    https://www.independent.co.uk/news/...vilization-research-association-a9097926.html

    Here's some 'serious' quote from the scholar at the news:
    Damn european and their fake historian. How dare they try to separate themselves from the great country of china!!!

    Seriously though, I hope this guy doesn't actually have any sway with anyone since he's clearly part of some propaganda machine.

    Woah...I thought "I'm not saying that they're there but, aliens" as an explanation was wild...

    ...let it be known, however, that the true tragedy is when someone actually believes it.

    Thank you OP for giving me the perfect answer for why Isekai always use the medieval period.
    No wonder JP writers always pick medieval Europe for their Isekai!
    It is because they are hiding the fact that all Isekai are actually cultivator stories based on glorious China.
    Their MCs are obviously communist advocates who want to end the class conflict between nobles, peasants, and slaves!

    Since some people said JP novel is wish fulfillment, does that mean japanese secretly wishing to be part of the great china?

    Well, Japan certainly admired them enough to send 19 diplomatic missions to China during the Tang Dynasty.

    The article states that Europeans also invented the Egyptian Empire history as well, since when/why did the 'imperialists' do such a solid for Africa ?)

    I think he's claiming that Europeans lied about the origins of certain ancient Egypt inventions and they're actually Chinese inventions.

    Wait, did this guy write this as a serious article??

    Is China trying to say that it has historical claims to all of Europe and the America and therefore has the right to own it??
