Most of the hypotheses and inferences about "Yin people's eastward crossing to America" in academic circles relate the appearance of Olmec civilization, the earliest civilization in America, to the fact that Yin people originally belonging to Shang Dynasty fled across the sea after the attack of King Wu at the end of Shang Dynasty.
As early as 1590, French scholar acosta suggested that the earliest Indians were Asians who came to America from Asia through the Bering Strait. 1752, French scholar ZENI went one step further and put forward the view that "Fusang" in China's ancient books is Mexico of America. Subsequently, it triggered a wide-ranging discussion in western academic circles about who first discovered the new continent.
Put forward theory
/kloc-Medhurst, a British translator in the 20th century, first put forward the view that the Yin people fled across the sea during the attack and were blown to America by the storm.
In "The First Civilization in America" published by 1968, American scholar Michael Mi suggested that the Olmec civilization unearthed in Lavanta appeared in history, which was close to the time of the great storm recorded in China's ancient literature, and the Olmec civilization probably came from Shang Dynasty. Michael Mi published a paper "San Lorenzo and Olmec" on 1967.
In China, Luo Zhenyu and Wang Guowei, masters of traditional Chinese studies, first proposed the possibility of Yin people going east to America. Later, Guo Moruo also thought that the Yin people traveled eastward to America. The Origins of Olmec Civilization by Professor Xu Hui of Oklahoma Central State University and American Totem by Wang Dayou, a scholar on China issues, further clarified the basis of the theory of Yin people's eastward crossing to America.
1. The Shang Dynasty was the bronze age in China, and a bronze man's head was unearthed in Mexico, which looks very similar to that of China.
2. Olmec's Yugui is engraved with figures similar to those of Oracle Bone Inscriptions, and Wang Dayou and Xu Hui interpreted some Olmec figures according to Oracle Bone Inscriptions.
Olmec people like China people like jade.
4. The tiger head pattern on Olmec jade is strikingly similar to that on Shang jade.
