This 3,000-year-old Chinese civilization had alien masks!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 жов 2024
- In 1986 a startling discovery was made in Sichuan Province, southwest China: two sacrificial pits filled with strange bronze masks, a divine tree meant to connect Heaven and Earth, and a life-sized statue of an enigmatic shaman king. They belonged to a hitherto unknown civilization over 3,000 years old: Sanxingdui.
Its discovery rocked the archaeological world. How was it possible for such an advanced civilization to flourish in a relatively isolated corner of China? Why did they create such wonderful, alien works of art? How did they learn to create bronzeware more advanced than that of ancient Egypt? And most importantly, who were they?

I’m from Chengdu, Sichuan. I do know quite a few people who look like those masks/statues, with somewhat protruding eyes and huge ears.
我也出生在成都，但身边几乎没看过这种长相的老乡
Most of the population of Sichuan today migrated from other provinces, and the time line is Ming Dynasty. This is why the Sichuan dialect is similar to the Ming and Qing mandarin, as people from different provinces can only communicate in mandarin. The original indigenous people of Sichuan 5,000 years ago are no longer there.
My thesis is, that is Mayan influence. Would be interesting if those people would do a DNA test.
. You hit the nail on the bullseye😂🎉
Woah 😲 It looks Mayan-ish.
judging by the level of complexity and amount of metal/bronze artifacts, it seems like mayan was heavily influenced by sanxingdui civilization
I thought the same thing!
@@minus21334 but the bigger question is how was this possible because they were thousands of miles apart? This is the most shocking thing
@@andytan911 not impossible at all if we all were originated from africa.
@@minus21334 the only explanation I could think of was humans coming out of Africa and the trials passed by China 🤔
It's so fascinating nevertheless
Thank you so much for the English narration! This let us all take part in the discovery of the past life on earth.
I have long wanted to visit China. I have many Chinese friends. I pray that our respective Governments grow up and just get along instead of always being disrespectful to each other. Peace and harmony should be the goal of governments.
You are dilutional. Thinking CCP China not the enemy of us all. Thinking USA the same as CCP China. Where do you get this from??
@@danielwilliamsullivan3192 I agree.
Ofc CCP China is not the same as the US oligarchy. They don't have to raid other countries for resources to keep their broken economy going.
Get down from your high horse! Your government is not that altruistic saviour you want it to be.
Btw: this fine man just said that he wanted to go to China one day and just wants to get the govs to get along.
What's wrong with that?
Was it really necessary to call him delusional and go on full patriot mode? :D
A first step would be to accept taiwan
or stop stealing our inventions
@@BoltThrower321 wake up from your stupor!
Some of this art from Shaxingdui looks remarkably like old Mayan art. The masks also bear a certain resemblance to Tiki images from Hawaii.
I was blown away by the resemblance to the Tiki images.
Just goes to show that people living thousands of miles and thousands of years apart cone up with similar ideas. But then we are all descended from the same root and are one people just widely spread.
maybe they came to China or maybe that a gift to China emperor
I think people in the bronze age, and likely before it, traveled the seas a lot more than has ever been thought and so different cultures on different continents that traded with one another also influenced each others art and design. As I recall, there has been jade found in Mayan ruins / artifacts that could have only come from China. It's a long way for those two cultures to cross paths but the more I learn about ancient technology the more it seems very reasonable.
@@oldowl4290 Jade did occur in Mesoamerica but in very small quantities. It was a rare and valued material in pre-Columbian Mesoamerica. The only source from which the various indigenous cultures, such as the Olmec and Maya, could obtain jade was located in the Motagua River valley in Guatemala. That is not to say Bronze age people did not travel across the sea to S/America. Thor Heyerdahl was notable for his Kon-Tiki expedition in 1947, in which he sailed 8,000 km (5,000 mi) across the Pacific Ocean in a hand-built raft from South America to the Tuamotu Islands. Heyerdahl made other voyages to demonstrate the possibility of contact between widely separated ancient peoples, notably the Ra II expedition of 1970, when he sailed from the west coast of Africa to Barbados in a papyrus reed boat.
Very interesting. As some may have alluded, there is a MesoAmerican similarity which may point to a common influence maybe. but the clothing on the tall standing man looks distinctively Chinese.
