谎言二：中国的“四大发明”为人类文明作出了巨大贡献
造纸术，古代埃及人就发明出来了，比蔡伦那个太监早多了。英文里的纸(paper)，不是来自中文，而是来自拉丁文Papyrus，这还不能说明问题么？拉丁文里有“纸”这个单词，说明至少在古罗马时期西方就有纸了，甚至很可能更早，因为拉丁文里一半以上的单词都来自于古希腊语。至今没有任何国际上的权威机构或学者承认纸是中国人发明的。
还是那个公共百科全书。查paper
The Chinese court official Cai Lun described the modern method of papermaking in AD 105; he was the first person to describe how to make paper from wood pulp. Archeologically, true paper had been excavated in China dated from the 2nd-century BC. It spread slowly outside of China; other East Asian cultures, even after seeing paper, could not figure out how to make it themselves. Instruction in the manufacturing process was required, and the Chinese were reluctant to share their secrets. The technology was first transferred to Korea in 604 and then imported to Japan by a Buddhist priest, Dam Jing from Goguryeo, around 610, where fibres (called bast) from the mulberry tree were used. After further commercial trading and the defeat of the Chinese in the Battle of Talas, the invention spread to the Middle East, where it was adopted in India and subsequently in Italy in about the 13th century. They used hemp and linen rags as a source of fiber. The oldest known paper document in the West is the Missel of Silos from the 11th century.
现代的实用意义上的“纸” 正是中国发明的，然后传人东亚，和中亚，直到13世纪传入意大利。 不知作者从哪儿作出的结论： 没有任何国际上的权威机构或学者承认纸是中国人发明的。
古埃及的那种“纸”是织出来的，如果这个可以作依据的话，中国人有衣服穿那天我们就有“纸”了，反正能写字呗。古罗马他们用的“纸”是用羊皮和小牛皮加工的，这跟今天的纸相比，天壤之别，只有用途一样而已。
按照作者的观点，中国的指南针早有什么用，人家说的指南针是意大利人的玩意，那才算 “真” 指南针。
到了造纸术上，来个180度转弯，你中国的纸怎么了，人家埃及人打早就有，比那个中国太监早多了。
以前就知道美国人有双重标准，批评别人，给自己留面子，今天看见一个双重标准夸别人，使劲糟蹋自个的。
