«Breaking News» Two 'Indiana Jones wannabes' metal detectors uncover rare Buddha Chinese explorer 15th century

Two self-confessed 'Indiana Jones wannabes' have made a fascinating discovery while filming a documentary. 

Business partners Shayne Thomson and Leon Deschamps uncovered a bronze Buddha in Western Australia's north-west, dating back to China's 15th-century Ming Dynasty. 

The duo believe the discovery could have serious historical implications.

The discovery was made as the partners, who together run Finn Films, were retracing the steps of early French explorers in the Gascoyne region of Western Australia.  

Mr Thomson and Mr Dechamps are currently working with documentary filmmakers from France's Nicolas Baudin Institute to shoot a recreation of the French voyage to Australia in 1800-1804 during the Napoleonic era. 

'We did a LOT more digging in history books before we started digging in the dirt,' Mr Deschamps told Daily Mail Australia. 

The item was picked up by metal detectors and the documentary crew gradually unearthed the Buddha's bronzed buttocks. 

'The incredible find just demonstrates the richness of Western Australian history,' Mr Thomson said. 

The filmmakers immediately asked experts to assess the Buddha online, who dated the finding back to the Chinese Ming Dynasty of the 1400s.  

Mr Thomson said the big question now is to find out how the Buddha came to rest on Australian soil, and believes the item could be evidence to suggest Chinese fleets arrived in Australia earlier than previously thought.  

The Buddha could have been left behind by Chinese treasure ships in the fleet of admiral Zheng He, a Chinese explorer who made several epic voyages during the 15th century. 

'It's the history behind this object that is the real treasure,' said Mr Deschamps.

However Museum of Chinese Australian History deputy chairman Mark Wang told WA Today the Buddha could have only arrived in Australia within the last 150 years or so. 

'But even if it is authenticated as Ming, it might not necessarily have come here then,' Mr Wang said.

'A Ming Dynasty object could have also arrived in the last 150 or so years since the Chinese came to [that area], around the 1870s.

'And you can't say that because it's here, that a certain course of history took place.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
