1 A Polycentric World Four areas developed primary urbaniza8on at later 8me than Sumer, Nile, and Indus civiliza8ons All show some evidence of state forma8on, long distance trade, and religious prac8ce These include China, Mesoamerica, and the Niger River Valley of West Africa
2 The Xia, Shang, and Zhou The Earliest Villages Yangshao culture shows shij to neolithic pakerns by 8000 B.C.E Culture also produced oldest known playable musical instrument: the flute Grew millet, rice, and wheat and domes8cated animals including dogs, pigs, and goats Yangshao lasted un8l 2700 B.C.E.
3 The Xia, Shang, and Zhou The Earliest Villages (cont.) Longshan culture comprised a more sophis8cated neolithic people Made pokery on wheels Domes8cated sheep and cakle Separate branch of Longshan in Shangdong Evidence suggests a harsh world of for8fied walls, decapita8ons, and bronze knives
4 The Xia, Shang, and Zhou The Beginning of State Forma8on Xia, Shang, and Zhou dynas8es each dominated northeast China in chronological succession Centered on the Huang He (Yellow River) State forma8on may have begun under Xia [ B.C.E.] but evidence is sparse Evidence of urbaniza8on under Shang [ B.C.E.] is extensive
5 The Xia, Shang, and Zhou The Beginnings of State Forma8on [cont.] Zhou [ B.C.E.] consolidated city and state and lej best archaeological remains and wriken records of the early dynas8es The three dynas8es may have coexisted Ci8es may have developed by 8me of Shang Capital ci8es shijed frequently Dynas8es were wealthy and controlled large work gangs
6 The Xia, Shang, and Zhou The Beginnings of State Forma8on [cont.] Sharp class dis8nc8ons included separate cemeteries for different levels of wealth Chinese ci8es were also religious centers with kings presiding over rituals as well as administra8on and warfare Human and animal sacrifice needed for religious ritual
7 The Xia, Shang, and Zhou Early Evidence of Wri8ng Oracle bones were basis of early wri8ng Consisted of bones of birds and animals as well as turtle shells that were heated in fires Cracks in heated bones were basis of predic8ons of the future or communica8ons with the gods
8 The Xia, Shang, and Zhou Historical Evidence of the Xia Dynasty Has long been regarded as a mythical dynasty Evidence of life at Erlitou matched myths Xia ruled through clans; leader mediated between world of spirits and world of humans Need to control Yellow River flooding required development of large labor gangs Produced carved jade, bronze weapons, and pictograms [forerunners of wriken script]
9 The Xia, Shang, and Zhou Similari8es Among the Three Dynas8es All three developed similar walled ci8es and poli8cal structures Literary evidence referring to different dynas8es portrays similar values and prac8ces Dynas8es became more hierarchical while reducing the power of women
10 The Xia, Shang, and Zhou City and State Under Shang and Zhou Shang ruler controlled network of ci8es from his capital city Rela8ves controlled other ci8es, represented interests of king and shared local harvests Shang ul8mately controlled 40,000 square miles Ongoing conflicts at edges of territory
11 The Xia, Shang, and Zhou Early Royal Capitals Shang capital city shijed frequently Royal family and nobles lived within city wall which comprised palace/ritual center Residents, crajsmen, and cemeteries were outside wall PaKern of city included residences and cemeteries of wealthy located to the north, with poor living and buried to the south
12 The Xia, Shang, and Zhou Anyang: The Last Shang Capital Was last and most powerful center of Shang Area has been heavily farmed and looted, leaving few ar8facts Excellent bronzes were produced primarily for ritual purposes but bronze weapons enhanced power of Shang
13 The Xia, Shang, and Zhou The Zhou Dynasty Zhou reduced Shang to small warring power Produced wriken records Developed idea of Mandate of Heaven to jus8fy power of king Book of Songs a collec8on of ancient poetry Transformed warfare to cavalry and infantry End of Zhou known as era of Warring States
14 Mesoamerica and South America Early ci8es were religious shrine centers linked by shamans to world of spirits Ci8es built on lakes, not river systems Work was more labor- intensive No wri8ng system except for Maya These civiliza8ons had foot in Stone Age
15 Mesoamerica and South America Origins: Migra8on and Agriculture Humans entered the Americas 15,000 years ago Developed maize by 5000 B.C.E. and beans and gourds by 3000 B.C.E. Valley of Mexico and high Andes of Peru built on these developments to become centers of civiliza8on
16 Mesoamerica and South America Mesoamerican Urbaniza8on: First Steps Agricultural basis of urbaniza8on present by 2000 B.C.E. People had developed a wide range of irriga8on techniques pot irriga8on canal irriga8on chinampas (hanging gardens)
17 Mesoamerica and South America Olmec Civiliza8on along the Gulf Coast Emerged 1500 B.C.E on Gulf Coast of Mexico San Lorenzo, oldest known site, ended 900 B.C.E.; produced unknown hieroglyphics, chinampas, and sculpture La Venta lasted to 400 B.C.E. Stone and jade was moved to La Venta from a great distance Reason for Olmec s decline unknown
