There is no shortage of enigmatic, ancient archaeological sites in the world. The Great Pyramid in Egypt, Baalbek in Lebanon, Teotihuacan, in Mexico… well the list is actually quite long.
However, most are frozen in a conflicted, gridlock status in terms of how and when they were built and by whom.
Conventional historians and archaeologists cling to the belief that ancient people using primitive tools and methods were able to build colossal, even precision-engineered edifices. Those in the alternative historical community do not share that belief, in fact, we openly point out the concepts many flaws.
Now, there are several sites in the world where this situation does not exist. I am going to present them in this chapter. It is refreshing to come across very enigmatic ancient artifacts that one and all agree remain anomalous, unsolved mysteries.
On the top of my list are the 1) Longyou Caves located in western China, southeast of Shanghai and 2) the Ishi-no-Hoden located in Japan on the main island of ? x miles from Kyoto.
I Longyou Caves
The story behind the recently discovered Longyou Caves is a fascinating one. The villages of Shiyan Beicun had fished in the many ponds nearby in the Phoenix Hills for generations. A body of local lore had accumulated over the course of the village’s history.
One legend claimed that some of the ponds were bottomless. Another told of how some were good for fishing but others did not contain any fish. In short, these small ponds held an aura of mystery about them for the locals.
Several decades ago, a local farmer suddenly grew very curious about the nature of these strange ponds. He decided to broach the idea of pumping the water out of one them to find out , to some friends. They agreed and in 1992 they began the operation.
But they were fairly quickly stunned to see artificial structures as the water level dropped.
No one in the village had ever mentioned there being anything like this at any of the ponds. Their surprise turned to shock when they drained the water completely out.
Before there disbelieving eyes stood a sophisticated-looking structure that some unknown culture had created. The villagers agreed that none of their folklore mentioned anything about this.

Also, that to their knowledge, nothing was noted about such man-made artifacts in any local or regional history books. However, they decided to pursue this issue with governmental and academic institutions and authorities to make sure.
That process took some time and ended up confirming their initial discussions. There were, and still are, no official records of any kind that described these caves at all. This is quite strange in China, a country with a very long history, that is normally well-accounted for, documented and recorded.
This point was, and still is, taken very seriously by the Chinese government and people. As a result, as the news spread about the Longyou discovery, interest increased steadily. Especially when it was covered in the mass media and people got to see photos of it.

The interior design and craftsmanship are dramatic and striking. Despite the fact that is simply a space carved out of solid sandstone rock, there is an elegant, almost cathedral-like beauty to it.
The initial Longyou Cave discovered, as described above , is a very large, artificial cavern with a very specific, planned design (23 more have been found since)...
