A stupa is a Buddhist religious building, usually in the form of a hemisphere (by the way, stupas are somewhat reminiscent of fantastic spaceships with an antenna).

The Chaithiyou stupa, created before our era, is located in the mountains near the city of Chaithou in the south of Myanmar (Burma) - a small state in Indochina. This stupa is somewhat different from the others. Firstly, it is very small, and, secondly, it is located on a huge stone that stands on top of the mountain.

The gold-plated stone is held on top in a mysterious way, without any fasteners, violating all the laws of physics.

It sways when touched, moreover, many try to specifically sway it as much as possible, but it stays in place.

Locals believe that it is held by the hair of the Buddha, placed inside the stone. It is said that earlier it was possible to stretch a rope under the base of the stone, and the stone generally hung in the air. But, according to Buddhist legends, when there was more evil on earth, the stone fell on the rock.
