A proposito di questo titolo

In 1405, the Yongle Emperor of Ming China launched a fleet unlike anything the world had ever seen. At its helm was Zheng He, a Muslim eunuch admiral who would lead seven epic voyages across the Indian Ocean, from Southeast Asia to East Africa. This pilot episode sets the stage: we begin with the construction of the treasure ships in Nanjing, then explore who Zheng He was—a captive turned trusted commander—and the geopolitical forces that propelled his fleets. We examine the scale of his ships, the navigation techniques using the compass and star charts, and the tribute system that motivated the emperor. Along the way, we encounter the Swahili city-states, the spice routes of Malacca, and the rival empire of Timur in Central Asia. Future episodes will dive into specific voyages, the mystery of why China withdrew from the oceans, and the enduring what-if of a Chinese-led global age. Join Lucas and Luna for a deep, conversational journey into one of history's most fascinating might-have-beens.
