To remind you of history, no one knew of the Americas until it was discovered.
Right, except for the millions of people who lived there. Besides, the ancient Hebrews were ignorant of most of the people who lived on their own continent. I doubt a "revelation" of the existence of the Chinese would have been terribly upsetting or whatever if Yahweh had seen fit to inform them of it.
