I visited Mongolia a few years ago. One site I visited was a stop on the Silk Road, so of course, the subject of Marco Polo came up.

My Mongolian guide thought that Marco Polo had brought noodles to China. I had to correct her and tell her that the Chinese invented noodles and Marco Polo brought them to Europe.

History is always a confusing mess because every new regime tries to erase the old one and reinterpret history its advantage. That's why is the species were pretty damn ignorant about our past.

The advance and retreat of the glaciers accompanied by sea levels going up and down 400 ft which has occurred five times in this current 2.5 million years old Ice Age hasn't helped our historical knowledge either.
