History of china - All Under Heaven - Part 1


This Video is here to educate you upon the history of the potential of a world super power. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Beware! Quality is overwhelmingly high! China, one of the countries that can boast of an ancient civilization, has a long and mysterious history - almost 5000 years of it! Like most other great civilizations of the world, China can trace her culture back to a blend of small original tribes which have expanded till they became the great country we have today. It is recorded that Yuanmou man is the oldest hominoid in China and the oldest dynasty is Xia Dynasty. From the long history of China, there emerge many eminent people that have contributed a lot to the development of the whole country and to the enrichment of her history. Among them, there are emperors like Li Shimin (emperor Taizong of the Tang), philosophers like Confucius, great patriotic poets like Qu Yuan and so on.

ENGINEERING AN EMPIRE CHINA (History Channel program) Part1/3


For over 4000 years, the world's greatest empires have come and gone. Only one has survived the test of time: China. Century after century, China's regal emperors mobilized immense peasant armies to accomplish engineering feats unparalleled in human history. Among the groundbreaking innovations of the ancient Chinese were the world's longest canal, its most complex and effective irrigation system, and a naval fleet mightier than all those of Europe combined-but, none can compare to the colossal 4000-mile wall that stands as the most ambitious construction project ever built. From such heights came spectacular death spirals, as dynasty after dynasty-consumed by vanity and greed-was stripped of power by the people it had ruled.

Grand Ceremony Video: China celebrates 62 years of Communist rule


The People's Republic of China celebrated the 62nd anniversary of its founding on Saturday with a colourful ceremony at Beijing's Tiananmen Square. Chinese leaders laid floral tributes at the Monument to the People's Heroes in the centre of Beijing, built in honour of people who died during China's bloody civil war in 1949. The war resulted in the Communist Party coming to power and the Nationalist Party fleeing to Taiwan to set up their government there. Chinese leaders as well as hundreds of citizens walked around the Martyrs' Monument, viewing the relief sculptures depicting scenes of the history of China. Thousands of people from across the country gathered earlier on Saturday at Tiananmen Square to watch a flag raising ceremony marking their October 1 National Day. By five o'clock in the morning, before sunrise, a 100-thousand had already gathered to watch the event. Many had come from distant provinces such as central China's Hunan and Anhui, and north China's Hebei. Some had even come to the square on Friday night to ensure themselves prime spots from which to view the ceremony. RT on Twitter twitter.com RT on Facebook www.facebook.com

Forbidden History - Mummies of China


In the late 1980′s, perfectly preserved 4000-year-old mummies began appearing in a remote Chinese desert. They had long reddish-blond hair, European features and didn't appear to be the ancestors of modern-day Chinese people. Archaeologists now think they may have been the citizens of an ancient civilization of Aryans that existed in the east. The mummies had long noses and skulls, blond or red hair, thin lips, deepset eyes, and other unmistakably Caucasian features. Dr. Victor H. Mair of the University of Pennsylvania said, "The Tarim Basin Caucasoid corpses are almost certainly representatives of the Indo-European family". Ancient Greek and Chinese historians had long referenced a unique cultural and ethnic group on its western frontier with red hair and blue eyes, a group that settled ancient Afghanistan and forged a vibrant Buddhist empire that spread Buddhism to much of the the world through China and India. But when 4000-year-old mummies were unearthed in the early 20th century in the Tarim Basin of the western Chinese desert with blatant "white" physiognomy and clothing of apparently European origin, historians, anthropologists, and archeologists were awestruck.

China Flexes Its Military Muscles - History In The Making - 16 Mar 2011


THE ▀█▀ █▀ █_█ ▀█▀ █▬█ Я Ξ √ Ω LUT ↑ ☼ N China flexes its military muscles Recently, China moved a 4000-ton frigate, fully armed with air-defense missiles, to the Libyan coast. This was the first time in history that a Chinese warship has been deployed in a mission as far away as the Mediterranean Sea, and perhaps the first time the Chinese have intervened in another country to launch a major humanitarian rescue mission. By all accounts, it was an impressive effort. China successfully helped thousands of its citizens evacuate war-torn Libya. Countries that see themselves as China's competitors were a little miffed. India also had thousands of workers stranded in Libya, and the Indian government came under intense criticism for being unable to swoop in and rescue them as effectively as China did. How did the Indian government respond to such criticism? By tweeting. Take a look at the Twitter feed of Indian Foreign Secretary Nirupama Rao. Scroll down a few pages and you'll see these tweets on March 1 and 2: "We are not in competition with China here. We're focused on the task of bringing back our people safe and sound. Pl let's not devalue this." "India has chartered ships and aircraft. Please believe me when I say this. I will not comment on the Chinese statistics..." Sounds a bit defensive, no? globalpublicsquare.blogs.cnn.com

