Why did China ban climbing Mount Kailash in 2001?

What did Ernest Muldashev claim about Mount Kailash?
Muldashev’s 1999 expedition concluded—based on interactions with Tibetan lamas and local investigation—that Kailash could be a massive man-made pyramid surrounded by smaller pyramids, and his team reported hearing sounds from inside the mountain.
What evidence is cited for the 'time anomaly' around Kailash?
Visitors reported unusually fast hair and nail growth (days vs. weeks) and anecdotal accounts of climbers appearing to age rapidly or dying within a short time after ascending certain points; the video treats these as reported phenomena rather than confirmed scientific facts.
Why are Manasarovar and Rakshas Tal so different despite sitting side-by-side?
The video explains the contrast scientifically: Manasarovar is freshwater because it’s fed by glacial melt and has an outlet, while Rakshas Tal is saline due to having no outlet so salts concentrate through evaporation; mythic stories (e.g., Ravana) also explain their natures culturally.
