In this article I argue that certain commonalities of ideology, belief and cultural practice existed between the ancient Babylonian empire and ancient Chinese Bronze age empires regarding theocracy, kingship, and governance derived from and represented by the Chinese imperial scepter. Evidence adduced is drawn from the description and use of imperial scepters recorded in ancient Chinese texts, hieroglyphic representations of scepters, material scepters and oracle-bones and their inscriptions, other artifacts unearthed at archaeological sites in China’s Sichuan Basin, astrological instruments, Babylonian stele and inscriptions and the Babylonian zodiac.
