“Fortune Tellers” of the Shang Dynasty
• Shang writing has been found on…cattle bones and turtle shells!– Priests carved questions about the
future on the bones, then heated them, causing them to crack. The priests “read” these cracks and predicted the future.
– Why were these bones called oracle bones?
• These bones were called oracle bones because an oracle is a prediction.
