The Baigong Pipes- Nature or OOPart?

The strange landscape near Mt. Baigong
We're all familiar with the concept of modern technology having ancient Chinese analogues. But a 2002 discovery in remote Qinghai province is anachronistic enough to constitute an OOPart. Out-of-place-artifacts are so unusual, or found in such improbable contexts, that mainstream science has no plausible explanation for them.
The crystal skulls of Mexico referenced in the latest Indiana Jones movie, the iron pillar of Delhi, and the ancient Greek Antikythera mechanism are examples of OOPart yet to be explained. Like these, the pipes of Qinghai's Mount Baigong suggest a level of technology simply inconceivable for the apparent era of their manufacture. Those open-minded enough to think "extraterrestrial" when searching for a theory, while often dismissed out-of-hand, have like-minded souls in some of the Chinese scientists investigating.
Locals, residing forty kilometers southeast of Qinghai's Delingha city, have known of the pipes for centuries. They credit aliens for their construction, and even have legends of extraterrestrial visitors to Mt. Baigong. Although the stories are met with predictable skepticism, they become harder to laugh off when one takes in the sixty-meter pyramid near the mountain's summit. Superficially, the pyramid could be shrugged off as having been shaped by natural forces. For some reason, however, the structure has not been conclusively studied, at least officially.
Near the foot of Mt. Baigong lie three caves, the largest and most accessible some eight meters high by six meters deep. Inside, spanning from the roof to the back end of the cave, runs a pipe 40 cm in diameter. Another one roughly the same size runs into the earth from the floor, with just the top protruding.

A piece of Baigong pipe
The pipes, according to tests carried out at a local smeltery, are made chiefly of iron, but with an unusual thirty percent silicon dioxide in their matrix. They are also centuries old, if Xinhua and its source, Liu Shaolin, the engineer who carried out preliminary tests, are to be believed. Strange, but easily written off as a bizarre metallurgical operation by some nomads with too much time on their hands, assuming geological origins of the eerily symmetrical pyramid.
However, dozens of pipe openings have been discovered in the mountains far above the caves. Now these nomads must be credited with some advanced system of drilling since forgotten, as there is no modern industry in the area nor record of such. Not far from the foot of Baigong sits Toson Lake, on whose beach run many more iron pipes in unlikely patterns and in a variety of diameters, toothpick-sized at the thinnest. More pipes are in the lake, some protruding above the water surface, others buried beneath the lake's bed.
Although nine Chinese scientists were reportedly dispatched to make a detailed analysis of the pipes in 2002, there has been no further information. This hasn't prevented local government from promoting the site as a tourist attraction. A CCTV crew went to Mt. Baigong soon after, accompanied by researchers from the Beijing UFO Research Association, but no record or footage of the expedition has come to our attention. If this is because such documentation would be widely laughed off, then they would at the expense of Yang Ji, a research fellow of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences who told Xinhua that the extraterrestrial theory was "understandable and worth looking into".
Then again, plain old terrestrial science has many mysteries left to be fully explained. Similar pipe-like structures have been found in the Jurassic sandstone of the Southwestern United States, as well as in Citronelle formations in Louisiana. No pyramids have been found close on, and researchers have concluded that they were formed through natural processes. But similar conclusions from scientists studying the Baigong pipes have yet to be announced, six years later.

Apparent mineral deposit
It is likely that the 'pipes' are hydrothermal or other groundwater deposits of an iron mineral(s). While I have not researched it thoroughly, that is my sense of these phenomena, given decades of training and experience as a geologist.
I would like to see a more detailed chemical assay of the formations. Of course, additional pictures and maps would add extra dimensions to the info.
These are very interesting occurences, I will hopefully have time to do the research.
Apparent Mineral Deposit
I also would like to see a big, fat assay.

Unfortunately it probably isn't in the local officials interest to release any scientific information on these formations: "OOParts" and "Alien Technology" draw a lot more attention (and tourist revenue) than "Unique Hematite Formations".
naturally occuring?
I find it highly unlikely that nature could form perfectly circular long hollow iron tubes given that natural formations typically use fractal geometry and sequences such as the phi ratio to "grow" The arrogance of modern scientists continues to baffle me - they would like to believe that as a species we've gotten smarter over the centuries and I contend that much of our collective knowledge is much older than modern science will ever admit. Take the great pyramid at giza for example - the math used in its construction utilized both pi and phi although these formulas were supposedly discovered by the Greeks thousands of years later.
Ancient Civilization
There was an advanced civilization in this solar system before mankind. There are remnants of them all over the planets and in space. This is a closely guarded secret because of who they were and what they are today. It will all be revealed shortly and it won't be by a geologist.
Baigong Pipes - Nature
Baigong Pipes are just Nature formations, these things are all over the planet, Nothing new, Smaller verions can be found on your local beach.
Thinking its Alien Technology is nuts.
The real amaging things is the Baigong area was founded by Northern Europeans and this gives rise to the old tails that WOden(son of Thor) was Buddah.

