Today it was my pleasure to sit down with Marco Polo. One of the great inventors of the Sung Dynasty (the true Golden Age) in 960 AD - 1280 AD. Some of the many inventions of that time period are the rainbow bridge, gun powder, allowed people to defend themselves from a distance, paper money, didnt have to carry cows and 100 grains of rice from Beijing to India, compass, allowed people to tell inwhich direction they have to head with out reading the sun or stars, blockprinting, movable type, and a mechanical clock.
