Paiza Fragments

A groundbreaking metallurgical study has conclusively proven that bronze plates (paizas) discovered across five continents—Alaska, Canada, Peru, Micronesia, and Easter Island—are fragments of the same Yuan Dynasty artifacts, with their matching halves stored in Beijing’s Dadu Palace archives. Using high-definition laser scanning, researchers achieved micron-level precision in matching fracture edges from these geographically disparate locations, a feat with a mathematical probability of 1 in 12 billion occurring by coincidence. This discovery challenges historical narratives and underscores the global reach of Yuan Dynasty influence, supported by rigorous 3D cross-comparative analysis.
