The mystery of how ancient people hung coffins on cliffs: Experts offered a prize of 1.3 billion, the farmer solved the puzzle!

China has a vast territory and abundant resources, with mountains and rivers stretching far and wide. Different geographical environments also lead to different customs and practices in different places. Even in terms of burial, different regions have different methods. The most famous burial methods are natural burial and cremation. There are also burial methods such as sky burial, water burial and even hanging coffin burial in some regions.

Among the many strange arrangements, the hanging coffin burial in Jiangxi is the most mysterious and strange. One question that has been raised is how the coffin is placed on the cliff? Experts have offered a reward of 400,000 yuan (1.3 billion VND) for anyone who can solve this problem. Remarkably, a farmer has found the answer.

Compared to traditional burial, hanging coffins on cliffs (haunted burial) is a very special form of burial in which the coffin is hung on a vertical cliff. The terrain where the cliff is located is very steep, and even climbing it is very dangerous. And at that time, mountain climbing technology and safety measures were not yet developed. Hanging a coffin weighing hundreds of kilograms on a cliff was difficult to do with the level of development at that time. Moreover, the terrain in Jiangxi is very dangerous, with both deep ravines and fast-flowing rivers. Many people believe that the coffins on the cliffs were placed manually.

But the huge number of coffins on Longhu Mountain in Jiangxi has left people with no choice but to accept the fact that the coffins were placed with the help of supporting tools. So the question is, how did people place the coffins on the cliff at that time? Since the 1970s, many experts and scholars have begun to study this issue, but experts are also confused in giving an answer.

To find the exact answer, experts and scholars even pay a high price to invite people to give their views and opinions to solve the unsolved mysteries about burial.

The public reaction was huge, everyone was racking their brains but very few effective clues were given. The mystery of the hanging coffin burial remains unsolved.

Just when everyone was bewildered, an old farmer calmly resolved the matter. It turned out that a scholar who had studied the mystery of hanging coffins had come to the countryside near Longhu Mountain to conduct investigation and research. During a casual conversation, the words of a local old farmer had made this expert realize the truth. The old farmers had lived in this place for generations. When the old farmer was young, he accidentally heard from the previous generation that the coffin on the cliff had been transported to the cliff by a "heavenly chariot".

Ancient people used giant winches to lift coffins up cliffs. (Illustration photo).

Later, after the experts got the clue, they conducted in-depth research and concluded that the so-called "sky car" must be a giant winch made by the previous generations using pulleys . The predecessors used the related principles of wheels and axles to create a lifting machine. The experts were delighted to come to the correct conclusion. They put their ideas into practice and conducted experiments on the edge of the cliff. The on-site experiment successfully restored the hanging coffin burial method , and the results proved that the 'lowering the crane' method mentioned by the ancient farmers was absolutely correct.

The mystery of the hanging coffin burial that had long eluded people was solved in this way. Those who knew the truth once again sincerely praised the ingenuity of their predecessors.
