The Sanxingdui site is considered one of the most significant archaeological discoveries of the 20th century and is often referred to as the Ninth Wonder of the World. This Bronze Age site contains thousands of rare treasures from eight sacrificial pits dating back to 1100-1000 BC. However, despite its brilliance and splendour, this historical civilisation did not leave any records in Chinese history. The origins and fate of the Sanxingdui civilisation remain a mystery that has puzzled archaeologists and historians for many years.
It was not until 2001 that the Jinsha archaeological site was discovered in Chengdu, revealing the path of the Sanxingdui people after they left their city. For those who are interested in learning more about Sanxingdui, a visit to the Jinsha site is a must. Created by the successors of the Sanxingdui people about 3000 years ago, it offers a unique opportunity to explore the relationship between these two ancient civilisations.
