  Ancient China: The Chou, 1050-256 BC
Ancient China: The Chou, 1050-256 BC The Chou, 1050-256 BC When the Chou usurped the throne from the Shang dynasty, China itself was split into several states.
Around 771 BC, northern barbarians overran the western Chou and conquered their capital city.
This begins the period of the Eastern Chou, which was to last until its overthrow by the Ch'in in 256 BC; in Chinese history, this period is called "the Spring and Autumn period" (771-401 BC) and the "Warring States Period" (401-256 BC).

 Virtual Egyptian - Shawabti of Queen Henuttawy, c.1050 BC
This is a shawabti of Queen Henuttawy, principal wife of Pinedjem I, who ruled upper Egypt as the Great Priest of Thebes from 1070 to 1032 BC, during the period referred to as the reign of High-Priests and Priest-Kings of Thebes.
Streamlined, almost minimalist, most often made of highly polished stone, a single statuette was placed in the tomb, representing the defunct, with his arms, his legs, his whole body shrouded in mummy trappings, up to his head.
One could reasonably argue that kings did not need shawabtis, because they expected to be exempt from any labor conscription in the kingdom of the dead (and they certainly had no compelling need for a funerary statuette immortalizing their physical appearance, as it was already well documented in a variety of media).

 The Dark Age, 1050 - 800 BC
The Dark Age, 1050 - 800 BC The Dark Age, 1050 - 800 BC During the late Bronze Age (1550-1200 B.C.), a confluence of events caused mainly by local factors brought about the downfall of all the major cultures of the Near East.
Undoubtedly the earlier incidents of decay influenced the collapse that came later to some extent, but other factors were usually the primary causes.
Groups of people migrated to different areas, and the population declined, probably reaching its nadir in the tenth century B.C. Archaeological records indicate that in the Dark Age most people lived in small communities in remote areas supported by subsistence farming.
