Quotes by Valerie Hansen (?)

“But starting around 1000, the entire region reoriented so that it could supply China,”

“Buddhists disagreed about the exact date when the world would end. No one in Song dynasty China expected the apocalypse to arrive in 1052 (they thought it would come five centuries earlier), but the Japanese dreaded 1052 as much as the Liao Buddhists.”

“We wonder how people could traverse thousands of miles on foot and forget that most people could walk 20 miles, or 32 km, a day, and for long periods. People in the year 1000 were used to this—one envoy went on foot more than 2,500 miles, or 4,000 km, between 1024 and 1026.”
― Valerie Hansen, The Year 1000: When Globalization Began
