Another fact.... On the totem pole of tribes the Chippewa are right about at the bottom of the the pole. VERY different from many of the other tribes......Not exactly what you would call upper echelon ! To say the least.

Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
- -- Aristotle
Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
- -- The Buddha
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

"But, with the exception of the Americas, "we" all advanced beyond the stone age too. As for dates I wrote "1600+ years ago so your time period was covered. My supposed "bigotry with history" is no such thing. In fact, the bigotry with history is really nonsense about Native Americans like Costner's Dances With Wolves a complete fantasy about what settlement of the West was like.

Duh. That was Hollywood. Why would you even try to equate that with actual history?
You totally missed my point. You seem to believe that a more primitive culture deserves the dustbins of history, while an allegedly "superior" culture that like that which produced a genocidal brute like Columbus should have its "heroes" recognized. The people who wrote the Bible were just as primitive as the indigenous people of the Americas.
I dare you to advocate erasing them in favor of the far more modern followers of Islam. After all -- THEY created algebra and were outstanding astronomers. The names we use for stars today are from their language, as is the very word "algebra."

“Woe to me!” I cried. “I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, the Lord Almighty.”

There were many stages in algebra not just one! The Baylonians, Greeks and Indians all played their part. Several Arabic mathematicians introduced symbols in the 14th-15th centuries but it was Descartes that introduced modern notation like x and y. He also revolutionised maths by providing the first systematic link between Euclidean geometry and algebra using the Cartesian coordinate system.

According to former Food Network producer David Page, Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives host Guy Fieri hates gays and Jews, but loves women. He loves them so much, apparently, that he borderline sexually-harasses them.
