The well was originally a forbidden area that no one dared to approach, until the archaeological team discovered the secret below

The well with the horrible rumor

Located in Jinhua, Zhejiang province, China, Zhijia Temple has a history of more than 1,500 years, built in 526 under Emperor Wu of Liang – the founding emperor of the Liang dynasty of the North and South dynasties.

In the thousand-year-old temple, there is an area called “forbidden land” because locals speculate that this place at night will emit all kinds of strange noises like lamentations full of resentment, also because of rumors. Because of the loss, no one wants to go near this place.

Until a few years ago, due to being too old, a number of architectural works in Tri Gia pagoda were severely damaged and in danger of collapsing, so the temple’s abbots had to plan to practice religious activities. complement these areas.

At this time, the “forbidden” area has the construction team that dares to approach. Because no one has come to clean for a long time, the air here is extremely humid, creating a very creepy feeling.

Surprisingly, during the repair process, the construction team discovered a dry well that was covered with spider webs and weeds. They felt that there was something particularly mysterious and not simple, so they called the local archaeological team to check.

The well is about 12 meters deep and 2 meters in diameter. Through preliminary assessment, experts confirmed that the well was built in the architectural style of high-ranking mandarin families. So the archaeological team decided to blockade this area and carry out archaeological work under the mysterious well.

Unexpected discovery

It took them 12 days to excavate to the bottom of the well, and were amazed to find hundreds of cultural relics.

Unsurprisingly, archaeologists also discovered 4 layers of cultural relics buried on top of each other, they also originated from 4 different eras in history, they ranged from the Song Dynasty to the Song Dynasty. Thanh’s house. The distance between the layers of treasures is a rather thick and tight layer of rock.

This makes archaeologists have a headache because why are there cultural relics from 4 dynasties buried in the same well?

People around here always say that after Thai Binh Thien Quoc lost the battle, he brought a large amount of treasure to hide in Jinhua Zhejiang, maybe this is the rumored treasure for a long time.

There is also another theory that people of all 4 dynasties like to hide their treasures in this well? Or maybe there’s a treasure collector who hid these treasures in the well?

So far, no one has found out the reason for the appearance of these treasures in the well rumored to be “haunted” for thousands of years.

But for experts, this excavation is really very expensive, because they have collected more information about the culture of all 4 dynasties. Especially in this lot of cultural relics, there is also a thing called national treasure – a small antique kettle made from celadon of the famous Long Tuyen pottery kiln of the Song Dynasty.

The archeology team was also happy to come out and joke: “Fortunately, there are rumors of “haunted” here!”. It is true that although we don’t know where those ghastly sounds came from, but thanks to that rumor, these treasures were kept intact, otherwise they would have been stolen long ago by thieves.
