After class 2-11

In class yesterday we talked about how the Asians contributed to the creation of written text.  We talked about their inventions, their relief paintings and also how they replaced scrolls with a codex-style book.  The purpose of writing on bones was also mentioned

A lot of this information was a review, but hearing the contributions all at one time in list form was quite impressive.  Laura said the Chinese were responsible for inventing the compass, paper (toilet paper included) and gunpowder.  They also were the first culture to print using seals, chops, ink rubbings and movable type.  These guys were basically ninjas when it comes to inventions.  

I'm not sure I completely understand the differences between ink rubbings/movable type/and relief paintings.  Pretty sure I even got a question wrong in the practice quizzes.
