Show me proof Zheng He discovered Americas.

They may have had maps, but they didn't know the land was there. When Columbus reached the Caribbean, he thought he was in Asia. People thought that the world was flat and that Columbus would fall off the face of the earth.

Again, Zheng He didn't discover the Antarctica (which you are saying beacause you claim he discovered North and South Poles). ANTARCTICA WASN'T DISCOVERED UNTIL 1821 OR 1773 (depends on what you believe) it was discoved by Captain Cook. CAPTAIN COOK ALSO DISCOVERED AUSTRALIA.

GIVE ME PROOF ZHENG HE DISCOVERED ALL THIS. Zheng He didn't discover all this...

all i can say is read 1421 there is your proof i can go through it but i dont have it right now. he discovered the america and made colonies in america which merged into the indian tribes when supplies were not coming.

columbus knew the land was there and he knew the world wasnt flat because ships wouldnt disapper they would just get smaller yes he tought he was in asia because his map skills suck

you cant discover a land you live in thats why it doesnt count when its in discovering this history stand point

captain cook found australia yes

Once again you're wrong...

The correct answer is soccer.

It may not be the world's oldest sport but you said it's also the most popular, so actually, the question itself is wrong. The oldest sport (Bowling/Wrestling) is not the most popular beacause it's played in every country... Soccer is too, and it's even more popular than that.

So once again, the correct answer IS NOT bowling, the CORRECT ANSWER IS Futebol/Football/Soccer

once again im wrong HAHAHA before you make your claims why dont you do some real damn research like i make this crap up
bowling is the oldest sport and reason you dont see it as the most popular sport is cause you see national teams on tv everyone plays bowling everyday in every country so just because no national teams doesnt mean it aint popular you may consider it as a underground popularity

DO SOME DAMN RESEARCH

HAHAH. I do do research. Where did I talk of national teams. Soccer is played EVERYWHERE EVERYDAY TOO!!! Bowling is the oldest sport, but your question also said it was the world's most popular, IT'S NOT go do some good research and see that soccer is the most popular in the world.

Also, show me legit proof!!! They didn't merge with the Indians... I'm not doubting you, but I want LEGIT PROOF.

Again, you agree with me that Cook discovered Australia, so why did you put Zheng He did?

"Menzies, who is planning to revise his book by 2007 in light of the latest evidence, now believes that Zheng He was not the first to sail to America. "One of the mistakes I made in my book was to say that Zheng He did everything. He had a legacy. Most of the world had already been mapped by Kublai Khan's fleet," he said.

Based on this, it might have been Kublai Khan's fleet who discovered America.

Haha, ok ok, that is right.

I'm not going to doubt you gunninhome, but it's not been proven 100% that Zheng He and the Chinese discovered America.

captain cook found austrila he didnt discover it there were chinase ships that wercked there and forced to live there they may or may not have survived and they indians thing is still a theory but its the only one to make sence since the indian tribes were found to have known the chinse langauge i cant give you qoutes or anything cause i dont have the book with me at the moument and i need to look at kublai khan to see if it holds but as for right now its china in 1421

If he found Australia, wouldn't that mean he also discovered it? Regardless of if they settled?

Again though, it's still disputed who really discovered America.

I still think Football is the most popular in the world. If we really wanted to find out, we would have to do a count of the 6 billion people on Earth.

I think it was actually the Romans who did. They used heads for balls.

yeah he discovered it but getting credit for discovering goes to the first country to get there by what historians say. he claimed he discovered it because there was no way he would of known that someone else beat him to it. yes this may sound weird with vickings not getting credit for america maybe they didnt map it i dont know

yes i agree that there might be a disput on who discovered america but he did prove that china was there in 1421-1423 if mongoula happens to get there before china then they will get credit for discovering.

yeah and they would probly say soccer but bowling is a sport everyone just does you wouldnt call it the sport of bowling unless your in a league or something
