8,000 glorious years of Chinese history!

[artemisdart]

Chinese sources always trumpet their 5,000 years of glorious cultural history and identity.

They're about to up that figure to 8,000. Thanks to my brother for the link:


"Archaeologists say they have evidence that modern Chinese script is much older
than previously thought."

It's going to happen in three... two... one... oh, I missed it. It started happening yesterday.

Take that, Jews!

I realize how risky it was for me to use that subject line. But, my Jewish friends and I are always having hilarious and joking arguments about our respectively ancient civilized traditions. So, I could not resist. Now if I can only find a way to justify having my glorious homeland revise the calendar to reflect a bigger number than that of the Hebrew calendar, our victory will be complete!
