Alexey Volchanskiy:

I read a study that said why civilisations using hieroglyphs stopped developing at some point.

Development requires the introduction of new concepts and words, and you cannot keep inventing new hieroglyphs forever, because human memory is limited. That is why western civilization with alphabetic writing had come forward.

Then why they do not switch to alphabetic writing, but stubbornly prefer to stay with their own variant?
 
Дмитрий:

Were they given a choice? Were they offered a set?

Well, there's a choice now.
 
Дмитрий:

China, Japan and South Korea have stopped developing? Well, funnily enough...


Dimitri, I don't know how old you are, don't look at the last decades, read the history of those countries before the Europeans got there. History is an entertaining thing.

Inertia and tradition. You cannot break something that has been ingrained for millennia in one year.

I know their history - what is the question? What's with the stupid way of talking in half-assed terms?

Using hierogilithic script Japan defeated the Russian Empire in the early 20th century and later the British Empire in South East Asia and went as far as Australia

 
Дмитрий:

There is a comma after "So" and a missing "we" in the second part of the sentence.

I checked my text here. There's one mistake - "forum people". But that, I think, can be attributed to jargon.

Well done! But just remember that 'so what' is a compound conjunction and is highlighted by commas.

Also, the Han Empire went as far as Bactria, and there they beat up the strongest army in the ancient world, the Romans, a couple of times. Because they used bronze swords and spears, but ancient Chinese already had iron weapons and crossbows, which easily penetrated bronze armour.

 

Marble and only marble - no cloth.
