6,000 year old Hongshan jade artifact depicts Shaman Transformation
The Hongshan Neolithic Culture dating from 4500-2250 B.C. is one of the
earliest and most advanced civilizations discovered. The Hongshan were
mainly located in the land area between Chinese archaeologists have recently
discovered a Hongshan pyramid-shaped building dating back more than 5,000 years
in the These very early
Neolithic Hongshan people were transient living in a region that falls between steppe and
agricultural climate zones. In the middle Hongshan Jade ritual and art objects were created for a period of more than 2,000 years. Contrary to what Western arm chair archaeologist have stated, Hongshan jades have been discovered in large quantities with over 52 different types of Jade objects in various shapes and forms. The most remarkable discoveries have been very recent in areas that are much further south of where the Hongshan Civilization was thought to have been centered.
My research indicates (based on artifact
evidence and 30 years of study) that the Hongshan employed advanced jade shaping and
carving tools that may have been made from meteorite iron. One fascinating study is the
evidence of high content iron found in black jades used for ritual objects by the early
Hongshan. Many of these artifacts are magnetic and express the possibility that the
Hongshan were aware of magnetic earth forces. Another fascinating observation through the
study of Hongshan jade artifacts is the abundance of "Alien" like motifs and
figurines that are completely unexplainable as they are not found in other Neolithic
Cultures. It is obvious from the study of Hongshan artifacts that a highly sophisticated
knowledge of mathematics and Astronomy become evident. The extensive
employment of ritual jades in China by the Hongshan during its late prehistory must
certainly demonstrate to the world of archeology that these people were not
"Neolithic Age" but rather "Jade Age" people. More great discoveries
wait under the earth of The long lost historic trails of these great
people who were called the Hongshan are waiting to be discovered. The greatest discoveries
of the origins of human civilization await us in Hongshan jade artifacts are very rare and beautiful making for a great investment in history.

period of Hongshan
culture it becomes evident that a husbandry and agricultural based society emerges that
leads to advancement in social structure. Discovers from Hongshan burial sites
show that they had class structure and interesting is the fact that they cultivated millet
and did not grow rice. Animal husbandry appears to have been highly advanced with the
domestication of pigs and ducks. There is existing Jade artifact evidence that points
to the possibility that they were one of the earliest people to domestic the horse.
Archeological evidence shows that with the emergence of social stratification and a ruling
class a large handicraft industry of jade workers flourished.
Recent finds from a tomb at Niuheliang and two smaller mound
tombs excavated in the same area were the discoveries of metal-casting technologies that
were disclosed by small copper rings unearthed at these sites. The use of kilns to produce
highly advanced painted and non painted pottery gave the Hongshan the power of intense
heat to explore metallurgy. It is of the opinion of my Teacher Wong Tien Chung that these
ancient people extracted iron ore/nickel alloys from meteorites to make ritual jade
shaping tools.
