Gotta be careful with that. How do you know the measles back then wasn't resistant to your modern vaccination? Evolution can be a bitch.

I mean, people in the past weren't drooling morons.

gently caress it, go back to 200 BC. People already know the world is round and it's approximate circumference, that magnetism is a thing even if they don't call it that (naturally occurring magnetite attracting iron), etc...

Introduce the compass for navigation 1200 years early and become famous. Easy, because it already exists in China they just don't know it can be applied to navigation yet.

A major snag is assuming that a culture without a compass can't do that kind of navigation. For the Chinese there just wasn't much need; they were mostly terrestrial and didn't find much reason to go out to sea all that much.

If you want to talk about a culture like, say, the Polynesians there used to be people arguing that some archaeological finds couldn't possibly have had any relation to them because they were just too far away from where the Polynesians originated. They didn't have ships big enough, never invented the compass or the sextant, and just didn't have all the sailing innovations that led to Europeans taking to the deep ocean. Then later somebody actually bothered to ask current Polynesians about it and look closer and it turned out that the reasons they didn't invent those things was because they didn't need them. Turns out they're just really, really loving good at the ocean and figured out other ways to get around it.

And while they didn’t really understand germs they understood the necessity of keeping wounds clean and that dirt in the wound would cause infections. William The Black was known to have his archers dip their arrow heads in dirt and poo poo before battle for that very reason.
