I'm Lei Yu, director of Sanxingdui Museum. 2 Sanxingdui is the remains of the ancient Shu Kingdom. It lies in the northwest of Guanghan, Sichuan Province. 3 Sanxingdui is such an amazing place that it is now world-famous. Archaeologists have worked there since 1934.

The surprising discoveries are the fruit of over 90 years of effort. 4 The finds at Sanxingdui provide a missing piece of Chinese history. Sanxingdui was once a centre of different cultures.
