"We know of African kings in Constantinople on pilgrimage to Spain; we know of black Moors in Spain; we know of extensive travel of Jews from the courts of Cordoba and Damascus; we also know of black people in large cities in Germany," the historian, Sean Miller, tells me. Czech cities Olomouc and Prague were on the famous Silk Road which facilitated the trade of goods all over the world. If you plot a line between them, it runs directly through the area recreated in Kingdom Come.

That's the part that was omitted from the OP.  I'm not a historian, so I can't speak to the validity, but the actual argument was much more than "you don't know, it might have been like this?"  Although, the OP cherry picked parts of the review to make it seem like that.

So you want to argue just so you can accuse the OP of something?

Yes.  I wanted to point out that the OP took parts of the quote out of context.  And that's precisely what I did.
