Thousands of years ago, in a corner of southwest China far from the heart of the Chinese civilization, rose a mysterious kingdom. Here, people created giant bronze heads and masks and incredible statues, the like of which had never before been seen. And then they deliberately burnt them.
Who were these people? Why did they make these bronzes, and what were they used for? Join Tianran He as he attempts to unravel the mysteries of one of China's greatest archaeological finds – the Bronze-Age civilization of Sanxingdui.
