Museum and history - our origin (?)



Folks,

There is a great site on Chinese history and a 3-D museum that you can
browse around using your mouse guide (the one with 2 or 3 buttons, not the
one that eats cheese and peanut butter).

Just visit this site and go the the homepage and find out more.
This was a result of an interesting discussion at the China the Beautiful
Yahoo club, which I think you may be interested in joining or at least
viewing. We talk a lot about history and ancient China. There is a thread
going on about the genetic analysis of ancient Shandong people at LinZhi
showing resemblance to Europeans. Yes, Europeans. That was dated 2500 years
ago, which was about the time of Confucius. So, "who are we?" as Hakka is
getting more interesting.

Remember, in one of the pages on my website, I quoted some Shandong friends
who wrote that certain Hakka pronunciations are similar to Shandong dialect?
The mystery goes on.
