Description:

Zheng He commanded the massive Treasure Fleet in early Ming China. He survived a rather burtal  childhood, and rose up to  the highest position ever for a Eunuch. He sailed all over the Indian Ocean, and if it weren't for a change of Emperor (something that happened often in his time) he might have reached areas of the globe hundreds of years prior to when Explorers of Europe did.
