新疆發現神秘無史料記載古城遺址 面積4千多平米

據新疆和靜縣文物局23日透露，該縣文物保護工作人員對新疆巴侖臺至依爾根鐵路沿線的古遺址進行考察，首次發現一處目前尚無史料記載的古城遺址。

Urumqi (CNS) -- The ruins of an ancient city have been discovered in an area along a railway near Hejing county in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, according to the local cultural relics bureau on Tuesday.

The site has been well preserved, but no historic records concerning the trapezoidal site, which covers an area of 4,307 square meters, have been found.

Based on its location, the city may have been a post on the ancient Silk Road, according to an expert at the Hejing county cultural relics bureau.
