(More customer reviews)The Emperor of the Seas video is what I have found to be a rare account of the ancient Chinese Treasure Fleet. The video was enlightening entertainment not only suitable viewing but cultural and history knowledge expanding for the entire family.
Western ancient historians have, in my judgment, neglect the ancient Chinese influence on culture and human ancient history. The account of the Treasure Fleet is very well done in this film and raises new historic questions in my mind.
The possible historic parallels between the ancient Chinese Treasure Fleet and the modern day (1968-1972) United States Apollo fleet that travelled to the moon is what drew me into this aspect of Chinese history. Nonetheless, for whatever reason I was drawn to the DVD Blue-ray, I am very pleased to know have the knowledge of it.
AGAIN, this is a MUST for any DVD Library of the 21st Century. I highly recommend it.

Between 1405 and 1433, the Ming government sponsored a series of seven naval expeditions led by Zheng He and the greatest armada the world had ever seen. Emperor Yongle designed them to establish a Chinese presence, impose imperial control over trade and impress foreign countries.With a many as 300 ships and 28,000 crewman, Zheng He s ships traveled to Southeast Asia, the Persian Gulf and as far as Africa, liberally dispensing gifts of Chinese porcelain and silk and in return receiving rich gifts from his hosts.Now, six centuries later, the truth about Zheng He s voyages are finally being told. Who is this extraordinary man who led seven voyages around the world eight decades before Columbus discovered America? And what was the true purpose of his voyages?
