The Chinese On The Plain Of Shinar: Or A Connection Established Between The Chinese And All Other Nations Through Their Theology is a book written by Thomas Macclatchie in 1856. The book explores the connections between Chinese culture and theology and those of other nations, particularly those in the Middle East. Macclatchie argues that the Chinese language and mythology can be traced back to the ancient Babylonian city of Shinar, where the Tower of Babel was built. He suggests that the Chinese language and mythology contain similarities to those of the ancient Babylonians, and that this provides evidence of a connection between the two cultures. The book also delves into the history of Chinese religion and philosophy, including Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism. Overall, The Chinese On The Plain Of Shinar offers a unique perspective on the connections between different cultures and their theological beliefs.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
