Crystal Artefacts
Unearthed
In a Palaeolithic Cave in China
It is announced in a press conference held
on 8 August 2009 by a Chinese provincial cultural
relic authority, that a cave containing rich artefacts
dating back to so-called "Palaeolithic Age"
30,000 years ago has been discovered.
The site, named Water Curtain Cave Relic
Site (水帘洞遗址), is
located in Flat Hill County (平山县) in Hebei (河北), a
province that surrounds Chinese capital Beijing.
The sedimentary layers in the cave are
described as being deposited sequentially in time, with
rocks located in the bottom and the layers with animal
remains and of cinder and ashes at the top, suggesting a
life-style of hunting, fishing and gathering. Most of the artefacts
unearthed are found to be made of animal bones, including
those from rhinoceros, horses, deer and goats, while the
stone articles are mainly made of limestone,
metamorphite, flintstone and crystal.
It seems, 30,000 years prior to the White settlers' exploration of ora deposits in the land
of the black indigenous Australians, Chinese had already
developed a stone mining and processing business.
Thinking China will not be able to survive without Rio's
rocks and pebbles? In fact, the case of Hu the Chinese
traitor of Tinto only
spotlights risks of doing business with
the West for the
developing nations. Be vigilant, always, of those with a
heritage of forcing other country into free drug trade
through gunboat diplomacy.
