Asia 4/15/15

Well tonight we finished out the coarse with Asia. Amazing when you see how populated this part of the world is and yet it is steeped in history, culture, tradition, and so much more. The worlds oldest spoken language is chanted from the Brahman to apprentice for thousands of years in a language that probably died before Latin was spoken in Europe. As a history person I look at a country like China that has written records that date back to 4000 bce and is still as important to the world today as then that is incredible. The ancient temples of In-do-China and the Great Wall (the only man-made object visible from space). W e talked about the political circus that is this part of the world and our own involvement in stopping the spread of  communism in this region of the globe. Very enjoyable class tonight.