18 Mesoamerica and South America Zapotec Civiliza8on in Oaxaca Valley Olmec ar8facts in Oaxaca by 1150 B.C.E. Reached peak by 200 C.E. Religious symbolism present in temples and pyramids No central city but based on 2,000 terraces scakered across fijeen square miles
19 Mesoamerica and South America The Urban Explosion: Teo8huacan Represented true urban revolu8on Peak was 550 C.E. with 100,000 residents Strategic loca8on in midst of Valley of Mexico and mountain passes to the coast Center of extensive trading network City dominated by pyramid situated above ancient cave with religious significance
20 Mesoamerica and South America The Urban Explosion: Teo8huacan (cont.) Cave and pyramid suggest belief that all life emerged from the navel of the world Second pyramid and temple emphasize religious importance of Teo8huacan Regular layout of city shows power of government City burned down in 650 C.E. and civiliza8on vanished within a hundred years
21 Mesoamerica and South America Successor States in the Valley of Mexico Toltecs emerged in Valley by 900 C.E. Toltecs honored Quetzalcoatl, god of Teo8huacan Aztecs entered valley ajer 1170 C.E. Developed civiliza8on of 200,000 Militaris8c society Prac8ced human sacrifice Destroyed by invading Spanish with help of neighbors of Aztecs
22 Mesoamerica and South America The Rise and Fall of the Maya Maya incorporated Teo8huacan and Olmec ideas as well as their own Located on the Yucatan peninsula Classic phase ( C.E.) included ci8es, monumental architecture, extensive sacrifices, and elaborate burials
23 Mesoamerica and South America The Great City of Tikal Religious and cultural center with poli8cal and economic role Contained 360,000 people at its height Developed calendar combining cosmic and historic events with agricultural cycle Shaman- Kings bridged daily life and spirit world
24 Mesoamerica and South America Maya Civiliza8on in Decline Classical period ended in 900 C.E. Suspected reasons for decline include popula8on pressure, climate change, warfare, pressure on resources Some new Mayan towns emerged during decline at core Few Mayan ci8es remained to greet Spanish arrival
25 Mesoamerica and South America Urbaniza8on in South America Few 8es to Mesoamerican trends Both regions built around religious shrines Both areas developed empires: Aztec and Incan Main South American civiliza8on in Andes mountains at 11,000 feet rather than arid Pacific coast regions of present day Ecuador, Peru, and Chile
26 Mesoamerica and South America Coastal SeKlements and Networks Pacific coast was a source of fish and cokon Labor brigades channeled river flow from Andes into irrigated fields Moche and Chimu were the major states of the coastal region
27 Mesoamerica and South America Urbaniza8on in the Andes Mountains Trade networks connected mountains and coast Chavin are first known Andean civiliza8on Tiwanaku irrigated high plains and established religious ritual and administra8ve prac8ces that were preserved by successor states Huari Nazca
28 Mesoamerica and South America The Inca Combined Chimu (coastal), Chavin, Tiwanaku, Huari and Nazca (Andes) cultures into single empire Capital at Cuzco in Andes at 11,000 feet Cusi Yupanqui established hereditary monarchy in 1438 using unpaid labor system (mit a) Had administra8ve system for conquered areas
29 Mesoamerica and South America Agricultural Towns in North America Few urban traits or nonagricultural economy Towns in southwest influenced by Mexico First fully developed towns comprised mound builders along Mississippi River at Cahokia Mound towns had strong central authority All North American towns were in decline before arrival of Europeans
30 The Niger River Valley Un8l 1970s, all sub- Saharan towns were seen as deriva8ves of outside examples Along east African coast, city development was influenced by outside traders West African towns were regarded as response to Muslim trade contacts New evidence challenges idea of lack of innova8ve urban centers in west Africa
31 The Niger River Valley West Africa before Urbaniza8on Early developments include iron smel8ng (possibly gained from the Phoenecians), terra coka sculpture, and sekled agriculture. Region jumped from stone to iron ages with few examples of bronze ar8facts Bantu migra8ons carry knowledge of iron working and sekled agriculture
32 The Niger River Valley Jenne- jeno: A New Urban PaKern? First known indigenous city in Sub- Sahara City developed 400 C.E. and peaked 900 C.E. Central area was a walled city containing eighty acres Were probably ancestor worshippers West African ci8es may have predated outside influences In decline by 1100 C.E.
33 The Niger River Valley State Forma8on? Jenne- jeno may have been a collec8on of independent ci8es without central control May have been a coopera8ve society with rela8ve equality rather than organized by compe88on, dominance, and coercion Alternate reasoning suggests Jenne- jeno may have developed only to level of Olmecs in Mexico
34 First Ci8es: Make a Difference? Important transi8on in human history New scale and density of seklement New technology in metallurgy Monumental scale of architecture Specializa8on and hierarchy in economy, poli8cs, and society Organized trade networks Developed wri8ng Central religious role
