Sanxingdui site is known as one of the greatest archaeological discoveries of the 20th century, with a history of 5,000 to 3,000 years, and is also the largest and most culturally rich ancient city in the southwest region, covering an area of 12 square kilometers, unearthing a large number of precious ancient cultural relics, such as what bronze sacred tree, bronze Da Liren, bronze longitudinal mask, bronze sun shaper and so on.
And the cultural relics we are going to introduce today are known as the "king of the world's bronze statues", and its present life has really shaken the archaeological community, because it is the highest and most complete bronze statue found so far, it is the bronze Dali man.
The bronze Da LiRen portrait is 180 meters high and 260.8 centimeters high, excavated from the Sanxingdui No. 2 Sacrifice Pit, and the weight has reached 180 kilograms, but this bronze Dali person has also left us two eternal mysteries, one is the identity of the bronze Dali person, and the other is the mystery of what the bronze Dali people "hold".
I remember that at that time, the archaeological team was also extremely surprised when excavating the bronze Da Li man, because this figure was so huge, at first I thought it was a giant, of course, there was a large degree of damage, and then after the restoration of the restoration experts, it had the appearance we see today.
However, the appearance of the Bronze Grand Liren also carries two big mysteries, and so far our experts have not been able to uncover the truth, perhaps this is really an eternal mystery.
The first is the identity of the Bronze Dali man: at that time, there were many opinions in the academic circles, some experts said that it was the true image of the ancient Shu king, and some experts said that it was a political king and the leader of the group; the third voice was the image of the theocratic leader in the ancient Shu period.
But which one is it? Naturally, we cannot give a conclusive conclusion, but many scholars and experts are more inclined to believe that the Bronze Dali people are a leading figure who integrates the identities of gods, witches, and kings, representing the highest power figures in the ancient Shu state at that time.
The second is the mystery of the bronze Da Liren "holding what", from the picture we can see that its hands should be holding something, but the archaeological team did not find a matching instrument, for this reason many experts said that this originally did not hold anything in both hands, and as for why the shape of "holding what" appeared, it is actually a gesture of sacrifice, of course, this is also a guess, the truth is what, no one really knows.
Of course, in addition to the strange bronze Da Li people in the Sanxingdui ruins, there are many strange cultural relics, such as bronze sacred trees, bronze longitudinal masks, etc., so that Western academics believe that the Sanxingdui ruins are foreign civilizations, of course, this is undoubtedly nonsense, how China's ancient ruins have become Western, really don't face it.
