@DamienMarieAtHope WOW! Very rare I read something about history and archaeology that blows me away so entirely. The article, history, methods of recovery - all of this is remarkable. Rare I wish to live to a very advanced age, but this discovery makes me hope I live long enough to know more about this site and history. #China #Sanxingdui #Archaeology #AncientHistory

Look at this giant bronze head from a find in Shaanxi Province in central China dating to 3000 years ago. In my doc I repeat the Phaidon book and say it's "Shang" but I mean they basically have no idea who made it. I cannot get enough of this head. I am swimming in my inability to describe it, let alone how odd it makes me feel.

📷 Nueva semana y, para empezar, hablamos de una foto y una historia de #Asia.

Hoy nos vamos hasta la provincia de #Sichuan (#四川), en #China, y a una civilización que desapareció de la #historia y que, una vez descubierta, permanece como uno de los grandes misterios del país asiático, llegando a mencionarse, incluso, la intervención #extraterrestre (aunque sin fundamento alguno).

Hoy hablamos del "Conjunto de las Tres Estrellas" o #SanXingDui (#三星堆).
