Stunning Golden Mask Adds to Amazing Relics Unearthed at China?s Sanxingdui Ruins

[: Michael-Robert.]

Archaeologists exploring sacrifice pits in a 3,000-year-old ruin have unveiled a Chinese treasure hoard consisting of almost 2000 relics of supreme cultural importance. However, the most important artifacts in this Chinese treasure hoard are two golden masks and a massive bronze figure deemed important enough that the site has applied for UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Status.
The Sanxingdui Ruins in Southwest China's Sichuan Province are not only the most famous archaeological discovery in China, but according to a recent Global Times article, ?in the world.? First discovered in 1929, the Sanxingdui site, which dates back to the Bronze Age, represents the largest elite site ever found in the Sichuan Basin.
Archaeologists exploring the site?s ancient sacrifice pits have unearthed a Chinese treasure hoard of enormous value, including hundreds of ivory and bronze artifacts, golden masks, and a massive bronze god statue that is so important that the entire site might be given World Heritage status.
