They have been standing here for many centuries, but no one knows who built them and when. The towers in Sichuan province can easily compete with them for the title of the most ancient skyscrapers: they are also very ancient, and their height is about 60 meters.
They first started talking about them only in 1998. Then the French researcher Frederic Darragon went to the Chinese mountains to study snow leopards, but her attention was attracted by dozens of stone towers in local villages.
Of course, what first impressed her was that no one knew why these structures were built.
Frederic spent 5 years studying these unique structures. She mapped them, counted them, analyzed the building material, and even climbed them, which did not pose any particular danger.
She tried to find information about the Himalayan skyscrapers, but the locals knew nothing about them: according to them, they have always been here.
