Chinese Chronology and Cycles

It thus appears that communication between Eastern Bactria and China is even now far from difficult. Considering the impact of the shifting sands in the Gobi Desert, which destroyed the cities mentioned in the 6th century AD, these communications must have been much easier in the centuries before Christ (BC).

Gaubil, in his Treatise on Chinese Chronology original: Traité sur la chronologie Chinoise, page 8, writes in confirmation of this:

"When Alexander the Great was in India and Bactria, he could have easily had some knowledge of China. In his time, there were merchants in Khorassan A historical region in Greater Iran, covering parts of modern Iran, Afghanistan, and Turkmenistan and in the regions of Samarkand and Bukhara Major trade cities in modern-day Uzbekistan who traded in several Chinese items; at least, this is very probable." On page 37 of the same work, Gaubil writes: "Abdallah (a Persian author), in his translation of the summary of Chinese history, speaks
+

of Tsao-fu A famous legendary charioteer; historical records usually associate him with King Mu rather than King Wu from the time of King Wu original: "Wu-wang", around 1001 BC, and says that he traveled as far as Persia."

Therefore, since the Chinese themselves acknowledge communication between Eastern Asia and China, the fact that China is never mentioned in the ancient histories of Asia and Egypt is even more remarkable.

Some of the writers mentioned, who support traditional Chinese chronology, have also placed great emphasis on the timing of certain eclipses recorded in Chinese books. They argue that these dates coincide with the verified occurrence of the same eclipses in other historical timelines, as proven by astronomical calculations. This issue will also be examined later.
