Nine strange incidents in Lop Nur

Lop Nur is a magical place. Legend has it that this is a restricted area for human death. Various incredible incidents have occurred inside, although we still don't know whether it is true or false. So, what kind of truth is hidden in these bizarre incidents?

In July 1972, in a photo of Lop Nur taken by the Earth Resources Satellite launched by NASA, Lop Nur looked like a human ear, with not only helices, ear holes, and even earlobes. How was this ear of the earth formed? Some people believe that this was mainly caused by floods from the southern slope of Tianshan Mountains in the late 1950s. When the flood water flows into the lake basin, it passes through the desert, carries a large amount of sediment, impacts and dissolves the original dry lake basin, and forms a protruding annular strip underwater according to the direction of water flow. The Lop Nur area is known as a "Devil's Triangle" on the Asian continent, through which the ancient Silk Road passed. Many lonely souls and wild ghosts have wandered here since ancient times, with dead bones everywhere. When Faxian, an eminent monk in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, passed by here on his westward journey to learn scriptures, he once wrote that "there are many evil spirits in the Shahe River who die if they encounter the hot wind, and none of them are complete..." Many people died of thirst not far from the spring. Unbelievable things happen from time to time.

Among the nine most unbelievable incidents on

website are the following: First: In 1949, a plane flying from Chongqing to Dihua (Urumqi) disappeared over Shanshan County. In 1958, it was discovered in the east of Lop Nur, and all the people on board died. What is puzzling is that the plane was originally flying northwest, why did it suddenly change its course and fly due south? Case 2: In 1950, a guard of the People's Liberation Army's bandit suppression force disappeared. More than 30 years later, the geological team found his body in Hongliugou on the south bank of Lop Nur, more than 100 kilometers away from the accident site. Item 3: On June 17, 1980, the famous scientist Peng Jiamu disappeared during an expedition in Lop Nur. The country dispatched aircraft, army, and police dogs, and spent a lot of manpower and material resources to conduct a carpet search, but found nothing. In 2007, a mummy was finally discovered in Lop Nur, but after a series of twists and turns of DNA identification, it was determined that the mummy was not Peng Jiamu. Item 4: In 1990, seven people from Hami took a passenger and cargo car to Lop Nur to find crystal mines, and they never returned. Two years later, three corpses were found lying under a steep slope. The car was 30 kilometers away from the deceased, and the whereabouts of the others were unknown. Item 5: In the summer of 1995, three Milan farm workers went to Lop Nur in a Beijing Jeep to explore treasures and disappeared. Later explorers found the bodies of two of them 17 kilometers away from Loulan. The cause of death was unknown, and the whereabouts of the other person were unknown. What was unbelievable was that their car was intact and there was no shortage of water and gasoline. Item 6: In June 1996, China explorer Yu Chunshun disappeared while on foot and exploring alone in Lop Nur. When the helicopter found his body, forensic medicine determined that he had been dead for five days. The reason was that he had deviated from the original trajectory by more than 15 kilometers and could not find a water source, and he eventually died of thirst. After his death, people found his head facing in the direction of Shanghai. (Yu Chunshun is from Shanghai) Item 7: In 1997, under the leadership of his father, a family of three from Dunhuang, Gansu Province went to search for treasure near Loulan. As a result, they never returned. The bodies of the last three were discovered by gold miners. Item 8: In 1997, four people in Changji drove a large truck to Hongliugou on the south bank of Lop Nur to look for gold mines, but there was no news. In 1998, four bodies and a dilapidated car were found near Hongliugou. Case 9: At the end of 2005, someone in Dunhuang found the body of an unknown male in Lop Nur. At that time, it was speculated that the man was a "hiking friend", and the forensic doctor determined that he was not killed. After the body was discovered, it also attracted the attention of hundreds of thousands of "traveling friends" in the country. Some even launched an initiative on the Internet to find his identity. Finally, with the efforts of everyone, the man's identity was finally confirmed. And finally, his remains were returned to his hometown. It was found that the man went to Lop Nur on his own in 2005, but why he died has always been a mystery... What happened to these mysterious deaths? Is it a simple natural death or is there something else supernatural? Everything remains a mystery.
