That may or may not be the case, still it doesn't go back to the beginning of time, where we find the maya rafting across the not-so-pacific to start out our chinese brothers on some simple handicrafts in the first place .... this whole business of the 'new' world getting mixed up with the 'old' world a few centuries ago started with whatisname the genoese sailing for their most catholic majesties, looking for India and then claimed he'd found Cipangu, can you imagine .... history is bunk, this has been said, and we may be well advised to make up our own The term 'civilisation' would appear fairly subjective ..... i've got one [notice how i scored the five threes, eh], and clearly, to such degree as you differ from me, you don't ;-)

Coming back from china,there were four Chinese airline translators on the flight, who could not comunicate with a Chinese woman,so they asked for volunteers from the mainly chinese passengers..no, Chinese, (250) on board could speak or translate for this Chinese women.. so i assume this one Chinese person ,you are so proud of was a relative?<VBG> << would expect to hear Japan would also have a couple of years of history, even though they had no language, and did not know how to weave... until a Chinese went there to tell them how.>>
