Not much to say, there are two big melons in this article: (1) Sanxingdui civilization and Sumerian civilization both worship the sacred tree, what is the mysterious internal connection between the sacred trees on both sides? (2) Who are the mysterious black-headed people in the Sumerian civilization? You must know that the Oriental people are black-haired and yellow-skinned.
There are also a lot of small melons interspersed during the period, please read them carefully to prevent missing important information and affecting the eating of melons.
Sanxingdui is in the Guanghan region of Sichuan, China, while Sumer is located in the lower reaches of the Euphrates and Tigris rivers in present-day southeastern Iraq.
If you want to eat the melons of Sanxingdui and Sumerian civilization, it really takes a lot of effort, but as a senior melon eater, you have to eat big melons if you eat melons.
Since I want to eat melons, I have to find the connection between Sanxingdui and Sumerian civilization, and after my careful analysis and rational argumentation, I finally found the relationship between the two.
A bronze sacred tree connects these two civilizations
Sanxingdui once unearthed a bronze sacred tree, a total of eight, which has been identified as belonging to the late Xia Dynasty in China. The tree is 3.96 meters tall and is divided into three layers of foliage, each with three branches on top.
On top of the flowers and fruits on each branch, there stood a bird, a total of nine. According to the records of the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", there should be a big bird in the damaged part above.
The Classic of Mountains and Seas describes three kinds of sacred trees, the first of which is the buttress in the east, where the sun rises. Wakaki in the west is where the sun sets. There is also a building wood in the center, which is a place to communicate between heaven and man.
Looking at this bronze sacred tree, it properly integrates Fumu, Ruomu, and Jianmu together.
The entire design concept of the Bronze Sacred Tree has been verified in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas":
There is a valley called Wenyuan Valley, there is a buttress on the soup valley, one is said to be a square to, one is said to be a square out, all of which are contained in Wu. ——"The Classic of Mountains and Seas: The Great Wilderness East Classic"
From this account, it can be concluded that the ancients did not realize that the earth revolves around the sun. They simply thought that the sun was carried by a bird, flying from east to west, and where did the bird stop?
In addition to this, there is another passage:
There is Fuso in the Yugu, a ten-day bath, in the north of the black tooth. In the water, there is a big tree, which is on the lower branch for nine days, and the upper branch for one day. ——"The Classic of Mountains and Seas: Overseas East Longitude"
If you analyze it carefully, the Fuso in this refers to the Fumu, and there are ten sacred birds living on it, nine of them live below, one lives on the top, and the one that lives on the top is the sun we see.
Looking at the bronze sacred tree on the other hand, there are also nine birds on the sacred tree, which fall on the three layers of branches below, with a total of 9. In addition to these nine, there is also a defect on the top of the sacred tree, and if nothing else, the top of the sacred tree is that kind of big bird.
In addition to this big tree, there are many small fragments of the sacred tree, which can be seen from the details, which coincides with the idea of communicating with heaven and man in ancient times.
From this point of view, "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" is not a brain-opening book, but a book that is quite close to reality, but many things recorded on it are beyond modern people's cognition.
Having said so much, it is just that the Sanxingdui civilization has a certain degree of connection with the Classic of Mountains and Seas, so what does this have to do with the Sumerian civilization?
Let's take a look.
Under the bronze sacred tree, there is also a dragon, could it be that this dragon has a connection with the Sumerian civilization? There is such a passage in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas":
There is a spiritual mountain, there is a red snake on the wood, the name is the worm snake, the wood food. - "The Classic of Mountains and Seas"
So, I deduced that this wood-eating snake was the "dragon" under the sacred tree. And this snake did develop a connection with the Sumerian civilization.
Why did the snake and the sacred tree become the link that unites Sanxingdui and Sumerian civilizations?
To explain this, we need to start with the legend of Etana in the Sumerian civilization.
Professor Wang Qinghua of Sichuan University once put forward the idea that "the Bronze Sacred Tree is telling the story of Etana".
One such myth is recorded on a Sumerian clay tablet about 4,200 years BC. The protagonists of this legend are the snake, the tree, and the eagle.
On the top of a big tree, there lived an eagle and a snake, and the eagle could eat snakes, but his personal strength did not allow it, so he was defeated by the snake and finally imprisoned in the tree hole.
If nothing else, the eagle will starve to death in the hollow of the tree, and if that is the case, the story is over.
Just when the eagle was hungry and his eyes were full of stars, a king passed by a big tree, and when the eagle saw it, he quickly called the king. Then he talked to the king about the sale.
The king had no heirs, so the eagle promised the king that if he could rescue him, he would take the king to heaven, and then he could ask the Anunnaki in heaven to give him an heir.
When the king heard this, he let the eagle out with the idea of trying it, and then the heavenly Anunnaki gave him an heir.
This king was the Sumerian king, the first king to rule the world, Etana.
He ruled the world for 1,500 years. His heir was Barry, who also ruled for nearly 400 years.
The eagle in the story is the Sumerian Anthur bird, and the snake is the Dark Maid Lilith, and this tree is the tree of life worshipped by the Sumerians.
In Professor Wang's view, Sumerian mythology may have influenced the early civilization of Sanxingdui.
