Book Description

This unprecedented children's story reveals the people's collective sacrifice for peace, and offers a glimpse into the lost civilization of Sanxingdui in China, over 3,000 years ago. In 1986, the epic discovery of the monumental bronzes in Sanxingdui was acknowledged as the ?ninth wonder of the ancient world. The artifacts unearthed are as old as the Pyramids of Egypt and reveal an advanced and civilized society in Sanxingdui. The ancient history of China is being rewritten as the ongoing excavation of Sanxingdui continues.
