Epigraph researcher John Ruskamp claims these symbols shown in the enhanced image above, found etched into rock at the Petroglyph National Monument in Albuquerque, New Mexico, are evidence that ancient Chinese explorers discovered America long before Christopher Columbus stumbled on the continent in 1492 (dailymail.co.uk).

 

American author and researcher John Ruskamp claims to have found pictograms from the ancient Chinese Shang Dynasty etched into rocks in America! The symbols are carved into rocks in New Mexico, California, and Arizona [in the US Southwest]. He says the Chinese were exploring North America long before Europeans.

Edward Vining: An Inglorious Columbus

• [American historian Edward Payson Vining wrote in An Inglorious Columbus; or, Evidence that Hwui Shan and a party of Buddhist monks from Afghanistan discovered America in the fifth century, a.d. (1885) that a team of Buddhist monks from Afghanistan led by Chinese Buddhist missionary Hwui Shan discovered America 1,000 years before Columbus. And Rick Fields proves in How the Swans Came to the Lake (shambala.com) that Chinese Buddhist missionaries arrived in California and Mexico (Alta- and Baja- California) long before Christianity, Catholicism, or European invaders landed on these shores.]

Ruskamp claims the symbols give details of journeys and honor the Shang king. The discovery of the Americas has for centuries been credited to the Italian explorer Christopher Columbus, but ancient markings carved into rocks around the US could require history to be rewritten.
 
They say could have been inscribed there alongside the carvings of Native Americans by Chinese explorers thousands of years ago.

John Ruskamp, a retired chemist and amateur epigraph researcher from Illinois, discovered the unusual markings while walking in the Petroglyph National Monument in Albuquerque, NM. More + VIDEO

• New research suggests humans arrived in Australia 65,000 years ago.
• This would mean they lived alongside the continent's unique megafauna.
• Some experts have argued that humans may have caused their extinction.
• Researchers involved in study argues new evidence suggests this is not the case.
• Not everyone is convinced however, arguing that arriving on the continent early gave them more chance to wipe out the megafauna.
