KidStranglehold: Thanks for ur contribution. Am now interested in ancient China, I would try to get books to read on them. I have always loved Japanese and am currently into Shinto. These Chinese seem cool On ur assertion of the invention of gun powder maybe in Asia but in Africa it was the fon people of dahomey who the Yoruba learnt firearms and guns from. |

there's this nice old e-book on China I found on Project Gutenberg by Wolfram Eberhard. 'A History of China'. I found it was well-written and concise. you might want to check it out. 1 Like |

@Kails LOL! Glad to be back. @macof You welcome. ![]() Chinese history is just one of my favorite history. I wasn't trying to downplay the Greeks. Trust me I know the Greeks contributed to a lot of things, but they were also influenced by other people. True. But the first people in Africa to use gunpowder were the people of the Kanem empire. They learned it from the Ottomans and this was way before Christian Europeans set foot in Africa. |
