Summary

Deep in western China, strange metal-like pipes jut from the walls of a remote mountain cave. Some are tiny. Others are massive. Many appear to run toward a nearby lake. When the discovery was reported in the early 2000s near Mount Baigong in the Qaidam Basin, it ignited a storm of speculation. Were these the remnants of an ancient civilization? Evidence of alien technology? Or something even stranger? Initial tests revealed iron-rich structures embedded in rock, traces of unidentified materials, and even reports of radioactivity. The pipes seemed far too uniform to be natural — yet no known culture could be linked to their construction. In this episode of Strange Places, we explore the discovery of the Baigong Pipes, the paranormal theories surrounding them, and the ongoing debate between believers and skeptics.-----------------Head to asylum817.com - the official website of the host and visual artist, Billie Dean Shoemate III-----------------This podcast can also be heard on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, iHeart Radio, Pandora, and wherever you get your Podcast listening experience.-----------------
