Dr Hwa-Wei Lee, Dr John A. Ruskamp, Jr. and Dr Lynne Chow share their valuable insights on Dr Wang’s new publication, Chinese Global Exploration in Pre-Columbian Era: Evidence from an Ancient World Map.
As Autumn (or Spring for those of us in the Southern Hemisphere) approaches and school begins for many, Dr Wang has found new information to learn in the coming year. In history classes, Dr Wang’s new discovery shows that the map, Kunyu Wanguo Quantu 《坤輿萬國全 圖/坤舆万国全图》, by Matteo Ricci continues to derive from Chinese sources – this time in regards to the Korean peninsula. As with her previous findings, the information is not of Europeans sources as the Eurocentric history once led us to believe. Below is a sneak-peek at her up-coming work on the Korean peninsula!
