Mount Kunlun is regarded as a legendary sacred mountain, and its shadow appears in many myths and legends.
Tucked away in the depths of the Kunlun Mountains is an intimidating place, nicknamed Death Valley by locals, a wonderland of lush water and grass that is perfect for grazing.
However, for thousands of years, no one in the local herders dared to set foot in it.
Legend has it that this valley is guarded by a mysterious force, and anyone who tries to set foot in it will be cursed with misfortune.
In 1983, a herder at the Arar Ranch decided to defy the taboo of death in search of a lost herd of horses and entered the land known as Death Valley.
A few days later, the herd miraculously returned to the pasture, but the herdsman never returned.
In search of the herder's whereabouts, search and rescue crews were dispatched into Death Valley, and when they found him, the sight shocked everyone.
The herdsman's body lay on a nameless hillside, his clothes in tatters, his eyes wide open and full of fear, as if he had experienced endless terror before he died.
However, it was unbelievable that his body was intact and there was no trace of a fight or attack, which puzzled everyone.
In the 90s of the last century, the scientific expedition team of the Xinjiang Geological Bureau entered the Death Valley for exploration, and the preliminary results showed that the geomagnetic anomaly of the Death Valley was obvious.
The strong geomagnetic effect in the area can trigger thunderstorms and even electrical discharges, which can be explained if the herder was struck by lightning in it
