Since the Sanxingdui Ruins (三星堆遗址) were first discovered in 1929, they have brought the world one pleasant surprise after another. Hundreds of historical relics (遗物) have been found there. If one of these relics could speak, what would it say?
"Haha! I'm glad you finally found me!
Although I'm now incomplete... think I'm still quite fashionable with my BIG eyes! Experts tell me l am priceless because I am made of 300 grams of gold and they think that a complete version (版本) of me may have weighed about 500 grams.
Some experts say my appearance shows that the people of the ancient Shu civilization (文明) worshiped gold. Well, that might be true, but I still have secrets that need to be uncovered. For example, some experts have noticed I look very similar to a golden mask found at the Jinsha excavation (发掘) site in Sichuan Province. And this raises a lot of questions about the relationship between the Sanxingdui and Jinsha civilizations.
It has been a long time since I was discovered. However, researchers still don't know why I look this way. Of course, I know the answer, but I'd like to keep it a secret. I feel proud to be a mystery (奥秘)!"
