True. I suppose what they’re trying to say is that we don’t recognise Indian and Chinese classical history as much as we should, which is valid considering it was extraordinarily sophisticated. That being said, besides knowledge and technological transfer, it does not form a core part of European history in the same way Rome and Greece does.
- jhgb 5y agoOne of the major issues IMO is the fact that there's very limited time budgeted to history in schools. If you want to learn a broad array of subjects in high school (and you usually need to do that), you won't get that many history lessons, and the world is a big place and history spans a long time. We even had problems covering just European and our national history in the time allocated. It would have been great to be able to learn more but that would have made our high school just a school of history.
