Interestingly, some of the traditional Chinese characters may indicate a clear knowledge of the same events as revealed by God to Moses, and we can draw the conclusion that the ancestors of the Chinese knew these stories and passed them on in their written language.

The Story of Genesis
in Chinese Characters
Synopsis: The Chinese language is much older than when Moses wrote
the book of Genesis. Interestingly, some of the traditional Chinese
characters may indicate a clear knowledge of the same events as revealed
by God to Moses, and we can draw the conclusion that the ancestors of
the Chinese knew these stories and passed them on in their written
language.
