Mystery of the chinese pyramids




For decades, there is a legend, or arguably the rumor, which circulated in the western world when in a remote location in China, there are many mysterious pyramid that is even larger than the pyramids of Egypt. For decades, the Chinese government and the arkeolognya had denied the existence of these pyramids, and this denial actually makes the western world increasingly interested in investigating.


Is it true that there are pyramids in China? What is actually stored in these pyramids? And Why the Chinese government to deny its existence? However, in the imaging space and google earth, now we can know if the Chinese pyramid-pyramid really exists, even numbered up to 100 fruits. These pyramids are located in the province Xaanshi near the ancient city of Xian.

The Great White Pyramid The Great White Pyramid
In 1983, Bruce Cathie, a New Zealand author admitted that the Chinese government has expressed its pyramids to him if it really exists. But there is nothing mysterious, it's just pyramids tomb of the emperors .

In his book The Bridge to Infinity (1983), Cathie told the origin of the Chinese pyramid is becoming known in the western world. It all stems from the experience of an American air force pilot named James Gaussman. At that time, in 1945, Gaussman are flying between India and China in a routine mission. When his plane experienced engine trouble, he had to reduce altitude. That's when he saw a mysterious Chinese giant pyramid.

In his report, he stated:
"I was flying around a mountain and then we went into the valley. Directly below us, looks a giant white pyramid that seemed to emerge from a fairy tale. Pyramid gleaming white. May be made of metal or certain types of rocks. All the sides are white . But the most interesting is the rock on top of the pyramid - a precious material such as pearls. I'm really amazed with kedashyatan building. "
At that time, arguably if only identical with the Egyptian pyramids. So, should report Gausmann can attract more researchers to the west. However, the report Gaussman only to end up in American military archives. Two years after the report Gausmann, the pyramids of China re-emerged to the surface. Colonel Maurice Sheahan, director of Trans World Airlines admitted that he also saw a giant pyramid of China. Sheahan testimony published in the New York Times on March 28, 1947 article titled "P enerbang Americans see China's giant pyramid in the remote mountains in the southwest of Xian."

In that article, Sheahan said that the pyramid has a height of 300 meters by 450 meters wide. If that estimate is accurate, then the pyramids of Egypt was defeated size of the pyramid that has only 135 meters high. Sheahan also said that the pyramid is located in a valley at the foot of the Qin Ling mountains about 40 miles southwest of Xian. Near the giant pyramid, he reported that there are also hundreds of small bumps similar to a pyramid. But Sheahan's testimony did not mention the existence of stones like pearls on the top of the pyramid. Two days after the article was published in the New York Times, the story was published back in New York Sunday News. This time they display a photograph of the pyramid who later known as the photos taken by Gaussman year 1945.

Since that time this building became the object of debate and speculation. Who built it? What for the building was made? Nobody really know for sure because at that time, China shut out the outside world.

The first breakthrough came several decades later by a German writer named Hartwig Hausdorf. In his book published in 1994 entitled Die Weisse Pyramide (The white pyramid), it showcases a lot of pictures pyramids of China. Hausdorf admitted that he had been permitted by the Chinese government to visit some locations that used to be forbidden to take photographs.Now, China's pyramids are not a secret anymore. We can see the pyramids is from google earth and we can even visit the site directly. Unlike the Egyptian pyramids made of large stones, arguably China's pyramid is made of compacted soil mounds created as a tomb of the emperor. Two of the pyramid is the largest and most famous is the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang and Maoling mausoleum.

Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum
This mausoleum is China's largest pyramid. Is 76 meters high initially, but over time, the pyramid was eroded so that residence 47 meters.Has basically the size of 357 meters X 354 meters. This is the final resting place of Emperor Qin Shi Huang, the first king of the Qin dynasty who built the wall of china and uniting all of China in the year 221 BCE. Near the pyramid is also, in 1974, three farmers who want to make a well accidentally discovered trenches containing teracotta statues which now is one of the most illustrious archaeological sites in the world. According to the book "Records of the Historian: Biography of Qin Shi Huang", the historian Sima Qian (145-90 BC) mentions that this mausoleum has rooms that contain miniature-miniature palace and pavilion with a pool of mercury that flows beneath the sky- sky gems that make up the image of the sun, moon and stars.

In other words, the contents of this shows a replica of the mausoleum of the emperor's kingdom complete with the five sacred mountains in it. Chinese researchers who examined the content of the soil around the mausoleum was discovered that it contains mercury which is quite high. This paper confirms the credibility of Sima Qian. According to Sima Qian, the tomb was built when the Qin Shi Huang is still 13 years old. Workmanship use up to 700,000 workers and completed within 20 years.

The workers move the soil until level with the water level in the soil, then the floor was coated with molten bronze is then overwritten with a stone sarcophagus. When the workmanship is completed, all workers who know the entrance to the tomb was killed to keep it confidential. Until today, the pyramid is still keeping secret since the Chinese government has not dismantled by reason of fear of damaging a valuable part of the cemetery.

Maoling Mausoleum
This mausoleum, which is sometimes called a pyramid of great white, has a base size of 222 meters X 217 meters. This makes it the second largest pyramid in China. This pyramid is a pyramid of his picture in newspapers in New York Sunday News in 1947. In other words, the pyramid is what has been seen by Sheahan, and possibly by Gaussman. However, it seems Sheahan has been mistaken for estimating the height of this pyramid was only about 45 meters high. This mausoleum is the final resting place of Emperor Wu named Liu Che (or Wu Di), who ruled from 157-87 BC. This means that the pyramid is 2000 years old. History records that it takes up to 53 years to complete this building and in it saved many precious objects. In contrast to the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, the mausoleum has been excavated and some precious artifacts stored in museums and exhibits.

Although it was unknown if this same pyramid with the pyramid on the photo that appeared in 1947, many researchers are still baffled by a mystery. According Gaussman, he claims to have seen the material like pearls on the top of the pyramid. However, we can look at the top of the pyramid if it turns out flat, like truncated.



Is Gausmann lie?

Or, if someone has moved the top of the pyramid?

Or maybe, somewhere in China there is still a giant white pyramid 300 feet tall with glossy peaks that have not been found?
