- BEIJING (Reuters) - A team
of Chinese scientists is to head out to the far west of the country to
investigate a mystery pyramid that local legend says is a launch tower
left by aliens from space, Xinhua news agency said on Wednesday.
-
- Nine scientists will probe origins of the 50-60 metre
(165-198 ft) tall structure -- dubbed "the ET relics" -- in the
western province of Qinghai this month, the agency said.
-
- It sits on Mount Baigong, has three caves with triangular
openings on its facade and is filled with red-hued pipes leading into the
mountain and a nearby salt water lake, Xinhua said.
-
- Rusty iron scraps, pipes amd unusually shaped stones
were scattered around the inhospitable and largely uninhabited area, it
said.
-
- A research fellow at a nearby observatory of the Chinese
Academy of Social Sciences said the theory the pyramid was created by extra
terrestrials was "understandable and worth looking into."
-
- Xinhua did not report any details on the age of the structure,
or any other possible explanations for it.
