Ancient Chinese account of the Grand Canyon, or course of the Colorado

The text examines ancient accounts that describe multiple suns and moons and a vast mulberry-like land to the east, comparing Chinese and Mesoamerican traditions. It interprets numerical and geographic details—such as tree metaphors and measured distances—as attempts to locate a Fu-Sang or helpful mulberry land in the Americas, and offers natural explanations for phenomena called false suns and moons, attributing them to optical effects produced by frozen haze and low-lying mist. The author critiques modern misreadings and aligns mythic imagery with physical geography.
