Did the Xia Dynasty have anything to do with ancient Egypt? There's a basis for that.
The Xia Dynasty is recorded in many ancient books (including Sima Qian's "Records of History"), and we have always believed that the Xia Dynasty existed, not a myth.
However, there has been no "one hammer" to prove the actual object of the Xia Dynasty. The oracle bones of the Shang Dynasty exaggerate the flowers of the Shang Tang, but unfortunately, in the oracle bones, there is no record of the Shang Tang destroying the Xia Dynasty.
Looking through the oracle bones, there is no record of the Xia Dynasty; looking through all the archaeological sites, it is impossible to determine whether it is the "Xia Dynasty".
Some people have a big brain hole, do we look for it elsewhere? If the scope of the Classic of Mountains and Seas is the whole world, there are many places to find.
Some people have set their sights on ancient Egypt. After careful exploration, I really found the following basis.
First, text. The oracle bone resembles ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs, and it is speculated that the oracle bone script evolved from ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs.
Second, bronzes. No bronzes before the Shang were found, and the bronzes of the Shang suddenly appeared, and the key is that the material radioactivity is very similar to that of ancient Egyptian bronzes.
Third, genes. It is said that there are some characteristic genes that are only found in Egypt and China.
Fourth, it looks similar. The figure of the pharaoh on ancient Egyptian artifacts is quite similar to that of Chinese.
Fifth, rivers. In many records, there was a large river in the Xia Dynasty that was north-south, and the more famous river at present is only the north-south direction of the Nile River.
In addition, further interpretation of the lineage of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors and the Xia Dynasty seems to be almost all corresponding to the ancient Egyptian pharaohs.
As a result, the saying that "the Xia Dynasty was ancient Egypt" came out, is the above evidence reliable? Reliable or unreliable put aside.
From the aspect of "bold assumptions, careful arguments", there was no problem. But it is clear that the evidence that "the Xia Dynasty is ancient Egypt" has not yet had the effect of a hammer.
No, there is a Chinese scholar, after publishing an English paper, foreign netizens first did not agree, let alone domestic.
Where did the Xia Dynasty come from? Where did humans come from? Who isn't curious? With the idea of exploring history, it's okay to look for answers. However, in order to be famous, some people deliberately make a whimsical idea is not good.
In fact, another theory about the Xia Dynasty is more reliable.
Some people think that Xia Shang coexisted at the same time, but Xia died earlier than Shang. Xia Dynasty is the name of later generations, and the Shang Dynasty people have other names for Xia Dynasty.
For example, in the records of Yao Shunyu and the Xia Dynasty, how are the various forces called? There are Hu clans, male clans, Shu clans, Xin clans, poor clans, and so on.
In the records of the Shang Dynasty, what are the names of the various forces? Ghost side, tongue side, earth side, dragon side, Qiang side and so on. When the territory of the Zhou Dynasty expanded and merged the remnants of the Xia Dynasty and the Shang Dynasty, the various forces became princely states.
If the scope of the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" is considered to be only a small piece of the Central Plains, everything is easy to explain. The Xia Dynasty and the Shang Dynasty had different development trajectories, and it is likely that the culture and language were different. The Shang Dynasty belonged to the "xx clan" of the external forces of the Xia Dynasty, while the Xia Dynasty belonged to the "X side" of the external forces of the Shang Dynasty.
Historical records record that the Shang Tang "Battle of Mingtiao" destroyed the Xia Dynasty. The "Mingtiao" is in southern Jin, and the rivers in the north-south direction of Xia dynasty are not the Yellow River in the Shanxi and Shaanxi sections?
Then, the Shang Dynasty's name for the Xia Dynasty is likely to be "Dragon Fang". This is the explanation why there is no record of "Xia" in the oracle bone, and there is a record of "Shang Dynasty Dragon Destroying Fang" in the oracle bone.
If this were to be established, the Xia Dynasty would have been able to find it in Shanxi. Of course, it is not excluded that the Xia Dynasty, which was squeezed out of Shanxi by the Shang Dynasty, ran to Shaanxi to do the "ghost fang", and the "ghost fang" is recorded more in the oracle bones.
[Erzhu Young Marshal said]
A hundred years ago, if you had said, "Catch the moon in nine days, catch turtles in the next five oceans." The little sister next door, Junbao, thinks you're talking nonsense. Now our Chang'e really went to the Moon Palace.
Whimsical ideas, do not believe, do not believe fully. What if one day you find real hammer evidence?
Which piece the ancestors want to live in, we really can't control. I can't control where to live, but I can't stop curiosity.
Don't stand the mention of "alien civilization", it is normal to have a little bold idea. People's brain holes are not only like "the Xia Dynasty is Egypt", "importing" the origin of civilization; "the Battle of Makino, the fall of the Shang Dynasty, and the descendants of the Shang Dynasty ran to South America", is this not "making exports"?
