Chiara De Gregorio, an Italian archaeologist and postdoctoral researcher at Fudan University, has discovered surprising similarities between Chinese and ancient Greek civilizations. During her recent visit to China’s Henan Province, she was deeply impressed by the region’s rich cultural heritage.
“Henan is like a sacred land for archaeology,” Dr. De Gregorio remarked. “The Henan Museum’s extensive collection offers an incredible window into Chinese culture and sparks a desire to explore more.”
She believes that Henan holds the key to uncovering more historical mysteries due to its unique geographical advantages. “It’s undeniably one of the cradles of Chinese civilization,” she added.
In her studies, Dr. De Gregorio noticed notable similarities between Chinese and ancient Greek civilizations, particularly in ceramic patterns and architectural structures. These resemblances have piqued her interest in exploring how these two ancient cultures might be connected.
“The patterns and structures are fascinatingly similar,” she explained. “It suggests that despite the distance, there might have been shared ideas or parallel developments between these societies.”
Dr. De Gregorio’s findings highlight the importance of cross-cultural studies in archaeology. Her work encourages young people worldwide to delve into history and uncover the connections that unite different civilizations.
