ʻO kahi kiʻi keleawe nani a nani hoʻi i ʻeli ʻia mai ke kahua ʻo Sanxingdui ma Guanghan, ka ʻāina ʻo Sichuan, hiki ke hāʻawi i nā hōʻailona hōʻeuʻeu i ka hoʻololi ʻana i nā hana hoʻomana pohihihi e puni ana i kahi kahua archaeological kaulana 3,000 makahiki, wahi a nā loea ʻepekema.

ʻO kahi kiʻi kanaka me ke kino e like me ka nahesa a me kahi ipu hoʻomana i ʻike ʻia he zun ma kona poʻo, ua ʻike ʻia mai ka "lua mōhai" No 8 mai Sanxingdui. Ua hōʻoia ka poʻe kālaihonua e hana ana ma ka pūnaewele i ka Pōʻalima ua loaʻa kekahi mea kiʻi ʻē aʻe i mau makahiki i hala aku nei he ʻāpana haʻihaʻi o kēia mea hou i ʻike ʻia.

I ka makahiki 1986, ua loaʻa kekahi ʻāpana o kēia kiʻi, ʻo ke kino haʻahaʻa o ke kanaka i hui pū ʻia me nā wāwae manu, ma ka lua No 2 ma kahi mau mika ka mamao. ʻO ka hapakolu o ke kiʻi, he mau lima e paʻa ana i kahi moku i ʻike ʻia he lei, ua loaʻa hou i loko o ka lua No 8.

Ma hope o ka hoʻokaʻawale ʻia ʻana no 3 mau makahiki, ua hui hou ʻia nā ʻāpana i loko o ke keʻena mālama mālama e hana i ke kino holoʻokoʻa, he ʻano like me ka acrobat.

ʻElua lua i piha i nā mea keleawe me kahi hiʻohiʻona ʻē aʻe, i manaʻo ʻia e ka poʻe archaeologists ua hoʻohana ʻia no nā hana ʻālana, ua ʻike ʻia ma Sanxingdui i ka makahiki 1986, e lilo ia i mea ʻike nui loa ma Kina i ke kenekulia 20.

ʻEono mau lua hou aʻe i loaʻa ma Sanxingdui i ka makahiki 2019. Ma luna o 13,000 relics, me 3,000 artifacts i loko o ka hale piha, i ʻeli ʻia i ka ʻeli ʻana i hoʻomaka i ka makahiki 2020.

Manaʻo kekahi poʻe akamai i ka wāwahi ʻia ʻana o nā mea waiwai ma mua o ka waiho ʻia ʻana i lalo i nā mōhai e ka poʻe Shu kahiko, ka poʻe i noho aliʻi ma ka ʻāina i kēlā manawa. ʻO ka hoʻohālikelike ʻana i nā mea hana like i hoʻihoʻi ʻia mai nā lua like ʻole e hāʻawi i ka hilinaʻi i kēlā kumumanaʻo, wahi a nā ʻepekema.

"Ua hoʻokaʻawale ʻia nā ʻāpana ma mua o ka kanu ʻia ʻana i loko o nā lua," i wehewehe ʻia ʻo Ran Honglin, he kanaka kālaihonua alakaʻi e hana ana ma ka pūnaewele Sanxingdui. "Ua hōʻike pū lākou ua ʻeli ʻia nā lua ʻelua i ka manawa like. No laila he waiwai nui ka ʻike no ka mea ua kōkua ia iā mākou e ʻike i ka pilina o nā lua a me ke ʻano pilikanaka o nā kaiāulu i kēlā manawa.

Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Ran, mai ka Sichuan Provincial Cultural Relics and Archeology Research Institute, he nui nā ʻāpana haʻihaʻi paha he "puzzles" e kali ana e hui pū ʻia e nā ʻepekema.

"He nui paha nā relics o ke kino hoʻokahi," wahi āna. "He nui kā mākou kahaha e manaʻo ai."

Ua manaʻo ʻia nā kiʻi kiʻi ma Sanxingdui e hōʻike i ka poʻe i loko o ʻelua papa kaiapili nui, ʻokoʻa kekahi i kekahi ma o ko lākou lauoho lauoho. No ka mea, ʻo ka mea hana hou i loaʻa me ke kino e like me ka nahesa he ʻekolu ʻano o ka lauoho, ua hōʻike paha ia i kahi hui o nā kānaka me kahi kūlana kūikawā, wahi a nā mea noiʻi.

ʻO nā mea keleawe i ʻike ʻole ʻia a me nā ʻano kupaianaha i hoʻomau ʻia i loko o nā lua i ka hoʻomau ʻana o ka ʻeli ʻana, i manaʻo ʻia e mau a hiki i ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ka makahiki aʻe, me ka manawa hou e pono ai no ka mālama ʻana a me ke aʻo ʻana, wahi a Ran.

Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Wang Wei, ke alakaʻi a me ka mea noiʻi ma ka Chinese Academy of Social Science 'Academic Division of History, ʻo nā haʻawina o Sanxingdui i ka wā mua. "ʻO ka hana hou aʻe, ʻo ia ke ʻimi ʻana i nā wahi i hoʻoneʻe ʻia o ka hale kiʻi nui, kahi e hōʻike ai i kahi heiau," wahi āna.

Ua ʻike ʻia kahi kahua kūkulu, e uhi ana i 80 mau mika square, kokoke i nā "lua ʻālana" akā ua hikiwawe loa ke hoʻoholo a ʻike i ka mea i hoʻohana ʻia a i ko lākou ʻano. "ʻO ka loaʻa ʻana o nā mausoleum kiʻekiʻe i ka wā e hiki mai ana e hoʻoulu hou i nā hōʻailona koʻikoʻi," wahi a Wang.
