Travel through the tunnel of time and explore the Sanxingdui civilization from 3,000 years ago.

Sanxingdui culture is like a mysterious treasure hidden in the fog of history, waiting for the world to explore and discover. It is located in Guanghan City, Sichuan Province, and is an ancient Shu cultural site dating back about 4,800 to 3,100 years, covering an area of about 12 square kilometers. The discovery of Sanxingdui has unveiled the mysterious veil of the ancient Shu civilization and presented a highly developed bronze civilization. Sanxingdui bronzes are famous for their unique shapes and exquisite craftsmanship. These bronze masks, figures, and sacred trees are not only numerous, but also complex in craftsmanship, full of mystery. Among them, the bronze mask has protruding eyeballs and open ears, as if it can see everything in the world, and is called "thousand-mile eye" and "downwind ear". These mysterious bronzes make people wonder whether the ancient Shu people had communicated with extraterrestrial visitors, or whether they had mastered some unknown ancient knowledge. The goldware of Sanxingdui is also eye-catching, such as gold rods and gold masks. These goldware not only show the superb metallurgical technology of the ancient Shu people, but also reflect their symbols of power and religious beliefs. Some scholars believe that these goldware may be related to the myths and legends of the ancient Shu people, and may even echo the records in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas". In addition, the scale and complexity of the Sanxingdui site is also its mystery. This is a huge urban site, and its large scale and complex layout are amazing. A large number of buildings, roads, and water conservancy systems have been found in the site, which shows that people at that time had quite high urban planning and engineering technology. The mystery of Sanxingdui culture lies not only in its unique cultural relics, but also in its unknown historical background. So far, no text or record related to Sanxingdui civilization has been found, which makes us know very little about the specific information and historical background of this civilization. This lack of written records makes Sanxingdui culture more mysterious. Although there are still many unsolved mysteries about the mystery of Sanxingdui, with the continuous development of technology and in-depth research, our understanding of this site is gradually expanding. Through the research and excavation of cultural relics, archaeologists are gradually unveiling the historical veil of Sanxingdui and restoring the glory of ancient civilization for us. However, more efforts and research are still needed to solve the mystery of this mysterious site.
