      did you know that the printing press (with movable letters) was invented in china around 1000 AD?

      the only reason why the modern age wasn’t started in china (instead of in europe) is because the chinese alphabet was too complicated for the printing press (too many letters to search from). the latin alphabet is simpler and therefore didn’t have that problem
