How high is the lost world's tallest tower "Yongning Temple Tower"? What is it made of?

According to legend, it was 1500 years ago in the Northern Wei Dynasty. There is the tallest tower in the world in Luoyang, from which you can see the whole city of Luoyang, especially the Forbidden City in the Northern Wei Dynasty. The tower of Babel frightened the rulers at that time and even ordered that anyone should not climb it. This is the Yongning Temple Tower at that time. So, how high is the tallest tower in the world?

There is such a description in Shui Jing Zhu. The tower bottom of Yongning Temple is 19 feet high, and the tower height is 30 feet, totaling 49 feet. Through calculation, it is equivalent to the height of 40 floors now. It was extremely difficult to build such a high-rise building before 1500 years ago, and the fate of each dynasty was very short in that era when the north and the south conquered each other and wars continued. Why did the rulers of the Northern Wei Dynasty build such a tall stupa?

In May14, in order to fulfill Emperor Xiaowen's last wish, Empress Hu Chonghua ordered the construction of Yongning Temple. In the process of construction, an official suddenly wrote a letter saying that thirteen golden statues had been found underground in Yongning Temple. This is a sign of the appearance of the Buddha, and it is peaceful and peaceful. Building pagodas here can make the country prosperous and the people safe, and can be passed down for thousands of years.

Therefore, the Queen Ling ordered the national financial resources to be poured to build the most luxurious royal first brake. 18 years later, a devastating skyfire caused the pagoda to collapse in flames, and the world's tallest tower disappeared from the world.
