In 1986, brickyard workers in Sichuan made an amazing discovery. They came across a sacrificial pit which was filled with elephant tusks, bronze human heads, ceremonial jades and gold. Fantastic-looking masks – some with protruding pupils, large ears and attachments to the forehead – were excavated and found to have been made some 3,200 years ago. The site known as Sanxingdui was to challenge all previous understanding of early Chinese civilisation.
