The speed of the flying saucer is just fast, and it didn't take long for us to arrive at Chichen Itza, the ruins of an ancient Mayan city located in the east-central part of the modern Mexican state of Yucatan. It is 3 kilometers long from north to south and 2 kilometers wide from east to west, with hundreds of buildings, and is the site of ancient Mayan culture and Toltec culture. After we got off the flying saucer, we were completely stunned by the scenery in front of us, a vast green rainforest in the huge magnificent gray-white buildings, it is located in the territory of Chiapa, Mexico between the mountains of a deep and shallow green slope, reflecting the Maya people when the city was built and settled more than the characteristics of the Canglin Mountains, in such a dense jungle, weeds from the place there is such a majestic and spectacular building complex, it is really unexpected, too eye-opening for us.

Dumbo explains, like an authentic narrator: "Chichen Itza, located on the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico, is the most famous city-state site of the ancient Mayan kingdom, which was once the political and economic center of the ancient Mayan civilization. The main monuments on the site are the Pyramid of Kukulkan, the Temple of the Samurai, the Temple of the Jaguar and the Stadium. The combination of space and form of these buildings is a testament to the Mayan architectural prowess, and the Pyramid of Kukulkan is the most outstanding of the many Mayan temples, with the exception of this pyramid, which is the mausoleum of Bakar, the ruler of Palenque in the 7th century BC, the most famous of all the pyramids of the Americas. Therefore, Wang Dalong's predecessors said that this Mayan pyramid is inseparable from ten, which means a pyramid. ”

Xiao Fei's tour guide continued to say in style: "Everyone looked carefully, the pyramid in front of us is neatly shaped, square, dignified and atmospheric, its design has astronomical significance, the base is square, the stairs face due north, south, east and west, there are 91 steps around each side, the number of steps and stepped platforms represent the number of days and months of the year respectively, and the 52 stone slabs with carved patterns symbolize the 52 years in the Mayan calendar as a reincarnation year. Cuculcán is a Mayan word meaning Quetzalcoatl Wind God, a god worshipped by the ancient Indians of Mexico who was in charge of rain and harvest. It resembles a Chinese dragon. Many researchers believe that the ancestors of the Indians may have come from our Great Song Dynasty, and that the civilizations of the two countries may have some kind of connection. In 1988, UNESCO inscribed it on the World Heritage List as a cultural heritage. In 2007, it was selected along with the Great Wall of the Great Song Dynasty, the Taj Mahal in India, the Colosseum in Rome, Machu Picchu, Petra in Jordan, and the Christ statue in Brazil. Qiqin means wellhead, and the cenote is the foundation for the construction of the city. On the south side, the old Chichen Itza was built in the 7th to 10th centuries AD, with Mayan cultural characteristics, with pyramid temples, pillar halls, stadiums, markets and astronomical observatory, mainly decorated with stone carvings; ”

In Xiaofei's detailed explanation: "Among the buildings of Palenque, the most striking is the temple of inscriptions built on pyramids. The pyramid is square, a total of ten layers, up and down layer by layer, the lowest level has nine steps, the rest has seven steps, a total of seventy-two levels. The temple of inscriptions was built on the top platform of the pyramid. The flat top, there are five doors, there are murals and reliefs in the corridor, and the four walls of the temple are carved inscriptions. Unfortunately, by the beginning of the 21st century, these Mayan hieroglyphs had not been deciphered, and no one knows the true meaning of these inscriptions. Buildings here are almost always flat-roofed or platformed. The steps of the pyramid symbolize the staircase to the universe, which is typical of Mayan architecture. The pyramids of Mexico are similar in shape to those of Egypt, but they are different, and the vast majority of the Mexican pyramids found today are altars for the gods of the ancient Indian tribes, rather than mausoleums. Palenque's pyramid, however, is an outlier. The Mayans were so powerful and ingenious that they built many magnificent halls, temples, mausoleums, and huge stone monuments out of these huge stones that were brought from nowhere. The Mayan buildings were not only imposing, but also magnificent. We can see the bright colors and beautiful patterns on the ruined walls. There are also some ancient war murals created around the 8th century A.D. in the Bonnampak site, and the characters in the paintings are in a variety of postures, each with their own moods, lifelike, and full of realistic expressiveness, which is one of the treasures of the world's famous mural art.

Xiao Fei was ecstatic and pointed to a gray stone slab and said, "Ziyue, what do you see it?" I finally realized after looking at it carefully, you come and take a look and see if you can guess it." "It was really unexpected, it turned out that the Palenque stone slab was carved with a picture of an astronaut piloting a spacecraft! Although it has been patterned and deformed, the air intake, exhaust pipes, joysticks, foot pedals, rudders, antennas, hoses and various instruments of the spacecraft are still clearly visible. Xiao Fei checked it for a while and continued to gush: "It is said that when the photo of this picture was sent to the US space center, astronauts were all amazed and unanimously believed that it was an ancient spacecraft. It's unbelievable, it's unbelievable. As a result, some scholars have put forward a bold hypothesis: in ancient times, there may have been a group of highly civilized extraterrestrial intelligent beings in the tropical jungles of the Americas, who taught the Mayans all kinds of advanced knowledge in the primitive era, and then drifted away. They were considered by the Mayans to be the gods. The incomprehensible sophistication of Mayan culture was taught by aliens. They say that the carvings on the Palenque slabs are Mayan copies of alien astronauts. When the aliens left, they promised the Mayans to return to Earth, but the Mayans did not return on the date predicted by the Mayan priests for the return of the gods. As a result, the Maya lost faith in their religion and priestly rule, which in turn caused the collapse of the entire national psyche, and finally caused them to leave their homeland and disperse, and the Mayan culture disappeared. One might accuse this idea of being too hypothetical. But even if this claim is denied, it still does not satisfactorily explain the mystical connotations of Mayan culture, its many incredible wonders, and the reasons for its sudden disappearance. ”

