Why do the islanders of Lamu Islands in Africa claim to be descendants of China?

When it comes to Africa, most people will think that it is a place full of wars, diseases and poor people. These pronouns seem to be the labels of Africa. However, many donkey friends have denied their previous ideas after visiting some African countries. There are also some developed countries and cities in Africa, as well as some popular tourist attractions and enthusiastic African friends.

Today, Xiang Xiao tells you about a Kenyan island, Lamu Islands. This island not only has the most primitive island and ancient city landscape, but more importantly, the residents on the island claim to be descendants of China. Let's get to know the situation together.

Let's talk about the geographical location of Lamu Islands, which is located on the northeast coast of Kenya. It is mainly composed of four big islands, Lamu, Manda, Patai and Kiwayu, and some surrounding small islands. This island gives us a different impression from other African countries. Due to the influence of marine climate, the temperature difference between morning and evening in Lamu Islands is very large, which is not as high as that in other African countries.

Many tourists saw a news about Lamu Islands on the Internet. A girl was called by local residents? China girl? Her name is Mwamaka Sharif. The girl claimed that she was descended from China. Six hundred years ago, a caravan from China came here to trade and settle down. She said that these people were her ancestors.

This news has attracted the attention of many experts and domestic journalists. After consulting materials and in-depth investigation, it is found that in A.D. 14 15, Zheng He arrived in the coastal cities of East Africa with a group of China troops, and Lamu Islands became one of the transit points, so there may be descendants of China here.

In addition, tourists also learned from local residents that some merchant ships had accidents in the islands before, so some China people arrived in Lamu Islands along the ocean current and lived on the island, so many residents on the island insisted that they were descendants of China people. Some experts also conducted underwater archaeological operations and dug up a lot of evidence. They salvaged a large number of China porcelain and pottery underwater, which also confirmed the legend of China shipwreck told by local residents. Moreover, in many residents' homes, experts also found a large number of porcelain and broken porcelain pieces produced in China.

Apart from the ancestral status of the local residents, this island does have many charming scenery and attracts many tourists. There is the most beautiful sunrise in Africa. Bill Gates once built a villa across the island for the sunset here. Traveling to the island, you will find that there are no cars on the island, and donkeys are the means of transportation for local residents. When tourists pass these donkeys in the street, they will feel very special and exotic.

Bian Xiao thinks that no matter who is calling. China girl? Whether the residents are descendants of China or not, in the Ming Dynasty, China people went to the Western Ocean on a large scale with a long history, so we can still feel the prosperity of China in Lamu Islands. I don't know what you think of those people on the island who claim to be. Chinese descendants? What do the residents think?
