Chapter 51: The Great Migration, the State of Human Civilization!

It is generally accepted that 45,000 years ago, the earth began to warm during the last ice age, the sea level began to rise, and the great migration of humans living in the ice age continents of Asia and Southeast Asia began from here.

At this point, the reader may ask, what was the state of human civilization before the Great Migration? Based on the archaeological evidence and anthropological research that we have so far, we can only approximate the state and level of human civilization before and during the Great Migration. Of course. We can also deduce the necessary material and spiritual conditions of human beings from the conditions and results of the completion of the Great Migration, and thus infer the state of civilization of human beings before and during the Great Migration. The state of civilization includes the life skills and material basis of human beings, as well as the development of human beings in terms of customs, religion, language, writing, ideology and culture.

45,000 years ago, when the earth's sea level began to rise, the land bridge between Australia and Southeast Asia was submerged, resulting in the separation of the Australian red aborigines from the human subject, and since then the European aborigines have maintained their living and civilization status 45,000 years ago until 1606 AD, when they were discovered by the Spanish navigator Torles.

After the discovery of the Aboriginal Australians, archaeologists and anthropologists conducted anthropological and archaeological research on the Aboriginal Australians and Australia, and these research results basically reflect the state of human life and civilization 45,000 years ago.

Anthropological and archaeological research by archaeologists and anthropologists on Aboriginal Australians and Australia has shown that:

Life skills and status: Australian Aboriginal peoples have mastered the skills of gathering, fishing and hunting for food; He has mastered the use of fire, can cook food, can make simple pottery for daily life, can build living huts with bamboo, animal bones, thatch, animal skins and other materials to build shelters from the wind and rain, and can use animal skins and braids to make aprons and warm clothing.

Social status: When the Spanish navigator Torres discovered the European aborigines, according to their appearance and African blacks, they only felt that their skin color was lighter than that of Africans, and they were brownish-red, so people were called brown-red people or red people, at that time the Australian aboriginal population was about 300,000, they had established villages and tribes, they belonged to more than 500 tribes, each tribe was in accordance with the matrilineal clan society, set up tribal leaders and tribal officials to manage, and maintain the normal operation of tribal affairs.

Cultural customs: The Australian indigenous people have the custom of burning bonfires to hold celebrations, singing and dancing celebrations and sacrifices, and have customs such as tattoos, hair breaks, adventurous tests, and cutting various parts of the body with shells; There are adult circumcision ceremonies.

According to archaeological findings, the aboriginal ancient Australians left a number of written relics on the cliff wall, which are realistic figurative texts with lines, which are very similar to the hieroglyphs found in Egyptian monuments, which shows that 45,000 years ago, human beings have entered the age of writing and have used hieroglyphs based on realistic pictures.

In terms of funeral, the Aborigines of Australia mainly use the "curled burial" method, where the body is curled up, the knees are pressed against the lower palate, like a baby in amniotic fluid, and then the body is placed in a round hole-like tomb, with the deceased's face facing the center of the totem, east or west, buried in the tomb with soil, and leaving a small hole for the ghost of the deceased to enter and exit. This method of burial stems from the religious idea that the deceased will be reborn or enter the Western Elysium, and these funeral methods are completely consistent with the early shamanic funeral methods.

Religious status: The Australian aborigines believe that all things are animistic, the world is divided into three realms, the upper realm is heaven, heaven is the abode of God, God is immortal, omnipotent, omniscient, God has the same needs as human beings, has the nature of good and evil, as well as emotions such as joy, anger and sorrow, as well as the ability to reward and punish life and death; The Middle Realm is the place where human beings and all things reside, all things have spirits, and human spirituality and wisdom are the highest, God governs human beings and all things with self-evident laws and laws, and gives favors and punishments according to the performance of thoughts and deeds, so human beings must worship and respect those things that are beneficial to themselves, and stay away from and abandon those foods that are harmful to themselves; The lower realm is the underworld, and the underworld is the abode of all souls, and after the death and annihilation of human beings and all things, their souls will enter the underworld, and there are three ways out for the souls to enter the underworld, the first way out is to be reborn as a human being, an animal, or some kind of object; The second way out is to enter the Western Elysium and enjoy eternal bliss; The third is the never-ending wandering of the soul in the dark, musty, dirty, and corrupt world of the underworld. These religious ideas are shamanic religious thoughts, which shows that the teachings and religious rituals of shamanism have developed to a very complete extent 45,000 years ago. At the same time, ancient peoples all over the world have the custom of believing in shamanism, and 45,000 years ago, shamanism, that is, shamanism, was the only religion believed in by all mankind.

