(p04) Prologue 3
The Negrito tribe over it or before knew existence of metal neither
to the China continent nor the Japanese Islands.
As for the copper of the Higashishina continent, the trade with
Sundaland was also hung down.
The trade route of the copper with Sundaland of those days is like
this.
They refine the copper mined in Mount Kinabalu of the Kalimantan
island in a copper lump in the Sandakan district.
Up to Palawan, since it was an adjoining land, overland route conveyance
of them was carried out by livestock, such as an elephant.
It was carried to Mindoro or Luzon from the harbor situated in Calamian
islands.
Furthermore, the part has been introduced into Taiwan through Batan
Islands.
Taiwan of those days was a part of China continent.
Chilung is a deep small bay and had produced good gold from the
inside of a nearby mountain.
When the refining method was circulated among Askans, own account
also came to mine copper.
The Bhui mountain range in Fujian existed in the place which a copper
mine reaches.
Mining was possible, even if a place which the ore deposit has exposed
naturally is also situated in inside and it carried out with primitive
technology of those days.
The Aska tribe who emigrated to the East China Sea continent saw
the Neolithic era first in the world at BC18,000 period.
The polish stone implement was born as a by-product in the process
which grinds copperware with a stone implement.
As for copperware, the arrowhead, a fishhook, a knife, etc. were
made in addition to the mirror.
But, having been used for practical use is at least a fishhook and
others did not come out of the region for religious service.
In respect of hardness, the direction of stone implements or bone
implements were far excellent, and did, and since they were cheap,
they were practical.
The potato shellfish, the pearl, etc. were that time already used
as money for trade.
The copper arrowhead and the fishhook also had the function in which
money applies.
The East China Sea continent was the tribe society which many patriarches
govern.
BC17,000 period comes and the patriarch who holds it with the spread
of copper mirrors was accepted to be the master of religious rites.
A surrounding tribe came to embrace him.
The solar religious service tribe who is an original copper mirror
owner was living per some dozens of persons from the first.
They lived only on the shore.
It assimilated to the Aska people and they disappeared.
The head of the Mui tribe who went over Okinawa also did marriage
to solar religious service tribe's head's daughter.
They were made it as the born eldest son at a Mui tribe's head,
the eldest daughter was made into a solar religious service tribe's
head, and both tribes' fusion was aimed at.
The trade with between the Ryukyu-islands, Taiwan, the East China
Sea continent, Suizim island and also Luzon, and a Sundaland also
prospered.
Nirai island prospered as the relay ground.
Occupational descriptions, such as a merchant, a military man, a
government official, and transportation business, were newly materialized
in addition to the fisherman, the farmer, the priest, and the craftsman.
When the monetary system became complicated, it will be necessary
to record dealings, a number is devised, and the letter was also
born soon.
In this way, in BC16,000, the oldest civilization in the world came
to be born on a Nirai island.
The head of a Nirai island was called Hiko (solar son).
Hiko is a Sherman who the solar spirit can possess.
It was considered that his capability was inherited.
The tribe who looks for a Hiko with a leader of a confederation
amounted to several 100.
The Nirai island and the Kanai island were the center.
Two islands separated the strait and adjoined.
Their population also exceeded 300,000 persons.
The power base of a Hiko was not firm.
The political form was a representative system by each chief.
The number of the patriarches who participate in conference increased.
Along with it, the patriarches of the remote ground became participating
difficulty.
They came to see off a representative instead of themselveses.
This custom is circulated immediately and came to take the form
of the Diet with primitive conference.
Since the original patriarch stopped attending conference, Hiko
stopped participating directly.
He decided to look up to his eldest son in a substitute.
The eldest son was called Miko.
In BC15,000 period, the city state had occurred every place in the
world.
Especially the Atlantis civilization was the civilization which
was excellent also in the time.
It was born on the huge island on the Caribbean Sea.
When BC14,000 period came, the powerful centralization-of-power
state was made on the East China Sea continent.
Most plains were moist swamp grounds, a water rice crop greatly
spreads and it can support huge population now.
The difference of the strength between states was induced and some
powerful centralization-of-power states were born soon.
The Pangu empire which is the greatest state subjugated many kingdoms
situated in the Yangtze River down-stream region.
The manager mouth reached for exceeding 10 million persons.
This empire invaded the territory of surrounding countries briskly,
in order to secure the food of its own country.
The abundant Hirahara became the ground of dispute.
Moreover, near Taiwan Haixia of south area, the Ruwa kingdom where
population exceeds 8 million persons appeared.
They opposed the Pangu empire.
On the other hand from the China continent northern part, the tribe
of the new Mongoloid descent with a flat face has invaded.
They were the nomads who came from the Central Asia prairie.
They were usually performing the stock farming life in the prairie
of the Yellow River circumference.
In a drought,
or in the year with the bad state of grass, they were met by serious
famine by the weather accident.
Patriarches gathered and consulted such in the case of emergency.
They are groups and trespassed upon Askans' state.
Since they made elated the surprise attack by the outstanding horseriding
technology, Askans were perplexed.
The farm village made into the target was attacked by one-sided
game.
When the Aska army was mobilized, they had already gone away to
Hirahara.
Such vicious circles continued
The Aska kings organized the army to the the agricultural off-season,
and were equivalent to a nomadic people's subjugation.
Since nomads did not have the custom which resides permanently,
they needed neither their city nor the headquarters ground.
The Aska army was not able to take a commonsense military action
to such enemies.
On the contrary, when they were tired and retreated to marching,
enemies waylaid and counterattacked them.
Many expeditions were finished with failure.
The battle of Askans and nomad opponents were often also performed.
But, the pastoral time followed the basis of the warm weather for
a while.
