Six new sacrificial pits with over 500 items dating back about 3,000 years have been discovered at China's Sanxingdui Ruins.
Among the relics, there are pieces of exquisite gold masks, gold foil, bronze masks, bronze sacred trees, ivories, ivory products and jade.
The relics at Sanxingdui Ruins, as an important part of the diverse origins of the Chinese civilization, also had magical "echoes" in other ancient civilizations.
Here're some stunning pics that show the colorful mutual learning of ancient civilizations. Take a look.
