical locations and landmarks in America. She examines linguistic, historical, and cultural evidence to support her claim that the Chinese had knowledge of and interactions with the American continent in ancient times.
