["Gold masks were not common in China at that time, but widely used in Egypt and the Middle East. Some foreign visitors said the mask reminded them of people in their countries," says Zhao Bisong who works at the museum. ]

""The Jinsha culture is quite different from those in other parts of China, and yet is scarcely mentioned by Chinese historians," says Zhu Zhangyi, a veteran archaeologist... w "The harsh geography made it difficult for outsiders to enter the kingdom and so it was able to preserve its endemic culture.""

And because of the lack of recorded history, it is a gold mine of another sort, a goldmine where archaeologists and the like can create a history that incorporates every fantasy possible that archaeologists and historians have ever dreamed. it will be ineresting to see what kind of super culture they come up with. Maybe even clues to their space ship....
