The Chinese, Our Ancestors (E01)

The Chinese were the ones to first invent paper, which was an invention that changed the entire world. In addition, they also made some dangerous inventions, as gunpowder, guns, missiles and other terrible weapons. The Chinese also were the ones to first try out and fly with some simple kites, and this is how the dream of flying began. Later, the brothers Montgolfier and in modern times Lindbergh made this dream come true. Maestro is saying the right thing at the end of the episode: Inventions can mean progress, but also danger or misfortune. It always depends on the people and if they make the best of it or not.
