China in the end will be the enemy…
I swear I am going to freak out and do something like burn a building down if ppl don’t stop messing with me! Tell your leader.
But where do the aliens and witches and Bigfoot come into the picture?
Yeah but the Chinese eat with 2 sticks and couldn't even invent and come up
with a fork and spoon.
China stopped inventing things long ago and now they just copy other people and counterfeit products. China's most notable inventions were to kill and maim people, maybe they even stole those inventions.
Anybody else find it funny that it's " China china china" back to back here lately? Hmm
It was ironically mixed to be a health potion by a Chinese alchemist. It blew up and the rest is history.
If the ancient Chinese could see what their country has turned into in modern times I’m sure they would be absolutely heartbroken.
Ja!!!! Boom 💥
I wonder why China took beating from the Japanese thru the year's
What are the two other common chemicals used in making gun powder? Seems stupid to go into so much detail about everything else but omit that little detail
Amazing. Yet all these tech advances, could not stop Genghis Khan & his army, armed with bows made of deer horns. Of course no one, could stop his army. The Japanese seem to have been one of the few Far Eastern nations, to miss his invasion. Apparently due to the fact, he had no navy. Still an interesting video.
My game when u get GP ur op
Yet another repeat upload. Just sad
Ah, when History still meant history. Those were the days…
so let it be written… so let it be done
The Greeks invented all that way before they did.
They are not one of the oldest ancient histories. They are one of the current ancient histories. India's history is older.
The greatest innovators were the Greeks, the Greeks showed them everything they know.
great
Ah history. Still fluffing poohs sack like old times. Chiba sucks.
Incredible! History is more amazing than Fiction!
So how did they get gasoline or kerosene before the 1800s? Like did the Chinese learn to distill crude oil??
Not worth a thumbs up. China warred with itself for centuries. They have always been unstable, because of the massive regions China covers. Even inventing gun powder, their claim to fame is fireworks, they never developed a practical use for it. As for swords, the Japanese made and still make superior swords. If they are so innovative, why must they copy goods from every other culture; and they do a poor job of that most of the time.
So much about this that is dead wrong. Get back to your alien documentaries “history” channel.
The "Fire Dragon" could not work as illustrated. It would not be stable. On what historical documentation is this based? References please! I'm no engineer but, oh wait, yes I am…
Well done fellows!! Very good job all around. Ah, when History still meant history. Those were the days…
😎✌👍👌🖖🤓
Paid for by the CCP
My favorite weapon is the flame thrower because it is to the point and deadly.
Ancient weaponery and warfare has to be one of my most favorite subjects of history.
China lies about everything!!!
