Ancient Settlement in China. Anyang is a prefecture-level city in Henan province. Xiaonanhai, on the far western edge of the city, was home to prehistoric cavemen during the Stone Age.
Over 7,000 artifacts (including stone tools and animal bone fossils) have been unearthed here representing what has been dubbed the Xiaonanhai culture.
Around 2000 BC the legendary sage-kings Zhuanxu and Emperor Ku are said to have established their capitals in the area around Anyang from where they ruled their kingdom. Their mausoleums are today situated in Sanyang village south of Neihuang County.