Also those birds on the tree remind me of Hornbills in Borneo and Dayak/Iban culture. Elephants and Rhinos I believe were prevalent in China at the time.
Many of the original inhabitants in Southern China were pushed further south over time into South East Asia. But this is Near West/South West China. Population movement back and forth. links to the Burmese coast and Indian ocean alluded, plenty of influence may have also come from India.
they look like Polynesian and the Maori structure of New Zealand.
Check out the pre-Incan Chimu and Sican cultures in Peru, the similarities are remarkable! Their legend has the first ruler coming over seas by boat, and their art and religion was different from the cultures there before, they also burned their cities when they left. If these two cultures are related what happened between 2000 years of them leaving China and getting to the coast of Peru around 900ad? Fascinating stuff.
那是原始部落过去的，青铜器没传入中国之前，部落的信仰和传统差不多，
Ahh tianran he is back, I like when he hosts, his passion for the topic and english accent is really good
The features on the masks look almost Mayan.... 🤔
True, actually there are some striking coincidences between Asian cultures and south and mesoamerican ones : jomon culture (Japan) and valdivia culture (Perú) for instance
The features of the mask actually resemble Polynesian statuse like Hawaiian tikis.
Land of Mu.
Im not suprised its copied
@@xamandasiberia The coincidences is all the people from cultures you mention above all have asiatic features too.
These Ancient Chinese people were rated to the time of the Anunaki. It's is said that they were told to go East. Hence the Asian beginning. The others went to the west mainly Central West. The Mayan empire. There are many Pyramids in China begger than Egyptian Pyramids.
And way much older than the ones in Egypt.
Built by early African in China.
@@samuelalfredsokoya9014you can also be African or Asian as well since all humans are the same species
Another excellent presentation by Travelogue & CGTN! Very interesting and informative. Thanks for posting.
3,000 year old artifacts have recently been discovered in China and a mask found at the site resembles these masks.
How funny, I just saw that as well.
Me too!!
I thought it was the same place because the one just featured a day or two ago was at this same location in the same town and region. It also showed the same building but before completion. Dates were wrong on the most recent video I guess or something similar.
@@Julia-uh4li exactly!
It's the same place 🤦🏻♀️.
Its just that the "recent" video had wrong dates & incorrect info on when they were very first discovered.
They recently found more but this location was first discovered long ago.
But ya, it's the same place.
Very intriguing documentary CTGN and Li Hui! I never knew about this civilization until now! Some images reminded me of the Inuit native artistry in Alaska and British Columbia. If this culture was on the edge of the borders of the ancient civilizations of China maybe they came from another area, like the Chichen at Chichen Itza and the surrounding Maya people in Mexico. The surrounding Maya to the Chichen, like at Uxmal, and Mayapan... referred to the Chichen as the people with a foreign tongue, something like that, making the distinction the Chichen spoke another language and came from somewhere else. The Chichen sacred symbols were different then the Maya too. They theorize the Chichen came from the north. Maybe the Sanxingdui came from far to the west. I wonder if those are Wooly Mammoth tusks they found in the sacrificial pit. Maybe the tusks were found in the tundra far north, or maybe they are present day elephant tusks. I wonder why there were no human remains.
We presently consider that the first humans arrived on the northern continent of America's from the Asian northwest some time at the end of the Pleistocene, approximately 15,000-14,000 C years BP. A short time later (ca. 12,500 C years), they had already reached the Southern Cone of South America. There's no reason to believe that there were not successive waves of Asians reaching central or south America bringing their culture with them. See Politis et al. (2015).

no human remains... hmmm... no way to determine lineage thru DNA... fishy... hmmm
Mayans and Chinese look similar and these masks are similar to Mayan statues
We have to rewrite human history of civilization. Very interesting!
The masks look ancient Hindu/ Balinese/Mayan in features...
They look exactly like the carvings at angkor watt in cambodia
Maya for sure as well.
And Polynesian too...
The common link is the aliens.
No no no no no no no.
11:48 The most famous of these unearthed cultural relics. A huge bronze statue (2 meters height). He wore traditional Chinese clothing. There is a dragon totem in the center of the clothes. There is a crown on the head. This is obviously the identity of the Chinese emperor or aristocracy.
Wow... I have always been so fascinated by Chinese History and this adds more embers to that fascination.
*adds some charcoal and a few hardwood logs to those embers, it's a slow process learning about history.
