Three strange disasters that have occurred in human history still cannot be explained scientifically. This is the Indian Dead Hill incident, the apocalypse explosion, and the Tunguska explosion, which are listed as the world's three natural mysteries.
These three strange events have one amazing thing in common, they all produced powerful "nuclear explosions" at the time of the incident.
There have been many strange things in human history, curious people want to know the reason behind these things, although scientists, biologists, historians intervene, but still can not be rationally explained, or there are many statements, and there is no conclusion, for these, we are used to calling - unsolved mystery.
But in fact, the cognition that human beings themselves are proud of is only a drop in the bucket as far as the whole of nature is concerned. There are still countless areas that mankind cannot explore with current science and technology.
Apocalypse Big Bang
In 1626, the sixth year of the apocalypse, a mysterious event occurred in Beijing, the capital of the Ming Dynasty, known as "unprecedented changes in ancient and modern times."
Records of this incident can be found in the "Zhi Zhongzhi", "Ming Shilu Xizong Real Record", and "Guozong".
What kind of thing did the ancients call it "unprecedented changes in ancient times"?
In the sixth year of the apocalypse, on the sixth day of the fifth month, the familiar chronology is 9 a.m. on May 30, 1626. At this time, the dynasty was the Ming Dynasty, and the streets of the capital Beijing were full of traffic and bustle, and suddenly an explosion occurred at the Wang Gong Factory in the southwest corner of Beijing.
The Wang Gong Factory was the "official" arsenal of the Ming Dynasty, also known as the Gunpowder Bureau, which was a place dedicated to making and storing gunpowder.
The explosion area of this incident was about 760 meters, covering an area of 2.23 square kilometers, directly causing more than 20,000 deaths and injuries.
As mentioned earlier, this place is an arsenal, where gunpowder is manufactured and stored. Then someone must say that this is not nonsense, it must be due to the explosion caused by improper manufacturing or storage of explosives in the Wang Gong factory. If things are really that simple, how can they be called the three natural mysteries of the world?
Rumor has it that before the explosion, there was a vision.
The guards of Di'anmen suddenly heard a sound similar to music, first rough, then fine, and looped three times. Such a supernatural thing made the guards who were warriors terrified.
Listen carefully, the music came from the direction of the Di'anmen Fire Temple. A bold guard wanted to go to the Fire Temple to find out, but pushed open the door but was frightened and weakened.
A red, spherical unknown object soared from the Fire Temple, and the Fire Temple shook violently, and the rubble and dust were shaken down. A bunch of people thought that they had angered the Vulcan and hurriedly knelt down and prayed. No matter how these people cried and prayed to the god of fire, it was in vain.
Suddenly, there was a loud noise from the southwest side of the city, and suddenly the sky seemed to be torn apart, and the clouds in the sky flew irregularly, and a huge black cloud similar to the shape of Lingzhi was raised.
Although it was morning, it instantly became dark and the sky collapsed. From Fuchengmen in the east to the punishment department in the north, a terrible phenomenon occurred, and wood, stones, human fragments and the corpses of poultry in this range were swept into the air, and then densely smashed to the ground like rain.
The explosion flattened countless houses in an instant, and more than 20,000 people were reduced to powder because of the explosion. A stone lion weighing 5,000 pounds on Shiluma Street flew out of the Shuncheng Gate,
In this explosion, there were many strange things.
Some disappeared instantly after the explosion (or they were blown into powder), many of the dead or injured disappeared in an instant, and the treetops on the hills to the west were covered with clothes, utensils, and jewelry. Others were in one place before the explosion, but appeared in another place after the explosion, as if they had been teleported.
About this strange big explosion, the corresponding records can be found in some historical materials.
The middle level of the "History of the Ming Palace" records that "on the sixth day of the fifth month of the sixth year of the apocalypse, there was a sudden tremor, and the fierceness exceeded the rapid thunder... All the dead have many limbs, both men and women, and the undead are shaken off their clothes. ”
The official "newspaper" of the Ming Dynasty, "Tianzhuan Di Copy", recorded that "the big wood flew to Miyun, and the five-thousand-pound stone lion of Shiluma Street flew out of the gate of Shuncheng" "In the area of Chang'an Avenue, people's heads fell from the air, or eyebrows or noses, or even a forehead, one after another."
After the explosion, the city of Beijing became a pot of porridge, and the streets and alleys were full of wailing. Even in the imperial court, it made people panic. Coupled with the historical background at that time, the Donglin Party, the Gelding Party, etc., some people believe that this is the courtiers and thieves, the eunuchs rampant, and the defeat of the imperial court that attracted heavenly punishment.
However, these are just idealism, and as the so-called cause and effect relationship, this explosion must have a reason for it. Today, scientists and historians are still studying the cause of this strange explosion.
