White pyramid. Pyramids in China - a mystery for tourists Coordinates of the Chinese white pyramid

The first photograph of the pyramid was taken during the Second World War by the American pilot D. Gausman. Returning from another operation, the engine of his plane began to malfunction. This caused him to lose altitude, and a strange structure appeared in the area of ​​the Chinese plains.

It was a gigantic structure that amazed the imagination with its grandeur and grandeur. The pilot, taking advantage of this luck, quickly took photographs of the structure and attached them to his report to the highest federal services in America.

Later, in the 60s, the Chinese pyramids were accidentally discovered by aviator Bruce Kathi from New Zealand. He found the diaries of traders from Australia who made an excursion to Shanxi Province at the beginning of the 20th century. From their notes, he realized that they had also identified mysterious structures in central China. Having collected all the data, Kati made a sketch of 16 pyramids located near the city of Qiyan.

And only in the spring of 1994, an archaeologist from Austria Hartwig Hausdorff received official permission from the Chinese authorities to travel to areas closed to tourists. First he discovered 6 giant pyramids. Later, upon arriving in China in the fall of the same year, he filmed a short documentary about them. His surprise knew no bounds when, while viewing these videos, he discovered more than a hundred more pyramids in the distance!

Most of the pyramids are concentrated in the Qiyangyan region. The territory where they are located is mostly desert, and agricultural work is constantly carried out on it. Some pyramids are located in close proximity to the city - already a mile away the archaeologist noticed a structure of regular geometric shape about 70 meters high.



Hausdorff established that from the top of this pyramid one can see 17 similar structures, located in rows, in pairs or individually. A few miles from this “city of heights,” the archaeologist discovered another cone-shaped structure with a flat top. He found striking similarities with a Mexican pyramid called Teotihuacan.

The government officially confirmed the existence of about 400 pyramids in China only in 2000. The largest of them was called the "Great White". Small structures have been recognized as burial mounds, although most scientists believe that the first Chinese pyramids previously acted as energy conductors and were of extraterrestrial origin.

Valley of the Pyramids of China

This section of the Chinese plain is a complex valley in which the pyramids are located. It extends near the city of Xi'an and includes a gigantic complex of interconnected structures. The length of the Valley of the Pyramids is about 50 km, and its shape resembles the Milky Way.

The first and most amazing pyramid of the Valley is called the Maolin Mausoleum. It was here that archaeologists found thousands of clay statues of traders, ancient warriors and peasants. But scientists have not found a single sign indicating that this building is the tomb of the emperor.



Absolutely all pyramids are built from natural material – clay rock called “loess”. The structures have a square or rectangular base, and some are installed on small embankments or platforms about three meters high. Individual pyramids have many steps, the height of which is about a meter or two, but there are also buildings of a smooth shape, without any ledges.

Yasen Park is of particular importance in the Valley of the Pyramids. It is located 15 km from Xi'an and consists of 20 monolithic buildings. When examining the pyramids, it turned out that they were also never the tombs of ancient emperors, since they do not have internal space.

The uniqueness of Yasen Park is that all its pyramids are accurate indicators of the cardinal directions and have the same shape with a truncated top. The largest three elevations of the valley form an interesting schematic arrangement, very reminiscent of the plan for building the pyramids in Egypt.

The Chinese pyramids of the valley are very ancient, are in poor condition and have significant damage. Local residents did not attach much value to these buildings, often using their land for cultivation of fields and on their farms.



The first of them were erected back in 1032. BC during the period of the power of the ancient eastern rulers of the Xia clan. Now the pyramids require reconstruction, since many of them are covered with deep cracks, heavily damaged and close to final disappearance.

Mysterious White Pyramid

All the pyramids of the Celestial Empire have a common feature - their height ranges from 25-100 meters. Only one building is unique in its size, which is located near the Jia Lin River and has a height of about 300 meters - almost 2 times more than the Cheops Pyramid. This is the Great White Pyramid, majestic, gigantic, striking in its appearance and royalty.



Scientists suggest that the White Pyramid is the tomb of the great emperor of the Qin dynasty. During its construction, about 700 thousand people died, and their remains were laid in the walls of the structure and compacted with multi-ton layers of earth. An amazing discovery was the location of the remains - the bones were randomly mixed, as if the bodies of the builders were torn to pieces before death.

Upon further study, a version emerged that the dead servants of the emperor did not build the pyramid, but only cut a long tunnel leading into the room. The opening of the White Pyramid, during which a powerful explosion occurred, took place in 200 BC. The ancient builders did not just open it - during the entrance, the high-tech mechanism laid down by the ancient civilization was destroyed.

Why are the Chinese silent?

The pyramids are carefully hidden - their edges are densely planted with fast-growing tree species that hide the buildings from prying eyes. This disguise allowed the Chinese to keep them secret for a long time, claiming that they were just hills and mountains. On some of the ancient structures, local residents grew rice crops, while the rest were densely overgrown with forest.