Haha there are way more to it like way more and some aren’t confirmed.
So much more we don't know.
This looks like what you see in Mexico or Central America.
I think you are onto something. Same with similarities of Tibet and South America. For what ever reason migration, cataclysm etc people we more mobile than we know a
either that or India...
Well there was this fashion show about 2 years ago..I am yet to look it up..but they were off this island by the Philipines and EVERYONE is speaking spanish, that spanish that speak the Salvadoreans. So Im assuming that alot of spanish speakers came from what is now Philipines and all..problem is..how did they travel the Pacific Ocean when today no one is allowed to even fly over the pacific.
And yes, I went to see the artifacts here in Houston, Texas specifically thkse of Mexico. The peculiar face masks are really close in resemblance. The holes in the ears and the square design of the face. There is somethi g that we havent been told obviously. There is a bug gap of history that would unite alot of the countries although divided by a vast sea.
and Burma...
so this is where the mayans got their rice for their burritos lol...alot of that stuff looks like mayan...i saw some symbols that looked mayan...both cultures love jade....22:47 mayan tree of life??jungle parrots?its a trip...the birds look so mayan lol..
I am a Dayaknese North Kalimantan with Chinese surnames. I could find Dayak North Kalimantan and East Kalimantan culture alot in China. 😅 including these statues and all things there in Yunnan, Dian Ancient Chinese Kingdom and in this video...sanxingdui. they look alike hudoq mask of dayak. one of the head birds there is a symbol of mandao dayak sword. How come 😅😅
Indeed, the Dayak people are descendants of the ancient Dian people who immigrated to Indonesia because of the war. Experts and scholars have inspected your village. The bronze house cultural relics unearthed in the ancient Dian Kingdom are exactly the same as the houses you are building now. I am Chinese. Welcome to Yunnan, China.
MOST intriguing. So much we dont know. Europe also has old civilisations that disappeared. This culture must be very advanced to have such intricate bronze. China as a feel has about 5000 yo civilisation. so far not much except some evidence, like the great floods and legendary kings 4000 years ago were assumed to be myths in Sima Qian's history books, but now proven by geologists as a certainty. Also exquisite cutlery made 6000 years ago. Well, fascinating China.

worldwide catastrophe buried most of the advanced civilizations which are still compact in the earth, whole villages and towns/cities. The objects found were not part of a sacrifice and burnt..they were burnt due to the situation occurring in that area.
China has the first writing system as well.(ancient scripts)
@@lewimcpherson9276 Actually those are sacrificial pits! and archaeologists know how to differentiate between a pit where objects were buried after the sacrificial rituals and an area where a building or a city were destroyed by fire, not the same at all!
@@Ukw975 China doesn't have the first, but it *possibly* (in it's oldest form) is the longest running in-use writing system. The Sumerians and Egyptians had writing long before China
COMPLETELY FASCINATING. What a Wonderful video.
Thank you for sharing these Marvellous Artifacts. - GLORIOUS!
I'm sharing this!
Blessings Always : )
A breathtaking discovery and very eye opening. I have to compliment the camera work also. This is one of the few documentaries that is a pleasure to watch from start to finish. Looking forward to more from this stable
This really is a magnificent discovery when you consider the size, the lack of plundering and the unusual facial replicas! It does make me wonder how or why they chose the shapes you see here. What they produced before these discoveries, when or how they learned to find the source of the metals, melt them and create such a high quality craftsmen ship ! Amazing!
The Faces remind me of Moʻai, or moai, the monolithic human figures on Easter Island and the art style of Hawaiian Tiki Gods statues, Or is it just me think ing this ? Perhaps ancient sea farers traveled further afield and more frequently that the Experts are willing to admit ? I mean obviously, judging by ancient megalithic architecture with big similarities, all over the world, our ancestors did everything big ! Also, to the "Experts" , Not everything is a temple or secular, Your supposed to be experts, stop treating everyone else like we are blind and stupid please !
This is a very great documentary. Thank you for making such a comprehensive documentary about the archaeological discovery of the Kingdom of Shu.
All people, races and nation comes from one place. You can even see the resemblances in their art . Bottom line, we were one race... the Human Race
What race are you specifically??

@@Joshua-bf3pb tell that to the kids being molesting by the Catholic church
almost looks like south/central/mexican artifacts.
