Mystery Of Ancient “Magical” Mirrors – Some Of The Strangest Objects In The World

AncientPages.com - This time our quest for proof of advanced ancient knowledge takes us straight to ancient China and Japan, where we encounter some of the strangest objects in the world - so called "magical mirrors".

The exact origins of ancient Chinese "magical" mirrors are unknown. About 1,200 years ago, a book entitled Record of Ancient Mirrors still existed. This book contained the secrets of these enigmatic objects and their constructions. Unfortunately this book has been lost for over a thousand years.

Today, we wonder what secrets lie behind the thousand-years-old "magical" mirrors that have the creepy ability to project patterns from the back when light is shining on the front?

In ancient China there is one type of rare mirror called t'ou kuand ching, which means literally "light-transmitting mirror". When a strong light strikes the undecorated polished front surface, and is reflected onto a wall or screen, the patterns decorating the back of the mirror mysteriously appear in the reflection.

There is still a lot we do not known about these ancient "magical" mirrors and they are undoubtedly one of the strangest objects in the world.
