BEIJING, April 12 (Xinhua) Enveloped in a prehistoric aura, the Mayan civilization and China s Sanxingdui culture, while located in different continents, are as mysterious as they are ancient.
Significant discoveries were made regarding the latter, when China announced in March that archaeologists have found six new sacrificial pits and unearthed more than 500 items dating back about 3,000 years at the Sanxingdui Ruins.
The ruins, located in the city of Guanghan, about 60 km away from Chengdu, Sichuan, belonged to the Shu Kingdom that existed at least 4,800 years ago and lasted more than 2,000 years, considerably older than the ancient Maya.
