James Gaussman’s report remains one of many accounts of hidden pyramids around the world. There are many places where there are anomalous structures that seem like they should not exist; massive underground chambers with strange properties and anomalous phenomena. Why these pyramid structures are kept secret and what exactly is hidden inside these pyramids?

In 1945, American pilot James Gaussman, flying over the territory of Central China, saw a giant pyramid of white shiny material. The pilot even took a photo of this unique object, however, later it disappeared somewhere. And there were no official comments about such a curious object.

In 1960, New Zealand aviator Bruce Cathy also drew attention to the huge pyramids. He also revealed the contents of the notes of his compatriot Fred Schroeder, written back in 1912. He was a merchant, worked in China, moving around the country a lot. In Mongolia, a guru told him about the pyramids of China, and Schroeder decided to see them personally (he was interested in all kinds of esotericism).

This is how he describes his journey: “We approached them from the East and saw that there were three giants in the northern group, and the rest of the pyramids successively decreased in size to the smallest in the south. They extended six or eight miles across the plain, towering over cultivated land and villages. They were under the noses of people and remained completely unknown to the Western world.”

It was near the ancient capital Xian in Central China. The height of the largest pyramid reached 300 meters, it was twice the size of the Cheops pyramid, which is considered the largest in the world.

At the beginning of the 20th century, different explorers and merchants such as the Germans Frederick Schroeder and Oscar Maman testified to the presence of not one, but numerous pyramids around the city of Xi'an.

Another remarkable fact distinguished the pyramid – its corners were strictly oriented to the cardinal points, and each of them had its own color: black, blue, red and white. Which, by the way, echoes the Mayan teaching about the different colors of the cardinal points. Bruce Kati found 16 pyramids near Xi’an.

Only in 1966 were archaeologists allowed to the pyramids. But they did not announce any results, since during this period there was a change of power. During which ancient scrolls were destroyed, which could give information about who built these pyramids.

In 1974, the famous terracotta army and the mausoleum of Emperor Qin Shi Huang were opened in one of the pyramids. Based on this, they concluded that the pyramids are the mausoleums of the rulers of different dynasties.

The pyramid of Qin Shi Huang is the only one available for visiting, but no excavations can be made on it either. Nearby they find various figurines, items made of precious metals, but what is there in the hill itself is not clear. Moreover, the rest of the pyramids are, and there are already about 30 of them.

By the way, there is no direct evidence that the pyramid of Qin Shi Huang was indeed the tomb of this ruler. In 2007, Chinese archaeologists reported the results of a scan of the ruler’s mausoleum. It turned out that a nine-step pyramid was hidden inside under a layer of soil, the material of which was not specified.

You can see the rest of the pyramids only on satellite maps. Researchers note that there are a lot of them in the vicinity of Xi’an, even in the city itself. It is noted that there are entire valleys of the pyramids. Many of the buildings are very ancient. But by whom and when were they built?

On this account, only legends remained, telling that the pyramids were built by the first descendants of the sons of heaven, who flew on metal dragons. Perhaps, as well as about the builders of all the other pyramids on the planet.

There are many, many questions about the ancient civilizations of the Old World. It’s not by chance that the greatest expositions of our time happen in China. The government of the People’s Republic of China, as well as many other countries, regularly organize and fund (secret) research projects in the field of ancient history.

In China, it is possible to find everything. The country is so large, so old, and every corner of it hides an untold story – the secrets of the history of China. All the information is there, if only someone can read it.
