According to the official history, China is an ancient empire formed about three thousand years ago. It is logical … that such an ancient civilization should be so technologically advanced - of the highest level of development, to make a big leap. However, until the end of the 20th century, it remained one of the most backward states. And then a thinking person thinks - how are we? Tse Europe. Have you grown from squeaky to space weapons for 170 years? It took literally one century before a complete reboot of technology and progress. The rest of the years are exploited (improved) inventions until the middle of the 20th century. Since literally since 1960, nothing new has been invented.
Now compare 3000 years and (let) 150 years. It turns out that progress in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, in the European part of the globe, was 20 times faster than the last 3 thousand years, in southeast Asia? Rave!!! That there weren't smart, inquisitive, inventive minds? Nonsense!!! As you read the official history, there they invented the numbers, then the letters..
So it turns out, not really thinking, but only looking from a different angle, at such a wonderful progress, as the question arises - Where is the evolution of minds? As they teach us, they ran with bows and sabers. That is, without even looking deeply from the 11th century to the 19th - they threw sticks for eight eyelids, and then again! Wiser and invented the capsule. I smell a fool somewhere, like in Raikin's - "… inside a medieval knight, modern sawdust …".
How do you feel about official, academic, history (Newton asked questions about the historical error in dating events) and alternative views on it?
