How was the forgotten Fleet of China found? And what was the aim of the expeditions of the Chinese fleet?
Exactly 600 years ago, in the summer of 1405, a huge armada weighs anchor in the port of Nanjing, China. Under the command of Admiral Zheng, 200 ships from China with a crew of 27,000 set out for the west. This is to be the first of seven voyages of discovery that will take the gigantic Chinese fleet via Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia to Iran and Africa. It is not until 100 years later that a European achieves a similar feat, when the Portuguese Vasco da Gama circumnavigates the Cape of Good Hope and penetrates as far as India.
But why is it also called Dragon Fleet? Find it out in our documentary!

Can't hear the translations as the original person's voice is so loud.

@Bryster51 Год назад

Who was the amateur mixing your audio? Translated speech should be overlayed higher than native speech so one can hear it. Your mixer overlayed both at the same level. Your producer sure did not care in quality work.

Needed subtitle for this. Everything was drowned out by the background music and superior, shouting, angry, powerful, culturally superior, 500 years advanced, far-sighted Chinese Engineers, - as everybody in the world knows - and superior, angry Chinese talkers !!!!!

@daDonn Год назад

Why are documentary producers so often so terrible at audio mixing? It's a shame :(

@victorbolarsson Год назад

Thanks for the Documentary! Only thing was that when they spoke in Chinese with voice over in English it was nearly impossible to understand.

I’m so glad this channel is back uploading awesome ancient history docs lol

The Zheng He story is a novel, not history because it was too "awesome". You should have learned that, if something is too good, it is very likely it is not true. The Zheng He story meets this criteria exactly. For instance, the story tells us that his 317 ships appeared suddenly and disappeared suddenly. How can such phenomena be true?

@ssherrierable Год назад

It’s obvious we have forgotten a lot more things that happened on this planet than we could ever possibly remember

@ultimate-voyage Месяц назад

We are developing a board game based on Zheng He's final voyage. Thank you for making this. It is very informational.

Love watching documentaries like this

@mjc11a Год назад

Could be very interesting but the audio is horrendous. Not worth my time.

@Fred-rj3er Год назад

The sound is chronic! If someone is talking in the background the narrator is drowned out! Don't you even check what you are recording and posting??? Pointless watching!

@jonnynice8366 Год назад

Fantastic documentary. Truly an epic period of history.

@Mariusmjvr Год назад

God the music is loud. Can't hear much. Don't you people listen to your own product?

@user-gu8qi4me8x Месяц назад

As far as the Zheng He voyages is concerned, I believe only his name is true and all the events related to him are not true at all. For example, Zheng He never spoke a word to all the foreign kings he met. How could this mute diplomacy be true?

@jeremycoe7259 11 месяцев назад

Maybe he can only speak Chinese language ? 😅

@legpol 11 месяцев назад

@@jeremycoe7259 : Even if Zheng He could only speak Chinese, there were plenty of chances for him to speak, such as speaking to Arab kings thru his interpreter Ma Huan. And there was the need to correspond to foreign kings in writing. He could only arrive at the sea shore while all kings were stationed many miles inland. Therefore there must be records in writing that could be read by us today. I believe the lack of such correspondence is the evidence for falsehood.

@user-gu8qi4me8x Месяц назад

@@legpoll actually agree with you and finally some one who l found in the comment section that actually has a functioning brain for once and this world actually genuinely needs more people actually like you in this world and you actually couldn't have said that actually any better than me lol ❤😂🎉.

@Mariusmjvr Год назад

China is peaceful you say? 😂😂😂

@jefffriedberg Год назад

I quit watching this OBVIOUS propaganda piece at 14:57, thumbs down.

@legpol Год назад

This Zheng He story was a big lie, or a novel transfigured into a history. Now it is being used as a propaganda to make China historically great. If you were a critical reader, it is very easy to find it to be rubbish. For instance, the principle figure Zheng He was reported through out the entire story as mute; he never spoke one word though he was reported to have met dozens of kings repeatedly for 7 times. Of course he never wrote one letter to any government and nor receive any letter from foreign governments. It was all unilaterally narrated by the Chinese.
