It is the largest ancient city, state and cultural site with the longest continuation and richest cultural connotation found in the southwest region to date. The best-preserved eastern, western and southern city walls and the inner city walls of Moon Bay are now in place. The Sanxingdui site has been described as one of the greatest archaeological discoveries of the 20th century, signifying that the Yangtze River basin, like the Yellow River basin, was the motherland of Chinese civilisation, and is known as the 'source of the Yangtze civilisation'. The artefacts unearthed therein are a valuable part of mankind's cultural heritage, and are among the most historically, scientifically, culturally and artistically valuable and ornamental of any group of Chinese cultural relics. Amongst these ancient treasures are a 2.62m high bronze figure, a 1.38m wide bronze mask and a 3.95m high bronze tree, all of which are unique and unparalleled. The gold sceptre and the jade and stone objects, represented by the full-decorated border jangles, are also rare and unprecedented. Date Submitted Date of submission of the resource.
