"...Mertz offers a bold which links the God [Quetzalcoatl] to a buddhist missionary who journeyed here [North America] from China in the 5th century A.D...What's more, Mertz proves with great precision that Chinese exporation of North and Central American began at lest 4,000 years ago. Her theories rest on clues provided by two ancient Chinese books formerly considered only fabulous tales." Intriquing yet considered now to be somewhat fantastical and not condoned by the scientific community.