After Hu Jiaojiao looked at the pattern on the slate, she was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth, and said in surprise: "Everyone hurry up and come and see the murals here, you see, it's too terrifying, this Maya is not human at all, Xiao Feige is right, they are indeed real aliens, they look really weird, I don't know if I don't see it, I am startled when I see it," Duan Gongzi smiled slightly beside him, gentle and polite, and said: "Ancient Maya, there is a very peculiar custom, people squint their eyes, The flat forehead is seen as a sign of beauty or nobility, and artificial methods are used to achieve this. As soon as the baby is born, it is baptized, and after four or five days of cleanness, it is ready to begin a series of tribulations. The head of the little one is tied to the headboard, a special chuck-shaped wooden plank, one in front and one in the back, two boards to flatten the forehead of the newborn, one on the forehead and one on the back of the head. This headboard is held on the baby's head for a few days, and when it is removed, the child will remain flat for the rest of his life. This custom is very similar to the old Chinese custom of women binding their feet and men shaving their hair and keeping braids, and in the eyes of the Mayans, a flattened head and a lowered forehead were a sign of great beauty. All portraits of the Maya in profile, as we see in Mayan art, show that this practice must have been extremely common, and this means, of course, among the upper classes. Another, even more bizarre sign of nobility is the squint eye. Mothers deliberately tried to create this situation by hanging small toys, usually small balls of resin, from the child's drooping hair, Liu Hai'er, between the eyes. These resin balls dangle in front of their eyes, causing the little ones to stare at them involuntarily, which helps to make their eyes become esotropic. The Mayans did not spare the rest of their heads, their facial features, each with their own twists. The diaphragms between the ears, lips, and nostrils were pierced with ornaments made of gold, copper, jade, wood, shells, bones, and stones. When we first hear the holes in the diaphragm between our lips and nostrils, we can't help but be shocked and uncomfortable. However, as we are accustomed to wearing earrings and piercing ears, why do human beings abuse their own bodies in such a way? Other species in nature would never do such things that harm themselves, but human beings who have produced culture are the opposite. Well, this kind of physical aberration is not so simple. Every molecule of human beings has a head with a large capacity, which is the reason why people are embarrassed. On the one hand, in order to survive, it is necessary to form a group and identify with each other, and on the other hand, the awakening of self-consciousness makes people always want to distinguish themselves from others. This philosophy of both identity and distinction is about the true meaning of cultural wisdom! The upper strata of the Mayans showed their distinctiveness by changing their physical form, making a certain distinction within their own society, and highlighting a certain subculture within a culture. The ancient Hebrews were born with circumcision, but this kind of physical self-destruction was to distinguish their own society, their own culture, and their own race from other societies, cultures, and races, and to show a unique sense of superiority, that is, the so-called God's chosen people. Distinction defines nobility or beauty, and from this point of view, nobility and beauty are highly subjective from their origins. The original method was still to play the idea of natural capital, and to dispose of the flesh as an object, straightforwardly. So there are flat heads and squinted eyes, nose holes and chiseled teeth, tattoos or circumcisions...... Different cultures follow similar mental processes to create a variety of bizarre and bizarre cultural patterns. The so-called cultural progress is about the means used by human beings to distinguish more and more indirectly, the farther away from the natural capital, and turning to find ways to distinguish themselves from each other outside the heaven-given flesh, literature, art, religious beliefs, lifestyles, customs and rituals, and so on. The Maya made a big fuss about their heads and faces, probably because they were in the most prominent position of the flesh, and the cultural significance of distinguishing and identifying was the most convenient. There is a word for jewelry in China, which is very expressive. "White Tiger Tongyi" cloud: Make a crown with a head, don't be an adult. This means that hats were made to decorate the head and face in order to distinguish them from adults. Cheng Ding Ceremony, also known as the crown ceremony, adulthood means special rights and duties, and according to the customs of the early people's society, adult men belong to the same social subculture, and they have a set of rituals, abilities, and values that are kept secret by the group. The crown distinguishes them from women and minors, and allows them to identify with each other as the ruling force that shares rights and obligations. The ornaments on the Mayan's heads also played a similar cultural function. Whether it is a beautiful flat head, noble slanted eyes, or wearing gold and jade, they all clearly show their social status, which is not only different from other social identities, but also identifies with their own social identities. This kind of distinction and recognition undoubtedly plays a role in promoting the growth of ancient social civilization. From clothing to food, from the way of thinking to artistic interest, they always remember to follow the trend of fashion, and always strive to be innovative. In the fever again and again, the society and culture have become more and more colorful. Of course, this is not something I said myself, but I saw it in an ancient book. ”
