history

According to Bruce Cathie, the American pilot James Gaussman reported in 1945 during a reconnaissance or overland flight in the Qin Ling Shan Mountains southwest of Xi'an about a pyramid estimated to be 300 meters high and 400 to 450 meters long.

I banked to avoid a mountain and we came out over a level valley. Directly below was a gigantic white pyramid. It looked like something out of a fairy tale. It was encased in shimmering white. This could have been metal, or some sort of stone. It was pure white on all sides. The remarkable thing was the capstone, a huge piece of jewel-like material that could have been crystal. There was no way we could have landed, although we wanted to. We were struck by the immensity of the thing.
Translation: I avoided a mountain and we came across a flat valley. Directly below us was a gigantic white pyramid. It looked like something out of a fairy tale. It was wrapped in shimmering white. It could have been metal or some kind of stone. It was pure white on all sides. Most notable, however, was the point, a large piece of gem-like material, perhaps made of crystal. There was no way to land, even though we wanted to. We were shocked by the size of the object.

This account is likely based on a report by Maurice Sheahan that appeared in the New York Times on March 28, 1947 . His report locates the observed pyramid in the mountains about 40 miles southwest of Xi'an. Sheahan corrected himself in a 1961 letter that the reported height was not 1000 feet , but rather 500 feet. He explains this with errors in the conversion of Chinese Li over meters into feet.

A photo of the pyramid first published in the New York Sunday News on March 30, 1947, and then again more than 45 years after it was photographed by the American military, has been linked in various sources to both Gaussman and Sheahan. According to Mark and Richard Wells, this photo depicts the Maoling burial mound , the base of which is only about 190 by 190 meters. However, the structure shown in the photo lies in a flat landscape with a place or buildings in the background and shows strong signs of erosion . In the description of the first sighting, however, it is mentioned that the white pyramid stands in the mountains at the end of a long valley and is of perfectly regular shape.

A variety of pyramid-like hills exist in the area around Xi'an . The majority of them can be found north of Xi'an. According to information from Chinese authorities, they are burial mounds belonging to rulers of the Western Han dynasty .

The largest pyramid-like structure, which is still significantly smaller than the original reports of the sighted object indicate, is in a different location, outside the mountains, a few kilometers east of the village of Lintong . This is the Qin Shihuangdis mausoleum , which, with a base of 350 meters in length and an estimated 200 meters in height, is also the site of the famous terracotta army.

Paroscientists like Erich von Däniken and Hartwig Hausdorf are convinced of the existence of the pyramid. They also suspect a connection with extraterrestrial intelligences in the creation of the pyramid. Hausdorf processed the speculations about the pyramid in his book The White Pyramid, published in 1994 and translated several times , which revived interest in the pyramids in China. He assumes that the pyramid is now in a restricted military area and has therefore not yet been identified.