There is a hole where the pineal gland (third eye) would be on the mask that almost seems to be blinded with stakes in its eyes.
True.
Could be connected to the Dharma religions, thus wiped out by the next dynasty.
giving me an easter island vibe. the big heads... so interesting. wow.
An outstanding presentation.! Much of past history remains hidden and unknown.
The faces look completely human. What the hell are you talking about?
The mask types resembles the typical art of similar origin from prehistoric megalithic age on miscellaneous stone carvings at Pasemah observed by Van Der Hoop 1932 ..
it amazes me that cities just disappear into obscurity with the times.
Yeah, like Detroit.
All down to mankind's Greed Ego, & lust of power, which destroys civilisations.
Read the history of the world, the answer lies there.
Think about where America will be in 3000 years. It amazes me China has been a country for as long as it has.
They got the wrath from the real God. Wiped them away like useless dust.
What lyes beneath the Sahara
Design pieces are a mix of Mayans, Aztecas, mezoamerican civiliziations AND Chinese.
Funny they all look like they knew each pre history...looks like Chinese and African were in the americas before recorded history the similaritys in the shared looks and cultures the South American cultures have the narrow eyes only seen in Asia and the shared looking artwork and stories and many such things
Or probably all made in a Chinese factory and buried to find to create a huge tourist attraction $$$ just saying lol
perhaps our ancestors also had global trading
@@唐明-g3k This is what I think too mate...I think once we were completely mixed all colours n creeds or race whatever you want to call it I think there was a global society that has been lost...theres old photos off all diff people in diff areas from the past...black skinned Chinese people...the Ainu from Japan the original inhabitants were white euro or Russian looking some with slight Asian features some has no Asian features and some looked completely Asian but all very distinct looking...they wore the samurai type clothes but white euro looking...and as you say these society's definatly had trading and I would say alot more than just that...cheers
de oliveira, who knows, maybe it's the other way around, maybe it is Chinese AND the rest.
Regardless of whether these sculptures depict people or, according to some, UFOs - their artistic value is remarkable: sure lines, with unbroken edges! This is already a mature artistic direction, which, if it had appeared today, would have been classified as modern art. You can also see that this trend appeared on objects other than human heads. Such a clean world of forms can only appear after many precedents!
These bronze castings could not be worn by people as masks. because you couldn't see out of them" They couldn't be masks!
Ancient Civilization is very interesting,but it opens up more Questions then it answers, the musk faces look alien as the eyes are wide set and more oval shaped.....the question is Who made them? Who made the staff? and the bronze tree absolutely magnificent!!!
Maybe ETs visited their ancestors and the looked like that
How do you know what an "Alien" looks like?
The Shu people. Related to Hmong ethnic group.
Looks like mask in Peru machupichu
This seems to be a rather misleading title for this video. These masks and statues are interesting and indeed mysterious, but not alien!
I think they add the word, ''Alien'' to attract the Atheists.

& Past history of mankind shows how kings & rulers have altered written & spoken text, through out history.
Greed & Egos runs this materialistic world now.
Paleontologists, Historians and geologist know about a few mass extinctions and possibly more than one flood. But they are walking in the dark as long as they ignore ancient texts, like the Indian Mahabharata and the Mayan Popol Vuh, that tell us that the Earth suffers from a cycle of seven natural disasters. Those disasters are causing massive floods, earthquakes, firestorms, and a bombing of meteors every few housand years. These disasters create a cycle of civilizations. One of these civilizations lives more than 10,000 years and reaches a higher level of knowledge and skills than we have now. Their civilization ended 20,000 years ago because of the next recurring disaster. If you don't know this cycle, history is incomprehensible. To learn much more about the cycle of civilizations, recurring floods, and ancient high technology, read the eBook: "Planet 9 = Nibiru". Search for: invisible nibiru 9
Notice that the gilding was done with gold foil hammered to the thickness of an atom, which is called "gold smoke" - they were in possession of this technique!
Tusks are not likely from foreign trade. Even today-asian elephants swim from one island to others in the sea of Indonesia - where the style of the masks and other sculptings are almost identical with these. So is it unlikely that todays Chinese came from Eszkimos (nomads as always) interacted, mixed with these malays?🐱👤🐼
It seems you found the final period of a great civilisation. You must find the much older beginning of this civilisation.
