Chapter 238

turn into mud once it entered the river, and no one would definitely notice it.Seing no one around, I quickly unzipped my backpack and was about to dump the dirt into the river."Wait! Stop!""What do y...The Eight Tangkas are also known as the Eight Divine Cards, and there is no particular order to their ranking.

First, there is the thangka of Gyalwa Karmapa; Second, the thangka of the Sakya lineage masters; Third, the thangka depicting Beje Dordje practicing in the cave of Blabrong Mountain; Fourth, the thangka depicting Vajrayaksha with the luminous jewel of Gampopa's Rock-Carved Embroidery; Fifth, the thangka depicting Two Bodies Conjoined Vajrasattva; Sixth, the black tantric painting of Mahakala; Seventh, the woven silk thangka of Multicolored Buddha Shakyamuni; Eighth, the thangka of Shakyamuni Buddha commissioned by the imperial court for Chengde Mount Sumeru Fuxing Temple.

Besides these, anything else aspiring to be on par with the Ayutthaya period might have to play catch-up.

What was hidden inside this tower we unearthed in Har Khor

Judging by the size of those items, the gold bottle definitely wouldn't fit. The Nine-Eyed Sky Bead is possible, but the thangka would have to be very small and rolled up.

Of course, there is also something in living beings worthy of being enshrined in the Ayyavara Pagoda.

That is it.

Relic.

...and it has to be the relic of a great master.

This tower was built during the Western Xia period, and later generations in the Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties definitely excluded it.

It's hard to say if it's a fake Buddha relic, but I'm telling you, this is truly the genuine relic of the Tathagata Buddha himself.

Don't think it's a myth, the Buddha was a real person two thousand years ago.

The earliest prototype of the Ashoka Stupa appeared in the Mauryan Empire's Peacock Dynasty. Ashoka was the third-generation king of the Peacock Dynasty, and he revered Buddhism during his later years.

It is said that after the Buddha attained Nirvana hundreds of years later, King Ashoka of the Koshala Dynasty collected 14,000 relics of the Buddha's true body. Among them was one skull bone, four teeth, and a section of the middle finger bone.

He cast fourteen thousand (or eighty-four thousand) iron stupas to house these relics.

Therefore, according to our historical records, there are Buddha's top bone relics, Buddha's hair relics, Buddha's finger bone relics, Buddha's tooth relics, and finally, Buddha's shadow bone relics.

We didn't know at the time that the Buddha's top bone relic was unearthed in 2010 many years later. It was found at the Dafang en Temple, and there are documentaries you can watch if you want to know more. You can also check them out to see what the Ashoka Stupa looks like, because the Buddha's top bone was enshrined there at the time.

But that Ayutthaya Pagoda is very tall, over a meter high, and my head statue is much smaller, only about 30 centimeters. It's like a miniature version.

I spent a whole night discussing with Lao He, speculating on all possible outcomes. In the end, we roughly guessed that this pagoda might contain a Nine-Eyed Sky Pearl, Buddhist relics, or one of the small Tangkas.

If it weren't for the fact that things were so hectic, we wouldn't have discovered this until later.

To sell, or not to sell, that is the question that weighs heavily on my mind right now.

Some friends might say, "Are you guys stupid You won't take the things out and then sell the tomb again, selling double the price You idiots, just this alone is tomb robbing. I'm smarter than all of you."

"

" Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Someone would definitely say that, and they'd be right. But we couldn't do it at first. The Ayukwang Pagoda at the Dabo Temple wasn't unearthed until years later. If you want to see how difficult it was to open the pagoda completely, just go take a look yourself.

At that time, the military research institute had so many experts. They spent over three months researching and drawing blueprints before finally successfully opening it.

Although our little project isn't that complex, it still presents some challenges.

It's not sold yet.

However, in order to open this thing and see what's inside, we went to great lengths.

How can we fully open the Ayutthaya Historical Park without negatively impacting sales
