if you decide to an essay, i'd be interested in reading it
for sure
@Werlf This really needs a LOT more inventions from Indians and Asians an Arabs
Considering nearly all agricultural messages, as well as written language in general, originates from Egypt, Iraq, the Indus Valley, and China
>when Nature magazine published a sketch of science in the Arab world in 2002, its reporter identified just three scientific areas in which Islamic countries excel: desalination, falconry, and camel reproduction.
asians and indians can come back when they invent the steam engine...
Bit unfair to only count the last few centuries.
or the computer...
I mean rockets were invented in India IIRC
yeah but they didnt quite make it to the moon
Well the country that got to the moon wasn't 100% euro either
Wasn't it China?
China was gunpowder
look up Mysore Rockets
Korea had them too
>In 1300 Mongol mercenaries in India are recorded to have used hand held rockets.
Basically these were the first rockets to not just be arrows with explodey bits on them
Doesn't look like they invented rockets.
blocking Vee is how you can tell JF is high IQ
>According to Liang Jieming, two Song dynasty generals by the name of Yue Yifang and Feng Jisheng (馮繼升) invented a variant fire arrow which used gunpowder tubes as propellant. However more documentary evidence of rockets does not appear until the 13th century.
Yeah I could be wrong here but last time I saw info on it, the idea is that exploding arrows were taken in India and the Indians had the idea of packing all the bomb into metal and making what people would today see as a rocket
But yeah I think these are sometimes considered the first rockets because they exploded
Why would you attach a sword to that?
whereas the earlier ones were just arrows that flew faster
Fuck man
why not put swords on everything
Anywhere my only point here is that the meme really does not give a fair shake to Asians
The fucking *plow* was apparently invented in China
It would probably make it slower
and Steppe horse people(Iranians or Turks or Mongols) appear to have invented hte wheel
Yeah it probably would, though I could also see it being an early understanding of ballistics
"If we put pointy shit at the end of our bombs, they fly straighter"
"put a fuckin' sword on it, Rajneesh, see if that helps"
>Arrows are for sissies, real men throw swords!
They had rockets in the Napoleon era
They were shit
