Scientifically, Mr. Gavin Menzies is a fraud!
By Captain Carlos Mesquita    Dec 9 2004

Captain Carlos Mesquita is a veteran of the Portuguese  Navy and an officer that has cruised all the oceans.
Here is his synopsis the way he pulverizes Gavin Menzies’  book:  “1421- The year the Chinese discovered America?”

“Scientifically, Mr. Gavin Menzies is a fraud. His ignorance about nautical matters (which is strange for someone who claims to have been a Royal Navy officer) is only matched by his vivid imagination”.

“Historically, his book is a hoax fit to deceive ONLY those not familiar with the things of the sea and of the heavens, and who enjoy, and of course they are entirely entitled to it, a dubious so called historical story. Millions have read and watched on the screen Star Wars and the adventures of Harry Potter, but how many were convinced that it all actually happened?”

“Mr. Menzies does not seem to know where lies the boundary between History and fiction or, if he does he is deliberately swindling the public at large, a technique also known as charlatanism.”
