Oracle Bones
Chinese characters are one of the oldest written languages in human history, with a history of at least four thousand years. And about a century ago, Chinese archaeologists discovered the Yin Ruins — a massive archaeological find of oracle bone inscriptions. To date, these artifacts are the most vivid and best-preserved type of writing discovered thus far.

Oracle Bones of the Ancient Chinese Shang Dynasty
Oracle bones or dragon bones were the shoulder blades of oxen or the flat underside of a turtle shell known as a plastron that were used for divination during the Shang Dynasty of China which dates between c. 1600 and 1046 BCE. The bones were carved with symbols, the symbols eventually became words and it was from these that the Chinese script developed from.
A psychic or fortune teller would carve symbols into the bones or turtle shell, then they would either apply a hot poker to the object or place it next to a fire until it cracked and from the direction of the crack, their future would be predicted. Although some oracle bones have been found from the Zhou Dynasty, most of them are dated to the Shang dynasty, the period of Chinese history when oracle bones were used most regularly.

77-year-old man invents input method for oracle bone inscriptions
The year 2019 marks the 120th anniversary of the discovery of oracle bone inscriptions, the oldest fully-developed characters in China, and the only ancient text in the world that has been passed down to the present. Although the study of the primitive language in China is mostly an official endeavor, folk enthusiasts have also contributed their part to decode the ancient mystery. CGTN's Xu Mengqi has the story.

Oracle Bone Text - Old Chinese Spoken (上古漢語)
(Reading starts 0:07) - *Earthly branch (not stem)
Very dubious attempt at speaking Old Chinese. Oracle bone characters borrowed from an Indiana University paper from 2010.
Old Chinese is said to be atonal. I'm unsure if there was vocalic stress. Maybe all the final stops should be unreleased / inaudible.
Columns are:
Regular Script, Small Seal Script, Oracle Bone, IPA Translit., and English literal
English idiomatic translation underneath.
Baxter-Sagart includes emphatic consonants in their reconstruction. For some words I prefer the Zhengzhang version. Most Chinese characters on Wiktionary feature both as options with a bearing on the original sounds.

Although some oracle bones have been found from the Zhou Dynasty, most of them are dated to the Shang dynasty, the period of Chinese history when oracle bones were used most regularly.
Since the oracle bones were written or carved on with such detail, stories that were initially thought to be myths about the Shang Dynasty - such as people’s wealth, occupations, trade goods, and cultural values - were able to be verified by scholars. Chinese writers in later dynasties referred to the Shang Dynasty as a kind of golden age, and the oracle bones showed modern-day scholars that they had certainly had a good reason to.

(Reading starts 0:07) - *Earthly branch (not stem)
Very dubious attempt at speaking Old Chinese. Oracle bone characters borrowed from an Indiana University paper from 2010.
Old Chinese is said to be atonal. I'm unsure if there was vocalic stress. Maybe all the final stops should be unreleased / inaudible.
Columns are:
Regular Script, Small Seal Script, Oracle Bone, IPA Translit., and English literal
English idiomatic translation underneath.
Baxter-Sagart includes emphatic consonants in their reconstruction. For some words I prefer the Zhengzhang version. Most Chinese characters on Wiktionary feature both as options with a bearing on the original sounds.
