Hi, I just finished your book. The section on Khipu immediately reminded me of the Chinese knot system mentioned in the Tao Te Ching. Are you familiar with this? Have you had the opportunity to visit any archaeological sites in China?

Hi Jonathan,
Thank you for this question. I have been looking at Chinese for my new book on applying the memory methods, and at the wonderful story of the language. I have not delved into Tao Te Ching and know nothing about the knots. Are they used as a memory device? Can you point me to a reference for this. I couldn't find anything in a quick search online.
No, I have not visited any archaeological sites in China nor most of the world. There are so many fascinating sites! I have a limited budget. I have read about some of them. Have you been there?
I have recently become enamoured with Chinese art, the language and script and want to research a great deal more.
