This incredibly incredible item is much older than human beings, so someone clearly made it. The issue is the following: by whom? The Lanzhou Stone, found by Zhilin Wang in a remote mountainous region in northwest China in the late 1990s, is one of the most baffling out-of-place artifacts.
The enigmatic stone is pear-shaped, about 6 x 8 cm in dimension, incredibly hard and 466 grams in weight. Incredibly, the rock is of an entirely unknown form, indicating that it might possibly be a meteorite. It is, however, not only because of its unknown make-up that the object has drawn immense interest from many geologists and enthusiasts around the world, but also because of the star artifact inside it. As reported on June 26, 2002, in the ‘Lanzhou Morning News’: “More than 10 geologists and global physicists gathered from the Gansu Province National Land Resources Bureau, the Gansu Province Colored Metal Survey Bureau, the China Academy of Geology and Minerals Research Institute, the Lanzhou Branch, and the Lanzhou College School of Resources and Environment to study the roots of this enigmatic stone.
“The scientists unanimously labeled the stone as one of the most valuable in China and in the world for collection, research, and archaeological studies after a discussion about its possibility of being man-made and the possible reasons for its formation.” The exact location of the stone is unclear and the findings of the study have not been made public. But some interesting hypotheses need to be made. First of all the metal rod was specifically fabricated and needed a certain degree of technology to be made. The mysterious black material may have been anything, but it seems very likely to be created from the perspective of it. Where did this invention come from in this case? Is the stone one of the few artifacts left behind by an ancient culture, an artifact from a bygone age? Many advocates of alternate history are persuaded that this is not only plausible but inevitable as well. It’s an intriguing case that poses more concerns. There would have been more if there had been another technologically sophisticated civilization on Earth. What does our planet’s true past look like then? A few more realistic questions will be why are they no longer here and are they going to await us with the same fate? On the other hand, the storyline thickens significantly if the Lanzhou Stone is in fact a meteorite. If it was going across space, the trip would possibly have begun a while earlier. It could be billions of years old, theoretically. Was it sent here deliberately? Hey, if so, why? Can life hold it? Alas, maybe we’ll never know the answers to these questions. Some have come to conclude that vital evidence is heavily shielded and that the conspiracy reaches far and large to justify these claims. Discoveries are silenced, scientists are discredited and there is an adulteration of science. The truth is either out there or a lot closer to us.
