When I read that rebuttal from ...Dear Ms. Deborah,<br /><br />When I read that rebuttal from "Ti Pu Win" my feeling can be described in one word --- "Bizarre"<br /><br />First of all, no Chinese, and I repeat, no Chinese with sane mind will dare to claim that the Chinese civilization is 30,000 year old<br /><br />We Chinese are people of a matured civilization, and we know that people from a matured civilization simply do not go around inflating the 'grandiosity' of the Chinese civilization with obviously fake number<br /><br />After all, if we do not object to that fella's claim that the Chinese civilization has 30,000 years of history now, what is there to stop him from claiming that the Chinese civilization is already <b>3 million years old</b>??<br /><br />The second thing that has raised my suspicion, Ms. Deborah, is the name that person used - "Ti Pu Win" - sounds very similar to the Malay language - I do have to confess that I have businesses in Singapore and have traveled to the South East Asian region regularly - and the word "Tipu" in the Malay language means "To cheat"<br /><br />In other words, Ms. Deborah, if my suspicions is correct, that "Ti Pu Win' is not a Chinese and he left his comment with the the sole intention of discrediting the Chinese<br /><br />We must call a spade, a spade, Ms. Deborah. If we detect a fake, we must identify it as suchAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9189930829940284211.post-91542922161169470932014-12-30T09:12:30.746-05:002014-12-30T09:12:30.746-05:00Jewish history is not the oldest, nor the longest ...Jewish history is not the oldest, nor the longest recorded, nor the richest in materials of culture. I don't know where you got this piece of nonsense. Perhaps from the old testament. One book of dubious historicity. The Black Sea Scrolls are the oldest and they are about Roman times. Tigris-Euphratis culture certain predates Jewish archeology. India's Mohinjodara now predates Sumerians, and the undersea city found at the mouth of the Ganges River is older than that, likely to Vedic times. Chinese archeology shows villages on stilts about 30,000 years old too. The Judeo-Christian myth should not remain in the light of new archeology.

It would thus, do everybody a favor if we devote our energy and focus on how to improve the lives of those in the African continent than that silly survey by the BBCAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
