The Liangzhu culture (written in Chinese as 良渚文化) is a Neolithic culture that existed from around 3300 BC until 2300 BC. The archaeological evidence suggests that the Liangzhu culture possessed knowledge of silk weaving, lacquering, and the use of mortise-and-tenon joints in timber construction.

The sensitivity and the sense of mystery evoked by the anthropomorphic stone stelae from north Arabia of the 4th millennium is quite remarkable.

Click here to purchase Perfect for little hands, this do-it-yourself project will let everyone get involved! The project consists of three pieces of paper, two with Stonehenge blocks, and one of the base. Just print the base out on green paper, and print the two stone sheets on white paper (or even better, some stone-looking paper used for scrap-booking!). Each little stone is printed on both sides, with a number on the bottom. Your students just have to find the matching number on the green paper, and tape or glue them down (A great way to reinforce number sense without them knowing, shhh!) Use the sun or a flashlight to see how the light shines through Stonehenge. Perfect for studying an equinox or the seasons. Each stone block was hand-drawn by me, based on the real blocks at Stonehenge. I love making learning "hands-on" for my students, and they loved this project!
