| Info |
Erlitou was the largest settlement in China and even in East Asia until about 1500 BCE. It is currently the earliest confirmed Chinese capital with palace buildings and bronze-melting shops. The Erlitou culture has evolved from the Longshan culture. Originally centered around Henan and Shanxi Province, the culture expanded later to the provinces of Shaanxi and Hubei. There is a controversial connection with the controversial Xia Dynasty as it is alleged that Erlitou was possibly the Xia capital Zhenxún. |
