Xian Altar of Heaven

 

The Xian Altar of Heaven is the oldest of its kind found in China to date. It was reburied shortly after its excavation.

The oldest-known altar used in Chinese state religious practice was unearthed, then reburied, this past summer in the city of Xian by the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. Uncontrolled development around a mysterious circular mound prompted a 30-day salvage excavation. Constructed as early as the Sui Dynasty (A.D. 581-618), the so-called Altar of Heaven is more than 1,000 years older than a similar altar in Beijing…Twelve equally spaced staircases, representing Chinese astronomers’ division of the heavens into 12 parts, ascended from the ground to the highest platform. The 12 staircases are the most obvious peculiarity of the Xian Altar of Heaven……

The mystery certainly more than 3,000 year old. Found buried 20 ft. deep, with the use of magnetic mapping. Who were they? They were more advanced than the Maya and the Aztecs. But where they come from, why they vanished one day and where they went – nobody knows..

Traditional archeology doesn’t have the answers–but if you believe that man has always been advanced you can see where they may have come from. The problem is uniformism again. Materialists want so much to show a steady and inevitable progression from cave man to advancing man but.. Bible believers understand that man began building cities right from the beginning. Man lived in caves as a result of catastrophies like the flood..that’s why for example you can find art in the caves of Lascaux technically and artistically on par with art of today –where scaffolding was built to reach the higher walls and why technologically inferior civilizations can be found on top of older civilizations with superior technology–like the Olmecs. โ€œReaders of my books, and especially of The Lost Realms, as well as of a previous article on this website titled

Dropa Stones

In 1938 high in the mountains of BayanKara-Ula, on the borders of China and Tibet a team of archaeologists were conducting a very detailed routine survey of a series of interlocking caves.

Their interests had been excited by the discovery of lines of neatly arranged graves which contained the skeletons of what must have been a race of human beings. They appeared to have spindly bodies and large overdeveloped heads.

At first it had been thought that the caves had been the home of a hitherto unknown species of ape. But as the species seemed to bury its dead they eliminated an ape race.

While studying the skeletons one of the members of the team stumbled on a large round stone disc half buried in the dust on the floor of the cave.

The disc looked like an Stone Age record. There was a hole in the center of and a fine spiral groove that is a continuous spiralling line of closely written characters.

No one understood the meanings of the message. The disc was labeled and filed away among other finds in the area. For 20 years many experts …
