À propos de cet audio

 Once every five years, a mysterious, ornate gate appears briefly in satellite imagery near Jiayuguan Pass—the western edge of China’s Great Wall—only to vanish again. Locals offer conflicting memories, and theories range from a deliberate temporary structure to a glitch in digital mapping. Was it once a real, lost relic, or just a trick of technology? This episode invites listeners to sift through sky‑high mysteries and decide: fact, fiction… or full‑on bamboozle?

....

Based on available information, there is no credible evidence or documented case of a mysterious, ornate gate appearing and disappearing every five years in satellite imagery near Jiayuguan Pass[1][3][8]. Jiayuguan Pass itself is a well-studied and preserved Ming-era fortress at the western end of the Great Wall, featuring a trapezoid-shaped fort with two main gates and watchtowers[1]. While the pass is associated with legends—such as the "mysterious extra brick" left by its architect—these are local lore and not related to any mysterious gate appearing and vanishing[7][8].
Recent discoveries on the Great Wall have included the identification of secret passages and hidden doors, but these are archaeological finds based on modern imaging and field research, not periodic appearances in satellite imagery[6]. There are no official reports or scholarly references to a recurring, ephemeral gate near Jiayuguan Pass.
If there were such a phenomenon, it would likely be a glitch in digital mapping or a temporary structure rather than a lost relic, given the absence of historical records or archaeological evidence. The conflicting local memories could be influenced by stories, urban legends, or misinterpretations of satellite anomalies. As of now, the claim appears to be a modern myth or internet rumor, not a verified historical or technological event.
