Archaeologists have discovered the remains of a lost city in China that thrived more than 4,000 years ago.

On a ridge above China’s Tuwei River, researchers found a massive stepped pyramid that once served as a palace centre, along with defensive stone walls, tool-making debris, and several pits filled with sacrificial human skulls.

The Bronze Age discoveries challenge our understanding of early Chinese civilization and settlement, suggesting the loess highland was home to a complex society long before the traditionally assumed ‘centers’ emerged in the Central Plains.
