The Shaanxi Academy of Archaeology announced on Thursday that significant archaeological discoveries were made at the Shimao Site in China’s Shaanxi Province in 2022. The remains are from a 4,300-year-old neolithic city that was abandoned some 300 years later during the Xia Dynasty (2100-1600 BC), China’s first dynasty mentioned in historical chronicles. Archaeologists uncovered high-grade cemeteries and 15 vertical pit graves going back about 4,000 years in the central region of Shimao Site.

“I am now in a relatively large vertical tomb. It has a depth of more than 6 meters. These bones are believed to be from young women. It’s obvious that the skeleton is thin. The teeth are well preserved. The skull is not big. The women were less than thirteen or fourteen years old,” explains, Shao Jing, Researcher.

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said the recent peace talks in Istanbul have brought a new dimension to diplomatic efforts on Ukraine and proposed a leaders’ summit hosted by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. “A summit with leaders from Russia, Ukraine, and the US could help achieve a long-term ceasefire,” he said.

Speaking at a joint press conference in Kyiv with Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha, Fidan emphasized Türkiye’s ongoing diplomatic efforts, stating that President Erdoğan has been working actively since the war began. He added that talks in Istanbul on May 16 led to concrete results, including a prisoner swap.

Fidan shared insights from his prior visit to Moscow and said Russia is open to further talks on June 2. He stressed the importance of continuing momentum and involving international actors to build common ground for peace.

Fidan is also scheduled to meet with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Andriy Yermak, Rustem Umerov, and representatives of the Crimean Tatar and Gagauz Turkish communities.
