The bronze altar unearthed in No.8 Sacrificial Pit provides the most direct evidence for studying the sacrificial scene of Sanxingdui. At the top of this altar, a group of people knelt on the central god beast, depicting 13 worshippers of different shapes. Occupy? C position? Some people sat on the circular altar with a bronze scorpion in their hands. The whereabouts of the three portraits are still unknown, but they rarely vividly reflect the sacrificial crowd.
Second, the plaid bronze ware on the turtle's back is called by netizens? Moonlight box? . This is the first such tool found in eight sacrificial pits in Sanxingdui. Its shape is like a tortoise shell, and there is a piece of jade with the same size in the center, which is carefully wrapped with silk. The instrument can be turned on and off, and has four handles, each with a faucet. The biggest expectation now is to find Yu Pei, patterns and even words. Personally, I think the artifact itself is important enough.
The third tool is equally complicated and complicated. The statue above has birds, scorpions and legs on its head. The tail disappeared during the first excavation, but archaeologists found it in the remains unearthed in the second sacrificial pit. 36 years later, two artifacts? Second time around, once again stunning the world. Pass? Attached? We can not only see the respect of Samsung people for the bronze ritual vessels in the Central Plains, but also see their ingenious creation of organically combining gods with sacrificial tools.
