An immersive light and shadow show at a museum in Shanghai is showcasing a colorful, three-dimensional and fantastical world of Sanxingdui, delivering a visual feast to the audience.

Meet You Museum staged the immersive exhibition on Thursday and it will run through Dec. 6.
"The exhibition was displayed on the giant screen, which gives me different feelings from visiting the museum and archaeological excavation site," said a visitor.
Chinese archaeologists have discovered the No.1 and No. 2 sacrificial pits in 1986, unveiling the history of the ancient Shu Kingdom, which had its heyday around 3,000 years ago.
The exhibition also presented the latest archaeological discoveries, such as a replica of a kneeling figure with a turned head unearthed from the No. 4 pit at Sanxingdui in 2021. The figure has unusually large hands and sophisticated patterns on the clothing. There is also a standing figure with a pointed hat, unearthed from the No. 3 pit, featuring exaggerated facial features and bulging eyes, with an overall dignified and solemn posture.
"This popular internet-famous artifact, resembling Ultraman, is the first standing figure with a pointed hat we have discovered in this particular form. Such artifacts have been unearthed from No. 3 pit, and there have also been findings in No. 8 pit. We are currently organizing and researching them," said Xu Feihong, lecturer of the School of Cultural Heritage and Information Management at Shanghai University and also the person-in-charge of archeological work in Sanxingdui's No. 3 pit.
Discovered in the late 1920s, the Sanxingdui Ruins have earned the reputation of being one of the world's greatest archaeological findings of the 20th century.
Located in Guanghan City, the ruins covering an area of 12 square km are believed to be the remnants of the ancient Shu Kingdom.
