Ancient Man and His First Civilizations

China
In China, T he f irst evidence of advanced f arming and surplus f ood production appears related to the Yangshao culture, which was f ocused in the basin f ormed by the conf luence of the Yellow River (Huang Ho), the Fen Ho, and the Kuei-Shui Rivers. T his Yangshao culture, which relates to the Xia Dynasty, is characterized by handsome painted pottery. T his culture also includes cultivated millet, rice, kaoliang, and possibly soybeans, as well as domesticated pig, cattle, sheep, dog, chicken, and possibly the horse and silkworm. T here was also ceremonial pottery vessels and elaborately worked objects in jade, f lint, bone, and stone. T his culture dates to about 3,500 B.C. Note: T here are several Pyramids in China, some quite large. However, because of the political situation, western archeologists have not been able to investigate them. Whatever inf ormation Chinese archeologists have uncovered, has not been made available. Specif ics of the ancient East Af rican migrations which led to Modern Man's presence in China and colonization of the entire world, can be f ound here: T hough as one would expect, when it comes to European and Anatolian (Turkey) settlement, it is not only inaccurate, it is downright Racist. But what would you expect? https://www3.nationalgeographic.com/genographic/atlas.html

Some may be int erest ed in t he of f icial Chinese Government t ake on t he Xia Dynast y. (This is t aken f rom t he Chinese government websit e).
T his part relates to government at the beginnings of village living and agriculture: To f acilitate the needs of survival and development, a f air, upright and capable person was chosen to lead the people in their work and to organize their def enses against invasions. T his became a process whereby Yao, f or example, recommended Shun, Shun recommended Yu and Yu recommended Gaotao, and so on. Later generations named this method of selecting a tribal head T he "Abdication System". T his period, where egalitarianism was widespread, was characterized by peace, equality and the common ownership of wealth, historians ref erred to it as the Society of Great Harmony.

As population increased, some people inevitably broke away f rom their groups to f orm new clans. With improved productivity, an individual was able to produce more than he could consume. T his meant that neighboring clan captives were kept alive as slaves instead of being killed. T he slaves were then obliged to work, and their total output became the property of their owners. In this way, private ownership evolved. As more and more people became either owners or slaves, a class structure developed within the society, thereby replacing the f ormer primitive Society of Great Harmony. T he Longshan Culture is a prime example of this period. To protect their own interests, the privileged classes abandoned the Abdication System and adopted a new political system and social regulations. Af ter the death of Yu the Great, his son, Qi, killed the appointed successor and usurped power. In so doing, he established a new era of hereditary monarchy that subsequently ruled in China f or nearly 4,000 years. T his was when the Xia (21st-17th century B.C.), the f irst hereditary dynasty in China was born. As the f irst slave dynasty in Chinese history, the Xia Dynasty began with the reign of Qi, the son of the Great Yu, and ended with the f all of Jie. With its capital located in Anyi (north of Xia County in mid-west Shanxi Province), the Xia was ruled by the descents of the Xiahou tribe. Altogether, there were 16 kings in 13 generations. {T he Shang is ref erred to as the second slave dynasty}. In their chronology, the Yangshao is indeed the original culture, but they attribute the Xia to the Longshan. Interestingly, no mention is made of dif f erent ethnicity's, and no evidence is of f ered to prove that the Xia enslaved the Mongols. When visiting the Chinese governments Website, one would note that the Chinese still imply that they descent from Peking Man (Homo-Erectus), of course this is racist nonsense. A genetic study done by researchers from all over the world: China, Japan, U.S.A. U.K. and other countries, and published in 2001; definitively answered the question of Chinese origins. T he findings were that the original Chinese were 100% pure Black African, with absolutely no outside admixture - But here again, we are talking about the original Black Chinese, modern Chinese are quite different.

T he Yangshao culture is f ollowed by the Lungshan, af ter which comes the Yin, or Shang, which dates to about 1,500 B.C, and is by f ar the better known.

A note here: We have already made clear that dates should not be taken literally. A point of comparison: the Yangshao culture is dated conventionally at 3,500 B.C, yet just across the bay in Japan, the same type people (the ancient Jomon), who migrated "f rom" China to Japan, are known to have inhabited that area since about 35,000 B.C, so be caref ul what conclusions you draw f rom dates.

For many years, the Xia Dynasty was thought to be a mythical time that the Chinese tell about as part of their oral history. T hough the Xia Dynasty existed in oral histories, there was no archaeological evidence f ound of it until 1959. T hen excavations at Erlitou, in the city of Yanshi, uncovered what was most likely a capital of the Xia Dynasty. T his site showed that these people, were direct ancestors of the Lungshan/Longshan culture. Radiocarbon dates f rom this site, indicate that it existed f rom 2100 to 1800 B.C. Despite this new archaeological evidence of the Xia, they are still not universally accepted as a true dynasty.

T he Shang, rather than the Xia, are still considered by most, to be the f irst true dynasty of China. Like the Xia, the Shang were originally considered to be a myth. T hey were discovered because Chinese pharmacists were unknowingly selling oracle bones that the Shang had created; the pharmacists were selling the bones as dragon bones. T hese bones were f irst noticed in 1899, and by the 1920's, they were traced back to Anyang provence, where the last Shang capital was f ound and excavated. Excavations were halted in 1937, when Japan attacked China. In the 1950's, an even earlier Shang capital was f ound near present day Z hengzhou. Traditional Chinese history indicates that the Shang Dynasty consisted of 30 kings and seven dif f erent capitals.

Shang Chariot and horse burials

Chariot horse burials are found from Greece to China, but they are relatively rare except in China and the bones are often very poorly preserved. T he earliest chariots and chariot burials in China date to the Shang dynasty, at around 1250 BC (Linduff 2003). T heir use in the Shang period mainly seems restricted to royalty. But during the succeeding periods the burial of chariots and horses became much more widespread. Most Shang chariots were driven by two horses. Chariots pulled by four horses did not become widespread until the Spring and Autumn period. In some situations horses were buried in pits with chariots either side by side or one in front of the other. Some pits contained only horses and others only chariots. Sometimes the horses were buried in the main tomb while the chariots where in separate pits, while at times the reverse was the case (Lu 1993). A Shang period (11th century BC) horse and chariot pit M52 from Guojiazhuang, (Anyang, (Henan). T he men and horses had been killed and lain in the pit before the chariot was lowered into it (Z hongguo Shehui Kexueyuan Kaogu Yanjiusuo Anyangdui (CASS 1988; Bagley 1999). A Western Z hou period horse pit, T ianma-Qucun (Houma, Shanxi). T he horses were apparently buried alive, with their feet tied together.

Unf ortunately there are no lif elike statues of the Xia in China, just these jade and bronze works, {that have been made available anyway}. However, there are lots of them in the Americas, and that's exactly where we are going.

Peking Man
In 192327 during excavations at Z houkoudian China, near Beijing (f ormerly "Peking") bones were f ound f rom a ~750,000 year old Humanoid dubbed "Peking Man". Many people, including some Chinese, claimed that the Chinese people descended f rom Peking Man; who in f act was actually a Homo-Erectus.

In response, in 2001, many of the worlds leading genetic researchers produced a study which clearly showed that the Chinese, like everyone else, descended f rom Af ricans.
