Ancient legend. A people with holes through their chests. 🦴
Archeology found them. Not born that way. Drilled. 4,000 years ago. Perfectly round. Clean edges. Healed bone — meaning they lived with it.
Not war wounds. Not accidents. Ritual? Rite of passage? Or the world's earliest surgery?
Shan Hai Jing (Classic of Mountains and Seas) wasn't all myth. Someone saw something real. Then told a wild story.
