Chapter 203: Dead Hill

Hua Feng discovered that there were two other incidents alongside the strange explosion in the sixth year of the Apocalypse, and Death Hill was one of them......

The "Dead Hill" is the site of "Mohenjo Daro" in Indian history. In Hindi, it means "valley of death". Here, the investigators found evidence of a number of violent explosions in the area.

All buildings within a 1 square kilometre radius of the epilogue of the explosion were reduced to powder. At a distance from the center, many skeletons were found.

From the posture of the skeleton, it can be seen that the catastrophe of death came suddenly, and people were unaware of it. These bones contain strange levels of radiation comparable to those of the victims of the nuclear attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Not only that, the researchers were also surprised to find that the rubble field after the burning of this ancient city looked very similar to Hiroshima and Nagasaki after the explosion, and there were still traces of shock waves and nuclear radiation on the ground. The reasons for this are still debated.

In 1922, Indian archaeologist Banalj discovered an ancient ruin on a small island in the Indus River. Judging from the ruins, it was originally a city, but it seems that it suddenly destroyed one day 3,500 years ago. People have been puzzled for years, so they have given the city a strange name: Mohenjo Daro, which means "Dead Hill".

How did the city come to earth? Scientists have gone through extensive field research and have proposed several possibilities such as floods, plagues, and foreign invasions. In addition, the British scientist Jevon Boer and the Italian scientist Vincenti also put forward an astonishing hypothesis: the city of Mohenjo Daro was attacked by a nuclear bomb!

They believe that although the city was built on a river island with an abundant water source, no signs of flooding were found. On the contrary, there are signs that there was a large-scale fire in the area.

The two scholars analyzed a number of detailed issues, especially the large quantities of molten clay and mineral fragments in the ruins. Experiments carried out at the University of Rome and in the laboratories of the Italian National Research Society have shown that they are melted at temperatures of up to 14,000°C- 15,000°C. Under the conditions of productivity at that time, such high temperatures could only be formed in the forging furnaces of the smelting workshop, and the large presence of molten clay and mineral fragments could never be formed in a small number of forging furnaces.

Traces of an explosion were also found in the city of Mohenjo Daro, where they found the epicenter of the explosion and razed buildings in the center to the ground. Outwards from this centre, the farther away you are, the less damaged it is, while in the most marginal areas the buildings are almost intact. This is very similar to the scene after the explosion.

In addition, in the ancient Indian Sanskrit narrative poem "Mahabharata", there is a description of war: "It was as if the power of nature burst forth at once. The sun is spinning. The flames of the weapon caused the earth to burn. The elephant was burned by the fire and ran to escape this terrible disaster. The river boiled, the beasts died, the enemies fell one by one, and the corpses were in disarray. Horses and chariots were burned, and the entire battlefield was in the aftermath of the conflagration.

There was a deathly silence on the sea, the wind rose, and the earth lit up. It is truly a gruesome picture, the bodies of the deceased were mutilated and deformed by the terrible fire. We have never seen or heard of such a weapon. "This horrific scene has led many to associate this weapon with a nuclear bomb. Some even believe that Mohenjo Daro was destroyed by aliens.

However, the theory that scientists most agree with at present is the lightning destruction theory. Many scientists believe that it was the mysterious black lightning that destroyed Mohenjo Daro. Black lightning evolved from a rare ball lightning. Under normal circumstances, they are small in size and extremely low in brightness, like a cloud of black fog, but they contain huge energy, and they are not afraid of general lightning protection facilities.

When they gather, they emit poisonous gases and are particularly prone to explosions. As long as there is a black lightning explosion, it can cause a chain of explosions, producing a high temperature of 15,000 degrees Celsius in an instant. The damage caused by the explosion was similar to that caused by the city of Mohenjo Daro, and the excavated artifacts in Mohenjo Daro showed that they had been subjected to temperatures of 14,000-16,000 degrees.

So, the truth may be this: the atmosphere forms black lightning, and at the same time produces a large number of toxic substances to poison the air.

The inhabitants of the ancient city were tormented by the poisonous air for a while, and then the black lightning exploded violently, producing high enough heat to melt the stones. When the blast wave reached the ground, it destroyed the city.

Mohen Chordaro means "dead hill". At the top is a stupa from the 2nd century AD. In 1922, archaeologists accidentally unearthed this massive ancient city while exploring the pagoda.

What is sensational is that the ancient city of 5,000 years ago is very similar to the modern urban structure. The wide main street is crossed by north-south and east-west, and the buildings on both sides are equidistant recessed for nighttime lighting. The affluent area has the world's first bidet toilets, separate kitchens and sewage systems.

All buildings are simple and functional, not only in line with the minimalist concept of modern architecture, but also with a focus on privacy. There are no doors and windows in the buildings facing the street, and the doors and windows can only be seen after entering the alley. The buildings are all brick construction with stucco caulking. If it is covered with tiles, it must be a modern town, not inferior to any other town in the South Asian subcontinent.

