The Ice Age cometh; when China ruled, Islam rose and a lost sailor glimpsed America
Article Abstract:
The Galactic Museum's planned exhibition of special first millennium history of the planet Earth may disspell myths about the past. Authentic documents will be shown to support such disclaimers. One exhibit to be shown is the diary of Ibn Wahal. It covers his travels to China from Iraq in A.D. 872. Another display is a paraphrase from sea captain Abbara of Kirman's "Book of the Wonders of India," A.D. 950.
