Riddles in nature that science can not explain. Part 3. Buddha's Gold Stone (eng. Kyaiktiyo Pagoda)
A huge golden stone (granite stone covered with gold leaf) hangs over the precipice, at Chaittiyo Hill in Myanmar. Contrary to all the laws of physics and gravity, the stone does not fall into the abyss and has been in this position for more than 2500 years.
No one can explain why the multi-ton boulder has not yet broken off a cliff.
There is a legend that once the Buddha gave a strand of his hair to the hermit monk Taik Ta. Before his death, the monk-hermit handed the strand to the son of King Tissus, who wished his hair to be permanently fixed in one place.
For this, it was decided to raise a huge boulder from the seabed. This made Nata, Burmese perfume. At the top of the boulder, a small Chayttiyo Pagoda was built, where the hair of the Buddha was bricked up, which is believed to protect the stone from falling.
