Historical evolution

This is a defensive facility that was repaired in modern times (Qing Dynasty). There are mainly two castles with air holes on them. However, from the perspective of many ancient tombs and mummies more than 10 meters away, they are the same as Wubao. A large number of pieces of pottery are scattered on the gravel ground, including coarse and fine sand red pottery, and painted pottery with horizontal, vertical and triangular patterns. In 1998 and 1999, some people robbed tombs for many times, and the mummies were abandoned on the ground. The environment here is extremely dry and hot. The ancient river bed drips no water. It is speculated that the ancient castle was used from the Bronze Age to the Han, Tang, Ming and Qing Dynasties. All these are still mysteries, which need to be studied by experts, scholars and archaeologists.
