What amazing discovery has the mysterious goddess idol made?

The ancient Indian people left many immortal masterpieces with their diligence and wisdom, which showed the exquisite skills of the Indian people from architecture to artistic sculpture. Just like this mysterious goddess statue, in the eyes of only 8 mm, it contains a huge picture of life!

Amazing discovery

There is a life-size statue of the goddess on the altar of Guadeloupe Cathedral in Mexico. It is said that this is the work of1Indians in the early 1930s, and it has been more than 400 years.

Because of the existence of this precious statue of the Virgin Mary, there are endless visitors in the church, and people stare at it for a long time. This statue of the Virgin from ancient times has a serene face, and people can't help but be impressed by the exquisite carving skills of Indians.

1929 One day, a photographer named Alfonso was ordered to take some pictures of the cathedral. For a long time, the photos taken by Alfonso were distributed around the world through the hands of many tourists here. Guadeloupe Cathedral is famous for it, and Alfonso photographers are very satisfied with their photography skills.

Today Alfonso turned on the camera lens and looked for the ideal shooting angle on the altar. The statue of the saint is of course the center of these photos. Alfonso adjusted the lens again and again, hoping to make this beautiful statue of the virgin more charming.

Just as Alfonso was about to press the shutter, suddenly he saw something flashing in the virgin's eyes. "What is hidden in the saint's eyes?" Alfonso is curious. He stopped filming, put his eyes in front of the camera and watched carefully.

After careful observation, Alfonso actually saw a vague and strange figure in the eyes of the Virgin! This figure is obviously cleverly carved by Indians and has been hidden there for more than 400 years!

Alfonso forgot to take another photo and quickly told the bishop about this amazing discovery. The bishop came in a hurry. Looking through a magnifying glass, he did capture this unclear figure.

This matter is mysterious and important, and a figure appears in the eyes of the mysterious and sacred statue of God. The bishop decided not to let it spread, so as not to damage the reputation of this pure saint. Alfonso accepted the proposal and buried it in his heart.

The Mystery of "Characters" in Icon

However, a careful person finally saw the mystery again. This is a painter named Cross. He often came to the church to copy this beautiful statue of the Virgin Mary, and his observation of her became more and more delicate. One day, when he aimed the long lens of the camera at the virgin's eyes, which were only 8 mm big, the painter Cross cried in surprise. This time, he clearly saw: the image of the virgin, there is an image in the image, and a small figure appeared in the right eye of the virgin!

Cross was not a priest, so he didn't have to obey the rules of the church, so it was quickly spread by Cross! For a time, the Madonna became the object of scientists' scrambling to study. After careful observation under a microscope with a magnification of 40 times, more than 20 famous experts confirmed that there was indeed a figure in the right eye of the Madonna, and they had recognized it as a bust of an Indian old man stroking his beard and gray hair with his hands. People can even see that his expression seems to be thoughtful. You know, this is a portrait carved in the eyes of an 8mm virgin. It not only has hair and beard, but people can even see the expressions of the characters. How can it not be amazing?

After several decades, people's interest in the study of the Madonna has not diminished until February 1979, when Yue Se, a professor at new york University in the United States, used his computer equipment to enlarge the ordinary-sized Madonna by 2700 times for the first time. Any tiny secret was exposed, and the 8 mm eyes of the Madonna were enlarged to two meters.

As a result, people have made even more amazing discoveries. In the eyes of saints, it is not a figure, but 12! And two eyes. These little people are all Indians. Some of them are praying, some are playing with children, some are wearing hats and cloaks. These pictures are all scenes of life in India.

Why do saints have figures in their eyes? What do these numbers mean? How did they get carved into such a small space? People haven't found the answers to these questions.

In order to solve these historical problems, we need further development of science.
