On Cultural Assimilation versus Annihilation It is not assimilation but annihilation to the Mayan culture The difference between the Mayan cultures to the Chinese culture is that China culture has been sustained, while Mayan culture was annihilated in a short time by the Conquistador Spaniards in the 1500’s, during the 100 years after Columbus discovered the New Continent in 1492. The stone animals give one the immediate feelings of the ancient Chinese culture. During the Neolithic migration from China to Chichen Itza there were no documents, but the artifacts to remind us. I’m not Dr. Zhu or his predecessor Ding Wenjiang, who were all great geologists, and archeologists. This leaves no team to dissect the anthropological mystery by its best discipline work. Mayans disappeared because of annihilation. Chinese suffered much annihilation, but throughout history, the other invading cultures crumpled and they got assimilated into the Chinese culture out of admiration. “The Chinese culture is graceful in that the conversion was spontaneous, without coercion.” – By Elizabeth Su By contrast, a convert from Islam to Christianity is punishable, but obtained asylum from Italy. When the Mongolians ended their brutal regime of 89 years, simultaneously, the Renaissance started and the Ottoman Empire superseded the Byzantine civilization. The Venice Byzantine eight horses were taken back by Napoleon to Paris. Those eight horses have Chinese characteristics in it, much like the Mayan stone guard auspicious animals. I feel that this is a touch of China. When the world came to the aid of Greece independence from Ottoman Turk Empire, 1821, that is 400 years after Ottoman’s enslavement over Greece, and in China Ming liberation 1368 from Mongol’s brutal control In other words, when in 1368 China Ming struggled and took on battles to overthrow Mongolia’s tyrannical control, Greece fell into the hands of the Ottoman Turkish Empire. China’s liberation movement swept through the entire Chinese continent, and moved the balancing force in Europe and served later 400 years later the Greece independence spirit. China never was absent of the World history and did contribute to the advancement of the European renaissance since Ming’s help to assert the rights to be not at the other race ranking bottom system. It freed the entire country from the dominance of an invasion of 89 years. Mongolian is part of assimilated Chinese culture now. Chinese is a civilization of assimilation for centuries.
