Ten mysteries surrounding the Longyou cave complex in China đ … Science does not know the answers to them đđ
A mystery, which continues to amaze scientists from many fields, are the Longyou Caves, which are located near the village of Shenbeichun in China's Zhejiang province. This mysterious underground city with 36 cave halls, stone bridges and pools, it is rightly considered the eighth wonder of the world. Nevertheless, it fell into oblivion for many centuries and only in 1992 they were accidentally discovered by an inquisitive local villager. Since then, the caves have raised more questions than satisfactory answers đđ
1. How the ancient builders could do it?
Carved out of relatively hard siltstone, the caves reach deep around 30 meters and have straight walls and ceilings, which are supported by tall stone pillars. Assumed, that such a thing could arise, It must be produced nearly one million cubic meters of stone! Scientists have calculated the, at least here day and night for a period of at least six years of age had to work around a thousand people. But they took into account only the hard manual work and also to them did not include a fine, precise and balanced decoration of cave space. The volume of labor was in fact even bigger.
Cave with carved walls and ceilings, high pillars and stone stairs are very spacious, indented and contain a lot of special structures.
2. Why there are no written reports?
None of the scientists have no idea, What technical means and methods the then builders used to use, because it was not found in the caves neither forgotten working tool. Also you won't find no trace after some construction activities, Although there is handled with one million cubic meters of stone. It is also a special, that such a huge complex, the cost an enormous amount of work and had to take a few years, doesn't fall in any of the historical sources nowhere even mention!
The columns are high over the 10 FT.
3. Why are all the cave so carefully decorated with the same patterns?
Each cave is down from the ceiling covered with arranged in parallel lines, carved on a regular and precise intervals to each wall and stone pillar. With something like that you have to be a lot of work to win, male power and endless hours. But why? Had this single decor some symbolism? Single, What do we know, is, similar patterns were decorated ceramics found in the surrounding area, that comes from the 500 up to 800 years before Christ.
In the caves there is some artificial underground lakes.
4. What Lake?
The caves were first discovered, some areas were flooded by water, that was probably for a very long period of time. Only after the, What is the water from cave space managed to drain the, It was found, It isn't a natural lakes similar to those, that are located in the adjacent area, which locals call the "bezednĂœmi Lakes". You are very deep and the fish in them, literally. But in an equally deep cave Lakes has not been discovered fish not one and the same or any other sign of the aquatic life. While the water in the Lake was so clear, It was clear to see to its bottom!
Only two have so far been made available to the cave. The others are overwhelmed with a coating of mud, and the Chinese are working on their cleansing.
5. How it, they are so perfectly preserved cave?
While the surrounding scenery marked by numerous floods in the last centuries, calamity and war, the underground cave of the structure remained after two millennia of absolutely untouched! There are no signs of collapse, No piles of rubble or other damage, which is due to the fact, they are the walls of the cave halls thin only 50 inches, something incredible. The decoration of the walls is so clear and pure, as if the cave someone yesterday stood!
Some claim, that may have been planning to link individual caves.
6. The workers at work's lighting, When did not use fire?
Whereas, in what depth of the cave is found, "they had to now, builders of his arduous and precise work with something light. "There had to be a lamp, because the entrance to the cave is very small, so the Sun's rays can penetrate into the cave just in a certain angle and at a certain time. When he met deeper into the cave, the light faded and the floor of the cave is hardly able to see something,"he said the professor from the University of Tongji, Jia Gang. But in a time of two thousand years ago people could shine a torch only. In the caves, however, found no trace of fire or smoke.
Some believe, that the aliens have created underground spaces.
7. Why not cave linked?
The strange thing is, that all 36 the caves are spread over an area of a mere one kilometre square. Due to the high density, tenkosti walls and, How are the cave's strikingly similar, is a special, that were not linked to. On the contrary, it seems to, that their original intention was to build a builders is separated. However, we have no idea, for what reason.
It is strange, in China, with 5 a thousand years of ancient culture was so significant construction work, forgotten.
8. Who is built?
Some scientists have said, It is impossible and illogical, a giant task on themselves voluntarily loaded the simple country folk. Only a powerful ruler or political group could organize this mammoth project, that's nothing enters with great wall of China, built by the Emperor of China to defend your country. It has, however, one catch. When the Emperor ordered that the construction of the, Why is it there is no written mention?
In the cave is also a lot of not-too-thick stone walls. Why have not been deleted and instead were left in the middle of the vast Hall?
9. How did they reach such accuracy?
The caves are the Organization's, the style and decor, incredibly similar. They have the form of large halls with smaller rooms around the, which are characterized by equal and equally strong walls with distinct edges and corners. While the caves are separated, so the builders could not see, What work the others next to. Still, if the walls of the probouraly, lines carved into the walls would have resulted in parallel, so are accurate. To do this, the masons needed advanced measuring instruments. "They had to have some sketches featuring the size and spatial location and distance between the caves,"tvrdĂYang of the Archaeological Institute of the Chinese Hongxun Academy of social sciences.
The entrance to the caves is narrow and the underground areas are so very dimly lit.
10. What cave complex actually served?
Yet none of the experts, that is the crucial issue dealt with the, did not bring a convincing answer. One could go on the graves of the ancient emperors or about secret government facilities, Alternatively, a huge warehouse. But nowhere were found or remains and funeral equipment, or no traces of human habitation of the area. Another one of the hypotheses is, that benefit rare species of mineral minerals, but then it is strange, all the caves are so precise, decorated with. Last but not least, it was claimed, the Emperor gave to underground spaces to hide its military units, should be from the wrath of the rebel peasants, or to hide, the army is preparing for war. But this theory is contrary to fact, that the complex not right, but its construction several years. In addition â and this is the whole thing that's the most remarkable â nowhere in the cave were found no traces of human activity!
Mysterious caves from 29 ° 39′ 34” to 29 ° 47′ 7” North latitude, and is the only cave group found at 30 ° North. To make matters worse, they came with their bit to the mill and zĂĄhadologovĂ©, who noticed, the cave is located close to the 30. degree of North latitude, where are all the centers of ancient civilizations, Egyptian pyramids, Noah's Ark, HimĂĄlĂĄj, or the equally mysterious Bermuda triangle!
