Below: Chinese Oracle Bones: c. 1600 BC – 1046 BC Yinxu, China (modern-day Anyang, Henan Province) Oracle Bone Script (Archaic Chinese)
The Oracle Bones from China contain ancient inscriptions that date to around the late 2nd millennium BC. The writing on the bones is called Oracle Bone Script and is the oldest known form of writing from China. Most of the Oracle Bones that have been uncovered so far were found in Yinxu (modern-day Anyang), one of the most important capitals of Ancient China.
As the name suggests, the Oracle Bones were used for divination during the Shang Dynasty (c. 1600 BC – 1046 BC). The bones used came from animals, including ox shoulder blades and the flat under-part of a turtle’s shell. The Oracle Bones are the most important primary source of information about Bronze Age China.

| 1684 BC Jacob dies in Egypt | 1684 BC: Israel (Jacob) died in Egypt at the age of 147. [Gen 47:28] He was embalmed and mummified. The Egyptians allowed Joseph and his brothers to take Israel’s body to Canaan for burial, and with them went all the servants of Pharaoh, the elders of his house, and all the elders of the land of Egypt. Israel was buried in Canaan in the cave of the field of Machpelah and mourned for 7 days. [Gen 49:33, 50:7-8, 13] The fact that all these people went with him to bury Israel, a Hebrew, is a good reason to believe that Joseph was vizier of Egypt. “And Jacob called (all) his sons and said, “Gather together, that I may tell you what shall befall you in the last days.” Look at the blessings to predict what will befall the tribes of Jacob “in the last days” Gen 49:1 1684 BC: Reuben is 62 yrs old Simeon 61 Levi 60 Judah & Dan 59 Naphtali, Issachar & Gad 58 Asher & Zebulun 57 Joseph 56 Benjamin 50 Manasseh 25 Ephraim 21 Kohath 30 Exodus 12:40 the sojourn of the children of Israel who lived in Egypt and Canaan was 430 yrs YEAR 192 |
