凯文·孟席斯是个64岁的英国老头,原本名不见经传,用他自己的话来形容,他是个业余“历史学家”。这位业余历史学家最近在英国突然名噪一时,因为他经过多年研究,公布了一个让人瞠目结舌的结论:北美和澳大利亚大陆都是中国人发现的。英国媒体纷纷报道了这个消息,还说如果孟席斯的判断得到证实,哥伦布发现新大陆的历史就要改写了。孟席斯年轻时在英国皇家海军担任一艘潜艇艇长。退休后,孟席斯一直在位于伦敦北部伊灵顿的家里从事自己的爱 Kevin Menzies, a 64-year-old English man who was originally unknown and described in his own words as an amateur “historian.” This amateur historian has suddenly made a name for himself in the UK as he has, after years of research, published a surprising conclusion: North America and the Australian mainland are both Chinese. The British media reported the news one after another and added that if Menzies’s judgment was confirmed, Columbus would find the history of the New World to be rewritten. Menzies was a submarine captain of the Royal Navy in his youth. After retirement, Menzies has been engaged in his love at home in Ealington, north London
