Master Archaeologist

The Sanxingdui archaeological excavation base is located in the suburbs of Guanghan far away from the city.

Guanghan is named after "Guangzhi Hanshui".

About 4800 years ago, the ancestors of the ancient Shu Kingdom worked hard, lived and multiplied in the Sanxingdui area with an area of ​​6 square kilometers in Nanxing Town, Guanghan City, and created the splendid ancient Shu culture in the early stage.

Experts believe that the Sanxingdui area is likely to be an important capital of the early Shu Kingdom. It is very likely that it was the former capital of "Du Yushi" or "Yufu Clan". It was also the political, economic and cultural center of the ancient Shu Kingdom.

Du Yu and Yufu are not the names of people, but the surnames of clans and tribes in ancient times.

These two clans were first seen in the "Ben Ji of the King of Shu" written by Yang Xiong, a native of Shu in the late Western Han Dynasty, which recorded the stories of the successive monarchs of the Kingdom of Shu.

He recorded in the book that the Du Yu clan was the fourth clan to rule Shu.

Before that, it experienced the rule of the three clans of Cancong, Baiguan and Yufu.

After the Yufu clan ruled, Shu entered a period of chaos. Until a few years later, the legendary Du Yu descended from the sky and led the Shu people to vigorously develop agriculture, changing people's previous lifestyle of "drinking blood like hair".

Du Yu was deeply supported by the people, so he became the new leader of Shu, and then led the people of Shu to enrich the people and strengthen the army, and gradually established the first feudal country. Shu was also one of the "Eight Kingdoms" at that time.

After the establishment of the Zhou Dynasty, the royal family of Zhou officially conferred Du Yu as the King of Shu. Du Yu moved the capital to Piyi, and soon proclaimed himself Emperor Wang.During his lifetime, Du Yu expanded countless territories, and finally established Shu as the most powerful country in the Southwest.

Judging from the age of the cultural layer distribution on the Sanxingdui side.

If the history recorded at the end of the Western Han Dynasty is correct.

The Sanxingdui culture should be the civilization of the three clans of Cancong, Baiguan and Yufu.

As for the Sanxingdui site in Guanghan, the sacrificial pits unearthed so far are all sacrificial pits from the late Shang Dynasty.

Therefore, it can also be considered with high probability that the priest pit excavated now may be the capital of "Du Yushi" or "Yufushi".

The time when the Yufu family was in should be the late Shang Dynasty.

The time Du Yushi existed was in the early Zhou Dynasty, after all, he conquered the Shang Dynasty with King Wu.

Of course, it is also possible that Du Yushi is already the successor of the Sanxingdui civilization.

Because the latest remains of the Sanxingdui civilization, that is, the late Shang Dynasty, seem to have no traces of the early Zhou Dynasty.

Perhaps the "Yufu clan" is the last tribe of the Sanxingdui civilization.

The Du Yu clan that emerged later inherited the Sanxingdui civilization.

After the Du Yu clan, the Kaiming clan, who continued to inherit the Shu culture, can be sure that it does not belong to the Sanxingdui civilization.

Because the last enlightened dynasty of the Shu Kingdom is well-documented.

The Twelfth Enlightened Dynasty was destroyed by the Qin State. If extrapolated forward, the founding time of the Enlightened Dynasty of the Shu State should be in the early Eastern Zhou Dynasty.

That is to say, the Spring and Autumn Period, the earliest does not exceed the early Spring and Autumn Period, and the latest does not exceed the Middle Spring and Autumn Period.

At present, the main point of controversy in the academic circle is whether Du Yushi is related to the Sanxingdui civilization.

To determine this, it is necessary to find the capital city and residential areas of the Sanxingdui site, preferably the palace, to see if there are any words left in it. …

Yes.

Although the Sanxingdui site was discovered in 1929.

But so far, the capital city of this site has not yet been excavated.

In the past 100 years, only two sacrificial pits have been dug in the Sanxingdui site.

The situation outside the sacrificial pit is currently not well understood by the archaeological community.

How did the bronze vessels in the sacrificial pit come from?

Where is the smelting workshop of Sanxingdui civilization?

where people live.

Where is the burial area after death?

Where is the palace area.

These circumstances are still a mystery.

This is why Sanxingdui is so famous, but the public has never heard of the remains of Sanxingdui people.

Otherwise, there would not be various rumors on the Internet that the Sanxingdui people are aliens, who look different from humans, and have a pair of protruding goldfish eyes.

It is because there is no burial area found in the Sanxingdui site.

None of the remains of a buried Sanxingdui man was found.

Unlike the Yin Ruins, where thousands of burial skeletons and the bones of nobles were unearthed, some of them were human bone specimens.

However, the claim that an Aryan skull was found in Fuhao's tomb is also a relatively well-known rumor.

First of all, a total of 16 people died in Fuhao's tomb, 4 of whom were children.

And among the 16 martyrs, none of the so-called Caucasian or Aryan genes were detected at all.

How did this rumor come about?

Since 1928, thousands of human bones have been unearthed from the Yin Ruins.

Among them are the Anyang cemetery, and the Xin'anzhuang cemetery has the most human bones found.

The scientific research team came to a conclusion after examining nearly a thousand skulls in the Yinxu sacrificial pit for many years.

The ethnic composition of the Yin Ruins is actually very complicated, and there are five types in total.

They belong to the typical Mongolian race (East Asian yellow race). According to oracle bone inscriptions and strontium isotope identification, these skulls should come from the ancient Qiang people.

Belonging to the Eskimo race in the Mongolian race.

The third type is a kind of black race, but they are Pacific Negroids, very similar to the Papuans in Oceania today, and strictly speaking they belong to the brown race.

It is worth mentioning that the restored appearance of the black people in Oceania is similar to that of the Hemudu people who lived in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River in the Neolithic culture of China.

Therefore, the black race in the merchant's burial pit may have originated from the descendants of the Hemudu people, and they should have belonged to the Yi people during the Shang Dynasty.

The fourth type is a race with 1% Caucasian genes. They belong to the Mediterranean type and are homologous to the Caucasians living in the Middle East and the Mediterranean region today.

It was also because of the discovery of this fourth race that there was a saying that there were white slaves and captives buried in the Yin Ruins.

Then this statement was reprocessed by self-media and marketing accounts, and the white people were accurately referred to as "Aryans", which completed the background and said that they were prisoners of war captured by Fuhao.

In the end it became such a rumor.

In fact, this kind of human beings with Caucasian genes were widely distributed in Gansu, Qinghai, Mongolia and other places at that time. It can only be said that it is normal to be captured by merchants.

In fact, it has nothing to do with white people in Europe and America.

This is like the "blacks" in Hemudu, and it has nothing to do with blacks in Africa.

When Homo sapiens went from Africa to the world twice, all genes were passed down around the world, and now modern yellow people also have some genes that are the same as Europeans. Is it possible to say that Chinese people are also white people?
However, Yin Ruins can at least find so many human genes, so that the origin of the merchant's genes can be determined.

In contrast, the progress of Sanxingdui civilization is slower.

Up to now, the burial area has not been found, and no human bones of Sanxingdui people have been found. It is still a mystery what the genes of Sanxingdui people are like.
