Zheng He (1405–1433) was a [[Muslim]] admiral to the Ming dynasty of China. He took trips from [[China]] to [[India]] and the [[Middle East]]. Some have claimed that he even traveled to [[Africa]] on his voyages. However, historians more commonly give credit to the idea that Zheng's fleet reached the Americas rather than Africa.