Just recently, China declared the area where the White Pyramid is located a closed zone, inaccessible to foreign tourists and researchers. The government of this country has built a base on the territory near the hills for launching rockets and satellites into space. Archaeologists and scientists from other countries are also not allowed to visit the pyramids, believing that these structures will only be explored by Chinese archaeologists of the next generation.

The secret of the Chinese pyramids is reliably protected by the state, not giving the slightest chance to researchers. What are the Chinese trying to hide, what are they afraid of? Some scientists believe that the Chinese authorities do not want to study the pyramids because they are very afraid of finding ancient manuscripts there that will completely change our understanding of the creation of the Earth.

Recently, strong magnetic fields were discovered in the "Valley of Black Bamboo". This zone is located in the Chinese settlement of Jilin, near the plains where the pyramids rise. In these mysterious places, people disappear, aircraft crash, and the compass needle wanders erratically. When people find themselves in this place, they experience memory loss and do not orient themselves in space.

This suggests some kind of extraterrestrial force that erects barriers to protect the pyramids from outside visitors. It can be assumed that this unusual place belongs to a civilization of aliens, who may control all its processes.

It is also assumed that the inhabitants of the Celestial Empire keep the Chinese pyramids secret for another reason. Most likely, the government of this country does not have a firm belief that these majestic buildings belong to Chinese culture. There is a version that the ancient pyramids were built not by the Chinese, but by mysterious alien creatures who left them as a gift unique technologies and materials from extraterrestrial civilizations.



Sons of Heaven or Martians?

According to ancient Chinese legend, the pyramids are evidence of a visit to our Earth by alien creatures. According to legend, at the beginning of the century, two merchants from Australia traveled to the Sichuan Plains and discovered more than a hundred Chinese pyramids. The old monk told the traders that these buildings belonged to the era of the reign of emperors who were confident in the existence of extraterrestrial worlds.

The ancient manuscripts of the emperors indicate that the pyramids were built more than 5 thousand centuries ago. In addition, the rulers testified that they were the heirs of the “Sons of Heaven”, who flew to the planet on huge thundering dragons made of iron. They were the builders of the pyramids.

There are suggestions that aliens from other planets, maybe from Mars, were involved in the construction of the pyramids. This was confirmed by space photographs of the Martian relief, on which elevations of unknown origin are clearly visible, shaped like the White Pyramid.

The energy power of the pyramids

According to scientists' hypotheses, the largest Chinese pyramids are interconnected and perform a special function. It is known that if electronic stations of the same power are built in different parts of the planet, their flows can be transmitted across the globe.

And perhaps these ancient elevations were built specifically to transmit signals or impulses, and their location is directly related to a certain electronic process.



A version has emerged that, in all likelihood, if you sit inside the pyramid in a designated place, its special design allows you to keep in touch and transmit thoughts over long distances. Contacts could extend beyond the planet, allowing communication with alien civilizations. But all these are just assumptions, while scientists do not have real answers to all the questions.

The earthquake opened three pyramids

Of course, the easiest thing would be not to believe in the existence of extraterrestrial civilizations and classify them as fiction. However, the mystery of the Chinese pyramids unites many more inexplicable events that happened in reality. In 1959, a powerful earthquake occurred near the city of Wuhan, which affected the change in relief in this area. During the disaster, part of the rocks shifted and three cone-shaped elevations were revealed - giant pyramids 45 thousand years old!

Chinese scientists managed to get inside the pyramid and through its passages, reminiscent of a labyrinth, they entered a huge hall, the vaults of which were painted with ancient drawings. The researchers were struck by some of the images - in one of them you can clearly distinguish people chasing the beast. And above them, in a round-shaped aircraft, are depicted creatures in decoration very reminiscent of modern clothing!

A drawing was also discovered confirming the knowledge of ancient people about space. The wall clearly depicted the 10 planets of the solar system in a certain sequence, with Mars and Earth united in a ring. This suggests that in ancient times there was some kind of connection between these planets, but what exactly is unclear.

Scientists are of the opinion that the arrangement of the Chinese pyramids forms a complex pattern that astronomers can easily decipher. If you plot all the structures on a map of the starry sky, the outlines of the mysterious constellation of Chinese mythology, the Cygnus, are formed - the oldest symbol of eternal life.



Inexplicable events, fantastic legends and mystery shroud the pyramids in a dense haze, the creation and essence of which are still shrouded in secrecy today. Perhaps China carefully hides the “eighth wonder of the world” for its own reasons known only to it.

One thing is clear - these mysterious structures are an integral part of the Universe, and having unraveled them, humanity will enter a new stage of thinking and development, discover unique opportunities, and perhaps even the secret of immortality.

