Great Wall of China from space: Kubla Khan

(National Geographic Asia) Sept. 30, 2020: Archeologist Allan Maca leads a team of intrepid experts on an epic adventure to solve mysteries, explore secrets, and reveal amazing wonders of Ancient China like never before.

Stupa burial mounds exist across Central Asia

Guided by images from space [20 to 50 miles above earth], cutting-edge technology on the ground, and the very latest excavations of Chinese archeologists, they will reveal palaces and tombs, incredible megastructures, and even entire long-lost cities. Along the way they will uncover new revelations about the Great Wall of China, explore the myths of Xanadu [made famous by the British poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge's "Kubla Khan," which Wisdom Quarterly's own poet in residence, Dhr. Seven, thinks refers to a Buddhist civilization and a description of a Buddhist stupa, pagoda, and temple complex, which Coleridge read about from the writings of a British Christian missionary and traveler who visited the very place Coleridge is dreaming of and trying to describe in verse], and unearth evidence of ancient civilizations — discovers that are rewriting the history books.

"Kubla Khan"

Samuel Taylor Coleridge

In Xanadu did Kubla Khan

A stately pleasure-dome decree:

Where Alph, the sacred river, ran

Through caverns measureless to man

     Down to a sunless sea.

So twice five miles of fertile ground

With walls and towers were girdled round;

And here were gardens bright with sinuous rills

Where blossom'd many an incense-bearing tree;

And here were forests ancient as the hills,

Enfolding sunny spots of greenery.

Not blocks of ice but durable white stones

But oh that deep romantic chasm which slanted

Down the green hill athwart a cedarn cover!

A savage place! as holy and enchanted

As e'er beneath a waning moon was haunted

By woman wailing for her demon-lover!

And from this chasm, with ceaseless turmoil seething,

As if this earth in fast thick pants were breathing,

A mighty fountain momently was forced:

Amid whose swift half-intermitted Burst

Huge fragments vaulted like rebounding hail,

Or chaffy grain beneath the thresher's flail:

And mid these dancing rocks at once and ever

It flung up momently the sacred river.

Five miles meandering with a mazy motion

Through wood and dale the sacred river ran,

Then reached the caverns measureless to man,

And sank in tumult to a lifeless ocean:

And 'mid this tumult Kubla heard from far

Ancestral voices prophesying war!

Manmade cave, not of ice but stone

     The shadow of the dome of pleasure

     Floated midway on the waves;

     Where was heard the mingled measure

     From the fountain and the caves.

It was a miracle of rare device,

A sunny pleasure-dome with caves of ice!

     A damsel with a dulcimer

     In a vision once I saw:

     It was an Abyssinian maid

     And on her dulcimer she play'd,

     Singing of Mount Abora.

     Could I revive within me

     Her symphony and song,

     To such a deep delight 'twould win me,

That with music loud and long,

I would build that dome in air,

That sunny dome! those caves of ice!

And all who heard should see them there,

And all should cry, Beware! Beware!

His flashing eyes, his floating hair!

Weave a circle round him thrice,

And close your eyes with holy dread:

For he on honey-dew hath fed,

And drank the milk of Paradise.

How did the sky devas/ancients cut out rock to make Buddhist monastic art caves?

Principal Buddhist disciple Maha Kassapa (Kizil)

The Kizil Caves are a set of Buddhist rock-cut caves located near Kizil Township (克孜尔乡, Kèzī'ěr Xiāng), Baicheng County, Aksu Prefecture, Xinjiang, China.

Their name in Chinese is 克孜尔千佛洞, 克孜爾千佛洞, literally "Kizil Caves of the Thousand Buddhas," Uighur قىزىل مىڭ ئۆي, lit. "The Thousand Red Houses," Romanized Qizil or Qyzyl Caves, where kizil means "red."

A closer look at Ven. Maha Kassapa

The site is located on the northern bank of the Muzat River, 65 km (75 km by road) west of Kucha. This area was a commercial hub of the Silk Road [3],

The Buddhist caves have an important role in Central Asian art and in the Silk Road transmission of Buddhism [from their home in the three Shakya Land seasonal capitals of Bamiyan, Mes Aynak, and Kabul/Kapilavastu, Afghanistan/Gandhara and neighboring Magadha and Bihar in India].

Why do Buddhists meditate in artsy caves, soma?

They are said to be the earliest major Buddhist cave complex in China, with development occurring between the 3rd and 8th centuries CE [3].

The caves of Kizil are the earlier of their type in China, and their model was later adopted in the construction of Buddhist caves further east [4].

Another name for the site has been Ming-oi (明屋, "The Thousand Houses"), although this term is now mainly used for the site of Shorchuk (Shikshin Temple) to the east [5].

The Kizil Caves were inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2014 as part of the Silk Roads: the Routes Network of Chang'an-Tianshan Corridor World Heritage Site [6]. More

Kizil: 236 Buddhist rock-cut caves (Alamy)

The site is located on the northern bank of the Muzat River 75 km northwest of Kucha (Kuqa), a commercial hub of the Silk Road. The caves are said to be the earliest major Buddhist cave complex in Xinjiang, with development occurring between the 3rd and 8th centuries. Although the site has been both damaged and looted, at least 1,000 square meters of wall paintings — mostly Jataka Tale rebirth stories — remain (Alamy).
