The Story if Zheng He - The Ming Dynasty

On March 8, 1421, the largest fleet the world had ever seen set sail from China to "proceed all the way to the ends of the earth to collect tribute from the barbarians beyond the seas." When the fleet returned home in October 1423, the emperor had fallen, leaving China in political and economic chaos.
The great ships were left to rot at their moorings and the records of their journeys were destroyed. Lost in the long, self-imposed isolation that followed was the knowledge that Chinese ships had reached America seventy years before Columbus and had circumnavigated the globe a century before Magellan. And they colonised America before the Europeans, transplanting the principal economic crops that have since fed and clothed the world.

Pathologists have found coca and nicotine in the tissues of Egyptian Pharos. There were no sources of these substances in the old world. The Egyptians were by far the first to visit the Americas and were probably regular visitors.