Almost all of the world's oldest cultural sites are graves and religious buildings, which are awe-inspiring. "Dead Hill" presents a state of life, making people feel that the city has always been "alive". The ancient city is divided into upper and lower castles, and the upper castle is a high castle with a cloister, which contains a conference hall and a royal palace.

There is a large bath on the southwest side, and the steps on both sides lead to the bottom. The baths are surrounded by water wells, changing rooms and sewage outlets, and are designed to incorporate the essential elements of today's five-star hotel swimming pools. When it comes to enjoying life, the ancients are in no way inferior to modern people. The business district of the lower town has the oldest shops in the world, and there is a department in charge of weighing nearby, which is the equivalent of the industrial and commercial supervision agency.

The museum on the north side of the site displays archaeological excavations. The excavated stones, weights, gold, silver, agate, etc., outline the social conditions of the time. The red patterns on the clay pottery, the patterns of cows, elephants and crocodiles on the seals, and various clay figurines, like a primitive documentary, convey the living conditions of the ancestors. Among all the relics, the bronze dancing girl and the stone man are the most representative. The dancers wear exaggerated necklaces and bracelets, with their heads crossed and their eyes in all directions. The stone man has a beard on his face, and his left shoulder is diagonally draped over an embroidered robe, and his expression is so calm that it is difficult to fathom. The two figures move and stillness, forming a strong contrast.

The museum has a picture of the city at that time. Although it is an exaggeration, it reflects the prosperity of the society at the time: the city was crowded with people, the clay kilns outside the city were smoking, and boats were shuttling on the Indus River. If you expand the imagination, there should also be a large area of farmland outside the city, where barley, cotton, and beans are grown.

Today, the land is heavily salinized, and shrubs called tamarix grow everywhere.

In Harappa in the upper reaches of the Indus River, there is an ancient city of the same age as the "Dead Hill", and the two ancient cities are collectively known as the Harappan civilization. The axis of civilization is the winding Indus River. Rivers bring fertile land and abundant water to thriving cities. Walking two kilometers east from the "Dead Hill", I saw this important river in the history of South Asian civilization. Xuanzang crossed this river when he returned to China. It is said that at that time, the wind and waves were strong, and he lost a lot of Buddhist scriptures and exotic flowers in the river, which became a regret along the way. The Indus River in front of you is as calm as a mirror, the river is muddy yellow, and a small boat is across the water, like a thousand-year-old sculpture.

The Mohen Giodarro civilization lasted for more than a thousand years, and suddenly declined around 1750 BC. During that time, the Indus River flooded, agricultural harvests plummeted, people scattered and the ancient city was gradually abandoned. It is also believed to be sabotage, as the book Kuliveda mentions that the Aryans clashed with the indigenous population near the Indus River when they entered South Asia from Europe, and that war and killing led to the demise of the ancient city.

Due to the existence of the "Dead Mound", Indians claim to have the oldest historical and cultural heritage in the world, which can only be matched by ancient Egypt. They set a ticket at 200 rupees (about 60 rupees per US$1) for foreigners and 10 rupees for nationals. Due to the low ticket price, locals use it as a park and come for picnics on weekends. Tourists come and go, leaving only the scorching sun, accompanied by the historical heritage of the heat wave.

Of these three unsolved mysteries, the Tunguska explosion is more like the power of a nuclear bomb, a kind of eccentricity that does not match the era.

The Tunguska explosion was a massive explosion that occurred on June 30, 1908 at 7:17 a.m. UTC in the Evenki Autonomous Region of Siberia, Russia.

The explosion occurred near the Tunguska River, 800 kilometers northwest of Lake Baikal, at 60.55 degrees north latitude and 101.57 degrees east longitude, and the explosion was estimated to be equivalent to 10~15 million tons of *****, and 60 million trees in more than 2,150 square kilometers burned and fell. A century has passed since the Tunguska explosions, and the local forest and ecological environment have been restored.

This event is known as the mystery of the world's three natural disasters, along with the Death Hill Incident in India more than 3,000 years ago and the explosion of Wang Gongchang in Beijing on May 30, 1626.

Meteorite impact says -

Leonid Kulik, a Soviet scientist and the first person to visit the Tunguska site, believes that the Tunguska explosion in 1908 was caused by a meteor falling to the ground.

Later, American scientists also used computers in the laboratory to simulate the effect of the big explosion caused by the meteorite hitting the ground at high speed, and the computer simulation explained well that the dust raised by the shock wave reached the outer layer of the atmosphere, and the reflected sunlight caused the scene of day and night in the surrounding area of Tunguska. But it is regrettable that for a long time, all field trips did not find any meteorite remains.
