Silk first Produced in China - 3000 B.C.

First produced in China in 3,000 BC. According to ancient records, the Empress, known as the lady of Si-ling, wife of a famous Emperor, Huang-ti (2640 B.C.), encouraged the cultivation of the mulberry tree, the rearing of the worms and the reeling of silk. Silk was first reserved for the Emperors of China, it's use spread gradually through the Chinese culture. This marked the beginning where silken garments began to reach regions throughout Asia. Silk rapidly became a popular luxury fabric in many areas accessible to Chinese merchants. Silk captured the imagination ever since the Han Dynasty opened the "Silk Road". Items brought from India included ivory, gems, and spices, with some silk on-shipped from Chinese sources (silk worms were unknown outside China) Silk started arriving from China by overland routes that became known as "The Silk Road". Caravans with one hundred people travelled the Silk Road to Europe, India and Asia.

First dynasty of China - 2205 B.C.

Hsia , The first historic dynasty of China, ruled, according to traditional dates, from 2205 B.C. to 1766 B.C. This dynasty is said to have been founded by Yu, the culture hero of China who built canals to control floods and then divided the reclaimed land. Scanty archaeological remains suggest that the people had domestic animals, wheat and millet, the potter's wheel, bronze weapons, and war chariots. The Hsia dynasty was succeeded by the Shang.

The Earth Landmass is Divided - 2218 B.C.

"And God said, Let the water under the heaved be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear; and it was so." The Hebrew word used to describe this one place is 'maqom' it means one bed. As a result, there seems be a very strong indication from Scripture that the earth indeed was originally one land mass.

Genesis 10:25. says, "And unto Eber was born two sons: the name of one was Peleg; for in his day was the earth divided; and his brother name was Joktan".. God originally created the earth as one landmass (Gen. 1:9-10) and subsequently divided the physical earth as part of His judgment for the rebellion at the Tower of Babel in Genesis 11. The Native Americans already inhabited the land when God divided it and set the bounds of their habitation (Acts 17:26)........ by Richard Jordan
