| 520 | _a"Ancient Chinese Account of the Grand Canyon, or Course of the Colorado" by Alexander M'Allan is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The narrative delves into the connections between ancient Chinese mythology and the geographical features of North America, specifically the Grand Canyon and the Colorado River. M'Allan aims to draw parallels between ancient Chinese records and the topography of America, suggesting that the Grand Canyon is captured in these texts as a significant site. At the start of this work, M'Allan presents intriguing interpretations of ancient Chinese records that describe phenomena like multiple suns and moons, while linking these celestial references to the recognizable landscapes and features of North America. He explores the mythological connections of North America being likened to a "Mulberry Tree," suggesting that ancient cultures understood and observed landscapes and phenomena that could be directly related to the Grand Canyon. The author uses these narratives to propose a framework that connects ancient writings with the modern understanding of the Grand Canyon's grandeur, beauty, and tumultuous nature, setting the stage for further exploration of historical ties that might transcend the conventional understanding of geography.
