Some people think that ancient Egypt was the Xia Dynasty of China. Is there any basis for this statement?
China people are so keen on the mysterious Xia Dynasty that there are four Xia Dynasty sayings: "Sumerian Xia Dynasty", "Ancient Indian Xia Dynasty" and "Egyptian Xia Dynasty" that they can all play mahjong together. There are also domestic "Shijiahe Xia Dynasty Theory", "Sanxingdui Xia Dynasty Theory" and "Liangzhu Xia Dynasty Theory".

I can understand what China said in the Xia Dynasty. What kind of mentality is it to go abroad and get an Egypt across dozens of civilized areas halfway around the world?

From the analysis of language, culture and classics, we can see that these two cultures are completely different. 1. From the aspect of language, scholars judge that ancient Egypt and Xia Dynasty developed independently, and even the Mesopotamian civilization closest to ancient Egypt developed independently. Although Akkadian in Mesopotamia is related to ancient Egypt, their other language, Sumerian, has nothing to do with Egyptian. Ancient Egypt could not even influence Mesopotamia. How did it affect the Xia Dynasty?

2. The Xia Dynasty was developed in the Neolithic Age of China native culture, and the evolution of artifacts shows that there is a strong correlation between the Neolithic culture and the Xia Dynasty culture. From the agricultural point of view, from the Neolithic culture in China to the Xia culture, the main agricultural models, such as millet, millet, rice, pig, dog and silkworm, are closely related. Sheep and horses are foreign, from Mesopotamia, not Egypt.

3. From the point of view of faith and art, it is easy to find the description of their Pharaoh in the art left over from Egypt, but it is difficult to see the description of Xia kings and kings in ancient books. The Xia Dynasty only worshipped ancestors, and they just decorated their ancestors with complex abstractions.

The two civilizations are also different in philosophical concepts. Egypt's philosophy is eternal, either unchanged or eternal. Xia dynasty did not highlight this concept, but used divination to find the regularity of events. Art, faith, philosophy, these highly thinking activities, can not find common ground. How can the two sides have a relationship?
