It's not taken seriously because there is a "set" history we're supposed to know. Anything that ever contradicts popular belief, no matter how much evidence there is to support it, is considered wrong and ignorant.

READ - Gavin Menzies 1421 The year China Discovered the World.
www.1421.tv
read this in 2004, one of the first things that got me thinking about the fake history we all learn.
I am doing a piece for my Radio Show on Doc Redouski who discovered an Iberian style ship off the coast of Roatan which was dated to around1250 using the sealed olive jars which were carbon dated (found in the hull). When he contacted the Smithsonian Institute in the 1970's and had the dating done, his permits were pulled and they ensured he did not get to go back or recover any of the jars proving European or Middle East traders were visiting America hundreds of years before we supposedly DISCOVERED America!

The dating provides the age of the paper. The ink was not dated.

What an amazing collection of maps. I'm fascinated at the locations of Gog and Magog on the first map,
and the Chinese map has me very interested in learning more about how these maps might have been drawn, and just how it is that these people were able to produce such accurate details when we supposedly didn't have the "technology".

No the map is real
The map created in 1763 is evidently real, but is its purported source? That supposed to have been created in 1418?
If you have evidence or further information on this, then please post it - otherwise your assertion is pointless.
peace

Yes as posted earlier its Africa with the Mediterranean sea but the way it looks it was an easy mistake to make although most people think the vikings made it to North America.

Back then, copying a map was extremely expensive, that's one thing, but the other thing is that in a nation like China there would be a whole staff continually restoring old state documents. If a chart needed to be restored, they would copy it, and then toss away the original. When did ever the Chinese bother to look at any copyright notice. Besides, today there wouldn't possibly have been anything left of it. Paper may have been invented in china, but Chinese paper is still the worst there is. Wouldn't use it for soles in my shoes even.
The earliest known maps to have survived in China date to the 4th century BCE.[17] In 1986, seven ancient Chinese maps were found in an archeological excavation of a Qin State tomb in what is now Fangmatian, Dangchuan Xian, in the vicinity of Tianshui City, Gansu province.[17] Before this find, the earliest extant maps that were known came from the Mawangdui excavation in 1973, which found three maps on silk dated to the 2nd century BCE in the early Han Dynasty.[17][18] The 4th century BCE maps from the State of Qin were drawn with black ink on wooden blocks.[19] These blocks fortunately survived in soaking conditions due to underground water that had seeped into the tomb; the quality of the wood had much to do with their survival.[19] After two years of slow-drying techniques, the maps were fully restored.[19]
