@lord_gorlock_62, also what do you think of socrates quote against writing: "Why did Socrates oppose writing? In the process Socrates faulted writing for weakening the necessity and power of memory, and for allowing the pretense of understanding, rather than true understanding."

@lord_gorlock_62, isnt paper a chinese invention?

@GenX Are you really that stupid? Northern Europeans have had writing for well over 6,000 years. The Frisians main export was paper, and their civilization didn't start to decline until about 4,000 years ago. The Ethiopians, on the other hand, never developed their own system of writing, and only started reading and writing when it was brought to them from other countries about the same time. So, Northern Europeans were already busy writing their histories by the time writing was imported to the Ethiopians. Get your facts straight before trying to be clever. People who are better educated than you can see right through it.

Northern Europeans never had a written language (fact). But Ethiopians did =)

Yawn