Pyramids in China

Pyramid complex near Xi'an, Shaanxi Province

The most popular is the “white pyramid”, photo of an American pilot in 1945

American military pilot James Gaussman saw the giant pyramid in the spring of 1945 while flying over the Kin-Lin-Xiang Mountains near the city of Qiyan in Central China. Realizing that no one would believe him. The pilot took a photograph of this incredible, by our standards, structure. The photo shows a mysterious pyramid 300 meters high and 500 meters wide at the base! This means that it is twice as large as the largest known giant of ancient building art - the Great Pyramid of Cheops, which rose to the sky only 148 meters! But this unique photograph of James Gaussman instantly disappeared into the halls of American military archives. Why? Probably due to “concern” for peace in people’s mentalities...

In the 1960s, the mysterious pyramids were spotted by New Zealand aviator Bruce Kathi, although Chinese leaders and Chinese archaeologists generally denied their existence. Bruce Katie found the diaries of two Australian traders who visited the province of Shaanxi at the beginning of the century. They recorded that they also saw giant pyramids. Having collected all possible information about these structures, Bruce Kati made a sketch of as many as 16 pyramids near the city of Qiyan.

In 1994, German archaeologist Hartwig Hausdorff published a book entitled The White Pyramid, which included a photograph by James Gaussmann and two later hidden camera photographs taken for the German archaeologist by a Chinese friend driving past the pyramids in his car. The same man obtained permission for Hausdorff to visit the previously forbidden area for Europeans in the province of Shenxi.

The slopes of some pyramids are dotted with small coniferous trees. For several years now, the Chinese have been planting these structures with fast-growing trees and shrubs, apparently to “disguise” them as natural hills. As Hausdorff and Crass studied them, they became more and more convinced of the validity of this opinion. Krasse asked one of China's leading archaeologists, Professor Qia Nai, why scientists do not open the pyramids to study their contents. “This is a matter for future generations,” he replied. It is possible that the Chinese do not dare to undertake such research for fear of discovering material evidence of events that could overturn our ideas about the ancient history of mankind!

Most of the pyramids are located near Xi'an, in Shaanxi province

The largest number of pyramids were discovered around Qiyangyan. This agricultural area can be considered deserted, although the pyramids rise in close proximity to a city of half a million people. Literally a mile away, Hartwig Hausdorff saw a surprisingly symmetrical structure more than 70 meters high. The archaeologist climbed to the top and was surprised to find a crater there that was clearly of artificial origin! From the top you can see 17 pyramids, standing alone, in pairs or in rows. 3-4 miles from the “city of pyramids” Hartwig Hausdorff saw a pyramid with a flat top, similar to the famous ancient pyramid of Teotihuacan, located north of the capital of Mexico, Mexico City. Even the height is almost the same.

The City of Pyramids makes a strange impression. In the shadow of these towering hulks, peasants work in the fields, plowing the land with primitive wooden plows, as their predecessors did for thousands of years. Peasants know almost nothing about the mysterious structures and are not even particularly interested in them. For farmers, the pyramids stood, stand and will stand forever.

Chinese archaeologist Wang Xilene is confident in the astronomical purpose of the pyramids and that they show us an example of the amazing knowledge of the ancients in geometry and mathematics in general. Recently, archaeologists discovered several pyramids near the Wei Ho River north of Qiyan. One of them stands exactly in the center of Ancient China. The deviation is only a few meters!

Who built the Chinese pyramids? Some researchers are confident that aliens were involved in their construction. Australian traders, who left their diaries, communicated with one old monk from a monastery near the Mongolian border. The monk referred to ancient manuscripts kept in the monastery and dating back to the 3rd millennium BC. And in them, an unknown chronicler already mentions pyramids in the province of Shenxi. This means that the existence of these gigantic structures dates back to the era of the legendary Chinese emperors, who considered themselves descendants of the “Sons of Heaven.” Written evidence has been preserved about one of them named Huangdi. Huangdi supposedly arrived from the constellation Leo and after a hundred years of reign departed back...

As you can see, the mythological background surrounding the Chinese pyramids is similar to the ancient Egyptian and South American ones surrounding the local megalithic (made of huge stones) structures. They are always associated with the involvement of the gods, who brought culture and knowledge to Earth and disappeared after fulfilling their mission.

But the gods, Hartwig Hausdorff concludes his story, “always promised to return...”

Access to this area for foreigners was denied for a long time, so until recently, Chinese pyramids were known only by rumors. However, in 1994, two researchers were able to visit there - a German and an Austrian. When examining the area, it turned out that the size estimates were greatly overestimated, but there are many pyramids here. One of the pyramids studied by Europeans is only 60 meters high, the other 80. The smaller one is densely planted with pine trees, apparently for camouflage. Climbing to the top of the larger pyramid, the researchers found what looked like a small crater there. Apparently, the structure has a number of internal rooms, and the ceiling of some of them, located at the very top, collapsed over time, forming a hole. From the top, scientists counted at least 17 other pyramidal structures in the area, scattered singly and in pairs on the plain.

As far as is known, Chinese archaeologists have not yet conducted excavations here. What's inside the Chinese pyramids? Who, when and why built them? The answer to these questions may make you see the history of ancient civilization in a completely new light.