There has actually been
There has actually been numerous ancient "civilizations" each with a different formula for life...
Where some could use sound as a force, and others had use of the full spectrum of their brains' power (telepathy, clairvoyance).
This world is not what you think it is. And we are not the sole owners of said property.
Interesting area
Isn't this the area where the Caucasian mummmies were found and where pyramids are located?

Pipes formed with silicon dioxide as in an alloy? Nah, this is not natural.

Read Velikovsky, Worlds in collision. He postulates that Venus was a rougue planet that behaved like a comet and passed through our Solar System turning the world upside down then, after 52yrs, passed back through and turned us upside down/right way up and flew off into space for thousands of years.
The interesting point being that the last time Venus passed close to Mars, robbed it of its atmosphere and in doing so slowed down enough to become a Solar planet. This is why it is called Venus as in that which has come or the arrived. Our Planet is many times older than the academics believe and has had many civilizations before ours.
Velikovsky's theory explains coal and the things people find in it as well as the many OOParts found so far as each cataclysmic inversion of the Earth caused large Tsunamis that wiped the face of the Earth almost clean.
Take a Football in your hand and while slowly spinning it turn it upside down; you will notice that two points on the ball will effectively stand still. Those who lived there would have a higher survival rate than people else where. "And for three days darkness covered the land and when the Sun rose on the fourth day it rose where it used to set and set where it used to rise" said the Egyptians while the Mayans said that the sun turned in a circle in the sky and set where it used to rise.
The good news is that, unless there are other rogue planets out there, the Earth is going to stay much as it is, magnetic reversal will probably not happen again and the DAY OF JUDGEMENT has been and gone forever.
So, apart from the nutters in control of our planet at the moment, we are home and dry. Suppose we should just put them on a ship and send them off to find out where Venus came from.
Never mind SETI why can't we use computing, and all the astronomical data we already have, to run the Solar Systam backwards and see if Venus begins to wobble and then shhot off into space?
Happy new Earth to all.
"Pyramid, shaped by natural
"Pyramid, shaped by natural forces?" Then they wouldn't be called pyramids, would they?---But I've seen them, the Chinese have attitude--to have people think they're natural mountains, the governmt has workers put soil and plant trees on each pyramid step, After a while, as the trees take root, it starts to look like a real part of the landscape. Good way of hiding things, eh? Hide in plain sight?
History: Fiction or Science?
Russian Professors of Physics (Astronomy) and Mathematics (topology)
have proven that the "concensual history" is vastly falsified.
There was a global empire of ancient Russia, which also built the "Egyptian" and "Mayan" Pyramids. The French proved in the 1970 that the "Egyptian" Pyramids are made of non-hydratic concrete and metal joint-forks. There was _no_ "antiquity" and thus the "middle ages" is a phantom term for when biblical era events occured.
baigon pipes
They are free energy devices. Connect a wire from the pipes coming out of the roof to a light bulb positive terminal and another wire from the negative terminal of the light bulb to the pipe in the ground.... you will probably blow up the light bulb. The compressed silicon dioxide in the pipes are piezoelectric and the current is carried in the iron. When you ground it..the current flows. This is simple free energy technology that is being covered up for thousands of years. You can get the same technology in the Ark of the covenant if you put 2 red granite quartz stones inside it and another on top.... it will throw of lightning bolts up to a mile away. Either the scientists are dumb or it is being covered up.. my guess is that the scientists are dumb.

China was part of the Uigher Empire, the largest and most advanced of the Lemurian colonial empires. These could have been left over from that time

I say it's ET's job. No way it's natural, and the earth is not flat. And AIDS is not just a natural virus. And over 50 years of billions of dollars into cancer research and 30 years of HIV -there is no cure and only drugs to keep you spending money on maintaining your health and not curing anything --is not a coincidence. Those who watch TV news and read newspapers and believe it --are **cked up! Will any one from the governemtn tell you " Yes, we have UFO's here on this planet since 1945 for your security we didn't disclose it, and now we are telling you this just in case you need to know". Ahem.

This is a water based universal matrix. everything is water. there are no protons or electrons or ions or isodopes (yes you read that correctly)
Each 'element' is a stablised magnetic field patern of energy. electricity is water, air is water, iron is water and so forth. even in genisis page one of the bible it says and the waters were separated from the waters. to big a thesis for this comment page. but you certainly have free will to believe that et's didnt live here ever, energy cant be tapped from the matrix, and the universe is infinite. nothing travels faster than light, gosh such finite thinking....
of course what can you expect from people who believe rat poison (floride) is good for your teeth, margerine is a health food, microwave cooking is healthy, private individuals controling the worlds money supply (fed) is beneficial for everyone, war is peace (george orwell?) after all war on terrorism is peace. war on drugs is healthy.
so why wouldnt their atomic structure and presentation of history also be highly suspect.

I think the pipes show that plumbers have the oldest profession.

