We all know that the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shihuang are the largest and oldest stone figures in the world. Many people think so. In fact, are the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shihuang the oldest in history? In fact, it is not. In a small mountain village in Hunan, a group of stone sculptures larger than the terracotta warriors and horses was found. As long as you see the situation here, I believe everyone's hearts will be shocked.
So what exactly is this Hunan village called? It is Tianguangdong Village. Although Tianguangdong Village seems very ordinary, it has a history of more than 700 years. According to local villagers, there is a mysterious forbidden area in this village. We never dared to enter. This place is what we want to focus on today. The introduced Guizailing, to be honest, when I heard the three words Guizailing, I felt a little scary. So why is this Guizailing so much jealous of the villagers?
According to nearby villagers, some villagers had seen the strange phenomenon of Guizailing before. It was a few days after a heavy rain, a villager inadvertently saw many strangely shaped stone statues in Guizailing. These stone statues vary in height. There are big ones and some small ones, and they look very scary from a distance. It feels like someone is staring at you.
Then naturally this matter was later learned by the archaeological experts of the local Cultural Heritage Bureau. The archaeological experts were very interested in the words of the local villagers. Maybe this is another world-class discovery! So soon the leaders of the Cultural Relics Bureau assembled a group of professional archaeological experts to go to Guizailing in Tianguangdong Village to conduct surveys. After the experts came to the scene, the experts found that although the stone statues here looked very vague, they were It can still be seen very clearly. Although it is temporarily impossible to understand the origin of these stone statues, judging from the appearance alone, these stone statues are at least several thousand years old.
From a distance, these stone statues are indeed very deceptive. Each stone statue has a different shape. In addition, experts discovered that there are still many unearthed stone statues underground. So what is the origin of these stone statues? The local cultural relics bureau really couldn't give an answer for a while, but the matter was later paid attention to by national-level cultural relics and archaeology experts.
In 2002, another group of archaeological experts came to the Guizailing site to conduct surveys. Finally, they concluded that this is a sacrificial site for humans in primitive times, and it is certain that the scale of the stone statues here is larger than that of the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shihuang. To be big is definitely a super discovery in Chinese human history!
Later, it was even rumored that the secret of Emperor Shun’s tomb could be found here, but so far there has been no comprehensive archaeological excavation of the Guizailing stone figurines, so this mystery has yet to be discovered in the future!
