I have posted rebuttal of the global fantasies on a website taken from numerous reviews;
http://www.chinahistoryforum.com/index.php?showtopic=10942&st=0
I also checked into his irresponsible methods with other ‘evidence’ and found those that check his ‘facts’ worldwide find the same things.
This website includes many issues of evidence, and manipulation. I include and abridged version of an excellent article on the above link. Full version at:http://www.dightonrock.com/gavinsfantalyland.htm

If you read one link that explodes Menzies’ today then make it this dighton rock one!
If you read this then any doubts about Menzies’ distortions will vanish. It is thoroughy referenced and is easy to check Gavins own sources. ;)

If you read through it then almost everything Menzies’ said is exploded as fiction and fabrication.
His ‘carved stones’ are typically bronze age, not Ming…his ship wrecks are often identified as historical & carbon dated after 1421…but he just leaves such things out despite knowing it from his own sources!. Pure manipulation.

I weep for history.
Menzies is not an underdog being picked on by academics. I dont think he is being treated unfairly.
His 1421 work is a disgrace. He is simply a sham historian. His book either demonstrates the authors very poor grasp of reality or else a brilliant insight into how to sell beyond 20 editions in 5 short years.
The phrase is ‘laughing all the way to the bank’.

On September 5, an article of Zheng He Research and Activities Brief was written and posted by Au Cheng-liang, an amateur history researcher from Tainan (quote - interpretation corrected by a lawyer called Jiang Shin-Shian - unquote). The article was titled, “Another Side of Menzies -
Straddled by Court Cases and Debts”, it started off by putting in the details of Gavin’s court case, named his wife Marcella, and ended by saying his book was based on assumptions and not true.

I can’t believe these academics and scholars!!!

These people are hired by high education and research authorities, they must know they cannot go into a smear campaign and ruin other’s reputation simply because others have presented a different theory.

How am I going to trust putting my kids to these institutions that have low form of lives to teach our children!!! How can I trust the research presented by these institutions suspecting that the truth might have been shut out from a bunch of cronies who had no open mind!!!

I hope the National University of Singapore, Taiwan Oceanographic University will examine why these people are allowed to do these under the name of their distinguished organizations, and whether these people had any similar smear campaigns to anyone they disagreed.

Again, I’m not ruling anything out, since history is such that we won’t know for sure what happened because everyone who was there is long dead.

As college professors and researchers in a famous educational and research institution, they should not do any personal attacks or writing open or anonymous letters to the Singapore press, Singapore Tourism Board and even the U.S. Library of Congress to “debunk” Mr. Menzies for presenting his case.

With no respect of Freedom of Speech, Freedom of Faith, and disregard of other people using an open platform to voice what he finds, I think it’s a disgrace to the educational and research institutions which hired Wade and Su, these two institutions should remind the two folks what freedom of expression are all about.

The DNA evidence all says that North Americans populations are related to Asian populations and that there has been “recent” (within last 10,000 years)inflow of genes across the bering Straits area. Nothing new and nothing to support menzies claims

See also book by Phil Rivers: “1421: fact and fantasy”

Wade is neither bitter nor intolerant. Like most historians, he finds new theories exciting. But when people fabricate evidence in order to deceive people in their quest for a buck, he like most historians gets pretty disgusted.

Best wishes,

The reason is that the scholars usually build up their whole career and academic existence on one single pillar, only building it higher and higher. This is why I understand very well hat they who seem to rock the foundation of this pillar are not welcomed.
