Shang Dynasty
About Shang Dynasty
The Shang dynasty, also known as the Yin dynasty, was a Chinese royal dynasty that ruled in the Yellow River valley during the 2nd millennium BC, traditionally succeeding the Xia dynasty and followed by the Western Zhou dynasty. The classic account of the Shang comes from texts such as the Book of Documents, Bamboo Annals and Shiji. Modern scholarship dates the dynasty between the 16th and 11th centuries BC, with more agreement surrounding the end date than beginning date.

Wow. Right. Because it's really interesting. The Shang Dynasty, we did think that perhaps it was like a kind of a story or, you know, some thing that wasn't actual history. Then, like you say, they did find, I think they found some bones or something with things written on them. They were called dragon bones. The idea of dragon bones were you would use these for telling the future.