Judging from the situation of human beings mastering shamanism, 45,000 years ago, human beings were able to face life and death calmly, overcome the fear of death, and have a transcendent mental state and spiritual power that regards death as life. Faith gives human beings a new understanding of the natural world, because human beings believe that all things are animist, so human beings quickly discovered the essence of everything and the laws of nature, thus improving human ability to use and transform nature. Of course, faith has also purified the human mind and spiritual world, and planted the philosophical and moral concept of the law of cause and effect with mankind that "evil will be rewarded with evil, and good will end well". Religious thought provides a powerful spiritual motivation and courage for human beings to overcome difficulties and obstacles, and to pursue the meaning of life such as safety, health, happiness and freedom!

In terms of mastering true knowledge and truth:

Understanding of mathematics: human beings have mastered the basic concepts and basic algorithms of mathematics, mastered the basic methods of establishing mathematical models, and mastered the functional relationships and deduction theorems of various classical mathematical models;

Understanding of the laws of nature: master the basic astronomical observation methods and astronomical knowledge, have mastered the changes of the earth's climate and environment, and can accurately calculate and measure the time, such as year, quarter, month, day, hour, etc., and use this to regulate and guide human behavior.

Understanding the law of cause and effect: grasping the universal law of cause and effect in nature, everything is the result of the action of "cause", "cause" is equivalent to the seed of a plant, the embryo and egg of an animal, and the "cause" is the result of the aggregation of yin and yang, and the origin of yin and yang is Tai Chi. After the law of cause and effect is discovered and perfected, it has gradually become the unbreakable ideological foundation of human beings, it has become the ideological basis for human beings to develop agriculture and animal husbandry, and it has also become the theoretical basis for human beings to establish prediction and social relations.

Understanding of the law of circulation: grasp the universal laws of circulation in nature, such as the cycle of climate in spring, summer, autumn and winter; the process of growth and withering of plants; the process of growth and decline of humans and animals; Ordinary things are the inevitable process of becoming destroyed. The cyclic law is the ideological basis for human beings to explore and predict the process and results of the change of things, and it is the theoretical basis for human beings to establish a cyclic equilibrium system and a cyclic perpetual motion system.

Understanding of science: human beings have mastered the basic characteristics of grass, wood, stone, bone, leather, velvet and other materials, and mastered the technology of manufacturing production tools and daily necessities; mastered the use of fire, mastered kiln technology, mastered the process technology of firing food, pottery and metallurgy; Master the basic principles of mechanics, and master the basic operations such as throwing, chopping, prying, handling, building, and stabilizing; The basic idea of the material element theory began to germinate, before the Great Migration, human beings had generally believed that all matter was composed of extremely small elements, and primitive religions believed that these elements had the characteristics of earth, water, fire, and wind; Chinese yin-yang science believes that these elements are quantum qualities such as metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

Of course, it was only later that the periodic table invented in the West clarified the problem of the elements of matter, but the foundation of human scientific thought was laid 45,000 years ago.

At 45,000 years, because the Australian indigenous peoples have maintained their original living and civilization status after the separation from the human subject, we can infer that the human beings living in the ice age continent of Southeast Asia at that time generally had the production skills, life skills and civilization of the Australian indigenous peoples.

In the middle and late of the last century, archaeologists found round stone anchors off the coast of Chile in South America, and found human stone tools and other relics in Brazil, according to scientific determination, these relics came as early as 32,000 years ago, which shows that human beings at this time have the ability to go to the sea, they have mastered the ability to build ships that can resist the impact of waves, cope with bad weather at sea, and master the laws of ocean currents and monsoons, as well as bird navigation, astrological navigation and other navigation techniques, otherwise they would not have been able to cross the Pacific Ocean to reach South America. This shows that 32,000 years ago, human beings had mastered the ability and equipment to cross the ocean, when the maritime peoples who lived in the coastal areas of the New World of Southeast Asia during the last ice age began to migrate to the Pacific Ocean, the Indian Ocean and other oceanic islands and coastal areas. Judging from the fact that the maritime peoples in these regions all speak Southeast Asian Austronesian languages, Austronesian and other ancient languages of the world, have developed to a very complete and mature state.

