Zheng He is a widely famous explorer for us Chinese. He began exploring in 1405, and he had 62 hugeeeee ships and 200 smaller ones. Some of the bigger ones were almost 400 feet long. When he died last year in 1435, the Ming Emperor destroyed everything about him. Im not sure why, but he did. All of the books about it and the records, all gone. He even had his ships BURNED. He wanted to make sure that his voyages were finished for good. Instead, they wanted to focus all of their attention on working on our society at hand. I wish they didnt end the voyages, i would have loved to have been able to be part of one. To explore all of the seas, what an amazing experience.
