Shang
1750 - c. 1040 BC
There are three things to know about the Shang:
1. We are the most advanced bronze-working civilization in the world
2.Shang remains provide the earliest and most complete record of Chinese writing, scratched out on the shoulder blades of pigs for oracular purposes
3.We are quite possibly the most blood-thirsty civilization. We liked human sacrifice -- a lot.
If a king died, then more than one hundred slaves would join him in the grave.
Some of them would be beheaded first.
Some of them were just thrown in still alive. We also did human sacrifice for building consecrations and other ceremonial events.
We have a very odd system of succession:
The Kingship passed from elder brother to younger brother.
When there were no more brothers, then to the oldest maternal nephew.
