What is the historical origin between Chinese civilization and Sumer in Mesopotamia?

At present, archaeological discoveries are not directly related to literature records.

According to modern archaeological data, Sumerians are yellow people. They invented the earliest hieroglyphics-cuneiform;

In the initial stage, pigs, cows, horses, sheep, crops and other things were all painted with graphics. Later, the graphics became more and more simple, so the graphic symbols were fixed to form characters, carved on the clay board with triangular reed poles, and then dried, which can be preserved for a long time (this is essentially different from the letters and characters created by the white Phoenicians later);

Their language is close to Chinese; They created agriculture, planted crops and invented plows and wheels; They dug ditches and created the earliest irrigation system;

They invented smelting technology, heated ore into liquid, and extracted bronze, which was used to make tools and weapons. However, limited by resources and technical conditions, iron has never been found, and bronzes cannot be popularized on a large scale. Most farmers still use wooden farm tools.

They created the earliest astrology, and they believed in divination. They created cities and established 12 city-states, the largest of which has 50,000 people.

The characteristics of the building are: the city wall is earth-rock structure, the house is civil structure, and dry mud bricks can be used (very different from the white stone house structure).

Everything described is very similar to Chinese civilization: China people use hieroglyphics and Chinese language; In ancient China, the agricultural system was developed and the farm tools were perfect. China's water conservancy system has been developed for a long time (Dayu controls water); China has a long history of using bronzes (but the use of iron is relatively late. 2800 years ago, Qin began to use some iron weapons to help Qin Shihuang destroy the Six Kingdoms, which was later than the Middle East and Greece at that time. China people have an ancient tradition of watching stars, especially believing in superstition (Zhouyi). The earliest Oracle Bone Inscriptions in China is a record of superstitious divination activities;

The city of China was established very early, and there was a large-scale city (Erlitou site in Henan) in Xia Dynasty. The ancient buildings in China also have the characteristics of civil structures. China people will burn bricks very early. It is said that Qin bricks are China tiles, but the megalithic structure is rarely used, which may be related to China's late use of cement (the ancient Egyptians first used cement, and later the ancient Greeks and Romans also used cement, so their buildings were relatively higher than those in China, and Sumerians never found cement).

But the life span of Sumerian civilization was short, and then it disappeared mysteriously. About 5000 years ago, due to the disunity among Sumerians, 12 city-states fought for hegemony with each other, which greatly weakened the overall strength of Sumerians and was finally conquered by foreign Sumerians (white people). Some conquered Sumerians stayed behind and established Akkad Kingdom with Sumerians. Another part of Sumerians quietly left the two river basins, and their whereabouts are unknown. Although the subsequent Babylonian civilization inherited a part of Sumerian civilization, unlike Sumerian civilization, the unique Sumerian civilization disappeared forever in the two river basins.

But not long after, about 5,000 years ago, an ancient Chinese civilization appeared in the Yellow River valley of China, which is the ancestor of today's Chinese civilization. So, does the Chinese Civilization Society have anything to do with the mysterious disappearance of Sumerians? Maybe they moved to the Yellow River valley, combined with the local yellow tribe, and continued to create civilization?

The problem is: Sumerians themselves are yellow people. Why do they live in two river basins in the Middle East instead of East Asia?

Some people think that maybe the ancient yellow race once lived in the Middle East, and later moved to the peaceful and beautiful Yellow River valley in East Asia because of the interference of the invading white people.

Different opinions are: Sumerian civilization is not necessarily directly related to Chinese civilization, because there is no Sumerian record in China's historical documents; Although China ancient Oracle Bone Inscriptions and Sumerian cuneiform are hieroglyphics, it is not certain that Oracle Bone Inscriptions is the continuation of cuneiform. Now it is only confirmed that Chinese characters are a continuation of Oracle Bone Inscriptions, but few people in China can really read most of Oracle Bone Inscriptions. Only one thing is certain: the oldest human civilization was created by the yellow race, which is inextricably linked with the current Chinese civilization.

Yellow people love hieroglyphics, and today Chinese characters in China will continue to be used for many, many years. Why did later whites give up using Sumerian hieroglyphs after the Sumerians left the Middle East? You should know that Sumerian cuneiform is the oldest and has a strong inertia and assimilation effect on ancient culture. As a result, the alphabet was created by whites and ancient Phoenicians who later appeared in the Middle East, perfected by whites in Europe, and then popularized by ancient Romans, forming the English alphabet commonly used in white countries today.

It can be inferred that Sumerians are different from whites, Sumerians are not whites, and their language and way of thinking are very different from whites. White people with relatively backward culture can't fully express their language with the advanced Sumerian cuneiform at that time, so they must create another language symbol to express and record their language.

It is not just a coincidence that Oracle Bone Inscriptions in China is the closest to Sumerian cuneiform. White people living around Sumerians refused to use Sumerian hieroglyphics, while China people living in the distant Yellow River valley in East Asia used hieroglyphics close to Sumerians. Why? This only shows that Sumerians are similar or even the same in race and language as China!

Where do Sumerians come from so far? This puzzle has never been solved.

A large number of cylindrical seals were found in Sumerian ruins. Most of them are made of precious metals or jade, and exquisite patterns carved on Xibu and seals similar to wenyu are also found in large numbers in the Indus Valley, which shows that there are some connections between Sumerian civilization and Indus civilization. Whether Sumerians came from South Asia, whether India or Indus civilization came from West Asia, we are not sure. Sumerian language is somewhat similar to Chinese and contains many Chinese phonetics. Does this mean that Sumerians are from the Far East?

Other scholars have concluded from archaeological excavations that Sumerians came from Central Asia, Caucasus or Armenia. They went south along the Tigris and Euphrates rivers and finally entered Mesopotamia. However, according to Sumerian legends, their ancestors came from overseas or Egypt.

Perhaps, with further archaeological excavations, we will have a deeper understanding of Sumerians. Of course, these are all left to future generations to solve. CFP certified analyst Yi Ding Yan Jin exclusively edited and shared.