Indus civilisation dates back to 6-8000 years back. Please research & enjoy.

My first thought was Polynesian or Tlingit (or any other tribe that makes totem poles)
I just love how he said how to achieve such an engraving today on the gold belt it could only be achieved through laser etching.
I think that there was a united world advanced civilisation. They had advanced technology. I think there was a massive cataclysm 12'500 to 6'000 years ago that saw the fall and loss of this civilisation and technology.
interesting
Did I miss anything? Why is it call Sanxing Dui? Sanxing in Chinese means three stars. Does it mean it has something to do with Orion's Belt? If if does, I have to say these ancient beings maybe aliens from the three stars of the the Belt.
Very interesting! We would have to check if the chinese characters used to write Sanxing are the ones 三星 so they mean indeed 3 stars
the 1st middle kingdom dynasty is Xia Dynasty Xia in chinese is summer. it was a Sumerian civilization started by the reptilian Dragon people. we chinese human are descendants of Lemurian . the Xia chinese character is similar to Kemet Dynasty character, especially with the Owl and a x character symbol.

Interesting... I don't see anything Asian. There is a kind of similarities to ancient
South American objects
@Hulagu Mongke Calling people names is childish and discourages people from wanting to learn. We should want to teach others not humiliate them for what they don't yet know. We are all ignorant. We need to remember that.
@Hulagu Mongke from like 50 thousand years ago, not 3000 years ago
Early China was like this. This was dated earlier (or at least same age) than those Chinese oracle bone scripts. Sacrifice rituals and Chinese sorcery were still the main practice of worshiping gods and ancestors.
@Jack Ophelott He said the European colonized America bringing with them slaves, don't you get it or you're just dumb?
They look like a mix between Mayan and Chinese
I would like to sit in front of these masks and gaze at them.
Just gaze at the COVID masques for now...🤧🥵
Go! I did! Amazing stuff. and I bought few replicas for my study room!
11:14
What a craftsmen incredible
@CGTN thank you for this very interesting video
Toltec civilization has similar masks
Awesome and reminds one of the artefacts of the Benin Empire.. one world, one people
its look the same to our native in Borneo Kalimantan or toba and toraja Indonesia i think it related ancestor
I can say that chinese ppl arrived to what we call now the " americas" before the Spanish the huge difference with the european conquest is that they didn't destroy our culture , super what happened with our natives.
The birds on the tree look like toucans, they must have had trading routes with South Americans. Maybe including the easter island 🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿.
The sticking out things on the mask remembers me that Inkas and others used kristalls to alter their view.
Koreans: Its ours
That was the civilization of Old Viet
They are from Sichuan, very far away from the Old viet
Farmers play such a pivotal role in discovering lost civilizations and ancient artifacts. I guess the farmers are compensated and relocated somewhere else so the land can be dug up and artefacts processed.
How come we are now learning about this? Why doesn’t China share all these beautiful studies before. I am so glad China is finally sharing their art from ancient civilizations. I bet. These artifacts are way older then they say. Can carbon date the bronze in the USA I bet we can find elements that we didn’t know could be made.
Because this is just discovered
Because western media only shows negative things of China and tends not to show positive things of China.
Because these artifacts do not belong to ancient Chinese people, but from another ethnic and culture. Chinese gov would share these images but never reveal the DNA test result of the human remains.
@@Leon-ty6bw Oh, really, have every country find something like this before?
That's one handsome host :)
"Great masters in ancient times (...) As they were thus beyond men's knowledge" Laozi ~600 b.c. So when those masters lived and trived, so 600 b.c. was times of decline of this ancient civilization? At least 1500 b.c.?
Aliens from the three stars of the the Belt
Guys think picasso think dali think Monet etc. Those artists lived in a span of 100 years and many more artists, what makes us humans is our ability to create we created everything we are our own gods and our own aliens. Should there be aliens in space they are probably not even as advanced as we are believe only in yourselves we do not need to think there is a higher power. Make the best of you you have be creative nd creat for future generations.
