I really know nothing about it, Ram. Interesting tidbit though - once I was researching eggplants to help a kid with a botany class and it turns out the ancient Chinese domesticated the eggplant.

I was trying to help the 6th grader with his China booklet. You usually know something about everything so I thought for sure you would know about this too.

The eggplant fact is interesting though.

I do keep a wealth of useless info in my noggin; but I really only started having interest in China in about 300 AD when it became warring states. Sun Tzu rocks. But Chinese scribings on "oracle bones" in 1500 BC? That really just never interested me. Back then most of the writings were to predict the future. And of note is that Chinese didn't even start doing that until about 1,000 years after the Egyptians. They were slow to evolve.
