Yet another illusion of European superiority is in the process of being shattered. The West's Eurocentric vision of World history is being challenged on many fronts. The arrogance of claiming "European Discovery" of so many foreign lands (most of them already inhabited and boasting highly developed cultures) can be particularly galling to non-European peoples.

This is a great story. Thanks for posting it.
