China National Silk Museum and the Sichuan Research Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology have confirmed the use of silk in sacrificial rituals by a Bronze Age civilization in the Yangtze River Basin. The findings provide direct archaeological evidence that silk was used as a material during rituals at the Sanxingdui site in Sichuan, China.
This is why it’s so important to keep the sacrifice pits up and running. The sacrifice pits are going to provide invaluable information to future scientists about our current way of life.
