This undated image made available by Science/AAAS shows one of the pottery fragments recovered from a layer dating approximately 20,000 years old in the Xianrendong cave in south China’s Jiangxi province. The discovery makes them the oldest known pottery in the world, archaeologists say. The findings, which will appear in the journal Science on Friday, June 29, 2012 add to recent efforts that have dated pottery piles in east Asia to more than 15,000 years ago, refuting conventional theories that the invention of pottery correlates to the period about 10,000 years ago when humans moved from being hunter/gathers to farming.

Wouldn’t you know it?

Find some 20,000 year old pottery and it says “made in China” on the bottom.

That’s a relief that some old pottery was found. Something else to think of other than the bs court ruling today.

Quite a discovery. Validated well also. The Joman pottery I saw in Tokyo was really quite sophisticated for being as old as it is. That in itself hints of earlier technology.

That’s pretty good considering the Earth is only 6-7000 years old!

The corded exterior design resembles Woodland period shards from NC.

Adding to last post: Which is evidence that ancient aliens brought Chinese ancestors to America to establish tribes here.
