A prehistoric archeological site with an area of about 600 square meters has been under excavation in Jin'an County, China's Jiangxi Province since October 2009. More than 1,000 cultural relics have been unearthed. On Dec. 3, 2010, a cobbled road 4 meters in length and 90 centimeters wide was found at the archeological site. The road paved with cobblestones dates back to prehistoric times. Evidence shows that it is the earliest road in Jiangxi. |

Thanks for the article. Paved roads indicate frequent travel between the locations along it. Any indication of what this road connected?
One can see why the Chinese believe that the American experiment is just a blink of an eye compared to the length of their civilizations.

I dunno, maybe the Chinese invented miniature golf; but if that’s a road I got a highway in my attic.

Hey wait, we’re overlooking the obvious — it’s clearly all that remains of the beginning of the Yellow Brick Road.

The Chinese have a habit of ripping asunder whatever regime is in place. It’s probably a better idea to have a dozen or so separate states or autonomous regions.
