World geography names

The earliest human civilization was Serbian.
 
Can we go back to calling it Peking?

I'll have to admit that I haven't done a lot of studying of the Indo-European folks that lived a long-long time ago. I quit studying that stuff way back when my Egyptian girlfriend walked out on me and went sailing off to some weird place named Rum or Rommm, or some weird name - - wait, I remember "Rome" and she went off with one of them soldier types and I just sort of went off and invented a few things to make some money. Bet you've never heard of a new thing I came up with that somebody came along and called inter-something / something-net / can't remember that name. Recent project is dealing with some really weird humans that are spreading this story that our planet is round. Now that one is funny. I mean, I had this friend named Marco something and he went and came back from some faraway place and he insisted he knew the planet was as flat as could be, except for the big hill things he said his little Fiat couldn't get over. He had to drive around those hills. And everything was as flat as a pancake. He even ran into somebody who had invented something called a camera and he showed me pictures of how flat the planet is. Proved it, he did. I do miss my old Egyptian girlfriend, though.
 
Reminds me of all the people who last their minds when Obama renamed Mount McKinley or people decided there were only 8 planets in the solar system - they hated change then, hate change now and will hate change in the future.

renaming is okay with peoples consensus - renaming the geography of other countries or the world, is strange at best.
 

Why the anti-Indian rhetoric?

People cared that Pluto was renamed a Dwarf Planet?

Some people don't care about how science defines things, they only care about how those things are referred to.

Weird, but true.
