Quetzalcoatl Rising is a provocative and subversive account of the phenomenal journey of a Buddhist monk to the New World in 478 AD. By questioning assumptions in a wide array of disciplines and drawing from a new body of evidence, the author challenges conventional world history and unravels one of its greatest mysteries. A unique and disturbingly relevant perspective of the scope and reach of Chinese Empire emerges through this lucid tale of the man known as 'One Reed'.
