In the southwest suburbs of Beijing, the capital city of China, there are several mysterious caves on a high mountain. These caves are filled with stone slabs with Buddhist scriptures engraved on them. According to research, these stone slabs are about 1,400 years old. Who dug these caves? Why are these stone slabs in there?

Buddhism came to China during the Han dynasty (~2000 years ago) So these caves appear to have been created 5-600 years after its introduction. Nice video and pictures. :)
