xihoudujia Ruins Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions

Some information may have been translated by Google Translate

The Xihoudu site is located in Xihoudu Village, Ruicheng County, Shanxi Province, in the middle reaches of the Yellow River. The site is located on an ancient terrace about 170 meters above the river. The Xihoudu site is one of the typical representatives of the cultural relics of the early ape-man stage in China. The discovery of deer antlers with cut marks and animal burnt bones in the site shows that they have conquered the "God of Fire" under their feet and revealed the charm of "the spirit of all spirits". The Xihoudu site is the oldest Paleolithic site known in China and is currently the earliest evidence of human use of fire in China. In 1988, the Xihoudu site was designated as a national key cultural relic protection unit. The Xihoudu site was identified as the collection site for the Olympic flame of the Second National Youth Games in 2019.

这里号称山西小埃及，而且这里可是实打实的遗址，不像埃及的那些破东西，都是现代伪造的。经过考证，这里可是距今180万年前的旧时代遗址是目前中国最早的人类用火证据。
