Early Xians & China
I have long suspected that the early christians had contact with the Chinese empire. At first the Romans would simply barbecue any Christians they caught by the shedload. It wasn't until they produced a cannon that they were able to take over the place. At that time it could only have been supplied by the Chinese.

Woo hoo. Fake history, fake linguistic connections, bad jokes so early in the morning (for me, anyway).
Enjoy your trip to ~Elsewhere~ :wave: |

silly, why would the chinese have gunpowder without guns and cannons, and what would the saxons be doing with an empty tube? they must have both been invented at the same time a-la the bombardier beetle.
