The oracle bone belonging to the late Shang Dynasty is the earliest systematic Chinese script discovered so far, recording the 270 years of The Passage from Pan Geng's migration to Yin to the King of Sui, and the oracle bone has already possessed the method of "pictogram, huiyi, shape sound, fingering, transposition, and false borrowing", from which China can also feel the unique charm of Chinese characters.
In 2015, the American region dug up Chinese characters, more than 3300 years ago, which is the American scholar Roskamp found 84 hieroglyphs on the rock walls of New Mexico, California, Oklahoma and other places.
Even one of the petroglyphs shows a humble man offering a dog to the "third king of the Shang Dynasty", which was accepted by the king, and there are also Native American "works" around the petroglyphs, Roskamp can't help but wonder, Chinese has reached the Americas 3300 years ago? May be remnants of the Shang Dynasty?
Many people know that the Italian navigator Columbus discovered the New World, that is, the Americas, in the 15th century, and was unanimously considered by the academic community to be the first to discover the New World, but in the late 16th and 17th centuries, western academic circles began to have a wide discussion about who discovered the New World first through more information.
In the 19th century, the British translator Medhurst proposed the hypothesis of "Yin people crossing the Americas in the east", because the oldest American civilization was found in the Americas on the east coast of Mexico: the Olmec civilization, and the time of the emergence of the Olmec civilization was very close to the time when the Yin people of the Shang Dynasty crossed the sea and fled after the Zhou Wu King.
Medelhurst believes that the Yin people fled the sea, and then came to the Americas, and lived, bringing civilization to the Americas, but the Wu King's harvest is more than 3,000 years ago, and roskamp's discovery of Chinese characters in the Americas is 3300 years ago, even before Pan Geng moved to Yin.
However, although there is no clear historical record, but 3300 years ago the Yin people arrived in the Americas and left a script is not impossible, the Shang Dynasty was founded by Tang, by the time of Pan Geng, there have been ten generations of emperors, and there have been 5 times to move the capital, the reason for moving the capital in addition to the lower reaches of the Yellow River often floods, there is also a reason for civil unrest.
The "History of Yin Benji" records: "Since Zhongding, the abolition of the appropriate and more established disciples, disciples or competing for the establishment of the Ninth Dynasty, more chaotic than the Ninth Dynasty, so the princes Mo Dynasty." It was not until Pan Geng moved to Yin that the civil unrest was alleviated, and social development ushered in the prosperous era of Wuding.
Before Pan Geng, it was not uncommon for the Yin people to choose to leave due to civil strife, so it was not impossible for the Yin people to arrive in the Americas unintentionally, and it was not impossible to become the ancestors of some Indians, and many things in the Olmec civilization had many similarities with the Yin merchants, but at present, "the Indians are the remnants of the Shang Dynasty" has not yet received definitive evidence.
Perhaps after the Shang Dynasty king Pan Geng's previous writings were discovered, we can get more answers.
