It is still uncertain why it took so long for the history of Admiral Zheng He to surface. Good thing Menzie, a persistent researcher never lose sight of uncovering and putting out into the open the facts and history of Admiral Zheng He which could drastically change history, that he discovered America instead of Christopher Columbus.

Why history took so long to bring Zheng back to the surface in view of the fact that records of his travels still exist, despite the mistaken belief that they had been destroyed by the Ming emperors as advised by xenophobic Confucian officials, is lost in the fog of time.

"Following Zheng He's seventh voyage, the ruling Ming emperor banned further expeditions and ordered the records of the trips destroyed. This was likely because of the great expense of these expeditions and the serious debates about their benefits to China. As a result, little, if anything, of the original official records of Zheng He's voyages survived. In addition, in Ming China, imports and exports were greatly reduced as the country closed itself off from the rest of the world."

Confucian officials would have had to violate their principles to hide the possibility of wealth. The issue would have been integrity. Zheng He open trade would have made China rich.
