According to ancient knowledge, the molten iron swirling deep inside the first pottery made attracted tiny magnetic mineral details embedded in the clay. When the containers are heated and cooled, these minerals turn into a compass. In those years, they recorded the Earth's magnetic field. They are like the source of the pristine state of the Earth's magnetic field.
