Not rice? Unthinkable.
Chinese archaeologists find the earliest known ancestors of Jean-Francois Millet (1814-1875), the French painter, and of Lluis Millet (1867-1941), the Catalan composer.
That pic is SO funny! Who is that in the background? Tourist guy as a child?
Nah. There's an annual Mullet Toss at the Flora-Bama Beach Bar every year. Unfortunately, hurricane Ivan blew away the original and famous bar, see below. Also, I expect hurricane Katrina blew away the rebuilding of that bar.
And here I always thought it was "The Outer Millets." (Please stand by).
Well, blam --- I'M taking it seriously and with interest!
That puts it back a couple thousand more years than the millet in the Banpo site in Xi'An. (I guess Xi-An is considered the Yellow River Valley)
What culture and ancient period would that be, I wonder.
Ha that place was built out of PVC pipe and plastic tarps. I don't think they had a refrigerator later than the 1970's. It can be rebuilt in a few hours.

Gods, Graves, Glyphs (alpha order)
Archaeological discoveries show that the main cereals, including wheat, barley, rice and maize all originated 10,000 to 8,000 years ago.Actually, that's not true. Multirow barley (the cultivated kind) goes back at least 14,000 years (non-calibrated RC date, so the actual figure is higher).
The ancient Nefilim myths? Naw.
History news from China recently makes them sound like they're up to their old tricks again. Everything is earliest this, oldest that and the first of the other.
