31st Century BC Musical Instruments.

GeraldtheGnome: ABKHAZIA. : MAYKOPS. : The most ancient stringed instrument that looked like the modern day Adyghian Shichepshin was invented sometime during the late 4th millenium BC, so it certainly did exist in the 31st Century BC. They were in parts of Abkhazia.

ARMENIA. : MAYKOPS. : See above. They were in parts of Armenia.

AZERBAIJAN. : MAYKOPS. : See above. They were in parts of Azerbaijan.

CHINA. : DAWENKOUS. : The Dawenkou Culture is a name given to a group of communities who lived primarily in Shandong, but they also appeared in Anhui, Henan and Jiangsu, China. The culture existed from 4,100 BC to 2,600 BC, co-existing with the Yangshao Culture. The earliest examples of Alligator Drums appeared at Dawenkou sites.

GEORGIA. : MAYKOPS. : See Abkhazia. They were in a small part of northern Georgia.

(FRANCE) New Caledonia. : KANAKAS. : By the way Mal Meninga, the greatest coach of the greatest team (which is that of Queensland) of the greatest football game in the World (Rugby League State of Origin) is half Kanaka. To him "We're not worthy ! We're not worthy !" I wouldn't kick him in the KANAKAS ! I've seen him fight after all ! He's built like a brick $#!7house ! I have no information to tell me if these instruments, dancing and singing is exactly the same as it was in the past or similar, I also don't know if this type of singing and dancing did exist as far back as that of the 31st Century BC. Whatever the case is this is a modern reenactment of it. By the way isn't it only the Moaris that call anything like this the Haka ? I prefer the Haka anyway.



See Wikipedia, then search for Kanak People while there, then go to the Dances section and the Music section to see what sort of Musical Instruments they used (or may have since I have no information on when they started dancing and using those Musical Instruments) , I don't know if the type of music that they mentioned is banned any more, I have no information to confirm or reject that I am sure that all forms of dancing, including this 'Pilou-Pilou' Dance, that looks like the words Pillow-Pillow, is not banned any more. "Modernity" , I hate that politically correct word.

(NOVA ROMA) Sarmatia. : MAYKOPS. : See Abkhazia. Most parts of Maykop Territory was in Russia. Did they Maykop after the break up ?

THE PHILIPPINES. : SUBANONS. : I have no information to tell me exactly when they appeared in The Philippines, but it was either as far back as 4,500 BC or 2,000 BC or at some time that was in between then. I also have no information of when they started making and using musical instruments, but since I'm going to go for the in between time I will claim that they started using musical instruments from 3,000 BC on, minus Brass Drums since Brass was not used there until much later on, so too was any form of Metal. See Subanon on Wikipedia, at the section in it named Performing Arts, it tells you the songs and it tells you all about the musical instruments that they used. Of course, if the instruments they made and used were all made at or around the same time then the Subanons did not have musical instruments until the time or the Iron Age. Technically 4,500 , 3,000 and 2,000 BC should really be 4,499 , 2,999 and 1,999 BC.

RWANDA. : BATMA (PYGMIES). : They most likely did have traditional instruments and dancing then, but I can't find any information on that and the only dancing and music I can find about them has them wearing t-shirts and the like.

SOUTH OSSETIA. : MAYKOPS. : See Abkhazia. They were in all of South Ossetia.
