In Menghai Etaluo Town, Xishuangbanna, there is a world-famous old banyan tree, which is more than 900 years old!
The reason why this tree is famous is not because of its age, there are many ancient trees that are more than 900 years old, and there are many ancient trees that are thousands or even 2,000 years old.The reason why this old banyan tree is famous is because this old banyan tree is so big!
As the saying goes, "a single filament does not make a line, and a single number does not make a forest", but this old banyan tree broke this saying.Because this old banyan tree more than 50 meters tall has as many as 34 aerial roots in addition to the main trunk, and the canopy covers an area of more than 2,000 square meters, that is, three acres of land!
With its numerous aerial roots and huge canopy, the tree looks like a small forest at all.Therefore, on this old banyan tree, people finally saw what it means to be a "lone tree into a forest"!
The old banyan tree in Xishuangbanna is famous all over the world, so many people spend money to go there every year to see the old banyan tree.Originally, Yang Jing still wanted to take Gege there to see the magical old banyan tree, but he didn't expect to see an equally huge old banyan tree in this primeval jungle on Mindoro Island in the Philippines!
The main trunk of the old banyan tree in front of me is estimated to be hugged by more than a dozen adults, and on the branches of this old banyan tree, there are dense and I don't know how many thick aerial roots grow downward.These aerial roots are much thicker than ordinary trees, and some of the thickest aerial roots require at least three people to hug them!
There are dozens of these aerial roots, which hang down to the ground and penetrate deep into the ground, forming a "forest" in this area of three or four acres!"
Oh buy ga!
This tree is so big!
”Even the mature and experienced Chris looked like a ghost after seeing this tree, and the lively and active Clark and Kevin Martin directly took out their mobile phones and started taking selfies, Kevin Martin put away his mobile phone after taking several photos in a row, and said to Yang Jing with a smile: "Boss, my eyes are not bad, right?"
I saw something wrong with that tree just now, this tree is too big, and the height is much higher than the surrounding trees, I didn't expect to see such a magical tree.Oh Maiga, Mark and Sean are so pitiful, they can't see this rare spectacle, and when I go back, I'm going to use these photos to make them envious!
”Yang Jing smiled and pointed at Kevin Martin, then posed and said, "Come, take two pictures of me." ”As soon as several bodyguards saw that the boss was also posing, they immediately took out their mobile phones and started shooting, and in less than ten seconds, Yang Jing estimated that these dogs had to take at least fifty photos of themselves.The mood of being a little bored and bored at the time of coming was greatly alleviated after such a frolic, and after the trouble, several people burrowed into the woods made of a single tree, and began to look for unusual places in it.Not to mention, this search really found a place like no other.This place is not in the woods formed by this old banyan tree alone, but in a jungle about thirty meters away from this old banyan tree, which is the place where Morris discovered.Although it is a mountainous area, the ground is not very undulating, but in the rainforest about 30 meters away from the old banyan tree, a large mound of earth that seems to be a grave bag suddenly appeared.This large mound is 100 square meters in circumference and 3 meters high, but this large mound is hidden deep in the rainforest, and it is almost impossible to find this large mound without walking in front of it."
Boss, this mound is indeed a bit abnormal, in this mountainous area, it is said that there should not be such a mound, this should be artificial.If you look at the trees and shrubs on this mound, especially the trees, they are obviously not very old, not even a hundred years old, and the trees around the mound are at least two or three hundred years old.So, these trees on this mound should have grown on their own later. ”George Bruce stood beside Yang Jing and analyzed carefully.Yang Jing nodded, "That's right, the vegetation on this big mound is indeed a little different from the surrounding vegetation. ”"Boss, there's a big rock here, something doesn't seem right, can you come and take a look?"
The other side of the mound sounded the cry of Carl Morris, and when Yang Jing heard this, he immediately pulled away the vines above his head and walked quickly towards that side."
Boss, there's a big rock here, and it doesn't look like it was washed down from the mountain, but it looks like someone specially moved it here."
Morris said, pointing to a large rock covered in vines and moss.The stone was more than a man long and about a meter seven wide, lying on the ground, wrapped in various vegetation, and I don't know how thick it was.Chris stood beside Yang Jing and looked at the boulder that had been cut off with a saber by Morris and said, "According to the surrounding terrain and environment, this stone should not appear here.First, there is no river here, so the stone could not have been washed down from the mountain.Second, the vegetation here is lush and the soil is thick, so the rocks in the mountains should not be exposed.So, the rock must have been carried from somewhere else. ”Yang Jing touched his chin and nodded, then asked, "Guys, is there a way to move this stone away?"
”Chris was a little embarrassed and said: "Boss, this stone is estimated to be at least seven or eight tons, we don't have the tools to take advantage of it, it is difficult to move this stone." ”"Then dig it and see what's down there around this rock!
The stone appears here, and there is a large mound of earth next to it, which is obviously very abnormal.Guys, dig!
Let's dig it and see!
”Compared to moving the boulder, the soil here is softer, so digging is easier.Although Chris and the others didn't have tools that could move this boulder away, they still carried the convenient and lightweight sapper shovel, so after Yang Jing's order, several people immediately danced the sapper shovel in their hands and dug up on the side of the boulder.The soil is so soft that these sharp sapper shovels dig to a depth of more than a meter very quickly.With a crisp "ding", it is not known whose sapper shoveled a hard object under the soil.Clark exclaimed excitedly, "There's something down there, it doesn't feel like a rock!"
