Timelines - Egypt, Peru and China: 2600-2500 BCE - Ep 114

Published: March 6, 2021, 12:25 p.m.

b'For the last few months we\'ve been talking about a new type of episode and\\nhere\'s the first one: welcome to Timelines. This idea is all about taking an\\nanchor event or time period that pretty much everyone has heard about and then\\nlooking at what was happening in other parts of the world at the same time. The\\nidea is that sometimes these big anchor events can overshadow other really\\nimportant things. Our first episode has the building of the pyramids at Giza in\\nEgypt as the anchor. We also talk about what\'s happening in Peru and China at\\nthe same time.\\nLinks\\n * Egypt\\n * "Pyramids at Giza" from National Geographic\\n [https://www.nationalgeographic.com/history/article/giza-pyramids]\\n * "Pyramids of Giza" Britannica\\n [https://www.britannica.com/topic/Pyramids-of-Giza]\\n * Estimating Population in Ancient Egypt\\n [https://brewminate.com/estimating-population-in-ancient-egypt/]\\n * Ancient Egyptian Agriculture\\n [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Egyptian_agriculture]\\n * Caral in Peru\\n * Sacred City of Caral-Supe [https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/1269]\\n * Caral [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caral]\\n * First City in the New World?\\n [https://web.archive.org/web/20130302081237/http://www.smithsonianmag.com/history-archaeology/firstcity.html?c=y&page=2]\\n * Quipu: South America\'s Ancient Writing System\\n [https://www.thoughtco.com/introduction-to-quipu-inca-writing-system-172285]\\n * Norte Chico civilization\\n [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norte_Chico_civilization]\\n * China: Majiayao Culture\\n * Bulletin of the Museum of Far Eastern Antiquities\\n [https://archive.org/details/Bulletin15]\\n * Majiayao Culture [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Majiayao_culture]\\n * Pottery Production, Mortuary Practice, and Social Complexity in the Majiayao\\n Culture, NW China (ca. 5300-4000 BP)\\n [https://openscholarship.wustl.edu/etd/589/]\\n * A Discussion on Early Metals and the Origins of Bronze Casting in China\\n [http://www.kaogu.cn/en/Chinese%20Archaeology/3/A%20Discussion%20on%20Early%20Metals%20and%20the%20Origins%20of%20Bronze%20Casting%20in%20China.pdf]\\n * Yellow River and Yangtze River: Centers of Chinese Civilization?\\n [http://factsanddetails.com/china/cat2/sub1/item1152.html#chapter-2]\\n * https://www.britannica.com/place/China/4th-and-3rd-millennia-bce#ref589720\\n * Majiayao Culture from Gotheburg.com\\n [https://gotheborg.com/glossary/majiayaoculture.shtml]\\n\\nContact\\n * Chris Webster\\n * chris@archaeologypodcastnetwork.com\\n\\nPlease Visit Our Sponsors!\\n * Archaeology Southwest Cafe:\\n https://www.archaeologysouthwest.org/things-to-do/cafe/\\n\\nAffiliates\\n * Wildnote [http://www.wildnoteapp.com/]\\n * TeePublic [https://www.teepublic.com/?ref_id=5724&ref_type=aff]\\n * Timeular [https://timeular.com/ref/chriswebster/]'
