I had the chance to visit the Chinese National Museum in Taiwan (stuff rescued from China before the Reds took over). It was unbelievable some of the pottery, statues and carvings from 5,000 BC, so 7,000 years ago! (Based on a quick review on the net).
Carved jade, etc. I had no idea people back then could do some of that work.
I was really amazed at those intricate balls of ivory, with all of the numerous layers of spheres within spheres and how old they were. A quick search shows to about 600 A.D.
(obviously not prehistorice - but still amazing.).
it is amazing and what a great opportunity you had!!
I am glad for you.
If China had gone in a straight line, instead of going back to square one too often after regime change, they would be SO technologically advanced.
It’s HARD to keep that straight line.
We’re having trouble after 250 years!!
We were there a few years ago. They incredible displays of many beautiful and wonderful things. If you can’t go there, look at images on the web. Their archives must be incredible. Like most museums, only a small fraction of their collection is on display at any given moment.
