An Inglorious Columbus is a book written by Edward P. Vining that presents evidence suggesting that a group of Buddhist monks from Afghanistan, led by Hwui Shan, discovered America in the fifth century AD. The book challenges the commonly held belief that Christopher Columbus was the first European to reach America, and instead argues that Hwui Shan and his party traveled across the Pacific Ocean and landed on the American continent long before Columbus. The book presents a detailed analysis of historical records and archaeological evidence to support this theory. The author also explores the cultural and religious significance of this discovery, highlighting the influence of Buddhism on American culture. Overall, An Inglorious Columbus offers a unique perspective on the history of America and challenges readers to reconsider their understanding of the country's origins.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
