Ultrapure post

A pillar of pure iron that does not rust for over 16 centuries in India is in the small town Shimayhalori (near Delhi)





He is so well-known as the "pillar of Indra»



The climate is very humid in India for 1600 years, and this post was literally rust through.



Scientists have put forward several versions on the origin of this post.



Basic version - this is what the ancients smelted this post from a conventional iron with low content of impurities. But as almost primitive people could do it remains a mystery.



Completely pure iron without any impurity in the nature does not exist, but this post is also not entirely out of pure iron. The percentage of iron in it is 99 5%. Even in our time is extremely difficult to achieve such a percentage.



The height of the column of Indra reaches 7, 5 m, and its diameter is 48 cm. At the top of the column reared small tower



A pillar of pure iron glorified himself able to cure all diseases of man enough to stand up, embraced him. As well there is a perception that if lean on the post and, clasping his hands, make a wish, it will come true. Although research on this assertion has not been formally conducted.



Around the pole, scientists have discovered a strong magnetic field. And so, rust found in the lower part. But this is an extremely thin layer.



The inscriptions on the pillars that this post was placed here to commemorate the victory over the peoples of Asia, yet here it is written, that the colonies made during the reign of Chandragupta, and this year, 376-415.



It is unclear how these labels are applied by, maybe they were cast, and may have been pushed out until the metal was warm, or flogged, none with greater confidence can not answer this question.



In the second version, this column was erected by aliens and laid him in a message to us. Scientists are trying to investigate whether there is within him.



Now post fenced grid and make it to no one hugged, kissed, and not trying to split a piece as a souvenir. It certainly will not stop wanting to milestones, but at least some part.



Post a core of experienced shot gun, you should pay attention to the fact that the track almost did not bring damage to the post.



This awesome post stores still many mysteries and secrets, but so far no one wants to tell them.
