Beijing: Chinese archaeologists have unearthed the ruins of two ancient cities dating back 4,000 years.

The square-shaped cities were discovered in the central province of Henan, said Ma Xiaolin, deputy director of the provincial cultural heritage bureau.

One of the cities is believed to be the capital of a tribal state of the Xia dynasty (2100 B.C. - 1600 B.C.). The other was a key military town of the early Shang dynasty (1600 B.C. - 1100 B.C.), Xinhua reported.

The two cities are located in the Wangjinglou relics site in Xinzheng city, covering an area of 1.68 million square metres.

The military town has a 2,000 square metre gate, and also includes moats, roads and tombs.