Australian businessmen who saw the pyramids in the early twentieth century cite in their travel notes the words of an old Buddhist monk who lived in a monastery near the Mongolian border. The monk said that these pyramids are mentioned in the ancient handwritten chronicles of the monastery, which date back to the third millennium BC. This correlates the creation of the pyramids at least with the era of the legendary ancient emperors of the Celestial Empire, who claimed that they descended from the Sons of Heaven, who flew to earth on “fire-breathing metal dragons.”

December 8th, 2013

White pyramids, pointed and flat, were erected in China, the Middle Empire, long before the Egyptian tomb pyramids. Only a small part of the Chinese pyramids has been explored. Many were discovered only in the 20th century.

It was 1945. The end of World War II was approaching in distant Asia. A US Air Force reconnaissance aircraft inspected the Qinling Ridge area southwest of the city of Xi'an. Suddenly the pilot noticed something incomprehensible under the wing: in the middle of a high-mountain valley a huge pyramid rose.

Can't be! Are there really pyramids not only in Egypt and Latin America?

The photo of the “white pyramid” of 1947.

The report written by the pilot after landing is still perceived as a sensation: “I flew around the mountain and reached a flat valley. Directly below me lay a giant white
a pyramid shrouded in an almost unreal, bright glow. It seemed to me that it was made of metal or stone of a very special type. I flew over the silver-white colossus several times. The most remarkable thing about it is the top: a large piece of metal that resembles a precious stone.”

According to American experts, the pyramid soared into the sky to a height of 300 m, the length of the side of its base was 490 m. For comparison: the height of the Cheops pyramid initially reached “only” 146.94 m, and the length of the side of the base was 230.38 m. It turns out that that the most monumental pyramid in the world is located in China!

China has more pyramids than Egypt. There are several hundred of them between the major cities of Xi'an and Xianyang alone. Only gradually will the world learn about the countless archaeological treasures of the Celestial Empire. Even in China itself, few people know about the existence of the pyramids, since they are located in forbidden military zones or hard-to-reach places.

In 1991, many pyramids were discovered near the city of Xi'an during the search for a site for a new airfield. These tombs rise 40 meters high above the surrounding fields. Like many Central American pyramids, they end not with a sharp peak, but with a flat platform. The pyramids in the Xianyang area even reach a height of 50 m. They are often located in groups of 4-5 structures. Since no excavations have been carried out until now, one can only guess that large cavities lurk in their depths. This is indicated by, say, cut down terraces. Some pyramids were built during the Han Dynasty (206 BC-220 AD).

They became tombs for the founder of the dynasty, Emperor Liu Bang, and eleven subsequent Han rulers. The two pyramids were created during the Zhou Dynasty (1027-256/249 BC). Even older is the pyramid of Emperor Shao Hao, a descendant of the legendary Huang Di (“Yellow Emperor”), who ruled the Middle Empire around 2600 BC. e. Near the city of Qufu (Shandong Province), in the middle of a vast park, a pyramidal stone structure 18 m high and 28 m wide with a flat top sparkles. This symbolic tomb is crowned with a small temple-tower, inside which, like a pharaoh, sits Emperor Shao-Hao, who considered himself, like the Egyptian rulers, the son of the gods.

Archaeologist Professor Wang Shipin found that one of the pyramids discovered 30 km from the city of Xi'an, in a restricted military zone, is located at the geometric center of all parts of the world. It turns out that the unknown builders had deep knowledge about the spherical shape of the Earth and the distribution of land masses. Professor Wang also shares the view that the pyramids are oriented according to the stars. If so, then their location is consistent with the ancient teachings of feng shui, sacred geomancy. Perhaps the pyramids of Egypt, the stone monuments of Northern Europe and Greece were built according to the same principles. If these relationships are confirmed, great discoveries await us regarding the knowledge of ancient peoples.

Was there an exchange of ideas and values ​​between ancient cultures? Qufu, the name of the capital of the Shao-Hao Empire, is consonant with one of the variants of the name of Pharaoh Cheops - Khufu. It is also possible that already 2000 years ago the Great Silk Road, 6500 km long, connected the Han power with the Roman Empire, which bought silk in exchange for gold and glass. In any case, such contacts do not seem at all incredible. But definitive proof of this fact is a task for future research.

As we have already said, the Chinese pyramids first became widely known in the West back in 1947, when they were accidentally discovered by American pilots flying over the area. Several photographs were taken, newspapers published them, then a similar photograph appeared in 1957 in Life magazine...

And then scientists tried to forget about the giant structures, which should have been located somewhere in Egypt or Central America. But, naturally, not everyone has forgotten. There is a category of eccentrics whom you don’t feed with bread, but let them unearth some unknown secret of history. They are absolutely convinced that in our past everything was far from the way they write about it in textbooks.

