Discovery process

Geng Wei, a professional diver, is called "Water Ghost" because of its excellent natural water quality. In the process of diving, a strange phenomenon under water in a large area on the northeast bank of Fuxian Lake caught his attention.

Geng Wei told reporters: "When I first dived, I found many big stones, including slate and stone strips, with very thick moss on them." Because of the special sensitivity of divers, this phenomenon is very strange to Geng Wei, because through years of diving observation, the bottom landform of Fuxian Lake is mainly muddy sediments. How can a large number of scattered stones suddenly appear in this area? The next discovery surprised Geng Wei even more.

Geng Wei said: "Those buildings are all high platforms, piled with very large stones, which are very regular, one meter two times one meter two. This kind of square stone can be seen everywhere. "

Are these stones natural or artificial? After careful observation, Geng Wei found that the artificial traces of these stones were very obvious.

In the subsequent explorations, Geng Wei thought that from the thick moss attached to these submerged structure stones, these underwater structures were very old, so where did these underwater structures come from? How did you get into the water? Geng Wei couldn't help thinking of a mysterious legend about Fuxian Lake.

In Chengjiang County, Yunnan Province, according to local people, when the weather is clear and calm on weekdays, standing on the nearby mountain, you can occasionally see the wall foundation of Fuxian Lake, an "underwater ancient city", but because the lake is too deep, no conclusive evidence has been found to prove the existence of the ancient city. Is this the legendary underwater ancient city? In order to further find out the truth, Geng Wei dived into the waters for 38 times to detect, filmed a large number of underwater videos, and wrote a special report on the relevant situation, informing the relevant departments and experts in Yunnan Province.
