Before then, there was no coherent concept of "Anhui". Northern Anhui was firmly a part of the North China Plain in terms of culture, together with modern-day Henan province. Central Anhui constituted most of the fertile and densely-populated Huai He River watershed. Southern Anhui, along the Yangtze, was closer to Hubei and southern Jiangsu provinces in culture. Finally, the hills of southeastern Anhui formed a unique and distinct cultural sphere of its own. The creation of the province of Anhui h ...

| | | | | 16th century BC: Encyclopedia II - History of Belize - First European contact European contact began in 1502, when Christopher Columbus sailed along the coast of Belize but did not land on shore.
In 1511, the first Europeans set foot on what is now Belize: a small crew of shipwrecked Spanish sailors, who landed in what is now northern Belize. The group's galleon had run aground on the Alacranes reef near Cabo Catoche. Twenty people were washed ashore, and most of those were immediately captured by the Mayas and later sacrificed or taken as slaves. One of the prisoners, Gonzalo Guerrero, later defected to the Ma ...

| | | | | | 16th century BC: Encyclopedia II - Ancient Egyptian architecture - Characteristics Due to the scarcity of wood, the two predominant building materials used in ancient Egypt were unbaked mud brick and stone. From the Old Kingdom onward, stone was generally reserved for tombs and temples, while bricks were used even for royal palaces, fortresses, the walls of temple precincts and towns, and for subsidiary buildings in temple complexes.
Most ancient Egyptian towns have been lost because they were situated in the cultivated and flooded area of the Nile Valley, although the dry, hot climate of Egypt preserved some mud br ...

Archaeological sites reveal that prehistoric cultures such as the Yangshao Culture and Longshan Culture were active in what is now northern Henan. The Erlitou culture, which has been controversially identified with the Xia Dynasty, the first Chinese dynasty as described in Chinese rec ...

| | | | | | 16th century BC: Encyclopedia II - Chariot - Ancient Near East
Chariot - Egyptian.
The chariot, together with the horse itself, was introduced to Egypt during the reign of the Hyksos dynasty in the 16th century BC. In the remains of Egyptian and Assyrian art there are numerous representations of chariots, from which it may be seen with what richness they were sometimes ornamented. The chariots of the Egyptians and Assyrians, with whom the bow was the principle arm of attack, were richly mounted with quivers full of arrows. The Egyptians invented the yoke saddle for their chariot horses in ca. 1500 BC. The best preserved examples of Egyptian chariots are th ...

| | | | | 16th century BC: Encyclopedia II - Jiangxi - History Jiangxi is centred on the Gan River valley, which provides the main north-south transport route of China. Its encirclement by mountains has allowed the lands of Jiangxi to develop as a separate geographic entity. They provide one of the communication routes from the North China Plain and the Yangtze River valley to the territory of modern Guangdong province. As a result Jiangxi has been strategically import ...

| | | | | 16th century BC: Encyclopedia II - Moses - Moses in history Also see the article on the Bible and history
Most mainstream historians find links between the biblical Moses and the Exodus and historical Ancient Egypt as problematic and highly controversial. Due to the fact that the events that transpired in Egypt may have been written down centuries later, it is difficult to separate eyewitness testimonies from allegories and inaccuracies brought on by oral traditions. Descriptions of the Ancient Egypt in the Bible often contain accurate historical details, such as the description of the ...

| | | | | 16th century BC: Encyclopedia II - History of the Levant - The Bronze age The first cities started developing in southern Mesopotamia during the 4th millennium BC. With these ties of religion began to replace ties of kinship as the basis for society. Each city had a patron god, worshipped in a massive central temple called a ziggurat, and was ruled by a priest-king (ishakku). Society became more segmented and specialized and capable of coordinated projects like irrigation and warfare.
Along with cities came a number of advances in technology. By around the 31st century BC, writing, the wheel, ...

| | | | | 16th century BC: Encyclopedia II - History of literature - The beginnings of literature Literature and writing, though obviously connected, are not synonymous. The first writings from ancient Sumeria by any reasonable definition do not constitute literature—the same is true of some of the early Egyptian hieroglyphics or the thousands of logs from ancient Chinese regimes. Scholars always have and always will disagree concerning when the earliest records-keeping in writing becomes more like ...

| | | | | 16th century BC: Encyclopedia II - Zhejiang - History Zhejiang was outside the sphere of influence of early Chinese civilization during the Shang Dynasty (16th century BC - 11th century BC). Instead it was populated by peoples collectively known as the Yue, such as the Dongyue and the Ouyue.