And these beliefs are based not on someone’s idle speculation or one’s own imagination that knows no bounds, but on numerous artifacts of antiquity that stubbornly refuse to fit into the generally accepted concept of the historical development of mankind. The German researcher Hartwig Hausdorff belongs precisely to this category of people, who persistently searches for traces of ancient legendary civilizations such as Atlantis or Mu, publishes evidence of aliens visiting the Earth, and other similar “dubious” things. You can have any attitude towards the activities of people like Hausdorff, but it was he who, in 1994, managed to penetrate into a closed area of ​​Shaanxi province and make a photo report there about the pyramids, which to this day have not been studied at all by historians. It is clear that these structures are absolutely not characteristic of known periods in the history of Chinese culture, which extends over thousands of years. The age of the pyramids is unknown, and local residents, naturally, cannot say anything intelligible about this.

True, Hausdorff managed to find the diaries of two Australian traders who entered Shaanxi in 1912. They then happened to meet an old Buddhist monk, who said that these pyramids were mentioned in extremely ancient records kept in his monastery. The records are about 5 thousand years old, but even there the pyramids are called “very old, built under the ancient emperors, who said that they descended from the sons of heaven, who descended to earth on their fiery metal dragons”...

WITH the clones of some pyramids are planted with small coniferous trees. There is an opinion that for many years the Chinese have been disguising these structures as natural hills, planting them with fast-growing shrubs and trees. Oddly enough, Chinese archaeologists do not open these pyramids and do not conduct any research

For some reason, the Chinese government categorically prohibited researchers from other countries from touching these places. US writer George Hantom Williamson, through his connections with the US Air Force, obtained a photocopy of a topographic map of the city of Xi'an. The map was made based on photographs obtained from satellites. And not far from the city of Xi'an, the location of sixteen pyramids was indicated. New Zealand aviator Bruce Kagy in 1963 found the diaries and an article by Schroder written in 1912. Fred Mayer Schroder was a trader from Australia who led caravans from the Great Wall of China into the interior of the country. One day he was driving along the Mongolian-Chinese border with the Mongolian spiritual guru Bogdykhan, and he said: “We will pass the pyramids. There are seven of them, and they are located near the ancient capital of China, Xian Fu (on the modern map it is Xi’an).”

“After several days of tiring driving, we suddenly noticed something rising on the horizon. At first glance it looked like a mountain, but as we got closer we saw that it was a structure with four regularly beveled edges and a flat top.”

Schroder felt a sense of respectful wonder at the most magnificent creation of human hands that he had seen in his life. He was shocked by the thought that people who had the knowledge that allowed them to plan and build such a structure had now completely disappeared from the face of the earth.

“We approached them from the east,” writes Schroder, and saw that in the northern group there were three giants, and the remaining pyramids successively decreased in size until the smallest in the south. They extended for six or eight miles across the plain, overlooking the cultivated land and villages. They were under people's noses and remained completely unknown to the Western world. The large pyramid was about a thousand feet high (about three hundred meters, that is, almost twice as tall as the Cheops pyramid) and almost fifteen hundred feet at the base of 500 meters, that is, twice as large the Pyramid of Cheops). The four sides of the Chinese pyramid were strictly oriented along the compass points. Each face of the pyramid was a different color: black for the north, green and blue for the east, red for the south, and white for the west. The flat top of the pyramid was covered with yellow earth.

Once on the sides of the pyramid there were steps leading to the top, but now they were littered with fragments of stones that had fallen from above. Below were steps of rough-hewn wild stone (each stone about three feet square).

The pyramid itself, like most buildings in China, was made of adobe. Huge gutters the size of mountain canyons stretched along its walls. They were also covered with stones. Trees and bushes grew on the slopes, smoothing out the outlines of the pyramid and giving it a resemblance to a natural object. This majestic sight took my breath away.

We drove around the pyramids looking for the entrance, but found nothing.” When Schroder asked Bogdykhan about the age of the pyramids, he said that they were more than five thousand years old. When asked why he thinks so, Bogdykhan replied: “In our oldest books, written five thousand years ago, these pyramids are mentioned as ancient.”

Schroder was one of the very few Europeans lucky enough to see the pyramid complex in Shanxi, and one can only hope that the Chinese authorities will lift the veil of secrecy in the future and allow outsiders to visit.

“The main thing that interested me,” writes American researcher Vance Tied, was the geographic coordinates of the Chinese pyramids. Xi'an is located at 34 degrees north latitude. The layout of the Chinese pyramids is very similar to the Egyptian one. This suggests that the same ancient builders belonging to the same civilization had a hand in their construction. I vaguely realized that each of the pyramids performed a special function and that there was some kind of geometric correspondence between pairs of pyramids from different parts of the world.

If the Egyptian complex is located at 30 degrees north latitude, then the Chinese complex is at 34 degrees. I think that one day many different relationships will be calculated between the coordinates of the Giza and Chancy plains, Williamson indicated in a letter to Thied that the pyramid at Chancy, indicated as number four on the map, was in all likelihood the same structure that was photographed in 1947. “According to my preliminary calculations,” V. Thied further writes, “there could be a connection between it and the Great Pyramid of Cheops, because both are based on the number 16944. The computer pointed to pyramid No. 6 as the most interesting in the group.

