It’s [Fact] Friday!

Today’s fact is:
Fact! The compass was invented in China.
Emperor Du Ea’st is credited with inventing the magnetic compass in the fourth century BC. This is an indisputable fact the entire world accepts, although some foreign hostile forces have suggested that the Song Dynasty book dated 1040-44AD describing an iron “south-pointing fish“, or the ‘Dream Pool Essays‘ of 1088AD, or the internationally-recognised ‘Pingzhou Table Talks‘ of 1119AD are a more accurate source of information. These anti-China forces are clearly misguided and do not have a correct understanding of history.
Neither, apparently, do the ancient Olmec peoples of 1400BC, who made the ridiculous claim that a “polished lodestone bar with a groove at one end, that consistently points North” is a compass, when it is a known fact that a polished lodestone bar looks nothing at all like an iron fish.
Or the big-nosed Europeans, who not only claim to have invented the compass quite independently of their Chinese betters, but then go on to lie about being the first to understand the full implications of it’s use. Plus they go on about compasses pointing North, when everybody knows they point South (and maps have East at the top).
The Chinese have always understood the full implications of the compass: To Harmonise The Environment In Accordance With The Geomantic Principles Of Feng Shui And The Teachings Of Mao Zedong Thought, Deng Xiaopeng Theory, Three Represents, And Scientific Development In An All Round Way.

I think Olmec peoples just copied the Emperor Du Ea’st’s invention and called it their own. The only claim the Olmec peoples had was invention of a time machine to facilitate this copying.
MyLaowai said
And when you consider that the Olmec also stole the Time Machine from the Chinese, then the case against the them is pretty strong.

These foreign lies are all shameless to the extreme.

Even a little bit and I believe that the wheel was also coined in China, and Yuri Gagarin to the Leonardo da Vinci were Chinese.
MyLaowai said
No, Yuri Gagarin was Russian. But the Chinese were the first into space, according to their propaganda.
Actually, I think the Chinese may have actually come from space, somewhere in the Handromeda Galaxy. They brought with them a super-strain of the clap known as the Handromeda Strain. That’s what they are referring to when they talk about their “culture”.

Behold, now I understand why the Chinese so much – they are in small quantities to invade us from space ….
