Wednesday in Nanchang, more photos

- this was a pretty cool story from the Jiangxi museum. There's a region not far from here where there are steep cliffs of soft rocks, where big holes get eroded in the rock. In ancient times, the people put their deceased in camphor wood caskets which were then sealed into the holes in the rocks. Historians have deduced that the people must have used an elaborate system of pulleys to hoist the caskets up the cliffs. But there are some locations where they haven't been able to figure out how they got the caskets up to the holes.
