Why isn't there exterior evidence? IIRC, there was some traffic between
the Roman empire and parts east; given the detail of Chinese history,
can't some Chinese emperor be matched to a Roman emperor and years be
counted off from there? It really seems like the people who would have
noticed the missing years if they really existed would be the people
trying to look at non-European history.
