The remains of Shakyamuni Buddha in thousands of years in China?

A portion of the remains hidden inside a 1,000-year-old gold chest in China could help archaeologists "enlighten" many things about the Buddha.

At the end of June, Live Science published an article about a gold chest suspiciously containing the remains of Buddha. Accordingly, a group of archaeologists found this chest in a crypt beneath a Buddhist temple in Nanjing, China in 2010.

The golden chest contains the remains of Buddha found in China.

Inside the golden chest for thousands of years, there was a piece of skull and many other broken bones. According to the researchers, this may be the remains of Siddhartha Gautama Buddha (also known as Shakyamuni Buddha ), who built the foundation of Buddhism.

Live Science reported that an 8cm-tall chest was found in a silver 20cm casket. The coffin was locked inside a 117cm high and 45cm wide stupa, beautifully carved. This shows the importance of the remains stored inside the chest.

The chest is hidden in the coffin, the coffin is hidden in this stupa.

On the chest, the stupa is engraved with ornate images such as lotus, phoenix and guardian.

Inside the chest, there were sculptural inscriptions of a man claiming to be Deming. Accordingly, after the Buddha died, his body was cremated at the Hirannavati River, India. And the ruling king then divided his remains into 84,000 parts. 19 of them were shipped to China. And one of the 19 remains is in this golden chest.

The chests and coffins are all beautifully carved.

Researchers believe that what is in the golden chest is one of the many remains of the Buddha transferred to China.

Through many uncertainties, the temple where the chest was buried was destroyed. By the 11th century, China's Emperor Zhuge Tong rebuilt the temple and these chests were secured in its crypt, according to Deming.
