This card was bought by Chinese collector Liu Gang in 2001 at an antique store in Shanghai for $ 500. It dates back to 1763, but has an inscription: "This map was drawn by Mo Yi Tong, a subject of the Qing Dynasty, during the reign of Emperor Gong Li in 1763 according to the original map of 1418." This is 74 years before Columbus arrived in the New World, however, both Americas are already depicted on the Chinese map. Moreover, both coasts are both western and eastern. #NoiseCash