According to the earthquake theory, from the historical records about the explosion, there are indeed records of violent shaking and the sky collapsing. But this argument is untenable, earthquakes will not cause black clouds in the shape of Ganoderma lucidum, and they will not cause people's clothes to disappear.
As with Mohenjo-Darrow , no craters have been found at the site and no record of the meteorite fall has been found.
The tornado theory, which can be a little related to the clothes running to the treetops on the hills to the west, is not able to explain the explosion.
The theory of gunpowder explosion seems very reasonable, after all, the Wang Gong factory at the center of the explosion is an arsenal, manufacturing and storing gunpowder. Although it was true that a huge amount of gunpowder was stored in the Wang Gong factory at that time, it was estimated that the power of the explosion was equivalent to 10,000 to 20,000 tons of TNT. With the purity of gunpowder at that time, it was difficult to achieve such power, and even if the gunpowder exploded, how could it explain the disappearance of the clothes on the person?
There is no scientific conclusion on the explosion.
Indian "Dead Hill" time
The India mentioned here is not today's India, but refers to ancient India, which was once called the birthplace of the five major civilizations along with ancient Egypt, ancient Greece, Mesopotamian civilization and China. Its geographical scope includes present-day India, Pakistan and other countries.
One day in 1922, Indian archaeologist Raj Ban and other archaeologists were exploring a stupa from the 2nd century AD.
Stones with special symbols were found under the stupa. As archaeologists, they immediately thought that the pattern on the stone block was by no means simple, and perhaps represented a certain meaning, but none of the archaeologists on the scene could understand the meaning of the pattern, so they brought the stone engraved with the pattern back to study it carefully.
They consulted a large amount of information and were surprised to find that the stone was not printed with a pattern, but on the text! There is almost no record of this script, that is, it was later lost.
They were so excited to find ancient writing under the stupa, so they decided to continue digging to see if they could get more.
Sure enough, with a little excavation, an ancient city was found under the stupa.
As the ancient city revealed its true face, the archaeologists at the scene were stunned. The scale of this ancient city is very large, covering an area of 8 square kilometers.
The whole city is planned very regularly and in a square shape, and a wide road is found in the city running through the north and south, and every few meters there is a street-like road that intersects perpendicular to the road that runs through the north and south, and the whole city looks very much like a chessboard.
Houses in the city are made of bricks and are very fine. In addition to single-room houses, there are 6 to 10 compartments in the house and there are also courtyards.
In addition, archaeologists have also found that this city built in the Bronze Period actually has a relatively complete water supply and drainage system, which is definitely far ahead of other civilizations of the same period. Spaces dedicated to bathing can be found in almost all houses in the city, and toilets have even been built in many houses.
A brick-built pool was found in the heart of the city. Such a construction process made archaeologists unable to understand how it was achieved with the technology of the time.
Archaeologists have found statues and human-shaped terracotta figurines inside the ruins, and the manufacturing process is exquisite.
When it comes to India, both in present-day India and in ancient India, we have to mention the Ganges, a river that originates in the southern foothills of the Himalayas and empties into the Bay of Bengal.
This 2,525-kilometer-long river has a wide and slow flow rate, making it an ideal source of water for agricultural irrigation. From the perspective of human civilization, many civilizations originated near rivers.
Under the impact of the Ganges, a vast impact plain was formed, and the people of ancient India settled near the Ganges and lived here for almost all generations.
With the continuous development of agriculture, the food produced has far exceeded the food needed for the survival of the people here, and part of the surplus food is stored in the national treasury, and the rest can be traded. The trade brought wealth to the people here and the country's economic strength was enhanced. The enhancement of the country's economic strength has brought about the development of industry and manufacturing.
According to Masno's theory of needs, survival needs are located at the bottom of the pyramid of human needs, where the industrious people have far satisfied the most basic needs of survival needs through the development of agriculture, so they have begun a higher level of demand pursuit, that is, spiritual needs, self-awareness needs.
From 3000 BC to 2000 BC, the civilization here showed a high degree of development, during this period the people here lived together in groups, and the place of residence had a clear functional division, that is to say, the people here had begun to develop urban culture during this period.
Under normal circumstances, highly developed and prosperous cities will be inherited with the continuous progress of civilization, but there are also some highly civilized cities in ancient times that have been destroyed for various reasons, such as severe natural disasters, wars, and plagues.
With the overall layout of this ruin, the houses and buildings found, handicrafts, etc., it can be inferred that the commerce, agriculture, and processing industries at that time were already extremely large-scale, and in addition, its cultural level was beyond other civilizations of the same era.
However, this city, which was already highly developed and civilized at the time, was so devastated that there is little record of them. As for why the city was destroyed, scientists are interested.
In the process of excavation, scientists also found something even more weird. From the remains of the scene, it was found that the city had been burned, and it was inferred from the remnants that the burning temperature was very high, and the situation at the scene looked very much like it had experienced some kind of violent explosion.
