New and weird masks and stuff have been found in China's Sanxingdui Ruins dig.
Among the newly unearthed bronze statues, one standing figure is being jokingly called the ancient "ancestor" of the popular Japanese superhero "Ultraman" by many Chinese netizens due to the pointed crown on its head and his large pair of protruding eyes.
Apparently it dates to 2,966-3,148 years ago, during the late Shang Dynasty (c.1600BC-1046BC). Whatever that means...
Anyway There are three relics made from unknown materials.
Have a look, amateur armchair archeologycels....
