The document summarizes the discovery of the earliest Chinese writing system found at Anyang dating back to around 1200 BC. Divination inscriptions were found carved on turtle shells and bovine scapulas used for rituals. Bronze inscriptions contained over 3000 characters and provided records of military expeditions. Other writings were discovered on bone, stone, and jade artifacts. The writing system was used for administrative record keeping and connected several cities. While the exact origin is unknown, hypotheses for its emergence include stimulus diffusion, development from clan signs, or sudden invention of a full system.

Indus Valley Civilization
The Indus Valley Civilization was located in modern-day Pakistan and northwest India from 3300-1300 BCE. It featured large cities built with mud-brick houses along with sophisticated water and drainage systems. Trade was important, with goods imported and exported. While little is known about their culture and beliefs, the advanced nature of the IVC cities and infrastructure has led historians to describe it as one of the most advanced civilizations of its time. Preserving remains is important for continued research and study of this still mysterious Bronze Age society.

Oracle bones
Chinese writing originated from pictures representing words and evolved from oracle bones used for divination. Oracle bones were animal bones or shells on which diviners wrote questions and interpreted cracks formed by heating as answers from ancestors. Divination involved writing names and dates, characters for topics, then heating and reading cracks to foresee the future. While early writing depicted objects, characters became simplified over time and now represent concepts rather than sounds like alphabetic writing.
Hinduism And Science
Hinduism has contributed significantly to science and mathematics throughout history. Some key contributions include:
1) Ancient Indian mathematicians introduced concepts like zero, algebra, and algorithms as early as 2000 BC. They also made advances in geometry, construction techniques, and calculating square and cube roots.
2) Indian astronomy has its roots in the Rig Veda from 2000 BC and was intertwined with astrology. Figures like Aryabhatta made advances in calculating volumes and areas in the 5th century AD.
3) Ayurveda, the traditional Indian system of medicine, dates back thousands of years and focuses on living in balance with nature. Sushrut made advances in anatomy and surgery

Shang dynasty powerpoint
The Shang Dynasty ruled from 2000-1650 BCE and was the first dynasty to leave written records. They practiced divination by heating bones and turtle shells, reading the cracks to answer questions. Over 150,000 oracle bones have been found with pictographs recording divinations. The bones provide valuable insight into Shang religion, social hierarchy, culture, and fall from power to the Zhou Dynasty.
A History Of Writing
Writing originated independently in several early civilizations as a system for accounting and recording inventory, often using clay tokens and tablets. One of the earliest examples is a 4th millennium BC tablet from Mesopotamia listing goods. Pictographic writing later developed in places like Sumer in the form of cuneiform writing carved into clay around 3200 BC. Writing systems also emerged in China in the form of oracle bone script by 1600 BC and in Mesoamerica as seen in the Mayan Dresden Codex. Over time, many scripts like Phoenician, Greek, runic, Arabic, Korean, Japanese, and Indian writing systems were developed to suit various languages.

Shang dynasty updated 2009
The Shang civilization was one of the oldest in China, located along the Huang Ho (Yellow River) valley around 5,000 years ago. Some key contributions of the Shang civilization include the development of impressive bronze technology and the earliest form of writing in China through the use of oracle bones, which featured carved symbols that developed into Chinese characters. The Shang civilization was also characterized by a stratified social class system, palatial architecture, and elaborate religious rituals centered around venerating ancestors and spirits.
Does Archaeology Disprove the Bible?
Does modern Archaeology lend criticism to the narrative laid out in the Old and New Testament?
Is there any good historical evidence that the Biblical characters even existed?

Writing Rachel
Early Chinese writing began with the Shang Dynasty using symbols on oracle bones that resembled the things they represented. Over time, writing developed further by being inscribed on bronze vessels in a script called Greater Seal. Modern Chinese writing has simplified and stylized these characters, though they no longer precisely depict their meanings like the original symbols. While ancient Chinese writing represented ideas pictorially, modern English uses an alphabetic system with letters signifying sounds rather than meanings.
Shang civilization
The document summarizes the early history and civilizations of ancient China, including the Yellow River civilization. It describes the Yangshao and Longshan cultures from 5000-2000 BCE, including their farming practices, housing, and development of pottery. It then outlines the Shang Dynasty from 1600-1046 BCE and the Zhou Dynasty from 1046-256 BCE, noting their capital cities, use of bronze weapons and writing, and other cultural developments. Finally, it identifies key aspects of ancient Chinese civilization like oracle bones, calligraphy, corvee labor, and musical instruments.
Chinesealphabet
The document provides information about the Chinese alphabet and writing system. It discusses how the Chinese writing system developed from ancient pictographs into a system with over 50,000 characters. Unlike the English alphabet, Chinese characters represent whole words rather than individual sounds. The document also notes that the Chinese writing system allows people speaking different dialects to communicate through written language. It traces the origins of Chinese writing to around 4500 years ago and describes the discovery of ancient texts on oracle bones from 1500-1000 BC that provided early evidence of Chinese characters.

