Chapter 1248: The location of the Golden City

"Professor Douglas, where is the Golden City in Central and South America, and where is that huge flat-topped pyramid full of golden light? What is the famous pyramid? I would love to know the answers to these questions?"

Ye Tian asked with a chuckle, his tone quite excited.

The next moment, Professor Douglas gave the answers to these questions.

"Based on our research on the Mayan hieroglyphs and engravings on the head of the six-pointed golden scepter, combined with previous research results on the Mayan civilization and related legends.

It is now almost certain that the Golden City of the Mayan Empire, which has been practiced in Central and South America for hundreds or thousands of years, is located in the northwest of present-day Honduras, not far from the border with Guatemala.

At present, we can only determine such a general area, and we cannot accurately locate the location of the Golden City of the Mayan Empire, and the hieroglyphic representation on the head of the six-pointed star golden scepter is somewhat vague.

As for the golden flat-topped pyramid, it should be the flat-topped pyramid in the center of the ruins of the famous Mayan city in Honduras, the ancient Mayan ruins of Copán.

The ancient city of Copán Maya is located in the northwest of Honduras, about 225 kilometers from Tegucigalpa, the capital of Honduras, and not far from the border with Guatemala.

It is the oldest and largest ancient city site of the Mayan civilization, with pyramids, squares, temples, carvings, stelae and hieroglyphic stone steps, making it a very important archaeological area.

Those of us have been to the ruins of the Mayan city of Copan more than once, and have done a lot of research on the Mayan civilization there, so we can say that we are very familiar with the ruins of that huge ancient city.

But who would have thought that the ruins of the ancient Mayan city of Copán are closely related to the legendary golden city, and once this discovery is announced, it will definitely cause a huge sensation in the historiographical circles.

We have made a bold assumption that the flat-topped pyramid of the ancient city of Copán is likely to hide a great secret, and from that pyramid, the exact location of the Golden City may be discovered.

To prove this speculation correct, we have to do a field trip, and with what we know about you, Steven, you guys will definitely not miss this heavenly opportunity to discover the Golden City!

We've already discussed that if you're organizing an expedition to explore the Golden City in the ancient Mayan city of Copan, Honduras, we have to be part of it.

Participation is the same as when we explored the treasures of Lima, we have access to all the academic research related to the Golden City, and the legendary gold and gems belong to you.

Of course, if you are willing to be generous and give us some gold and precious stones, we will not refuse, after all, we are all ordinary people, and we all want to have a better life!"

After speaking, Professor Douglas stared at Ye Tian tightly, expecting his answer, his eyes were burning abnormally, as if Ye Tian was the golden city of the Mayan Empire!

Hearing Professor Douglas's words, Ye Tian's eyes immediately flashed with joy.

However, he soon fell silent, and his face gradually became more solemn.

He didn't cheer and be ecstatic as the others had expected, and he couldn't wait to start exploring the Golden City right away.

This obviously surprised Professor Douglas and them, and several experts and scholars couldn't help but be a little surprised and a little puzzled.

However, they didn't interrupt Ye Tian silently, but let him continue to ponder.

After a while, Ye Tianfang finished thinking, looked up at everyone at the scene, and said with a smile:

"I didn't expect that the huge flat-topped pyramid shining with golden light was actually the pyramid at the ruins of the ancient city of Copán in Honduras, although I have not been to the ruins of the ancient city of Copan, but I also know a little about it.

It is reasonable that the Golden City of the Mayan Empire appeared near the ruins of the ancient city of Copan, which was after all the center of the Mayan civilization and was once extremely prosperous, and it is also the strongest proof that the Mayan civilization once existed.

Professor Douglas, and a few other gentlemen, rest assured, if I were to organize an expedition to explore the ruins of the Mayan city of Copán, I would not forget you.

The determination of the location of the Golden City depends entirely on the academic research results you have made, otherwise, the Golden City of the Mayan Empire is still just a legend, still ethereal, and unattainable!

As you wish, in the future expeditions, you historians and textual experts can participate in it, and you will be able to explore the secrets of the Golden City and enjoy all the results of academic research.

The gold, silver, treasures, and antique artworks from the Golden City of the Mayan Empire are owned by me and my Discovery Company, and I can give each of you a handsome reward and fund academic research!"

Before the words fell, there was already an excited cheer in the conference room.

"Great!Steven, this is what we want most, I didn't expect you to be so generous as a greedy fellow, it's so rare!"

"When will the exploration of the Golden City begin?" Steven, we can't wait, we can't wait to rush to the ancient city of Copan and explore the Golden City deep in the rainforest, it must be very exciting!"

In the cheers, Ye Tian stretched out his hands and pressed down, signaling everyone to be quiet.

Seeing his action, those experts and scholars who were cheering and happy immediately stopped their voices, and the scene immediately fell silent.

Immediately after, Ye Tian chuckled and said:

"Rest easy, gentlemen, the exploration of the Golden City will certainly not begin anytime soon, and you will have to wait patiently for a while, and I will let you know when it starts.

To be honest, I very much don't want the Golden City of the Mayan Empire to appear in the country of Honduras, near the ruins of the ancient Mayan city of Copan, which is one of the last things I want to see.

Even if the Golden City appears in Mexico, in the Yucatan Peninsula, or in Costa Rica, and other Central and South American countries, it is a hundred times stronger than in Copán, Honduras.

The reason why I feel this way is because of the weather, as we all know, Central and South America has entered the rainy season, and Honduras is no exception, where it is raining heavily!

Heavy rains are secondary, but even more terrifying, are the hurricanes that rage wildly, whether from the Pacific Ocean or from the Caribbean, which never seem to spare the country of Honduras.

Obviously, with the rainy season and hurricane season combined, it is not wise to go to Honduras to explore the Golden City now, and if you want to go to Honduras to explore the Golden City, you will have to wait until next year's dry season!"
