Who else wants to abandon their given names and identities with me and willingly chose to be known to history only by what you were and not who you were, your name continuing to represent nothing but your failed endeavors and broken promises long after your death 🫣

dude i just had the best idea. im going to chain my ships together end to end so theyre more stable and my men, unused to sailing, will be less seasick. this is going to be so cool

[qin-shi-huangdi]

can i have a break tonight please

going back in time to tell Qin Shi Huang that having 10,000 concubines is "Soy and reddit". His scholars spend two weeks determining what I meant by this and ultimately recommend I be trampled to death by a dozen horses

first day as a second century warlord i have my men tie branches to their horses’ tails to stir up dust and make it look like there’s a lot of us but i forget it just rained so there isn’t any dust and the enemy can clearly see there’s like twenty of us all spread out in a line

During the early Ming Dynasty, about 75 years before Christopher Columbus sailed the Atlantic, China set out to explore the Indian Ocean, putting an admiral named Zheng He in command of a massive fleet of ships much bigger than Columbus’ to visit southeast Asia, India, Arabia, and east Africa. He brought back lavish tribute from the kingdoms he visited, some of which were living, breathing creatures.

The animal that seemed to fascinate Chinese people the most during this period was the giraffe. This is probably because it resembled a mythical creature, the qilin, that was supposed to be a good omen for China and its rulers.

The Yongle Emperor, who ruled from 1402–1424, ended up in possession of two giraffes. The first was a gift from the ruler of Bengal, whose giraffe had attracted the notice of Chinese visitors. This poor giraffe was been shipped across the ocean twice, once from East Africa, and then again from Bengal to Beijing. The second giraffe was a direct gift to Zheng He from the ruler of Malindi in East Africa.

Here are some images of one of the giraffes -- these were widely copied, often with variations in the patterns on the animals' fur.