Most are familiar with the pyramids in China, have read snippets of information about them, and have seen some photographs. But there are no details about their study, any archaeological excavations - there is nothing. China maintains an information curtain about them. Or maybe this is a peace agreement? There is no need for the average person to know too much. So that there are no unnecessary questions. I suggest that you familiarize yourself with photographic material and official information about the appearance of these pyramidal mounds.


Original taken from maximus101 in Pyramids of China

The name “pyramids” stuck to the burial mounds of Chinese emperors and their dignitaries. This is largely justified, since these burial mounds had the shape of a truncated pyramid, although there were other options for burials of the Chinese nobility. Chinese earthen mounds were built using a special technology that made it possible to maintain the shape of these structures for a long time. During the construction of the pyramids, the earth was not just poured in - it was carefully compacted, so the strength of the earthen building was close to concrete. This made it possible to maintain clear edges of structures even after millennia. Not only pyramids were built using this time-tested technology. In China, most buildings were built, essentially, from earth - palaces, pagodas, and houses of ordinary people. The Great Wall of China, for most of its length, was also made of rammed earth, only in later times it began to be built from stone and baked bricks.

I have already touched on the topic of the Chinese pyramids, in the story about the tomb of the First Chinese Emperor - Qin Shihuang. This is a continuation, here we will talk about the imperial mausoleums of the Han era (206 BC - 220 AD)
Elderly Chinese women look at the tombs of their great ancestors.

The burial mound of Emperor Qin is the starting point for the construction of pyramids in China. His pyramid was not only the very first, but also the largest. The pyramids of subsequent emperors, primarily the Han state, were close in size to the tomb of Qin Shihuang, but no one managed to surpass it.

First, we need to make a short excursion into the history of Chinese burials. Although Qin Shi Huang was the builder of the largest pyramid, it was not he who outlined the very idea of ​​\u200b\u200bbuilding giant earthen mounds over graves in China. It is worth noting that most scientists are inclined to think that the “mound theme” was not originally inherent to the Chinese. The burials of the ancient Chinese Shang-Yin dynasties did not have any impressive above-ground structures, and the Zhou dynasty that replaced them also did not try very hard in this direction. Most likely, the idea of ​​burial mounds came to China from the North, from numerous nomadic tribes.

Throughout the entire belt of the steppe zone, from Crimea to Altai, everything was in order with mounds; nomads - Scythians, Sakas, erected them in considerable quantities. Of particular note here are the huge mounds of the Tagar culture of the 5th-6th centuries BC in modern Khakassia. Outwardly, they are very similar to Chinese earthen pyramids.

Probably the first earthen building of this kind in China was a very impressive burial mound from the 4th century BC. Principality of Zhongshan, which is located just south of Beijing. Zhongshan for the Chinese was a barbarian kingdom, because its basis was made up of the so-called “White Di”, tribes with an currently unknown ethnicity, perhaps they were Indo-Europeans and were related to the Yuezhi and Tocharians. I once posted photos Chinese mummies from Tarim, among them there were many people of Indo-European origin.

One way or another, it was the Chinese who brought the idea of ​​mound-building to complete perfection, building countless burial pyramids for their nobility.

This story focuses mainly on the pyramids of the Han Dynasty, located near the ancient city of Xi'an.
Map of burials around Xi'an.

Han burials are marked with blue-gray “mounds.”

Burials of the Tang era, respectively, have red icons.

You can see that the Han pyramids run in an arc from West to East along the Weihe River. Each mausoleum had its own huge burial city - lin and, approximately the same in plan, as well as at the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang.

Many people lived in such a city; during Han times, emperors, sometimes by force, moved many aristocrats and their servants there. This was done in order to control the latter by the imperial power, plus they had to take care of the mausoleums of the former Han rulers. Warriors, artisans and wives, the deceased emperor, and the entire harem were moved there. In ancient times, they would all have been buried alive along with the deceased master, but starting from the Han Dynasty, human sacrifices became rare, of course, a couple of beloved concubines were still buried somewhere to go. But the entire imperial harem and servants continued to live, only next to their master’s pyramid. Sometimes the population of the funeral city could reach up to 50,000 people, like Emperor Wu Di’s in the Maoling Mausoleum.

And this “city of the dead” had fortress walls, and real ones at that. Each mausoleum is a separate fortress, judging by the map, the burial cities formed a real defense belt, the fortress walls of large and small mausoleums closed together, forming a protective arc covering the capital - the city of Chang'an from the North. It was from the northern steppes that the Huns invaded China. The dead emperors continued to defend their capital, both symbolically, influencing the imagination of the nomads with their gigantic pyramids, and actually, covering the entire surrounding capital region with the walls of mausoleums.

