About the post
An animated piece of a little over two minutes about Sanxingdui, the Bronze Age archaeological site in Sichuan, China.
Our summary. The author’s own words are in the post above; we do not copy them.
Our note
A Chinese-language documentary short with English subtitles, titled "三星堆" (Sanxingdui) and "Echoes of the Ancient Shu Kingdom". Chapters numbered in Chinese, from 壹 发现 ("Discovery") to 捌 未解 ("Unsolved"), go from a 1929 find by a farmer digging a ditch, through 1986 and the pits opened from 2019, to a date of about 1100 BC. Finds are then drawn one by one with measurements: the protruding-eyed mask at 1.38 m wide, the standing figure at 2.6 m, a sacred tree, and a gold staff of about 1.4 m. Two fragments from different pits are fitted together after 35 years. The author has not published a prompt.
