![Chinese civilization began in the Central Plain and Yellow River Basin to
one side of the Yantze River. This was in an area made accessible by the
eventual draining of post-glacial floods subsiding sufficiently to permit
human occupation near 4000 BC. The first inhabitants were African and
typified in the column of figures to the left. This culture emerged, archeo-
logists say, “full-blown” showing no “development” as it was “complete.”
It proved to be a transplant, a microcosm, of both near eastern and African
culture with pottery, sun-dried bricks, agriculture, pastoralism, bronze [2],
jade [3], silver [4], and gold-working technology (copied by the Chinese),
similar class structures, and artistic motifs. This, focusing on the Shang
(see pictures in column) form what can be called the Mother Civilization of
China - Chinese have traditionally denied the point. Pictures tell the truth.
Cattle-raising, pastoralism, began in Africa (see [Footnote]). The set of six
images above the left column of faces shows identical Neolithic pastoral
art and society that spread from Africa (pics. 1, 3) to Anatolia (pics. 2,
5), to China (pics. 3, 6); with man and cattle in the first row [B], [C], and [E],
and cattle-head altars in the second. Note both red and black figures of men
in [A], [C], and [D]. [Footnote] Olivier Hanotte, et. al., African Pastoralism:

The two pictures directly above show, in my opinion, an Egyptian influ-
ence or presence. This is seen in the pyramids guarded by an immense,
imposing lion. Next. To their right are rows of uniform statues like those
found on the Avenue of Rams in Luxor, Egypt or the Avenue of Lions in
Fayoum, Egypt. Then we come to the double lions below: one pair from
Egypt, the other, stylized lions, on the gates of Shang - the center-face
appears Negroid, not Asian. The lively bronze of dancers at this column-end
is from the West Han Hsi Dynasty (206 BC to 220 AD). Most Chinese folk
tales, even gods, have African equivalents. Chinese family names like
Kung, Mao, Kang, Gao, Kim, Jang, Huang, Shanghai, Yao, are African tribal
names. (names found in book of Yale anthropologist: G. P. Murdock, Africa
– its peoples and their cultural history, (McGraw-Hill, Inc., New York, 1959).
Following the African foundation of earliest civilization in China, for some
hundreds of years, the population became phenotypic mulatto, meaning
to say the facial features of the African and Asian blended in single
faces (see pic. No. 9). Finally, the Asian would come to dominate carrying
on the progress of civilization established by Africans...art, art history, Paul Marc Washington, paleoneolithic@yahoo.com](02-16-600-06-04.jpg)