I didn’t have the opportunity to visit all the pyramids at once, since there are a great many of them and they are located at a very decent distance from each other.
Therefore, I chose two large burial complexes for a quick inspection - this is the complex of Emperor Jing-di - Yangling (there will be a separate post about it), and the pyramid field of Emperor Xuan-di - Duling.
I caught several large pyramids by chance; I was photographing them while passing by on a bus. First of all, it is worth noting the largest Han pyramid - the Maoling Mausoleum of Emperor Wu Di (141 BC to 87 BC), this mausoleum was worth a special visit, if only for its size.

Pyramid of Maolin.

The Maoling Pyramid has a base of 240 by 240 meters and an approximate height of 50 meters. This is the largest mound after the burial mound of Qin Shihuang. She can be seen from tens of kilometers away, but it is better, of course, to come closer, especially since her burial city has the largest number of accompanying burials, something like 175.

The pyramid of Emperor Jingdi, its base is 160 by 160 meters.

And the pyramid of the empress in the Jing-di complex is almost identical in size.

A very mysterious two-stage pyramid of Canlin.

It seemed to be intended for the young Emperor Pindi (ruled from 1 BC to 5 AD) Only 6 years old! At the age of 14, Pindi had already died, or they helped him to do so. The pyramid is huge - the base is 220 by 233 meters, the upper platform of the pyramid is 50 by 60 meters.
A monstrous mound literally hangs over the suburbs of Sanyang.

The beginning of our era is the reign of Wang Mang, the great “temporary worker” and reformer who founded his own Xin dynasty, which really ended with him. He was credited, and not without reason, with poisoning the young Emperor Pingdi. Perhaps Wang Mang decided to make amends by building a huge tomb for Pindi, or maybe he was preparing it for himself. Who knows…

The Duling complex of Emperor Xuandi, which I decided to visit specifically, is located outside the main “protective” line of Han burials, which runs to the north. It lies south of modern Xi'an, but not very far, almost immediately beyond the ring road, so getting to Dulin is easier than getting to all the other Han pyramids.
Now on the territory of the funeral city of Duling there is a park for Chinese workers, there is even an entrance fee - 5 yuan.

From a distance, the pyramid looks impressive, but when you get closer, it is difficult to find it in the dense plantings. The park here rises in ledges from north to south. The pyramid stands on top of the plateau. It is not clear how natural the surrounding terrain is; perhaps the base of the pyramid is also man-made. Chinese mounds overgrown with trees are sometimes difficult to find - it’s like in a fairy-tale story with sailors who landed on the back of a huge whale, thinking that it was an island. It’s the same here, you’re looking for a burial mound, not realizing that you’ve been wandering along its overgrown slopes for a long time, since such large-scale objects are hard to perceive up close.

The mound itself is devoid of vegetation and has the clear shape of a truncated pyramid.

The Xuandi pyramid has a base of 168 by 168 meters, which is much less than in Maoling and Kanling. By the way, I wonder why... After all, Xuandi was a very powerful emperor, under him the Han state reached its peak.

The pyramid of Xuandi's wife is much more interesting than the mound of the emperor himself, although it is somewhat smaller (base 150 by 140), but it looks more impressive thanks to the well-preserved steps. Empress Step Pyramid.

Way up.

The steps are clearly visible even after thousands of years...

During my stay there, a funny man constantly walked along the edge of the upper platform. Apparently, he was performing some kind of ritual known only to him. So he walked and walked, around the square, and it was a decent size, 48 by 43 meters. At the same time, he muttered something to himself on the tray - apparently, there are enough “moved” people on the pyramids in China itself. The rubbish on the top indicates that the Chinese like to picnic here.

This is not a feather grass steppe, but the top of a step pyramid.

And these are the ruins of one of the fortress towers of the funeral city of Dulin. Like all Han emperors, Ling (funeral city) Xuandi was surrounded by many kilometers of fortress walls and had a large population serving the mortuary temples of the former ruler and members of his family.

Pyramid of the Empress.

The Dulin complex includes another large pyramid. This is the burial place of Emperor Xuandi's beloved wife, Queen Xu. She was poisoned during childbirth, and most likely, not without the help of the last empress, whose pyramid rises next to the Xuandi mound. That is why the pyramid of Queen Xu is located at a decent distance from the main complex, about 6.5 kilometers to the southeast. Apparently, the current empress did not allow Xu to be buried in the main complex. There was no way for me to get to the Xu Pyramid; it was already getting dark, and I was somewhat tired by that time, or rather, I almost couldn’t walk.
Therefore, I will use photographs of Chinese photographers.子午谷

You will notice that the Xu Pyramid has a very interesting shape, it is almost a Babylonian ziggurat. It has three large main steps, which, in turn, carry more relatively small steps.

And the pyramid is large in size - the base is 136 by 120 meters and the height is more than 20 meters. Although the mound stands away from the main burial city, it is clear that the emperor spared no effort in building the mausoleum for his beloved wife...

