Did Zheng He reach America first?

Did Zheng He reach America first? Yes, I believe that Zheng He has reached America first because, Christopher Columbus, the other navigator that has claimed to reach America first had much smaller ships than Zheng He did. In fact, the size of Columbus’s ships are so small that it almost seems impossible that he had reached America without a map, If he had actually found America, then he would have prepared for the journey like make sure they had enough food and water. Zheng He brought out a massive amount of ships which were much bigger than the size of Columbus’s ones. Zheng He had a deck of soil on all of his ships so that they could plant vegetables and crops for them to eat throughout the journey.

Most historians predict that Columbus had reached America first but now, scientists believe that Columbus was using the map Zheng He had drew after he had discovered America. Some scientists went to Africa and America and tested the DNA of some people there, they have found out they have some Chinese DNA in them, they now predict that when Zheng He had arrived in America, some people stayed in America and lived there. So the generations had started there. Also, some Chinese cups and bowls have been found under the sea in some places near when Zheng He had been in his journeys, some historians suspect that the cups and bowls had been left there by Zheng He when he was there.

But the next King in the Ming dynasty was really unwise and he burnt all the books that records the discovery of Zheng He finding America. This is why I think that Zheng He had reached America first