I find it puzzling that no major investigation has been done. Surely, National Geographic would be interested. Some obviously smart, educated people have made comments herein, from one side to the other, but all good premises. Was something found that has been intentionally surpressed? More disinformation? Why?
ancient iron pipes in China
www.thunderbolts.info did a page last year on the iron pipes. Go there to learn about the electric plasma universe model of cosmology. It is thought that the pipes could be a form of fulgerites, the solidified result of lightning strikes (or one huge bolt of lightning). That would explain the sand(silicon dioxide) mixed in with the iron. Geodes also fit this model and China is where there are many stone balls the size of boulders. You can see several pages in the archive about them. Giant crystals 30 to 50 feet long and 5-10 foot in diameter were found in a Mexican cave. These too are thought to be caused from huge lightning, making the cave a magnificent geode!

First of all, giving
First of all, giving *aliens* all the credit, like humans weren't capable of such things is sad. Look at what we can do now. It didn't take us thousands of years...it took us 50-60 years to do the things we can do today. So, imagine civilizations prior to our own who had more time. You cannot discount the ingenuity that went into making the Ziggurats and pyramids the world over. Or the technology that is in the bible, or the fact that there are gaps in human evolution. Mysteries abound but it has nothing to do with aliens and everything to do with us not having respect for what our own species is capable of. And as a side not, those pipes are similar to ones found in Africa. There are so many ruined but unstudied places in Africa and yet, here we are discussing one-fifth of those mysteries and thinking we know everything. Give me a break.
Not natural
.
Natural formations are rarely angular. Furthermore, the "pipes" come in defined discrete sizes. As if there has been some kind of standardization at work. For this to be a natural formation, we would be rather hard pressed to find similarity in the shapes and orientations, unless they were due to the overall geometric atomic level lattice structures formed under pressure and temperature extremes.
.
OF course it is possible that these formations were human made in the great antiquity. but the question then arises, why? By whom? And Why? A Composition such as is indicated indicates a great need for corrosive properties. So then why is yet another question.
.
Until a defined geological process is associated with the formations of these structures, the only possible answer to the cause of this formation would be by an animal of some type for reasons yet unknown. Whether the animal is human, proto-human, not sentient earth native, or EBE is completely inconclusive.
.
The limited information placed in this article is yet a tease of the far greater mysteries that lie dormant in the mountainous structure. What i can say with certainly is this...
.
The Chinese government sent a preliminary party of skilled professional geologists up to the site. They reported on what they found to the government. The results were not made public. Soon afterwards, a complete team of investigators followed to the region. Their work, conclusions, results and studies are all censored and are not available to the public.
.
Think what you might. But certainly, a preliminary team of geologists decided that anthropologists and material engineers needed to investigate the site. This should be of great interest...
Baigong pipes
Has any one been to Yanchep beach, Western Australia. There are also strange pipelike formations in the rocks there. Also rock rings in the water which look like the "rings" formed in boiling porridge that could have been caused by thick,boiling mud cooling and solidifying.

a lot of you guys have weird theories, but the creativity is actually very good to have.
if these pipes are metal, i highly doubt they are natural.
but i need to see more pictures. more pictures more pictures

Pipe or Stone
The images in that picture does not look like pipes. There are to be stones. Then, It's amazing, why the stone are standing!?!
I think it is a nature, god
I think it is a nature, god make it to show the mightiness. we must keep it from the destruction.
Pipe-making industry in the last century.
I think some Chinese scientists to investigate and find out there are pipes for centuries on the Qinghai Delingha city.
The visitors to the Mt. Baigong, see three caves and the pipes are made of iron, with thirty percent of silicon dioxide in the matrix (according to Liu Shaolin engineer). Promoting local government as a tourist attraction site to the pipes in the lake a few stand out above the water surface and in water. Impossible because there is no modern industry in the area in the century about the making of pipes.
it is easy to make something
it is easy to make something happen by using technologies, unfortunately, it is hard to belief the technologies can reveal anything....

Hm, not the most impressive
Hm, not the most impressive artifacts I've seen. Maybe the picture doesn't do the pipes justice. They kind of remind me of the vent pipes you can find in the deep ocean. Who knows, if they're that old the may have surfaced.

Bathroom pipes don't look so great either, but are a triumph of modern living.
Desalination Technique
I like to think that it was a station used to desalinate water. The pipes could have been designed to take water out of the salty lake, desalinate it in the pyramid using some ancient yet brilliant technique and then deposited the water in the reservoir. That would explain why there is a salt water lake and a fresh water lake up there....and it would also explain why the pyramid was built next to the salt water lake.

SD....the first picture in the article appears to be manmade.....and they do not appear to be hematite.
The remaining pictures could be anywhere.
Similar structures have been found in the American Southwest.....in the Navajo Sandstone.....and since much of the cement holding the formation together is iron cement.....a source does exist.

nice comment, and some good reading and well made points - seems like you could do with looking into the sumerians, the anunaki and nibiru - not to mention the transition of earth and indeed our whole solar system through the plane of the galactic centre in 2012 and its (somewhat inevitable) polar shifting consequences...happy digging!
