Few Tourists Will Gaze On Pyramid Nest in China
Monday, March 31, 1947
Reprint from Rocky Mountain News
This long-forgotten pyramid recently was snapped from the air
by army photographers in a remote region of western China. Col. Maurice
Shehan, Far Eastern director of Trans-world Airlines, was among the first to
report the phenomenon.
Washington, March 30. - The
giant pyramid reported discovered
by an American aviator flying over
Shensi Province in China is in a
land of pyramids, the heart of
ancient Chinese civilization.
If the pyramid is located by
exploring parties on the ground, it
probably will never rival the
famous pyramids of Egypt as a
tourist sight. The Chinese
pyramids of that region are built of
mud and dirt and are more like
mounds than the pyramids of
Egypt, and the region is little
traveled.
May Have Exaggerated Height
American scientists who have been
in the area suggest that the height
of 1000 feet, more than twice as
high as any of the Egyptian
pyramids, may have been
exaggerated, because most of the
Chinese mounds of that area are
built relatively low.
The location, reported 40 miles
southwest of Sian, is in an area of
great archeological importance, but
few of the pyramids have ever been
explored.

Scientists who have sought to
excavate in the region have had
difficulties with the local
authorities. Like the pyramids of
Egypt, it Is expected that the
mounds of this area have been
looted for centuries by the natives.
Tombs of Ancient Peoples
Pyramids, such as the one reported
by the American flier, are the
tombs of ancient peoples, with the
biggest pyramids containing
perrors.
In the same area but east of the
tombs of the kings or em- Sian,
ancient capital of several Chinese
dynasties, is the pyramid believed
to be the tomb of Ch’in Shih.
Huang-ti, the emperor who built
the Great Wall of China some 2200
years ago.
Best estimates are that the newly
"discovered" pyramid is at least
2000 years old.
