Japanese prehistory from the Jomon to Yayoi periods is fascinating. It may seem primitive in comparison to Ancient China or India but when you study the earliest history of any people or country you understand it on a much deeper level. PreDynastic Egypt/Khemet is a new interest of mine.

The history of the Japanese imperial family is 2660 years in mythology, but the first emperor with a realistic history was Emperor (At this time, he was known as the Great King, not the Emperor) Sujin, who is believed to have been a great king in the Kofun (Kofun=kurgan) period. For further authenticity, it is said that the ancestor of the emperor family connected to the present day may have been Emperor Keitai in the first half of 500 AD. This would be evidence of the very dynamic political changes that took place in the Japan during the Kofun period.

Japanese characters and Korean characters were invented by local ancient Chinese (decomposed through Chinese characters. Design character symbols). To express the language of indigenous people (suitable for Japanese and Korean grammar). The purpose is to facilitate governance and command to work (local indigenous people prohibit learning and use Chinese characters). * Vietnamese characters was invented by the French At least more than 2000 years ago. The Chinese arrived at Japan and the Korean Peninsula and North Vietnam. These Chinese people have established a Chinese regime in the local area. (Some Chinese elites have been dispatched by the Chinese emperor to the local area. Including Chinese officials, scholars, monks, architects, and various technicians ... are responsible for development in the local area). Many Chinese culture and Chinese architecture naturally appear in ancient Japan, Korea and North Vietnam.

I'm always taken aback when I study the history of Eastern civilizations. I originally thought about how ancient they were. Then, ofc, I find out China (as a political entity) didn't exist until 221 BCE, & now Japan coalescing around 6 to 700 CE. Egypt had gone through 3,000 of history by then. I suppose it's all relative.

[@Wonila]

A natal melting pot! 🤯

[@dunzhen]

I don't consider Jomon part of Japanese civilization, they're just the hunter gatherers living on what we now call "Japan" in English. Japan really got rolling after their cultural borrowing from the Tang Dynasty

[@barbiebarbie1813]