And in the city, there are the bones of people who lived in the city at that time, and these bones are still in the state they were in before death. It can be inferred that these people died instantaneously.
What caused all the people in the city to die in an instant, and the city to be in ruins?
Scientists call the site "Mohenjo-Darrow," which means "hill of death."
Scientists have several speculations about the city of Mohenjo-Darrow.
War theory, Bronze Age wars are relatively common, in order to fight for territory, resources, and wars break out, resulting in the destruction of cities, this situation is relatively common.
But this statement is obviously not true, the outbreak of war, the people living here will inevitably choose to flee, even if the city is broken after being besieged and slaughtered, but there is no way to explain the violent explosion, because at that time it was impossible to make such a powerful explosive. And the bones at the scene did not look like they were in the middle of a war.
Plague theory, during the Bronze Age, human beings were almost helpless against the plague, and the plague did take many lives during this period. It is also true that plagues have caused cities to be deserted in human history.
But this statement has nothing to do with the city of Mohenjo-Darrow, if infected with the plague, it requires the manager to process from infection, morbidity to death, and does not immediately lead to death, so it does not match the situation on the scene.
Since there are traces of burning and explosion at the scene, and the residents died instantly, could it be because Mohenjo-Darrow City was hit by a falling meteorite? The answer is also no, if it is hit by a meteorite, the violent impact force will cause a huge crater to appear on the ground, but no such crater has been found now.
Later, scientists came up with an explanation. It may be caused by the earth's electromagnetic field and cosmic rays, and under the action of these two factors, a phenomenon similar to "nuclear explosion" has been formed, resulting in the death of people on the streets in an instant, and the city has also suffered a devastating blow.
A long narrative epic in ancient India, called "Mahabharata", very vaguely mentions a scene, "sky thunder", "smokeless fire", "earth-shattering explosion", and even a very tragic scene, the river water is like boiling soup in an instant, and the fish in the river are cooked in an instant.
Mahabharata
This is very similar to the phenomenon after the "nuclear explosion", and it is also consistent with the explanation of scientists.
But so far, this explanation has not been authoritatively confirmed, and the matter about the city of Mohenjo-Darrow remains an unsolved mystery.
Tunguska explosion
This occurred at 7 a.m. on June 30, 1908, near the Tunguska River in Siberia, Russia.
At about 7 o'clock in the morning, suddenly a gust of wind hit, a strange sound sounded in the air, and a huge ball-shaped unknown object streaked across the sky at high speed. A few minutes later, a blinding glare emanated from the horizon, like the rays of the nascent sun, but much brighter than the sun at sunrise.
Immediately followed by a loud noise that shook the earth, a huge mushroom cloud soared into the sky, the light released by the mushroom cloud became more and more dazzling, and the huge shock wave generated by the explosion quickly swept through the land. The forest was razed in an instant, and the animals were roasted to char.
People 70 kilometers away were burned by the oncoming heat wave. The explosion was felt by almost all seismic monitoring sites in Eurasia, and even the residents of the United States felt a noticeable tremor. London, England, was affected by the explosion and almost all of the territory was cut off from electricity.
In addition to the amazing explosive power, there are some bizarre things happening.
For several days after the explosion, there was no night in Siberia, and the sky was daylight. The night sky in parts of Asia and Europe turns dark red, and the scene is very strange.
Because Russia was in turmoil under the tsar's rule at the time, there was no immediate investigation into the incident. It was years before scientists came to the place to investigate.
The explosion destroyed 2,000 square kilometers of trees and piled up more than 80 million trees. A circular crater with a diameter of 50 meters was left at the site. Metals such as cobalt, nickel, copper, iridium and germanium were found in the soil at the site. The trees that survived the explosion doubled their growth rate.
According to estimates, the power of this explosion is equivalent to 20 million tons of TNT explosives, which is thousands of times more powerful than the atomic bomb detonated over Hiroshima during World War II.
Scientists have come up with several conjectures about the explosion.
The meteorite impact theory is similar to the largest crater left at the scene, and the explosion and impact force that have been generated, but some scientists have visited the center of the explosion many times and have not found meteorite fragments.
Alien saying. With the passage of time and the continuous development of human science and technology, on August 6, 1945, the US military dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Japan, and detonated it in the airspace. The power of the explosion was astounding, and the circumstances at the time of the explosion and after the explosion reminded scientists of the Tunguska explosion.
But the Tunguska explosion was in 1908, when there was no atomic bomb, so some scientists speculate that an alien spacecraft passed through here and eventually crashed to cause the big explosion.
This conjecture is even more difficult to verify, at least so far, and there is no strong evidence that there are other civilizations beyond Earth.
To this day, scientists still cannot explain the Indian Dead Hill incident, the apocalypse explosion, and the Tunguska explosion, and perhaps with the rapid development of human science and technology in the future, the mystery will eventually be revealed.
