Abstract
In this paper, we prove two supercongruences conjectured by Z.-W. Sun via the Wilf-Zeilberger method. One of them is, for any prime , \begin{align*} \sum_{n=0}^{(p-1)/2}\frac{6n+1}{(-512)^n}\binom{2n}n^3&\equiv p\left(\frac{-2}p\right)+\frac{p^3}4\left(\frac2p\right)E_{p-3}\pmod{p^4}, \end{align*} where stands for the Legendre symbol, and is the -th Euler number.
