The Chinese White Pyramid has been found

The Chinese White Pyramid has been found

www.histories-mysteries.com

The story of the White Pyramid came about in the 1940s, when eyewitness reports, specifically from pilot James Gaussman, related the presence of an enormous “White Pyramid” near the Chinese city of Xi’an. If true, it was bigger than the Great Pyramid of Giza. The region was off-limits to Western tourists for many decades afterwards and once this restriction was lifted, many pyramids were found, but the gigantic “White Pyramid” was not amongst them. A photograph of what was believed to be the White Pyramid, turned out to be one of a much smaller pyramid near Xi’an.
So what was the White Pyramid? Had someone overestimated the dimensions of a smaller pyramid? The answer is a simple no. The photograph had nothing to do with the original account of the White Pyramid, and this is where the main problem has lain in recent years. The actual White Pyramid is Liangshan Mountain and it is as big as Gaussman and others had claimed it was.

I posted another thread on this some time back and it is still quite interesting.

The article goes on to say that:

Liangshan is listed as a natural mountain that consists of three peaks. The two southern peaks are approximately the same size, but the northern peak is much taller and bigger. The two southern peaks consist of soil (so-called “central Chinese clay soil”, which is 30% clay, 35% clay elements and almost 40% limestone), but it is the northern peak that is the highest and consists of huge, almost straight stone plates which lie on the clay.
A key account about the “White Pyramid” – though it had not yet received its name at the time – in the vicinity of Xi’an was given by Alfred Schroeder in 1912: “The pyramid is about 1,000 feet high (other descriptions estimate 1,000 to 1,200 feet high) and roughly 1,500 feet at the base, which makes it twice as large as any pyramid in Egypt. The four faces of the structure are oriented with the compass points.” This observation conforms to what we have seen on the ground about Liangshan Mountain: it is a colossal pyramid, with four visible sides, holding the tomb of emperor Gaozong. It is difficult to determine the height of the pyramid. If measured from the platform with the twenty guards, the height is 160 meters; if measured from the base of the pyramid, the height is about 300 meters, or ca. 1,000 feet!
Schroeder also wrote: “Each side of the pyramid was of a different color: the northern side was black, the eastern blue, the southern red and the western side had a tint of white. The flat top of the pyramid was covered with yellow soil (clay).” Why did Schroeder describe each side of the pyramid as having a different color? The answer is the condition of the surface of the pyramid. The northern side of the pyramid is the most damaged by human activity. There are many modern man-made terraces and peasant gardens; therefore this side looks like a long slope of a natural hill. Since this side does not face the sun, the terraces have dark-grey color, conform to what Schroeder referred to as black.
The eastern side is planted by coniferous trees having a tint of blue and green colors. The southern side was also damaged by local inhabitants and revealed the yellowish color of the clay, or for Schroeder, red. The western side of the pyramid is white because it is covered by massive stone blocks, in grey and white colors. It is this side, together with the light yellow of the top, which created the story of “the White Pyramid”.

In fact, a long time ago, the entire pyramid was covered by massive white stone plates, even though the core structure of the pyramid is from pressed clay, conform to the other pyramids of Shaanxi province. But these massive plates slipped to the foot of the pyramid, the result of natural forces such as earthquakes and rain. Only on the western side did the plates remain relatively intact.

AND:

If we compare the descriptions of the White Pyramid by Schroeder and Gaussman with Liangshan Mountain, it is quite obvious that they are the same structure. There are seven facts that back up this identification:

1. the structures have the same height of 300 meters;
2. the length of each side was given as 500 meters;
3. the description of the color of the sides of the pyramid matches;
4. the name “White Pyramid” has its origin in the color of the stone plates that covered the pyramid;
5. the pyramids are made of pressed clay and covered by stone plates;
6. the sides of the pyramid have depressions which look like natural troughs;
7. there are steps or terraces to the pyramid.

The article has 10 photos to back up the story... which in summery... as I understand it anyway is that either the pyramid was an enhanced natural mountain or over time it came to so resemble one it became "lost".

I wonder if the dimesnions of the White Pyramid are as accurate as the one in Giza . . .

and why do they hold on to the theory that they are tombs?

Perhaps because some pyramids were used as tombs.... and yes they were probably as accurate but the article states that the white pyramid is not aligned to the cardinal points which suggests that it was originally a mountain that was adapted.

Very interesting. But whats up with the linked website not opening and showing an error? Cover up attempt again? Hacked by chinese government hackers?

Here are some other links about the pyramid:

Why the link I originally provided won't open is beyond me.

Thx for the links grover.
I remember having seen these pics a while ago.
The way it looks, like a natural hill covered with vegetation, it reminds me of the bosnian Visiko pyramid.
Very intriguing.

GREAAAAAT!!!!


Now the link doesn't work at all...


RULE1. ALWAYS LOAD IMAGES UP TO ATS MEDIA... lest they disappear.

Well the first thing I thought of was that the Chinese government will probably tear them down like they did the Buddha statues.

I read something about these pyramids in Nexus a few years back, the suggestion was that trees, vegetation had been planted on the structures in an attempt to cover them, but even if that is not true we must remember many of the cities in South America are still undiscovered under the thick forests grown over the centuries. It brings to mind the research of Rex Gilroy and his theories of a pyramid in Gympie, Queensland and at Rainbow beach, the former stripped of its casing stones to help build the town and the latter bulldozed into the sea by the Australian army around the 1920s. I've spent many days exploring Gympie and diving off Rainbow beach but was unable to find anything of interest. Still check out Rex's site and if your interested his books are pretty good too.

It was the Taliban in Afghanistan that blew up those statues of the Buddha... not the Chinese... unless you are talking about something totally different.

Great thread! I'm deeply interested in pyramids. Although the "white pyramid" will seem to remain a legend. The images are beautiful, wish I was there.......

But did you notice this:

nterest in Chinese pyramids was greatly increased by the 1994 publication of Hartwig Hausdorf's Die Weisse Pyramide later translated into English under the revised title The Chinese Roswell (1998) in which he briefly describes his travels through China in search of the legendary great white pyramid of China.

Chinese Roswell?..Why is the that the title?

According to Nassim Haramein , pyramids were never used as tombs.

You would find special sites for that. Although documentaries would jump from one to another with no explanation at all.

From the looks of the pictures, it looks like they named the mountain "White Pyramid" and got everyone all confussled.
