The Shah, Shang, and Zhou Dynasty

There are strong indicators that these may have been the people on whom the story of the Shaddanisti would later be based. The idea of this collection of semi-verifiable myths and legends being given the same cultural credence as the verifiably historical Shang in Zhou dynasty yet to come, stems back as far as our written histories will take us. A broad consensus has been reached that in all likelihood the three ancient quote unquote dynasties were to at least some extent overlapping and co-extant civilizations. Perhaps the three most powerful of the so-called 10,000 states of the ancient past.
