"An Astrolabe was a Medieval blackberry"
(Offensive to Medieval people)
"Spanish silver was "The American Express" of the 16th century".
(Since when was a credit card a pinnacle of civilisation?)
"Persian chariots were the Ferraris of the Ancient world."
(I'd rather have a chariot myself.)
The three quotes above are some near exact quotes from:-
EBC RADIO4's - "A History of Ethnocentrism and Eracentrism in 100 Objects".
Capitalist propaganda as well.
