Thank you! I have learnt so much from this broadcast. Well, why not rethink history? It's so good that China has opened up. And knocking off the better one is certainly not the way to go. I'm curious for more interesting discussions. Well done!
Indians were already here
Pilgrims swore there was a route from the Ohio River to China and he searched and searched but couldn't find it
You are missing the definitive research laid out in the two books "The Chinese Origin of the Age of Discovery" and "The Hunt for the Dragon". Both can be found on Amazon.com
When will someone start building the underwater high speed train?
Why didn't they show the evidence? Bamboo from Jamestown certainly can be photographed. I never heard of Bamboo in Jamestown nor Chinese porcelain. This gray-haired guy appears to be an idiot.
Oh dear! The Chinese has just opened yet another Pandoras Jar.
Very fascinating story!!! These young Chinese generations should be well aware of their rich background & tradition or culture......!!!The Silk Road primarily refers to the routes which connects East Asia-&-Southern Europe. The Silk Road is the most important & productive & worthwhile Trade in Silk for Chinese to secure its trade products & protect its Trade route during the Han Dynasty!Marco Polo is another story........Hope therell be an expertises would talk about the story of Marco Polo during his travelled through Asia along the Silk Road...............................!!!
Chinese maritime explorers in the past never seek to expand China's colonization or to exploit locals. The only thing Admiral Zheng He took from Africa were a pair of giraffes.. by exchanging it with Chinese silk at Mombasa in present day Kenya.
Liking the video before watching cuz I know it's gonna be lit
Indian history is so rich. But all we were taught in schools was either colonial history or Mughal history. To be more precise the period when we were subjugated by invaders. No wonders even Indians won't be aware of the part discussed here. Clearly history books needs to be rewritten here.
The Buddha dharma speed through territorial silk route ; it was spread though Kanishka the great of Kushan empire to the Chinese Han dynasty prince Liu Yang under the king Ming , then king Ming call Buddhist monks from to translate the all Dharmic scriptures .this is evidence from Chinese encryption ; modern historian are more imaginative .I guess .
Yavana/Yona/Lonia are officially Lavana/Lona/Lonia,who are known as ancient salt merchant of india in hinduism as well as in sikhism,they have found all over the world,egypt has 30% of Lavana population in there,there is some place in ciaro called Darb-Al-Labana ,Even egypt capital is Tanta/Tanda , ciaro.Tanda is lavanki language word which is used for Trader caravans.and one more thing these all lavana are habitat in india on ancient sea trade routes and ancient silk/salt routes as well.
Sea way is belongs to tamils, china on land, tamils on sea. Until 15th century
1:45 Not even ancient China can resist our spices and textilesI always wondered why local fishing nets in India were known as 'cheena vala' which means Chinese Nets but now it makes a lot of sense...Even Chinese kingdoms try to meddle into Indian politics several times and we did too vice versa
Good narrative video but missing a lot of information concerning the Funan (Ancient Khmer) maritime port and its roles in bridging the trade exchange between China and India.
As a Filipino, I can attest to Indian influences being the next cultural strata on top of our indigenous base. From governance, words, food, writing, to religious concepts, Indian cultural elements are the oldest import that has stayed. An important channel for this cultural transmission was the Malay Peninsula and the islands of Indonesia.The Supreme God of the Tagalog people is Bathala, from "Bhattara Guru", while we have words like "budh" (conscience), "dukh" (poor), "sampalataya" (faith, belief), "mahl" (dear, costly, expensive, highest), "puto" (a rice cake from the word "puttu"), "Tal" (star, also a Tagalog and Kapampangan star goddess), "diwata" (deity, from "devata"), "raja" (king or chief), "gadya" (elephant), "laks" (myriad/10,000, from "lakh"), and "basa" (read, from "vac", meaning speech). The Ramayana also has several versions here, its most famous expression being the Singkl dance of the Islamised Maranaw people.It's a very fascinating origin of many things we often take for granted or easily miss. From there, we absorbed Chinese and Arab influences, before the Spaniards arrived in 1521 to begin our long period of colonisation by western nations.
preindustrial era, indian culture is quite a powerhouse. we will converge with the preindustrial era balance of power with china, india as major powers, europe disunited and middle east in neverending wars. us
you missed its cultural & technology export to middle east and europe. like wootz steel, Indian numeral system...
I'm not sure if the influence is as far as Japan, but I found some similarities between my state (Karnataka) language (Kannada) with Japanese.(Kannada) (Japanese)Kara/Karaide = Kara = SpicyIru = Iru = to stayMatte = Mata = AgainYaaru = Daare = WhoAme = Kame = TortoiseBekku = Neko = Catnai = inu = dogkari = kuro = blackilla = inai = not thereTinu = Taberu = eatiga = ima = nowKarnataka also has Yakshagana which is similar to Japanese Kabuki.
So is China the main country making the most money?
Before 1100 AD India economy 32% of the world and the Chinese 34%
I belong from Odisha in India, there is a festival we celebrate called Bali Yatra which means "Travel to Bali". There were regular Naval Voyages from Kalinga ( now Odisha) to Bali in Indonesia.
China very small
... until western pirates bring the monopoly games...
Nalanda just like overseas Sriwijaya university..Peace..
Hindu Brahmins were not allowed to travel by sea. By land, yes. Sea would be other lower castes.
Thanks so much for this great video on the maritime silk route! Loved it!!
This channel is really misleading to please some people. Most info about Chinese history are totally wrong or biased.
