He became the Emperor of a unified China in 221 BCE – the presumed date of this inscription – which counts his rule as being in its “26th year” since his crowning as the King of the State of Qin [247 BCE] (rather than the 1st year as the Qin Empire [221 BCE]). There is an ongoing debate within China’s academic community as to whether the inscription is a) authentic, and b) the above interpretation is correct (the text appears to say “37” – some think this is a weathered inscription that should read “26”*. I have followed with the “26” narrative as this equals 221 BCE – whereas “37” would equal 209 BCE. As the Emperor Qin died in 210 BCE – this latter dating would not make sense. Furthermore, line 8 states the branch and stem year is “己卯” [Ji Mao] – which implies the year in question is “221 BCE”). A local Tibetan herdsman said he knew about the inscription as early as 1986 – and all his older relatives said it had always been present.

My Chinese family came to UK only after we (the “English”) invaded and subjugated their country. Half of my relatives are born in the UK – but we still have relatives living in China. We think Socialist China is a good thing and that China has a right to self-determination. This is not a threat to the UK – but extolls the freedom of thought the UK teaches its children that they possess at school. By supporting China – we are exhibiting the best of ancient Greek thought. We are also supporting everything great and good about England. Furthermore, we oppose English fascism and Ukrainian fascism. We oppose any form of racism and Neo-Nazism. Russia has the same right of self-determination as China and the UK. NATO-backed Neo-Nazism in Kyiv is NOT the best way to uphold and support World Peace! We are NOT Christians – but we do support the right of Christianity to exist and we admire the architecture of Christendom.

Once that “something” is resolved – the label of “Whiteness” will disappear. As a label, we all inherit certain responsibilities regarding its symbolism. Blatant or shallow “reaction” is very common – but it is not helpful. Adolf Hitler is the arch-reactionary and his disorganised intellection is no answer to the historical crimes of the capitalist ideology. In this sense, we are ALL victims in the broad sense. In the narrow sense, victims and oppressors are identified. Where should the lens of visibility focus? Even within Whiteness there are internal victims and oppressors (every girl and woman reading this will understand what is written). The middle class oppresses the working class, the rich crush the poor, and so on. Then, the White monolith imposes its collective will beyond its own geographical boundaries – upon those who are not “White”.

This privileged section of the peasantry left the majority of its class behind as the aristocracy granted it ever greater levels of political influence and social dominance. Eventually, this new “Middle Class” was trusted with procuring weaponry and hiring fighting men for the nobility – a position the bourgeoisie eventually used for its own empowerment. This is why across Europe numerous Civil Wars broke-out between the bourgeoisie and the nobility – with each vying with the other to attract the peasantry to their respective banners. In the case of the English Civils Wars (three conflicts that occurred in the 1640s and 1650s) – Parliament had been slowly infiltrated by bourgeois Members of Parliament (MPs) over a long period of time. These individuals played-ball for decades before showing their true class colours and finally taking on the English State.

China: Earliest-Known Wooden Coffins Unearthed in Henan! (12.9.2025)

Since 2023, the Henan institute has been conducting archaeological excavations at the site. Its latest research has confirmed that it was a moat-encircled settlement that covered an area of 65,000 square meters, with distinct functional zones located within its boundaries.

“In the central burial area, we have identified a total of over 200 tombs, among which 10 show evidence of wooden coffins,” said Li Jindou, excavation field director at the Jiahu site. Some of the coffins measured about 2 metres in length, 0.6 metres in width and 0.06 meters in thickness, Li noted.

“Soil analysis from their burial context revealed a significantly high concentration of lignin compared to the surrounding areas,” Li said.

According to the institute, the vast majority of tombs in the site’s central burial area contain funerary objects, including bone flutes, turquoise artifacts and pottery, some of which exhibit exceptionally fine craftsmanship.

In addition to the wooden coffins, archaeologists have recently uncovered over 20 bone flutes, with one tomb being the first-known instance of five flutes buried in a single grave.