This does not mean that the Sumerian civilization spread to the mysterious East, nor does it mean that the Sumerian civilization is the source of Sanxingdui.
Who influenced whom did the Sumerian civilization and the Sanxingdui civilization?
Nominally, the Sumerian civilization is considered to be the earliest civilization, but this was a conclusion reached before the excavation of Sanxingdui. As Sanxingdui continues to excavate, I believe that Sumer and Sanxingdui belong to the same civilization.
Because the Sumerian civilization did not appear out of nowhere, it was also created by a group of mysterious blackheads. Could it be that this group of blackheads and the earliest Sanxingdui people originally lived in the same tribe?
Such an assumption is not unfounded. You must know that in the ancient continent, maybe these plates were really together, and there was such a group of people living there.
Then as it developed, there was a catastrophe that caused the group to move to different places. Thus, this ancient civilization began to spread out. And their beliefs remain consistent.
Then let's follow this line of thought and continue to push down.
Then look for clues from ancient books such as "Classic of Mountains and Seas", "Historical Records", and "Huayang National Chronicles".
There is a record in the "Huayang National Chronicles":
Shu is the country, caused by the emperor, and is confined with Ba. To the Yellow Emperor, his son Changyi married the daughter of the Shushan clan, and gave birth to a son Gao Yang, who was the emperor's concubine; Lixia, Shang, Zhou, King Wu cut down, Shu and Yan.
The article is relatively long, picking up the important ones. The ancient Shu kingdom existed a long time ago, and by the time of the emperor, he also married a wife of the Shushan clan for his son and gave birth to a son, Gao Yang.
Gao Yang was the nephew of the Shu people, and later he was Zhuan. As a result, he also sealed many close relatives as officials in Shu. The ancient Shu Kingdom experienced the third dynasty of the Xia and Shang dynasties, and when King Wu conquered, the Shu Kingdom also participated.
As mentioned above, the son of 颛顼 is called 颧, who is Kun, this is Dayu's father. It can be seen from this that Dayu himself also has the blood of Shu.
And in Sima Qian's records, Dayu ascended to the throne by relying on the power of Shu, and Sima Qian came to the conclusion that "Yu Xing is in Xiqiang".
It can be seen that the Sanxingdui people have a great relationship with the ancient Qiang people in the northwest mountains.
The ancestor of Sanxingdui, the silkworm cong, also migrated to Shu in the Minshan area at first, where the silkworm cong raised silkworms and rejuvenated agriculture and established the ancient Shu country.
The two accounts are connected, so we can make a bold assumption:
In the mountains, there lived a group of ancient Qiang people, some of whom migrated to Shu led by silkworm cong, while the other part migrated to Shaanxi.
Although they were separated, they were connected by marriage.
And the decline of the ancient Shu Kingdom is also related to the "Warrior King Expedition" mentioned above. From ancient times to Xia and Shang, Shu was a very strong force.
But this time they helped King Wu, and they were on the wrong side.
After the success of King Wu's war, he turned his head and chased after the Shu army, and the national strength of the ancient Shu State turned from prosperity to decline, and during the Warring States Period, it was destroyed by the Qin State and became the granary of the Qin State, and the ancient Shu civilization came to an end.
So in this ancient Qiang people, only migrating to the east, is there another tribe migrating to the west?
Walk, walk, all the way to the valley of the Two Rivers, which was a small village at first, then slowly developed, establishing the Sumerian civilization, creating cuneiform, and establishing the earliest city-states.
In the Sumerian records, it is also mentioned that the civilization was founded by a group of black-headed people, who were not Europeans, but to a large extent, the Qiang branch of the Northwest Plateau.
According to records, the Qiang people did make a great migration, they believed in the white color, revered the white, and as it developed, the white stone became the representative of the sun god.
The Sanxingdui civilization and the Sumerian civilization all have a special belief in the sun.
The Sumerian civilization and the Sanxingdui civilization are not in the same timeline
Many people may refute me, claiming that the Sumerian civilization originated much longer, while Sanxingdui is only more than 4,000 years BC.
In fact, there is a detail that many people do not know, in the process of Sanxingdui excavation, there is an unexpected harvest.
When the Sanxingdui ruins were excavated in 2016 and the outline of the ancient city of Sanxingdui was determined, two corpses were excavated under the ancient city wall north of Sanxingdui.
After examination, these two corpses turned out to be the remains of ancient people 6,000-8,000 years away from today. Although the Sanxingdui civilization was estimated from the cultural relics more than 4,000 years ago, from the human bones, they did belong to the same period as the Sumerian civilization.
Therefore, I boldly speculate that the ancient Qiang people at that time divided into at least seven or eight directions when they migrated, and fortunately, three of them reached different regions and survived separately.
From the speed of survival and reproduction, it can be seen that the group of people in the Lianghe River Basin has developed relatively rapidly, while the Sanxingdui people have developed more slowly, and the slowest is in Shaanxi.
They are connected to each other, communicate with each other, have something in common, and gradually show their own style.
From this, it can be concluded that the Sanxingdui civilization and the Sumerian civilization all originated from the ancient Qiang people, and where the Qiang people originated, I don't say, you can check it yourself......