The document also notes that the Chinese writing system allows people speaking different dialects to communicate in writing. It traces the origins of Chinese writing to around 4500 years ago and describes how ancient texts carved on oracle bones from that era can still be translated into modern Chinese.
Prologue to Graphic Design
This document provides an overview of the evolution of early writing and graphic design from ancient Mesopotamia through ancient Egypt and Rome. It describes how the earliest written records were pictographic drawings on clay tablets in Sumeria around 3000 BCE. Over time, these evolved into the cuneiform writing system using wedge-shaped strokes. The Egyptians later developed writing on papyrus and illuminated manuscripts. Trajan's Column from ancient Rome features an early example of monumental capital letter carvings. Overall, the document traces the origins and developments of early writing systems and graphic communications.
Origin of Brahmi
The document provides information on epigraphy and ancient Indian scripts. It discusses that epigraphy is the study of inscriptions on objects like rocks, metals, bricks and more. It notes that early Indian coins and seals bore legends. Sanskrit and Prakrit were used in early inscriptions. The Indus script remains undeciphered. The document outlines scripts like Brahmi, Kharosthi, and Dravidian scripts. It provides evidence of writing from literary sources and discusses Asoka's edicts written in different scripts across his empire, highlighting examples from Girnar and pillar edicts.
The Sources of History
Young children are capable of observing, making inferences and justifying deductions. Yet these skills are rarely made use of in the History class. Children are given information regarding the sources of history without being encouraged to learn through discovery. Some natural questions that children can ask while looking at sources are “How was it made”? “How was it used?”, “How old is it?” etc. These questions lead to deeper questions like “What do we know for certain?”, “What reasonable guesses can we make, based on what evidence?” While using available sources to construct their own accounts of the past, children also learn that accounts may differ because evidence is incomplete. Through this presentation, an attempt has been made to introduce the process of historical enquiry in children, encouraging them to examine sources, question inferences and assumptions, construct their own history and above all, trigger curiosity.
Introduction pdf
The document provides an overview of ancient scripts and their decipherment, including hieroglyphics, cuneiform, Indus Valley script, Brahmi, and Kharosthi. It discusses how each script was deciphered, such as the Rosetta Stone facilitating the translation of hieroglyphics. The document also examines the fields of epigraphy and palaeography, explaining how they help study inscriptions and reconstruct history from ancient scripts. Inscriptions provide insight into political, social, economic, religious, and other aspects of past civilizations. However, epigraphical studies face challenges like weathering of inscriptions and difficulties in dating and identification.
grade-6 - studying the past -HIstory
This document discusses the importance of studying history and the various sources and time periods of history. It covers:
1) There are three main time periods in history - prehistory before writing, protohistory with few written records, and history with many written records.
2) Sources of history include archaeological sources like inscriptions, monuments, artifacts, and coins. Literary sources include religious texts and secular texts.
3) Dates in history are recorded using BC/BCE and AD/CE. Studying history is important to understand the present and how geography influenced events.
Contemporary Research on Writing
This document outlines the broad domains of writing research, including the history of writing, writing in society, writing in schooling, writing and the individual, and writing as text. It provides examples of areas studied within each domain, such as the early origins of writing systems, the history of writing technologies, and how writing has been used in law and the collection of knowledge. The document emphasizes that writing is a core element of human history and society that has evolved significantly over time through social and technological changes.
[Assignment/Research] handwriting
This document provides an overview of the history and evolution of Chinese handwriting and characters. It discusses how Chinese writing began with oracle bones around 1500 BC and evolved through different scripts over thousands of years, including bronze inscriptions, small seal characters, official script, regular script, cursive writing, and freehand cursive. It also describes how Chinese characters are formed and structured, as well as the standardization and simplification of characters that occurred in the 1950s-60s in mainland China.
breaking the epigraphical code
This document provides an overview of various ancient scripts including Hieroglyphics, Cuneiform, Indus Valley script, Brahmi, and Kharoshthi. It discusses the origins and development of these scripts, key individuals involved in their decipherment, and ongoing debates around certain scripts like the Indus Valley script. The challenges around deciphering ancient scripts are also summarized, particularly the lack of bilingual texts or lengthy inscriptions for the Indus Valley script.
Invention of writing
The invention of writing began as early as the late Neolithic period when records were kept using tokens to track transactions. As cities and trade grew, the Mesopotamians developed the first system of writing using wedge-shaped marks known as cuneiform impressed onto clay tablets. Around 3000 BC, the Sumerians invented cuneiform and Egyptians developed hieroglyphics, possibly inspired by the Sumerians. Various other early writing systems also developed independently in locations like the Indus Valley, China, and Mesoamerica. Over time, most systems transitioned to alphabetic scripts while Chinese writing remains primarily logographic.

[OReilly Superstream] Occupy the Space: A grassroots guide to engineering (an...
The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.
zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.
