# History VS Propaganda

West European Propaganda wants to provide the idea that Human civilization would be eating banana fruits in caves if wasent for the europeans to create civilization and science.

That is not only a propaganda Nationalism lie, but is a aggressive one, while ancient India and ancient China was evolving in science and philosophy and performed significant discoveries like long range hospitals , heart and brain surgery and even ancient robotics, at the same time the europeans mostly the Greeks and the Romans were evolving in ways of war and brutality.

History is not a matter of perspective. readers can have views but those who write and tell the stories need to be truthful and stay on the facts.
