In the third episode of our series examining China's earliest societies, we explore the increasingly complex societies of the Middle Neolithic. Over the course of 2000 years we see the emergence of early rulers and religious figures throughout the cultures of Northern and Southern China, along with the appearance of ritual architecture and prestigous burials on an unprecedented scale.

    WOW, I am facinated by the Sahera being much greener, and before that the bottom of a ocean with whal,e bones found in our present day desert, do not know the Aribic name or Egyption name but it refers to some thing like valley of bones? So a much greener time, that I need to refresh myself on. Another thing is this was not really to long ago, geologicaly speaking. The African plate, I just remembers moving North into the meditranian sea closing the water in a huge basin that evenualy dried up. Interesting.

    No...agriculture has not too much to do with it. When a tribe grows too large and so ruling/solving problems becomes more difficult and time-consuming and demanding different skills, then a 'prime leader/premier/prime-minister/king/chef=sheriff=shariff-chief/boss, etc.. first chosen but soon (the family is used to special treatments and wealth) became a heriditary lucrative job. Working/fighting was no longer needed. 24hours protection was requiered. In no time an 'elite-group' with special treatment and beneficials was established. In my opinion, an automatic irreversable mechanisme. Also...after wars, the captured 'non-humans' served as dispensable slaves. The lowest 'class', the 'dalith's', the deplorables.

      The reason for growth might have been 1)fertile population 2)fertile soil and nature 3)an agressive attitude and hunger for wealth and power 4)'sharing' goods and food was not a cherished lifestyle, certainly not with foreigners. Anything changed in our attitude?

    18:00 I thought dragons were mythical, but this made me curious so I looked it up. It turns out there is a real animal called a Chinese dragon, it is a local alligator species. It is endangered now, but at that time it would have been common. Look up Chinese alligator to see pictures of the real thing. They get to be about 5 to 7 feet in length and up to 80 to 100 lb. Not mythical after all! No wonder dragons are considered water animals. They are real live alligators. LOL

    Im really loving this birth of china series! I hope it continues for a long time to come. Curious about 2 main things, A) how much "traditional historiography" will be covered going forward. Im hoping very little personally. I hope/expect this video series to stick purely to the archaeology. And B) how the next video(s) will be divided in terms of years covered. Will this next video cover the pre-erlitou culture or cover it itself? Personally, I think an entire video on the 3000BC-2000BC period is very possible, so I hope it takes that narrower focus. Leave the Erlitou culture for a video further down.

    Hierarchy describes an organization, a company, a state. Inequality is a whole different kettle of fish. Hierarchies that result in mass inequalities throughout a community are tyrannies.
