This is great. I wonder what kinds of history and information will be extracted from the 10,000 documents!

Yeah, but the first document deciphered stated: Kilroy was here!
But seriously, this is interesting. That's a great find. It would be very interesting to be able to see and read more about them.

Didn't the Emperor Qin order all historical documents from before his time to be destroyed? Maybe there's some lost history in there or something.

Think shags on to something.
Why not dump 10,000 piece of info into a well if not for safe keeping. During Henry VIII's reign cobs of religous icons were buried.
The other hand it might have been a spring cleaning day.
Anyway, Vannrox, thank you for the post.

Too bad they're going to destroy the site. I mean, hydropower is ok, but couldn't they just build another nuke plant or something ....
