Ancient Egypt & Ancient China: Ancient Civilizations with Similar Structure

Ancient Egypt and China had many things in common, although they never communicated with each other. Traveling merchants were capable of bridging enormous distances of up to 3,000 kilometers, but they could never have overcome the 8,000-kilometer distance between China and Egypt. And yet, these two civilizations, seen as the world's earliest ones, developed numerous similar inventions, institutions, and traditions - not only concerning instruments of daily life, but also religious rites like the death cult and other religious concepts. History of Ancient Egypt is full of mysterious events. Many of the narrations in this book are derived from the hieroglyphics. Inside the book, there are stories gleaned from the tales of great conquests and the lives of the priests, scribes and ordinary Egyptian toiling amidst the waters of the Nile River. Much of the material about Ancient China comes from the Bamboo Annals and the Records of the Grand Historian and later historians who studied those sacred texts. The Bamboo Annals were discovered in 281 AD inside the tomb of King Xian. The Records of the Grand Historian were reportedly written by Sima Tian and continued by his son, Sima Qian. Only fragments remain today, but the original may have been written just prior to 86 BC.

There are stories here about a long-lived Ancient Egyptian Civilization: about mummification and the hidden mysteries as well. Ancient Egypt was a land of magic and awesome wonder. Many of the Chinese kings mentioned here are characters in computer games and graphic novels. Those games and graphics do reflect something of the nature of these intelligent and clever people, although they may be enveloped in fantasy to some extent. China is replete with artifacts revealing the magic and mystery of this ancient civilization. And where would we be without a little mystery and magic?
