> But he is not complaining that we use the Gregorian calendar. Yes, he is: >>> Yet this "world" history uses Europe's reference point [of BC/CE] as universal. It wouldn't make sense to use any other than the Gregorian calendar for this map, and it also wouldn't make sense to mix different calendar systems. > He is pointing out that is just one calendar among many […] But it's not. The Gregorian calendar is the calendar in world wide use today. Giving dates in BC/CE is not an expression of Eurocentrism, it simply reflects reality. | ||
