Now there is a theory that Chinese voyagers preceded them all heading for American shores ar~nd 3000 B.C. A few years ago, large doughnut- shaped stones with holes in them were discovered off the Cahforma coast by dredgers and divers, lending support to the theory that the Chi- nese were early visitors to the New World. _Professor James Moriarity, a ma- rine archaeologist who eaches an- cient history at the Umversity of San Diego, theorized that the stones prob- ably were line weights r anchors from Chinese- rps that made trans- Pacific voyages 5,000 years ago. Geologic tests indicated the stones were very ancient, and similar stones are displayed in Chinese mu- seums, supporting the China-Ameri- ca connection. There are doubting Thomases to Moriarity's conclusion. Some think the stones were made in the ancient style by Chinese fishermen who lived along the California coast during the Gold Rush days. But DOW e idence has co~e_to 1the fore to lend support to Monanty's_ clajm. S3:n Diegan Larry Pierson, a sub- marme archaeologist who investigat- ed the stones with Moriarity, says ar- chaeological investigations of 5,000- year-old royal tombs in China have found in those tombs samples of New World plants, including peanuts and corn. ''As for those who disagreed with our thl:ory," said Pierson, "let toem eat maize." Meanwhile, some of the stones found off the California coast are on display in Bob Meistrell's Dive 'N Surf shop, in Redondo Beach. He was one of the divers who discovered them.
