What do you think about the theory that the destruction of the summer palace etc, the opium wars, was a crucial part of the wests plan to burn/destroy all remaining proof of this?(which they obviously didn’t succeed in). Might also have been the deeper plan when Matteo Ricci went there, infiltrating the higher circles, getting to know where their archives were placed etc.
Also why they had to destroy the Inkan and Mayan civilisations?

Meunis, interesting background I never considered.
I will ask Ian Hudson if he would like to weigh in.

Thanks for sharing!
Yes, it's all very interesting.
