Laoyemiao waters of Poyang Lake archaeologists discovered a large number of blue and white porcelain in the late Ming Dynasty Longquan celadon and imitation, also the location of underwater wrecks in the horizon detection.

Infrared aerial photographs show that there is actually under water Laoyemiao a huge sand bar, about 2 km

Under the beautiful calm lake, but bloodshed
Correspondent August 1 learned from the Archaeological Institute of Jiangxi Province, Poyang Lake Laoyemiao waters month-magnetic detection of underwater cultural relics before the end of the work of water operations. Archaeologists found a large number of waters in the late Ming Dynasty Longquan celadon porcelain and imitation, also the location of underwater wrecks in the horizon detection.
Poyang Lake, the “devil triangle.”
Laoyemiao waters in Jiangxi Duchang Duobaoxiang, is China’s largest freshwater lake connecting the narrow waters of the Gan River exports, have “refused to five water and one lake in the throat,” said the length of 24 km. Since ancient times, this section of lake waters is the most advantageous place, fast-flowing, storms rolling, so difficult to watch past the ship, boat accidents often occur, and no way to salvage, so as the China’s “Bermuda”, also known as Poyang Lake, the “devil triangle.”
For thousands of years, mysteriously disappeared in the waters of Poyang Lake Laoyemiao countless ships, and even load 2000 tons ship sank in this. Wu, a local fisherman, told reporters in an interview that he ancestors for generations in this fishing for a living, live in fear every day he has, Poyang Lake may Laoyemiao waters are the only channel leading to the Yangtze River, he had to break The “gates of hell.”
In the eyes of local people, wreck all the strange phenomenon, from a strange legend. According to legend, the first Ming emperor battle with Chen Youliang Poyang Lake, one time the emperor defeated the lake, the water blocking the path, no shipwreck line. Risk acute moment, suddenly there is a giant sea turtle swimming, rescue the emperor crossing the lake. After the emperor was the world, not forgetting the old grace, sealed giant sea turtle as a “per General”, built in the lake, “Dingjiang Temple”, the people known as the “Laoyemiao.” Today folklore is the only sea turtle fine Xingyaozuoguai. To this end, the ship lines now, skipper incense burning paper to be landing, killing livestock and pay homage.
Collected a large number of blue and white porcelain
To solve this mysterious waters of the ancient mystery of sunken in July this year, Jiangxi Institute of Archaeology, Museum and China University of Geosciences Duchang coalition Laoyemiao detection of underwater cultural relics survey team, in collaboration the water water under the metal wreck survey, its purpose is to discover the underwater plane wreck and confirmed its position.
It is responsible for the technical work of detecting China University of Geosciences Professor Wang Chuanlei introduction, this exploration of the use of more advanced high-precision magnetic geophysical methods. Geophysical method was originally looking for high-precision magnetic metallic and nonmetallic minerals, oil and gas metal advanced geophysical methods has been developed to solve the hydrology, engineering geological problems of hydrology, engineering geophysical and other areas, also widely used in the detection buried ancient ruins, ancient burial service for the archaeological work of archaeological geophysical aspects.
Based on past experience, the use of magnetic probing depth of 50 meters, 20 meters above the length of the metal in the wreck is very effective. The detection range of Laoyemiao upstream and downstream parts of the 3,000 meters, which measured area of 7.2 square kilometers for the Northern, Southern 7.5 square kilometers, for a total 14.7 square kilometers.
Investigators probing the bottom of the ship installed metal detectors and hand-held detection equipment and professional satellite positioning equipment sitting in the boat, the shore there is someone to guard the high-precision GPS satellite positioning transmitters. Vessels under the command of the satellite positioning system to walk a straight line basis, a back and forth every 20 meters.
Survey team members in addition to doing the work of the late underwater exploration, but also on the shore of Lake Laoyemiao began a blanket around the heritage survey. After a careful search, the archaeological team collected a large number of blue and white porcelain in the late Ming Dynasty Longquan celadon and imitation, as well as a little white and black enamels.
Wreck location horizon
It is responsible for the detection of technical work in China (Wuhan) University of Geosciences Institute of Geophysics and Geomatics Professor Wang Zhuanlei, due to the need to investigate the detection Laoyemiao waters of the area is too large, so the detective work and then take the first detailed investigation of wrecks found in the census way to determine the location of the wreck.
Wang Chuan-Ray that is now carried out the first phase of the census, and water operations in the field work is completed, study team collected data for computer processing. After the wreck site found abnormal, then sift in the area to determine the appropriate area for further detailed investigation to determine the wreck’s location, size, depth and other parameters. Detect the end of August is expected to submit the results of computer data analysis.
According to the exploration work project leader, researcher at the Institute of Archaeology of Jiangxi Xiao issuing introduced, based on these tiles, can determine the initial Laoyemiao waters sinking in the late Ming Dynasty, most likely, the cargo of sunken ship during this period mainly Jingdezhen export porcelain.
Application of advanced detection technology
Xiao issuing researcher said the with China (Wuhan) University of Geosciences in collaboration magnetic detection, but the archaeological department of Jiangxi Province, the mystery of Secret Laoyemiao wreck exploration work carried out as part of series of science and technology.
Apart from magnetic detection but also detailed investigation of the second phase of the work outside during the will and Donghua University (formerly East China Geological Institute) co-application of multi-beam sonar, lateral sonar, sonar and other shallow stratigraphic section of today’s The most advanced underwater detection technology for this piece of heritage in waters full of scanning probe.
Xiao issuing researcher said there is reason to believe that in the near future, China’s “Bermuda” Mystery eventually revealed to the world.