At least 2,000 years ago, the Chinese people (Wuyue 吳國越國人) & Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods 春秋戰國時期 fled to the ancient Korea (朝鮮chaoxian) and ancient Japan(東瀛dong ying ) due to war. Later, during the Qin Dynasty,, a large number of Chinese elites and technical personnel sent by Emperor Qin. They moved to ancient Japan (including the ancient Korean Peninsula and ancient North Vietnam). There were also some Chinese nobles and officials who fled to ancient Japan because of the war ... For example: Emperor Qin's son. Yang Guifei of the Tang Dynasty. Of course they are not alone. Instead, they arrived in ancient Japan by a team. These Chinese elites moved to Japan. They are responsible for developing a very primitive place in ancient Japan (backward and lack of resources). Establish a local local regime in the local area. The Chinese emperor named ancient Japan as "東瀛 dong ying & 扶蘇 fusu & 倭wei". As one of the regions of China's power jurisdiction. It is closely related to the Chinese royal family and the official. For example: 卑彌呼 Himiko. She is the adoptive daughter of the Chinese emperor. She is a Chinese female official position. On behalf of the Chinese emperor, she is responsible for governing Japan. All funds are supported by the Chinese royal family. She knows Chinese Taoist ghosts and magic spells and divination. She is fluent in Chinese language (official language and Han dialect) and Chinese characters...... During the Tang Dynasty, Chinese national strength was more powerful. The navigation technology was stronger. The Chinese emperor sent a fleet to Japan. Some Chinese people followed the fleet and returned to China (there may be a small number of japan's indigenous slaves followed). This is almost 70 years apart. They asked the Tang Emperor to send more Chinese elite teams, high -tech personnel and a large number of Chinese products to go to Japan 倭. This is the " Tang ambassador 遣唐使 "recorded in history. They are ancient Chinese . After that, a large number of Chinese officials, nobles and elites also appeared on ancient Japan 倭 (Today Japan still has many ancient Chinese tombs and unearthed cultural relics ). Ancient Chinese architects built a Chinese palace in ancient Japan 倭. Exercise China's official governance system. Representing this place (ancient Japan) was occupied by the Chinese. The Chinese and a large number of Chinese culture naturally appeared in ancient Japan 倭. anicant Japan 倭 in this period. Chinese culture is an explosive growth. Including : Dragon Totem (representing Chinese imperial power), Chinese characters, Chinese scholars (recorded local history), Chinese architect (Chinese palace), Chinese physician, Chinese monk, Chinese martial artist, Chinese artist (music, painting, calligraphy, chess art, tea culture..........), Chinese growers, various technical personnel in China (cloth, iron, weapons ...), Chinese officers, Chinese coins, a large number of Chinese products and Chinese history books ....... all appeared in ancient Japan. These are used to use it to the local Chinese nobles and Chinese. They call Japan at that time "China 中國" and "Shenzhou 神州" (the Han people's named beauty to China). They have always been proud of the Chinese identity and the Han family. At that time in ancient Japan 倭. In addition to the Chinese regime, there are more than 100 indigenous tribes (including Japanese ancestors today). They often attack local Chinese. These contents are recorded in history. In the 13th century in Japan. Some of these indigenous people (speaking Japanese language. Hairstyle is bald in the top of the head) occupied the Chinese palace. Killing some senior Chinese officials. Control all Chinese technicians. Forcing them to join the "Japanese 日本人". And let these Chinese provide Chinese high culture and technology for their rule. Help and continue to develop "Japan 日本", a country that is performed by indigenous people. These indigenous people re -named this place is "Japan 日本". And protest and provocative to the Chinese royal family. Local Chinese scholars (forced to become Japanese) use Chinese Chinese characters to create "Japanese characters" that can be suitable for Japanese language. Later. Chinese emperor Wu Zetian 武則天 knew that China's "倭" was captured and occupied. She instructed officials to modify the ancient Japanese name of history. From then on, in the Chinese history book, the Chinese city "倭" was renamed "Japan日本". 《舊唐書》中有《倭國傳》，而且增加了《日本國傳》。其《傳》云：「日本國者，倭國之別種也。以其國在日邊，故以日本為名。或曰：倭國自惡其名不雅，改為日本。或云：日本舊小國，並倭國之地。其人入朝者，多自矜大，不以實對，故中國疑焉。」 Around the 13th century, because the Chinese regime in wei 倭國 (ancient Japan) was occupied by the local indigenous people (because of the marine distance, the Chinese emperor finally abandoned the Chinese elite and the Chinese elites who stayed in wei 倭國- ancient Japan). * dong ying 東瀛 /wei 倭國(Chinese regime) = ancient Japan in history Some Chinese literature and political elites have been forced to serve and help indigenous people establish regimes (most of them retain the original Chinese politics and governance methods). These Chinese elites can smoothly speak Chinese 漢語 (& han dialects漢族方言) and Chinese characters漢字 and understand all Chinese books. Chinese elites were forced to a family and give birth to a batch of mixed races with indigenous women. Let those mixed -race descendants inherit Chinese knowledge (Chinese characters漢字) and Chinese technology. Some Chinese soldiers/martial artists left (or flee) Chinese palaces became "samurai 浪人". And Chinese ninja established a folk ninja organization in Japan倭. Later, the "Chinese ninja" work became a local occupation. Due to the primitive and backwardness of the Japanese environment. It has changed the function and nature of the original Chinese ninja (doing secret tasks for the Chinese royal family and aristocracy. For example: investigation. Take treasures and kill people). In the "Ninja Professional" in Japan, it is more oriented to folk theft. * Except that the Japanese royal family is mixed (ancient Chinese mixed with indigenous people). They follow the bald hairstyle on top of the Japanese native. The samurai 浪人 and ninjas忍者 were originally mainly Chinese and offspring. They leaving the China's palace and not limited (example: hairstyle) . So most of them will maintain the Chinese long hair (cut short). The hairstyle that is different from the baldness of the indigenous civilians . *Modern Japanese have about 5-10%of ancient Chinese blood. ------------- Tang Ambassador 遣唐使 ,They must be the Chinese and future generations who moved to ancient Japan during the Qin and Han dynasties (do not rule out a small number of indigenous works to follow the boat as slaves). They speak Chinese language and use Chinese characters. Because they are Chinese, they can enter mainland China. Because they are Chinese. Therefore, they can be contacted by the Chinese royal family and the official. "Tang Ambassador 遣唐使" returned to China. They reported the Japan local situation to the Chinese emperor. They returned to the motherland China and live. About 70 years later, the Chinese emperor sent a large number of Chinese elite members to Japan.They are responsible for developing a backward area of Japan. And establishing a Chinese local regime in Japan. Chinese dragon and Chinese culture appear naturally in this place. During this period, a large number of Chinese Tang -style buildings and Chinese culture (including commodities and books) appeared in ancient Japan. During this period, Japan was still one of the territories of Chinese regimes . And the "Japanese ancestors today" speak Japanese language. At that time, they were still indigenous. They did not even have characters. There were no technologies to reach China. They would not get Chinese official reception. China will not give them the opportunity to log in to mainland China. Anceint japan (before 13th century )= 東瀛 & 扶桑 & 倭 . (the name set by the Chinese emperor. It is also the name of the historical record) Today japan = 日本 Anceint korea= 朝鮮 (and 高包麗. 百濟. 新羅. 王氏高麗. 李氏朝鮮) . (the name set by the Chinese emperor. It is also the name of the historical record) Today korea = 韓國(南北) Anceint Nonth Vietnam= 交趾 & 安南. (the name set by the Chinese emperor. It is also the name of the historical record) Today Vietnam = 越南 Anceint Okinawa= 琉球. (the name set by the Chinese emperor. It is also the name of the historical record) Today Okinawa = 沖繩

