Errors – From video “The History of Books”

The first error appears at 0:53 seconds of the video. The video shows the word “China” in Chinese. But in fact this should not be a modern simplified character. It should be the traditional characters used in ancient times. And it should be mirror reversed. As shown below:

The second error appeared at 1:27 seconds of the video. Papermaking was invented by Cai Lun in China in 105 AD. Instead of 179-41 BC. According to archaeological findings, from 206 BC to 8 BC, China already had hemp fiber paper. But its texture is rough, quantity is small, the cost is high, and it is not popular. So it has not been recorded.
