Nah - they got around pretty good, working their way through Indonesia
and along the African coast. thousands of miles. I would say that they
can be considered to have made long voyages. Did they discover
america? I don't know. Did they bring bees? Now that is certainly a
stretch. It makes sense that they would ahve horses and other live
stock to use and feed the salors. But bees would be of no use in the
open ocean. The 7 voyages were trading missions by and large, not to
establish colonies. Did said chinese even keep AM at that time?
