From Chinese accounts, we find records of Parthia, and through Parthia we find records links Rome.


Exactly. The guy might be a genius mathematician, but boy does he suck at applying mathematics to history (either that or he's just a simple conman looking to make money off of sensationalism, which is most likely the case). Lol.

His treatise on Western civilization is horribly innacurate (actually, that's an understatement), but his explanation about China is just ****ing priceless, hilarious. His stance is that Jesuit missionaries in the 16th century traveling to China invented the entire history of China before the Tang Dynasty (all the cultural mannerisms, events, people, inventions, philosophies, population shifts, court hearings, evolution of Chinese clothes styles, the evolution of Chinese art, everything) and then attempted to convince the Ming Dynasty Chinese administrative court at Beijing about this history, where they could adopt it as their own from Jesuit-missionary Europeans.

Do I really need to say more?

I pray to God that Onkel Wowa doesn't respond to this, because I might end up hurting his feelings quite a bit, or who knows, end up teaching him something about history and con artists of the worst kind.
