The universe is vast, and the wonders are wonderful. As the ancient capital of 3,000 years of civilization, Beijing also hides many mysterious mysteries that have not yet been solved.
At nine o'clock in the morning on May 30, 1626, the capital was shaken by a loud bang and a huge fireball. **The range extends from the northeast of the city to the southwest corner of the city, with a length of 1,500 to 2,000 meters and a width of 6,500 meters.
Countless stones, human bodies and animals rained down from the sky. Tens of thousands of houses were instantly reduced to powder, and more than 20,000 people were blown to pieces. Craftsmen who were working in the Forbidden City fell from their scaffolding, and 2,000 people were turned into "meat bags".
Because the palace is located on the edge of **, Ming Xizong Zhu Youxiao was spared, but the prince Zhu Cijiong, who was less than a year old, was stoned to death in the palace. This disaster completely changed the face of the capital and will always be remembered by people.
After investigation, the place of occurrence was Wang Gong Factory, which is the gunpowder manufacturing and storage center of the Ministry of Industry, with a daily output of two tons of gunpowder and a conventional reserve of about 1,000 tons.
Therefore, the power of ** is extremely huge, not only producing a huge noise in the capital, but also leading to a large number of people**. According to incomplete statistics, tens of thousands of people were blown to pieces, and thousands of anonymous victims were killed, including craftsmen and students of the academy.
The most puzzling thing is that the dead and wounded were all naked**, which was rare in the history of the time, and even famous scholars in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties could not explain it. For the cause of this accident, experts have various speculations, some believe that it was caused by gunpowder, some believe that it was caused by **, and some believe that it was caused by a meteorite fall or hurricanes.
While each of these claims has its basis, none of them fully explains all the weirdness of the disaster.
This event took place during the Apocalypse, so it is called the "Apocalypse Great**" The cause of this event, many historians and scientists are still confused to this day.
The Apocalypse is known as the "Three Natural Mysteries of the World" together with the "Dead Hill Incident" in ancient India more than 3,600 years ago and the "Tunguska Great**" that occurred in Siberia, Russia on June 30, 1908.
Amazingly, the series of strange things happening in Beijing is not limited to this one. In February 1978, in a darkroom at the China Academy of Space Technology, Kui Zhongyu, a researcher at the Academy of Surveying and Mapping, was developing negatives taken by China's re-entry remote sensing satellites.
Everyone is looking forward to Beijing**, which has been photographed by satellite. Due to his special interest in observing strange shapes and discolored objects, he did not wait for the substrate to dry, but observed it on the transparent table.
In the heart of Beijing, at the northern end of the central axis, a corner of Jingshan Park hides a wonderful sight. Surrounded by neat frames, and the sitting statue in it is like an ancient wise man, which surprised Kui Zhongyu and immediately called his colleagues to admire it.
He made this part of Jingshan Park into a picture, and after careful study, he found that Jingshan Mountain constituted the body of a wise man; The Shouhuang Hall complex constitutes his head; The inner palace walls constituted his eyes; The eyebrows are made of trees; The symmetrical triangular woods on both sides make up his beard, which is separated by the outer wall of the Shouhuang Palace.
He speculated that the formation of this "Jingshan seated statue" was related to human factors. However, experts still can't determine whether it was deliberately done by the ancients, why it was done, and what the identity of this wise man was.
As for a mystery in the ancient city wall of Beijing, in the maps of the city in the Ming and Qing dynasties, it is common to see the lack of the northwest corner of the city wall. Scholars have put forward a variety of theories about this, including the possibility of human removal, or the failure of multiple reconstructions of the northwest corner, but these are only speculations and no empirical evidence.
Beijing, a city with a thousand-year-old history, hides many unknown secrets waiting for us to explore and answer.