These are works of art... that's all
For me they look like Mayan or Aztecs from Andes - not Egyptian. The birds and the masks look similiar to Quetzalcoatl in Wiki. I would find it interesting when there was a trade route to the Andes... which would explain the use of gold and the symbols on the golden stick too. And maybe some Mayan stayed there and build this city this would explain why the neighbours did not talk about them in the history book. People might have married the locals, and the city was given up later on for various reasons and disappeared into the unknown.
it looks mayan or even olmec.
maybe you can see the remnants of this civilization still alive on the island of Samosir, Lake Toba, Indonesia. Find it, 22hr 35min from Chengdu, Sichuan, China.
A magnificent discovery and marvellous presentation. The perplex Sandinxhui mask similar to mayan or tiki cultures are beyond comprehension. Unfortunately writers are septical on its origin or tried to infered that it came from the west dishonoring the find.
I’m from Guanghan!
Probably burial site of some minority tribe before the Han Chinese migrated into Szechuan province.
It's actually been said that the Sanxingdui culture as well as later the Shierqiao culture were part of the state/kingdom of Shu , coexisting with the Eastern Zhou state which at those time was going through the Speing and Autumn period and then the Warring States period
So many people dont realise that the Mayan civilisation ran from 420 AD ( now denominated CE for current era) to 900 AD. That is 3500 years after the demise of this Chinese society. For Europeans 420 AD was after the troubles that ended the western Roman Empire. (The Eastern Roman empire is also known as Byzantium and continued in existence for some time.) Elsewhere in India the first university in the country was founded in 450 CE following on from previous dynasties stretching back to 3000BCE. The Aztecs of Mexico were dominant from 1300 CE. So the great civilisations of S America were relatively recent. Indeed the Spanish invaders of the 15th century caused, through conquest and disease, the demise of the Aztec civilisation.
They look similar to Canadian Native totem pole carvings. So the Natives of Canada were Chinese?
Duh
Looks like south east asia people heritage.. mainly austronesian.,
Wow this job is perfect for this host! Fluent in Chinese AND with perfect English
And he's got a bubbly playful personality, such as when he played with the Sun symbol like a car wheel, unlike most Chinese historians who are very serious. Actually Chinese people are just like other people around the world, many are drop dead hilarious. Watch out the negative portrayal of Chinese by the Anglosphere as a bunch of El Stiffos.

Ironic, ᛁ was there at the museum and my mom was telling me about the theory. Then here ᛁ am now watching this thats been recommended, what a coincidence.
there are no coincidences
My compliment goes to the host because of his excellent presentation. I've found him so good that I thought: If he was selling groceries a the local market I would buy his stuff, and if he were my local politician I would certainly vote for him. He's good for sure!
I wonder if there were objects that would be hung from the protruding eye stakes in the mask, and lit like a candle.
Or maybe the mask was like a template, pressed into clay, with the clay being a mask, and the stakes would leave holes in the clay relief to see out of. (I guess they would have found remains of that then...)
The very large ears is an ethnic marker evident in meany megalithic busts. This speaks to an advanced world wide civilization that was lost in one of several world wide catastrophes. Soon our current technologies will be able to detect the time capsule like libraries that are out there awaiting discovery.
So much of our human history is buried, destroyed, or hoarded. We all should have access to this info. Things don't add up...
I would like to know (such a beautiful docu brings more questions than answers...) If the archaeologists have already found tombs, which could so much information about rituals, believes and, in the lucky chance they've already found bones, information about the Bio characteristics of that ethnic group. Cannot wait for more discoveries...
Another consideration: it seems like the Sanxingdui culture has been terminated at the same time when, in the Mediterranean basin, happened the Bronze Age Collapse. Could have been a worldwide climate change that has affected all the planet?
Looks more of a mix of Ainu, Polynesian, Eskimo and Northwest Natives, Olmec, Incas and Mayan, Culture, figurines and design?!? Probably the totem poles from Polynesians, Northwest Native tribe derived from the sacred tree???
Who is this guy??? only found in Greece and Egypt? mate what western education did you..nvm!! firstly south America, North America, West Africa and India all had very old ancient statues and masks etc. West Africa had Bronze statues and masks. Please educate yourself before making videos like this.
Reminds me of the art in NW Washington Salish Tribes
Fantastic!!! i thought of peoples of pacific islands, natives of north west USA, natives of central america, in some details of the masks, and decorations. The rooster reminded me of a story on how chickens are same kind in Peru and Easter Island. Humans have always traveled great distances by currents and the stars, to meet and trade. Great, thanks :)!!!