[@weifan9533]

The myth that the Yayoi came from the Wuyue region of East China has already been refuted by recent genetic studies. Genetic testing on Yayoi remains has confirmed that these people largely came from the Korean peninsula and the West Liao River area of Manchuria, though they were mixed with the native Jomons to various degrees.

Have you talked about the Ainu? The indigenous people….1/10

[@tsuyoshitanaka-c4l]

The modern Ainu people and the people of ancient Japan's Hokkaido are not identical. The ethnic name "Ainu" was coined in modern times, and in ancient times there was no unified ethnicity. This is evident in their DNA, which shows evidence of a complex mixture of blood from the Jomon period to the modern era. In the Okhotsk period, 60% of the DNA was close to that of the Russian Nivkh. The Jomon people of Japan are not a single race, but a mixed group that came from various regions of the continent. In the eastern part of Japan (Kanto and Tohoku), Jomon DNA is predominant among the Ainu people, while Jomon DNA, which is predominant among the Okinawans, is predominant in the west.To take an extreme example regarding East-West differences, Miyazaki Prefecture, located in the Kyushu region of Japan, contains 0% Jomon DNA, which is predominant among the Ainu people, while it contains a significant amount of Jomon DNA, which is predominant among the Okinawans.

[@eymeeraosaka2954]

If it is true that human originated in Africa then based on the Migration Theory the Japanese like the rest of the races of the world, is a product of this Migration.... Being an island and close proximity to the Asian Continent, the Japanese race probably came from Asia and the most likely places are China and Siberia. The Ainu people(blue eyes) are from Siberia who migrated through the Sakhalin Region while the majority are probably of Chinese descent from the Korean Peninsula. But the Japanese from Okinawa are probably descendants from the South, the Philippines, being of darker skin. The fact that some of the Japanese Language are Chinese is proof of this relationship.

[@weifan9533]

The Okinawans are also of Jomon and Yayoi descent, though they carry slightly higher percentages of Jomon genes than mainland Japanese. They are not related to Filipinos or other SE Asians.

The idea that all of ancient egypt was completely one race or another is ridiculous - most of eurasia and northern africa has been racially diverse since people invented travel.

@@professionalpainthuffer You are confusing the OLD EGYPTIAN KINGDOMS to the "NEW KINGDOMS", and they are separated by 3,000 years when the Old Egyptian Kingdom was 100% Black race, and you cannot compare the two which are several millenniums apart. The Greeks/Romans invaded the Kingdom approximately 300 BCE, while the OLD Black Egyptian Kingdom became unified approximately 3,000 BCE. You seem to be insisting that the Black Kingdom 3.000 years earlier was the same as the Greeks/Romans, and that is quite absurd..Also, even after the Greek/Roman invasions occurred, the Kingdom of Egypt remained more than 90% Black race because the local people did not go anywhere just because the Europeans arrived, and many Greeks and Romans were also a racially mixed diverse people. In fact the FIRST Greeks were the Black MINOANS, and Rome had many Black Emperors, including at least one Black Dynasty founded by Septimius Severus in 193 A.D.? That s the same as the USA territories in the Caribbean such as Puerto Rico, St Thomas, St Martin, Barbados, Bahamas, Martinique, Guadalupe, all which maintained their MAJORITY Populations, but with FOREIGN control. You must think that once the Greek/Roman invasion occurred, that all of a sudden Egypt became 20% European ha ha.. Another Example is when the English invaded India, the country did not become 10% white English people, instead, they just had control of ther country, but the local population remained practically unchanged.. The Egyptian population did not start to chang drastically until the ARAB and Ottomans invasion, which was when a mulatto population began to emerge.. Even today, UPPER Egypt which is the larger part to the South is still predominantly Black/Mixed race, while the lighter skin Arabs are primarily situated in the North which is Lower Egypt...
