The Chinese have found and deciphered ancient writings …
The small Buddhist shrine Fayuan, the Temple of the Source of Dharma, is located in the heart of modern Beijing. Only a few initiates know that it contains a priceless treasure that cannot be measured in any gold - paper lists with the wills of Buddhist monks from an ancient monastery. On paper tapes, hieroglyphs were copied from 15 thousand stone slabs.
Copies are painstakingly rolled up and cataloged like the collections of a large library. 30 million hieroglyphs of these inscriptions are clearly visible, and they can be read, despite the archaism and complexity of the text.
It all started with a stone stele with hieroglyphs, found in 1956 in a village school, containing a precise indication (almost like in a quest!) Where to look for hidden treasures under the ground: “Under the pagoda, one step to the side, 4500 stones are hidden in an underground cache with sutras …”This is how people of the 20th century first learned about the huge stone library.
The Yunju Monastery (Cloud Monastery), founded in the 6th century, lies on the banks of a small river in the spurs of a mountain range, just 80 kilometers from Beijing. One of the monks confidently showed Professor Ledderose where the South Pagoda stood. Archaeologists quickly found what they were looking for - 10 thousand stone slabs. On them - an extensive body of knowledge accumulated by a developed civilization in the period of its highest prosperity. Sutras of the great Buddha, medical knowledge, instructions on how to live in harmony with nature, prophecies, and much, much more.
A natural question arises: why did the monks put so much effort grinding stone slabs and carving hieroglyphs on them, because in China paper and woodcut printing were invented long ago, and from the 10th century. have you already used movable type typography?
Some of the carved prophecies contain apocalyptic texts: merciless fires will rage in the forests, stormy streams will flood fertile fields and cities - natural disasters will devastate the Earth, and in the end it will become uninhabitable.
The death of livestock, unknown ailments, hunger and strife will destroy humanity. Only a select few will be saved, they will move away from the world into inaccessible mountains and will live in deep caves according to the commandments of Buddha.

It is curious that the "stone library" is associated with giant inscriptions located right on a mountain 500 km south of Beijing.
At the foot of the sacred mountain there is a temple in honor of the great Chinese prophet Mencius, a follower of Confucius, who lived in 372-289. BC. Stones with hieroglyphs lie on the top, chaotically scattered along the slopes of the mountain. The giant hieroglyphs carved on stones were clearly not designed for human perception in their size! Some of them are half a meter high, while others are located on steep cliffs, and it is simply impossible to see them from below.
But if large and distinct signs are placed in places where people cannot see them in any way, then someone else should have seen them. But who? Otherworldly beings - gods, angels, spirits or ancestors? Or maybe aliens?..