To the west of the Dulin funerary complex there are several burials from the 14th century - the Ming Dynasty. They are smaller in size than the Han giants, this is understandable; the emperors during the Ming era lived in Beijing and Nanjing, They were buried there. In Xi'an, only relatives of the rulers and local nobility could be buried.

In all burials of the Ming era, there are many stone sculptures - these are the so-called “alleys of spirits” of Shendao. I photographed the figures of the nearest tomb in the approaching darkness.

One Minsk mound has a very interesting shape: it is round at the base, and at the same time stepped. It’s a pity that because of the darkness I never got to it.

This burial has an impressive “alley of spirits” and is worthy of a separate visit. All Chinese pyramids are located in rural areas, so while searching for burials, you can get acquainted with local settlements, such as this one.

Locals often visit the graves of their great ancestors, so you are unlikely to explore the pyramids alone.

Robbers are present in full force. The large imperial mounds are still being monitored, although I have not examined everything. And the small ones are almost all dug up, it’s just that in a small mound the diggers’ holes are more noticeable. There are these holes almost everywhere.
I saw a pyramid on a peasant’s plot, so he adapted it into a barn, dug a cave in it, such that you can enter without bending and stores various belongings there - rakes, bags of fertilizers. Naturally, it is almost impossible to control what else he digs there.

: Thank you for the tip to this article by Sergei Izofatov. He expressed the version that the soil for the construction of these pyramids was delivered by a super-civilization during excavation. On the one hand, the volume of soil that was used to build the canal, whose length is 2000 km, is too small compared to the volume of the pyramids. And the distances are enormous. But on the other hand, where did they even get this volume of soil for the pyramids? My guess is that this soil was removed from the surface. It is possible that this is clay from the cataclysm. It was removed from this territory because... Previously there were fertile fields here. They were restored and are still in use today. The volume is colossal! It is possible, even according to the version, that the Gods did this: they took metals from the soil and stored the processed soil in pyramids.

There are many cultural heritage sites in the world, the origin and purpose of which remains a mystery to this day. The most famous pyramids are from three countries - Egypt, Mexico and China. But there is a certain difference between them in the knowledge gained, because if access to the first two tombs is open to researchers, then some Chinese pyramids can only be accessed with a special permit, and they are protected by law.

Secrets of the Chinese pyramids

The Chinese pyramids are superior to the Egyptian and Mexican ones both in number and in height. Access to some of them is officially open, but getting to them is very problematic due to the presence of closed military and strategic zones on the way to the objects. However, such secrecy has alarmed more than one generation of scientists. It is likely that the inhabitants of the Celestial Empire themselves were able to get to the bottom of the truth and do not want to reveal their secret knowledge to the public.

Despite the colossal height of the Chinese pyramids, it is impossible to see them from space. Why are they so carefully hidden from the eyes of scientists from Europe? What secret does this ancient heritage of our ancestors keep?

The Chinese themselves have legends according to which the pyramids are evidence of contact between ancient people and extraterrestrial races. According to legends, these structures were built by people who descended from heaven on dragons made of iron and breathing fire. And the ancient emperors who ruled before our era claimed that they themselves were the descendants of these same guests from distant Space.


Great Pyramid of China

For some time, the pyramids were accessible to ordinary people without special permission. So, a certain nomad discovered several buildings near the city of Sichuan. The sides of the pyramids have a regular geometric shape, and the absence of peaks unites them with structures in Mexico.

Chinese pyramids: why are they hidden?

Why do the Chinese guard ancient buildings so carefully? They probably figured out the nature of the origin of the pyramids. Indeed, even some Chinese legends indicate a description of aliens who had blond hair and blue eyes. According to legend, the pyramids are evidence of contact with extraterrestrial intelligence in past eras.

Immediately after the war, American pilots, who inadvertently stumbled upon ancient buildings in the city, took several high-quality photographs of ancient structures from the air. According to the conclusions of Pentagon researchers, the height of the largest pyramid is more than 300 m, which is 2 times more than the Cheops pyramid known in Egypt.

An interesting fact is that most of these buildings are located in places that are most suitable for agricultural work. The government of the Celestial Empire hid for quite a long time the very fact that the most important historical artifacts were located on the territory of the country. Only at the beginning of the 21st century did China officially confirm the existence more than 410 pyramids in the country!

White Chinese pyramid

The mysteries hidden by the main, 300-meter White Pyramid stun the minds of scientists who were lucky enough to visit the site. Thus, it is a known historical fact that during the construction of the pyramid more than 800,000 workers. But about 600,000 died under rather strange circumstances. The dead end in the study is the fact that the bones of different people are scattered over considerable distances, which is more reminiscent of an explosion that could cause a disaster.

What is the true purpose of the Chinese pyramids? Scientists make a variety of assumptions. The theory about planetary messages, the transmitter of which was the Earth, sounds fantastic. With the help of similar conical structures located on Mars, as well as in Egypt, sound and light signals can be amplified. The mystery of these ancient structures has yet to be solved.
