Первое упоминание о пирамидах в Китае было в 1912 году, когда торговые агенты Фред Шредер и Оскар Меман сообщили об огромных сооружениях, что они наблюдали в Китае. «Находясь на краю света эти колоссальные строения совершенно неизвестны западным странам. Высота большой пирамиды по нашим самым скромным подсчетам около 300 метров, длина стороны основания более полукилометра, что тем самым делает эту пирамиду в два раза выше пирамиды Хеопса в Египте. Четыре ее стороны сориентированы по сторонам света, как показал нам компас», - записали агенты в своем дневнике.

 

 

The pyramids of China are approximately 100 ancient mounds, many of which were used for burial. Most of them are located within 100 kilometers of the city of Xi'an, on the Qin Chuan Plains in the Shaanxi Province, central China. The existence of pyramids in China has come in two stages. Most early stories were focused on the existence of "Great White Pyramid." A photograph of this pyramid in the Qinling mountains was taken by Americans in 1945, but remained in military files for 45 years. US Air Force pilot James Gaussman is said to have seen a white jewel-topped pyramid during a flight between India and China during World War II, but there is scant evidence for a source on this story. However, it is now believed that the Gaussman story was actually based on Colonel Maurice Sheahan, Far Eastern director of Trans World Airlines, who told an eyewitness account of his encounter with a pyramid in the March 28, 1947 edition of The New York Times. A photo of Sheahan's pyramid appeared in The New York Sunday News on March 30, 1947. It is this photograph that later became attributed to James Gaussman.
