I believe Zheng He is from Ming Dynasty, a precursor to Qing Dynasty. He's a Muslim Eunuch. Though there's rumour that the first Ming Emperor is a Muslim, but in general, Ming Dynasty is purely Chinese.

Some nomads and barbarians are more advance at some area then their more civilized counterpart. Germanic tribes for example, posses better metalurgical technology then Rome for sometime. The Steppe nomads created Composite Bow, the most technological advance Bow of that time, which the civilized people from east to west copied. in fact, Mongols archery was so advance, they even have different arrow for different purpose. Mongols general Subotai was also the first General in history who initiate two simultaneous battle, thousand kilometres apart, in a single operation. Nobody can match this feat until the creation of the proper radio communication during WW1. Mongol army advanced at a rate as far as 120km a day, a feat unmatched until WW2.

Oh! and Mongols are more akin to Atilla the Hun then Sun Tzu

Being uncivilized doesn't make them no brainer. And thinking that civilized people allways at the forefront of the technological edge is also wrong.



A theory at the brink of a total rejection. As we learn more of human body, it's is increasingly diffcult to fit a chimps in the annals of human evolution. Darwin are ancients history, just like Ptolemy wo said the earth is the centre of the universe.

I believe Apes are the demoted form of normal human. that means the ape evolved from human.

Bit off topic, but i believe the Batik Issue, Rasa Sayange issue, the BENDERA and lately the detention of Malaysian fishermans by Indonesian authority inside Malaysian waters, is a sign of Indonesian Inferiority complex. somehow they try to overcompensate.