Archaeologists and scientists have found that humans entered North America through the Bering Strait as early as 27,000 years ago, and when Europeans rediscovered humans in the Americas in the late 15th century, they had already entered the era of agriculture and animal husbandry and created the glorious Mayan civilization.

According to anthropological studies by anthropologists and archaeologists on the Native Americans, as well as archaeological studies of historical sites throughout the Americas, the Native Americans belong to the yellow race, they have fishing and hunting skills, they have the skills of growing crops, domesticating alpacas, goats, turkeys and other agricultural and animal husbandry skills, they are able to use fire skillfully, they can cook food, they can make wine from the fruits and roots of plants such as agave, they can fire pottery, and they can smelt metals such as gold and copper. They are able to treat various ailments with herbs and other herbs, rather than being mere witch doctors; They were able to build houses with stone and wood structures, as well as structurally complex and grand stone temples and pyramids. They were able to create very elaborate and intricately shaped hieroglyphs, as well as hieroglyphs made of abstract lines similar to the Chinese oracle bone inscriptions. They are able to accurately calculate astronomical data such as the year, month, and day of the Earth and other celestial bodies. They can calculate very complex irrational constants such as pi and trigonometric functions with great precision. They were able to carve realistic portraits of samurai and others.

In terms of religion, Native Americans believe in primitive shamanism, generally worship snakes, and like to use living people and animals as sacrifices.

According to anthropologists and archaeologists, Native Americans were ancient farmers and herders who migrated to the Americas from the Indochina Peninsula in Asia and southwestern Chinese mainland. The Native American civilization shows that 27,000 years ago, the farmers and herdsmen in southern Asia, the Indochina Peninsula and other southeastern Asian peoples have been in the era of agriculture and animal husbandry, and have the ability to expedition, immigration, colonization and settlement around the world, and at the same time, they have the general level of civilization of the Native Americans.

According to the results of ancient climatological research, many rivers, lakes and swamps have formed around the world after the warming of the earth, and these areas rich in water and grass are suitable for human development of agriculture and animal husbandry and settlements. Due to the continuous improvement of the global environment, between 45,000 and 27,000 years ago, the ancient farmers and herdsmen who originally settled in the southeast of Asia completed the first migration and settlement of the East Asian continent, Siberia, Central Asia, the Middle East and Europe, and other Eurasian continents.

In this chapter, we cannot give a comprehensive and in-depth picture of the state and development of human beings before and during Chinese the Great Migration, but based on the above analysis and inference, we can draw the following conclusions:

During the Ice Age, the Southeast Asian continent was the starting point of this great human migration, and the main body of human migration was the yellow race, who were the oldest maritime peoples and farmers and herdsmen of mankind. In order to complete the great migration by sea and land, they must master superb philosophical ideas and mathematical skills before migration, and they basically master the knowledge of astronomy and astronomy, geographical orientation, climate and calendar, geography and ocean conditions survey and mapping, and have the ability to make migration plans and organize migration. At the same time, they have the manufacturing technology of production and living tools and supplies, shipbuilding technology, navigation technology, agricultural technology, animal husbandry technology, etc.

In terms of basic scientific knowledge, human beings already had scattered basic knowledge of mathematics, physics, chemistry, materials science, astronomy, medicine, etc. At the same time, a fairly complete language and writing system has been established, the social division of labor and management system have been formed, and family rules, clan rules and laws have become the standards for regulating the behavior of individuals and groups.

In terms of civilization construction, mankind has established the earliest religion, shamanism, established a complete system of religious rituals and sacrifices, and mankind has also entered the early stage of development in artistic creation such as poetry, singing, music, dance and painting.

Although the super flood formed by the fusion of permanent ice sheets has submerged the homes and precious living resources of ancient humans, the great migration has greatly stimulated the fighting spirit and creativity of all mankind, and greatly expanded the space for human survival and development! If there were no ancient maritime peoples and farmers and herdsmen in Southeast Asia who migrated to all parts of the world and spread the ancient science and technology of human beings, the manufacturing technology of tools and supplies, agricultural technology, animal husbandry technology, settlement technology and social management system and other civilization fires to all parts of the world, perhaps the world would still be barren and dark, and the human beings who lived so hard would certainly not be better than the Australian aborigines, and they would certainly still live the primitive way of life 45,000 years ago, confused, frightened, trembling, and trembling in the face of the ruthless and cold nature. Despair, numbness, and finally demise!

In the following sections, we continue to delve into the development of human races and civilizations.
