Jinsha Ruins

Jinsha Ruins

Like Sanxingdui Ruins, the Jinsha Ruins were also discovered by ancient. On February 8, 2001, builders from a local real estate development firm were working at a construction site in Jinsha Village. Jinsha Village in the suburbs of Chengdu, capital city of southwest China's Sichuan Province, used to be known to very few people. But a major archaeological discovery earlier this year is putting it in the limelight nationwide. Most of the pieces date back some 3,000 years. Many of the relics bear strong resemblance to those at Sanxingdui. For example, a gold mask and a bronze statue of a person standing might immediately remind first-time visitors of the bronze masks and big bronze statues at Sanxingdui because of their similarity in style. Archaeologists think that excavations at the Jinsha Ruins have changed Chengdu's history and proved once again that Chinese civilization has very diverse roots. It was generally thought that Chengdu had a history of about 2,300 years.
