Hey there, history explorers! 🗺️ Have you ever thought about how ancient China and Greece might be connected? Well, Italian archaeologist Chiara De Gregorio has some exciting discoveries to share!
Dr. De Gregorio, who studies at Fudan University in China, recently visited Henan Province, one of China’s most culturally rich places. She was amazed by the Henan Museum, filled with incredible artifacts that tell the stories of China’s past.
She calls Henan a “sacred land for archaeology” because it’s a key spot to learn about how Chinese civilization began. Imagine finding clues about ancient emperors and dynasties—so cool, right?
But here’s the surprising part: when Dr. De Gregorio looked at Chinese ceramics (that’s pottery 🍶) and buildings, she noticed they have patterns similar to those from ancient Greece! 🇨🇳🤝🇬🇷
She thinks that by studying these similarities, we can learn more about how different civilizations might have shared ideas, even when they were far apart. Isn’t it amazing how connected our world can be?
So next time you see patterns on pottery or fancy old buildings, think about how they might be linked across the world! 🌍
