Even though there is not written proof, how do we know that the Shang Dynasty was connected to Mesopotamia?

Much of the history of the Shang Dynasty has been deciphered from oracle bones found in Anyang, which present a kingdom at war, with narratives of shifting alliances with other powers. Prisoners of war were used as slaves or sometimes slaughtered for sacrifice.
