What's odd is no mention of any of the Asian geniuses.

I like Sun Tzu of the Art of War, and the Japanese who wrote about sword fighting. Names quickly leave my mind as my posts show.

Confuscius was also fascinating and few other more minor.

Be that as it may I know of no significant leaders from S. America beyond Simon Bolivar, and Africa, outside of Madela, is a large void for me.

Seattle has an impressive bank of knowledge regarding Rome. One the Utes over there has an impressive knowledge of Islam, with many of their great thinkers.

This is a major qualm I have with American education, we, and I include myself therein, are so ignorant of world history and world knowledge, it's downright embarrassing.

How many are familiar with much of Russian history? I'm not.

German History, a little being a German language major.

French a tad.


But China, Japan, Thailand, Indochina, Australia, S. American, Africa, Egypt, Babylon?

Most of us are ignoramuses.
