The Mysterious Longyou Caves of China - Built Before Written History Began
The Longyou Caves are a series of large artificial sandstone caverns located at Phoenix Hill, near the village of Shiyan Beicun on the Qu River in Longyou County, Quzhou prefecture, Zhejiang province, China.
There is no wriiten record of anyone building these caves, so it is believe to have been built before man created modern writing.
Academics claim the entire cave was dug by hand, but there are uniform cut marks along the cave walls that maintains a 60 degree angle of cut, which would indicate a machine was used.

Mystery of the Longyou Caves in Zhejing Province, China
Near a small village called Shiyanbei in the Yazhou region, which sits in the middle of Zhejing Province, China, is a cave system like no other. Its extensive, magnificent, and rare ancient underground world is considered in China as “the ninth wonder of the ancient world.”
The strangest thing about this discovery is not so much their immense size, but the fact that there are no records existing of their creation.
First discovered in 1992 by a local villager, 36 grottoes have now been discovered covering a massive 30,000 square metres. Carved into solid siltstone, each grotto descends around 30 metres underground and contains stone rooms, bridges, gutters and pools. There are pillars evenly distributed throughout the caves which are supporting the ceiling, and the walls, ceiling and stone columns are uniformly decorated with chisel marks in a series of parallel lines. Only one of the caves has been opened for tourism, chosen because of the stone carvings found inside which depict a horse, fish and bird. The Longyou caves truly are an enigma.
Who built them? Short answer — nobody knows, although only the emperor and his leaders could have organized such a huge project, that’s if it was made at that time. Even if this was true, a project of this scale being commissioned by an emperor would leave historical records of its construction.
Every single one of the caves is covered, from floor to ceiling, in parallel lines that have been chiselled into virtually every surface. The effect is a uniform pattern throughout the caves, which would have required immense manpower and endless hours to create. The question is why? Was such labour-intensive work purely for decoration? Are the lines or patterns symbolic in some way? All that is currently known is that the markings are similar to those found on pottery housed in a nearby museum, which is dated between 500 and 800 BC.
One of the most interesting and challenging questions is how the caves have been able to keep their structural integrity for more than 2000 years. There are no signs of collapse, no piles of rubble, and no damage despite the fact that in some areas the walls are only 50 centimetres thick. Over the centuries, the area has gone through numerous floods, calamities and wars, the mountains have changed their appearance and exposed stones have been weathered, but inside the caves, the form, patterns and markings are still clear and precise – it is as though they were built yesterday.

Impossible Longyou Caves in China
The Longyou Caves are a series of large artificial sandstone caverns located at Phoenix Hill, near the village of Shiyan Beicun on the Qu River in Longyou County, Quzhou prefecture, Zhejiang province, China. They are thought to date to a period before the creation of the Qin Dynasty in 212 BCE, although no trace of their construction or even their existence has been located in the historic record.
The caves are notable in several respects:
The caves are very large considering their man-made origin: the average floor area of each cave is over a 1,000 square metres (11,000 sq ft), with heights of up to 30 metres (98 ft), and the total area covered is in excess of 30,000 square metres (320,000 sq ft).
The ceiling, wall and pillar surfaces are all finished in the same manner, as a series of parallel bands or courses about 60 cm wide containing parallel chiselling marks set at an angle of about 60° to the axis of the course.
They have maintained their structural integrity and appear not to interconnect with each other
The Mystery of The Longyou Caves
In 1992, a strangely curious man named Wu Anai, near the Chinese village of Shiyan Beicun in Longyou County, based on a hunch, began to pump water out of a pond in his village. Anai believed the pond was not natural, nor was it infinitely deep as the local lore went, and he decided to prove it. He convinced some of his villagers and together they bought a water pump and began to siphon water out of the pond. After 17 days of pumping, the water level fell enough to reveal the flooded entrance to an ancient, man-made cave, confirming Anai’s suspicion.
This cave, now called the Longyou Caves, represent one of the largest underground excavation made during ancient times. A total of 24 hand-dug caves were eventually discovered, each with an average floor area of a thousand square meters and ceilings that reaches heights of up to 30 meters. The total area covered by all the caves exceeds 30,000 square meters.

We always have to keep in mind that a Documentary, after all, can tell lies and it can tell lies because it lays claim to a form of veracity which fiction doesn't. Some of the documentaries are made just to discredit some particular person, party, organization, system etc, but most of them here on TDF are non biased, without prejudice and worth watching.

Stone Carving of World's Earliest Banknote Jiaozi Discovered in Southwest China
An ancient stone carving of the world’s earliest banknote has been recently discovered in southwest China’s Chongqing Municipality.
The banknotes, known as 'Jiaozi' banknote, dates back more than 700 years to the Song Dynasty (960-1279) .
The carving was found atop a stone inscription at a World Heritage site known as the Dazu Rock Carvings in the municipality’s Dazu District.
It is the first time that archaeologists have found a carving of paper currency at the site, typically only carvings of ancient coins are found.
The discovery of the stone carving of the Jiaozi banknotes, which originated during the Northern Song era (960-1127), indicates the long history of trade ties between the two regions of Sichuan Province: Chengdu , the provincial capital, in the west and Chongqing in the east, Deng added.
Introduced by authorities in the Northern Song Dynasty, the Jiaozi banknotes were used alongside copper coinage to facilitate large commercial transactions.
The Dazu Rock Carvings date back to the 9th and 13th centuries and consist of over 100,000 religious statues. The area was placed on the World Heritage List by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in 1999.

World's Biggest Mystery of 49 Giant Sinkholes Discovered in China
A group of 49 sinkholes have been discovered in the Qinling mountains in north-west China.
Experts believe this is the world's biggest sinkhole cluster.
The caverns, located between 32 and 33 degrees north latitude, are situated in the northernmost karst landform region ever found in the world, said Chinese experts.
Occupying an area of around 600 square kilometers (230 square miles), the group comprise one 'super large' sinkhole, 17 'large' sinkhole and 31 'conventional' sinkholes.
