Nationalgeographic.co.id—Discover pipe–pipe 150,000 years old at China has baffled scientists there. The find is considered to be a kind of oopart.

OOPArt, short for out of place artifact, is a term applied to dozens of prehistoric objects found in various parts of the world that seem to indicate a level of technological advancement incompatible with the times of its creation. OOPArt often frustrates conventional scientists, but pleases adventurous researchers who are open to alternative theories, and spark debate.

In the mysterious pyramids of Qinghai Province, China, near Mount Baigong, there are three caves containing pipe–pipe which leads to a nearby saltwater lake. There are also pipe–pipe under the lake bottom and on the shore.

Size pipe–pipe this iron varies. But what is strange is pipe–pipe it may be around 150,000 years old.

The results of dating tests conducted by the Beijing Institute of Geology revealed that pipe–pipe This iron was smelted about 150,000 years ago, if it was made by humans, as reported Ancient Origins.

If it is pipe–pipe this was made by humans, history seems to have to re-evaluate the record related to the ability and development of human technology at that time.

Dating against pipe–pipe it is done using thermoluminescence, a technique that determines how long the mineral crystals are exposed to sunlight or heated. Humans are thought to have inhabited the area for the last 30,000 years. Even in the known history of the area, the only humans to inhabit the area were nomads whose lifestyle would not leave such buildings.

Government news agency Xinhua in China has announced the news of the discovery of the pyramid and the pipes. Research on the discovery was carried out by a team of Chinese scientists since 2002.

Although some scientists have tried to explain the age of the pipes detected from the pipes as a result of natural phenomena, Yang Ji, a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said that the pyramids may have been built by intelligent creatures.

Ji does not dismiss the theory that ancient extraterrestrials may be responsible, saying it is “understandable and worthy of investigation … but scientific means must be used to prove whether or not it is true.”

Another theory is that it was built by prehistoric humans. But then the technique used to build the pyramid was lost to the next generation of humans at a later date.

The pipes found lead to a salt lake, not a freshwater lake that is also nearby. The surrounding landscape was filled with what was Xinhua describe them as “oddly shaped stones”. The rocks protruded from the ground like broken pillars.

The head of the publicity department at the local Delingha government told Xinhua that the pipes were analyzed at a local smelter and 8 percent of the material could not be identified. The rest consists of iron oxide, silicon dioxide and calcium oxide.

Silicon dioxide and calcium oxide are the product of a long interaction between the iron and the surrounding sandstone, which could indicate the ancient age of the pipes. Liu Shaolin, the engineer who carried out the analysis of the pipes, told Xinhua that “these results make the site even more mysterious.”

“Nature is very harsh in here,” he said. “There is no population let alone modern industry in the area, only a few migrant herders in the north of the mountain.”

To further add to the mystery, Zheng Jiandong, a geological researcher with the China Earthquake Administration told a state-run newspaper People’s Daily it was 2007 that some of the pipes were found to be very radioactive.

“There really is something mysterious about pipe–pipe this, “he said. He quoted the radioactivity character of pipe–pipe is an example of one of the oddities.

Other scientists say iron sediments may have been swept into the crevices pipe being carried away by the water during the flood. Apart from that, some people also said that the site was just a natural formation that formed a pyramid, not a pyramid structure formed by humans or other creatures.

Another theory that has emerged is that pipe–pipe it is a fossil tree root. Xinmin Weekly reported in 2003 that scientists discovered plant matter in an analysis pipe–pipe these, and they also find on pipe–pipe it’s something that looks like tree rings.

The report relates these findings to the geological theory that at certain temperatures and under certain chemical conditions, tree roots can undergo diagenesis (the transformation of soil into rock) and other processes that can produce iron formation. A scientific paper published in the Journal of Sediment Research in 1993 also described the existence of petrified tree roots in South Louisiana in the United States.

Whatever goes on behind objects is referred to as pipe–pipe Baigong, it seems that scientists still have to investigate it further to unravel the mystery.