2011 Worst Year in History for Natural Disasters


Degradation of the planet's magnetic field, the implications of shifting climatic patterns the alarming rise in the number of extreme weather events that have occurred in 2011. Could these events in someway be also associated with Earth's polarity reversal? The planet's jet-stream has also become more erratic and is experiencing wild frenzied migrations, resulting in the outbreak of an unprecedented number of extreme weather events that have reaped destruction across the globe. No one knows what the full effects of a magnetic reversal will be on planet Earth since the last such event, according to scientists, occurred 780000 years ago when no one was around to record the effects of it. NASA, however, has gone to great lengths to assure the public that events connected with polarity reversals are quite benign. Similarly, we might also add, the compounding effects of the Sun and cosmic rays on Earth's climatic processes during this magnetic disorientation period are also undetermined and unassessed scientific variables. So, is the rise in these extreme weather patterns and natural disasters merely a cyclical consequence of our time or do these events lend themselves to the prophetic warnings from the ancients suggesting major changes have already begun altering the biosphere of the planet we know as Earth? DS Allan & JB Delair wrote as early as 1995: "Significantly, a drop in Earth's entire magnetic field appears to have occurred somethime between 13750 and 12350 years ago <b>...</b>

UNTOLD BLACK HISTORY: The Black Chinese: DNA test... Case Closed


Ancient Black Chinese From East Africa — (by PROFESSOR JIN LI - Fudan University Shanghai) An international study has found that the Chinese people originated not from Peking Man in northern China, but from early humans in East Africa who moved through South Asia to China some 100000 years ago, Hong Kongs Ming Pao daily reported yesterday in a finding that confirms the single origin theory in anthropology. According to the newspaper, a research team led by Jin Li (of Fudan University in Shanghai has found that modern humans evolved from a single origin, not multiple origins as some experts believe. In China, school textbooks teach that the Chinese race evolved from Peking Man, based on a theory that humans in Europe and Asia evolved from local species. But Jin and his fellow researchers found that early humans belonged to different species, of which only the East African species developed into modern humans. This new finding nullifies the theory that the ancestors of the Chinese people were Peking Man who lived in northern China 400000 years ago. Based on DNA analyses of 100000 samples gathered from around the world, a number of human families evolved in East Africa some 150000 years ago, said Li Hui, a member of Jins team. About 100000 years ago, some of those humans began to leave Africa, with some people moving to China via South and Southeast Asia, Li said. According to the newspaper article, it has been proven that the 65 branches of the Chinese race share similar <b>...</b>

History Of Great Wall Of China [1/5]


The Great Wall of China was built over 2000 years ago, by Qin Shi Huangdi, the first emperor of China during the Qin (Ch'in) Dynasty (221 BC - 206 BC). In Chinese the wall is called "Wan-Li Qang-Qeng" which means 10000-Li Long Wall (10000 Li = about 5000 km). After subjugating and uniting China from seven Warring States, the emperor connected and extended four old fortification walls along the north of China that originated about 700 BC (over 2500 years ago). Armies were stationed along the wall as a first line of defense against the invading nomadic Hsiung Nu tribes north of China (the Huns). Signal fires from the Wall provided early warning of an attack. The Great Wall is one of the largest building construction projects ever completed. It stretches across the mountains of northern China, winding north and northwest of Beijing. It is constructed of masonry, rocks and packed-earth. It was over 5000 km (=10000 Li) long. Its thickness ranged from about 4.5 to 9 meters (15 to 30 feet) and was up to 7.5 meters (25 feet) tall. During the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), the Great Wall was enlarged to 6400 kilometers (4000 miles) and renovated over a 200 year period, with watch-towers and cannons added. The Great Wall can be seen from Earth orbit, but, contrary to legend, is not visible from the moon, according to astronauts Neil Armstrong, Jim Lovell, and Jim Irwin.
