Good heavens.

I was planning on updating the Chinese History portion of megaloceros.net soon - it's been nearly a year and dammit, I have been planning the Qin Shihuangdi section. When I went to my inbox this morning I saw a message for me titled CHINESE HISTORY, so I thought 'okay, this is inspiration to work on it more quickly', right?

This is what I found instead.

Hello there..

Dear Friend... I will say something regarding the page You have prepared in related to Chinese history...

Zhou dynasty is accepted by almost all academicians in the world to be Turkic origin.....and even According to the assertion set forth by S.OGAWA , The world-famous Japanese scholar ,,Shang dynasty was also of Turkic origin and spoke Turkic..

give up of mental sickness that is looking for an Indo-European finger in the basis of every civilization founded by the others....

The history of You Indo-European nations is full of pack of lies...


Um? Excuse me? At what point in the Western Zhou entry did I say even one thing about Indo-European anything? The closest I came was this paragraph:

"The Zhou were a western tribe that may or may not have had some kind of Turkic-based language - I don't know enough to say for sure. They were a fairly powerful bunch, although they didn't have the kind of bronze skill that the Shang did. Best explanation I can offer for why they managed to take over is that the ruler had managed to dissipated a big chunk of the empire's strength. Funny how often that happens. And funny how the Zhou generally felt the same way."

Or am I reading my critic's comment wrong? Is he saying that everyone who claims a Turkic origin for the Zhou has a 'mental sickness'?

Yeesh. Well, I really should do the First Emperor now and see how many people accuse me of slander for citing Sima Qian!