Poyang Lake, “Devil Water” mystery shipwreck
China’s “Bermuda” – Laoyemiao waters of Poyang Lake is one of the local fishermen and passing ships afraid of the mysterious triangle, since ancient times where numerous boats capsized, a series of people who figure out the mystery, so far is the nature of a still unsolved.
Waters of the mysterious death of bizarre
Wreck the frequent occurrence of complicated and confusing area of terror, disaster often staged in the waters!
April 16, 1945, Japanese invaders, “Kobe” transport ship loaded with more than 200 soldiers and a large number of antiques and paintings, gold and silver jewelry in the Poyang Lake on the road, after Laoyemiao waters, the lake suddenly “call” to Bay a wave of waves, waves a moment empty, hazy fog, torrential rain. Almost at the same time, “Kobe” was somehow break away from the lake to sink rapidly, immediately after the fog lifted Yunkai faction still sunny. The whole process but fifty-six minutes. Japanese naval forces stationed in Jiujiang heard the news, immediately sent an excellent dive rescue team rushed to the scene of the accident probe. Yamashita Tizhao Colonel Captain with seven divers into the water after a long time but not a trace of movement. Until the dark hours of one person only see Tizhao Colonel floating up, his face pale, and looked sluggish, it was discovered that he had mental disorders.
It is reported that in the past 60 years, more than one hundred vessels sank in the waters or mysterious disappearance, it does not understand that there is a violation of the laws of physics there is the mysterious power of the supernatural. Although the ship sank in the waters of countless Laoyemiao also buried many treasures, but incredible, no matterScienceHome how to salvage, if these vessels, “disappeared”, how can wreck salvage vain.
The early 1960s, starting from the mountain pine door to a ship North Laoyemiao, boat trip on the shore not far from disappeared off into the eyes of the people, still do not know trail, more than 10 people missing. March 15, 1985, a load 250 tons, number “41838 Rao machine number” of ships, 6:30 Xu, in about 3 kilometers south of Laoyemiao turbid sank. In the same year on August 3, Jiangxi Jinxian shipping 20 tons each of two vessels, has died at the bottom of the lake in Laoyemiao. The same day, here’s another bad luck befell the 12 vessels. In 1985 alone, the ship sank there in more than 20. In 1988, according to Duchang VTS station records, there are more than 10 vessels in the waters disappear.
Literature, often with a little rumors color. But the fact is that the waters near the wreck of Laoyemiao wreck as “disappeared”, even thousands of tons of Yunsha Chuan also find not a trace.
Salvage team set back the return of international
The summer of 1946, American diving salvage expert, Dr. Edward Bolton, should the KMT government’s invitation had come to salvage Laoyemiao waters “Kobe” sign, which lasted several months spent hundreds of million yuan, not only nothing, also missing several players this, all team members from Edward to remain silent, not through the slightest tone.
40 years later, Dr. Bolton’s memoir in the “United Nations Environment News” published, which first disclosed the year to find a “Kobe” was the truth: that day, about their underwater search of a 1000 meters, all of a sudden call is heard, a dazzling white light to shoot them to the lake violent shaking, ear piercing strange noise coming from Edward not understand what had happened, he was a force firmly suck dragged to the vortex, he immediately are dizziness, numbness gradually into the state. Suddenly his waist by a heavy one hit, the hit to make him wake up, just surrounded by a long reef, he quickly hugged the rocks, when he saw a long white roll swimming in the lake , into the water with him a few companions were white all the way coerced roll away and disappeared in the whirlpool, the salvage team was despite repeated searches, but did not find a body. Why is there white, why is there a strange sound harsh, why do white people would be coerced disappeared in the whirlpool of their bodies can not find? No one can use the scientific method to answer it.
According to records, Laoyemiao waters had sunk thousands of vessels bizarre, logically speaking, should the waters are covered with that one, but the strange thing is that all strange sinking ship, previous diving exploration of people do not see the bottom of the lake over one. These boats where to? Board where people go?
Wreck “culprits” have different opinions
In fact, researchers have long noted the unusual weather phenomena Laoyemiao waters. In early 1985, Jiangxi meteorological science and technology personnel formed a special research team in Laoyemiao set up near the three meteorological observation station, the waters of the weather for a period of one year observational study. Collected from more than 200,000 raw weather data, average of two days there one day Laoyemiao waters are windy days.
It is understood that Laoyemiao waters to 24 km length, maximum width of 15 km, the narrowest point is only 3 km, which is located 3 km Laoyemiao near the surface. And Laoyemiao waters northwest of Lushan Mountain stands proudly, its direction and Laoyemiao waterways north of Hukou parallel, the average distance from the lake only 5 km. When the air flow from north to south, the north wind is blowing, the Lushan Mountain peaks and ridges to the southeast by the compressed air, air speed to begin. When the flow is only 3 kilometers wide Laoyemiao at the time, wind speed, wind will be roaring towards me, as the wind big wave big wave will form a strong impact, resulting in boat crash.
In addition, the researchers later in Laoyemiao waters infrared aerial photographs were found on the lake bottom there is a huge sand bar, perhaps because of the presence of sand bar, blocking the flow of water engulfed in a huge whirlpool formed the bottom of the lake, and The vortex, to the vessel is likely to cause a fatal blow to the culprit.
In addition, Laoyemiao inside this region, there are five rivers of runoff, this place is basically equivalent to a collection point, because the water mixed with each other in different directions, the direction of flow more disorder. Disorders of water collide with each other, forming large and small whirlpool, whirlpool on the hull of these impact the normal flow is different, if we encounter bad weather, the ship will be the probability of an accident is much greater than elsewhere .
Recently, researchers also proposed a new insight: the whole earth as well as in the earth formation so far has the original gas, which is caused by lake wreck of the “culprit.” According to the research, the raw gas, because of cracks in the crust, crustal movement, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes and other activities is released to form a lake of natural gas hydrate.
