Ancient Chinese Account of the Grand Canyon, or Course of the Colorado
Ancient Chinese Account of the Grand Canyon, or Course of the Colorado
Written in the early 20th century by Alexander McAllan, 'Ancient Chinese Account of the Grand Canyon, or Course of the Colorado' explores the connections between ancient Chinese mythology and the geographical features of North America, particularly the Grand Canyon and the Colorado River. McAllan draws parallels between ancient Chinese texts and the landscapes of America, suggesting that the Grand Canyon is referenced in these records. The work presents interpretations of celestial phenomena and mythological connections, proposing a framework that links ancient writings with modern understandings of the Grand Canyon's significance.

“it might seem advisable to prove that the haunt of the walrus was known to the ancient chinese writers who have furnished accounts of america, but it is unnecessary to do this, seeing that the phenomenon of the ten suns, which is only visible at the arctic circle, is referred to in the ancient books.””
— Alexander McAllan
