I totally agree with Jack. Stonehenge and many other sites in Britain are contemporary with this one in China. The same thing was happening inEgypt. No matter, it simply serves that about 2000BC humanity was beginning to contemplate the infinite rather than local gods. No big deal at all. The contemplation of the skies was the first universal 'god'. It made sense. But I do think that 24th C BC is pushing things...me suspects a typo.
c1000BC the Greeks had not quite yet abandoned their local (had to be appeased) gods, Zeus and the like, in favour of a bigger all-encompasing diety, the Nous (that could be approached as a respected friend and buddy), but they were well on the way.
Early Christainity then cashes in on the same idea with Yarweh and BIG G. Islam does the much the same thing a bit later in the 7thC AD.
All much of a muchness. We all want to contemplate the infinite. Call it what you will.
