China, Navandui Upland in Hunan Province. Here in 1992, the Chinese army conducted large-scale military exercises. In one of the hills, sappers dug a tunnel and unexpectedly stumbled upon a mysterious structure.
At a depth of 12 meters, there was a tomb in the form of an inverted pyramid. In it, 4 sarcophagi were found, neatly nested inside each other.
In one of them lay a woman's mummy wrapped in silk. Her body did not resemble either ancient Egyptian or Peruvian mummies. It was preserved in a completely unusual way. The mummy was floating in 80 liters of yellowish liquid. 5 minutes after the discovery of the mysterious crypt, this substance literally evaporated, leaving no trace of it.
An autopsy of the mysterious mummy gave amazing results - the body weighed 35 kg., The joints retained mobility, and the muscles did not lose elasticity, even the skin retained its natural shade.
The historian managed to establish the identity of the woman. It was Xin Zhui, a representative of the ancient Thai people. She died in 168 BC. at the age of 50. But why was she buried in such a peculiar way?

Not a single mummy on earth has been buried like this. Dozens of books on medicine were found in Xin Zhui's sarcophagus. In them, to the smallest detail, the most complex operations for brain augmentation, heart transplantation and bypass surgery were described. In ancient China, they knew about the medicine of the future. Where from?
In the sarcophagus, archaeologists have made another unusual find. A map was drawn on a piece of silk about a meter by meter. It depicts the territories of three Chinese provinces at a scale of 1: 180,000. The map looked as if it had been compiled from photographs from near-earth orbit. The Silk Map was compared with modern images of Chinese territories taken by NASA satellites. The incredible accuracy amazed American scientists. Not a single mistake!
How to explain such a deep knowledge of the ancient Chinese in medicine and topography? Why hasn't this knowledge been preserved?
More than 30 years have passed. And the secrets of the mysterious sarcophagus of Xin Zhui have not yet been revealed.
