Stele from 1556 Shaanxi Earthquake

Origin
The 1556 Shaanxi earthquake was a catastrophic earthquake and is the deadliest earthquake on record, killing approximately 830,000 people. This event took place during the Ming Dynasty affecting more than 97 counties in China. A 520 mile area was destroyed and in some counties as much as 60% of the population was killed. On the Moment Magnitude Scale, which is used to determine the strength of earthquakes, it was shown to be a 7.9.

The Shaanxi earthquake's epicenter was in the Wei River Valley in the Shaanxi Province. Everyone around the center died, all the building destroyed and the only thing that remained was a Stele. A Stele is a stone slab, generally taller that it is wide, erected as a monuments. The ground around the Stele proved that it had indeed fallen over but hadn't been broken. One scholar, Qin Keda, who survived the quake mentioned seeing the Stele fall over seconds before the quake began. Once it was over he had wandered back to where it lay surprised to see that it was once again standing.
