Earth-shattering secrets The archaeological discovery of the Sanxingdui site
Sanxingdui in Sichuan, China, is an epic archaeological excavation site. It is known as one of the greatest archaeological discoveries of mankind in the twentieth century.
Among them is the bronze sacred tree in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, which is well known to Chinese. Its exquisite casting is completely beyond the imagination of the world, and at the same time, it also supports the existence and authenticity of the Song Navy.
These gold, silver and bronze artifacts caused a sensation all over the world from the moment they were unearthed.
But what shocked everyone was. The world-renowned Sanxingdui site among Chinese archaeologists. It is highly recommended to stop mining. Why is that?
There is a state-of-the-art scientific method for identifying archaeological sites, which is the chronology of carbon elements. The scientific and archaeological communities jointly calculated the Sanxingdui site and found it.
The Sanxingdui site was more than 300 years earlier than Xiang Chao. So the question comes?
First: As the academic circles said before, is it true that the Sanxingdui civilization belongs to the Xia Dynasty civilization?
Second: If the Sanxingdui civilization predates the Xia Dynasty, then why are there no traces of the Xia Dynasty in the Sanxingdui ruins?
Another question derived from the field of historiography is whether the Xia Dynasty really existed. Or does it just exist in myths and legends.
Because the Erlitou site did find clues to the Xia Dynasty, but. Clues are not enough to be ironclad evidence of the existence of the Xia Dynasty.
So people have high hopes for the ruins of the Sanxingdui civilization.
Third: the bronze masks excavated at the Sanxingdui site are already very familiar to everyone, but it is very obvious. The mask is completely different from the image of the Central Plains people. So who did he wear it for?
This can't help but remind us of the Terracotta Warriors of the Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum. The facial features are very similar to the Chinese in the northwest.
However, you can see the bronze masks of the Sanxingdui ruins. It is a high nose bridge and a deep eye socket. A little bit of a Westerner look. One has to be suspicious.
Samsung Pile. Where the hell are you from?
Fourth: The Golden Scepter.
Go through the twenty-five histories of China's canonical history. The concept of a scepter never existed.
And what does the golden scepter in sanxingdui represent?
Could it be kingship? Which dynasty is the king?
And when did the scepter, as the representative of the imperial power, appear in the Eastern Lands?
Studying western ancient history will be more understanding. Almost all scepters were used to represent royal succession and authority.
Foreign civilizations say.
Thus the archaeological and historical circles have produced the Sanxingdui civilization, which may not belong to the category of orthodox Oriental civilization. Such theories and claims.
So how did the Sanxingdui civilization enter the Sichuan Basin?
Geographically, since Sanxingdui was once established and bred in the Sichuan Basin, it should be part of Chinese civilization in itself.
Although how did the Sanxingdui civilization come about, where did he go? Whose wisdom gave rise to such a flourishing civilization. Today we don't know.
As far as we know, the excavation of the Sanxingdui civilization began nearly 100 years ago.
Thanks to the archaeologists and historians of the motherland.
The Sanxingdui site has also undergone extensive restoration and deciphering. But extant Chinese documents describe the Sanxingdui site rarely. Historians have struggled to find traces of Sanxingdui from the context of ancient Chinese literature.
Nevertheless, where did the mountain golden turtle come from, and where was the flow of his civilization? To this day, this is still a major issue that plagues the field of history and archaeology.
And that's why. The archaeological community shouted loudly to stop the excavation of Sanxingdui.
Maybe. It's like everyone calling for a halt to the excavation of the Terracotta Warriors and Horses at the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang. Today, under the immature conditions of science and technology, any excavation work is the destruction of cultural relics, not maintenance.
The real inheritance is to wait. Wait for the technology to mature, and then carry out the next step of excavation and protection of the Sanxingdui site.
Because Sanxingdui no longer only belongs to China, but also belongs to the whole world and belongs to all mankind.
