Historians initially considered the Shang Dynasty mythical due to the lack of substantial archaeological evidence and reliance on ancient texts, which were often seen as legendary rather than historical. The earliest records of the Shang were primarily found in writings from later periods, such as the Zhou Dynasty, leading to skepticism about their authenticity. It wasn't until the 20th century, with significant archaeological discoveries at sites like Anyang, that concrete evidence confirmed the existence of the Shang Dynasty and its advanced civilization.

According to some of the earliest records of the Shang, the first dynasty was the Xia dynasty. But some historians believe this dynasty is a myth.
