Chapter 344: An Awkward Meeting
"Hey... I'll go wash up first, and then you guys will hurry up for me, and then we'll go down to breakfast together, and then we'll take a taxi to the bus station, and then to Nazca. Lee Zhengyan put on his pants and said to Lee Jung-eun and the hot minibus sisters who were still lying.
"Got it... Brother, you'd better hurry up and wash up, I'll be up soon. Lee Jung-eun smiled.
When Li Zhengyan was washing, Li Zhengen and the hot minibus sisters also got up from their respective beds, and then listened to the hot minibus standing outside while dressing, and asked Li Zhengyan who was still washing: "Brother Zhengyan... What's so fun in Nazca. ”
This made our Li Zhengyan bitter, and he had to answer the question while washing: "Ah... Nazca is a small town located in the southeastern part of the province of Ica in Peru. Originally, it was a little-known town, but by the middle of the 20th century it was bustling with activity. Because a large number of ancient tombs have been excavated here, and many funerary goods such as painted pottery and textiles inside, they have attracted the attention of historians and archaeologists at home and abroad. More significant, however, was when archaeologists flew over the "Seros" steppe and suddenly discovered a number of huge patterns, known as the "Nazca Valley Paintings". ”
"Oh...", the Nazca Valley Giant Painting, "What's that?" asked Lee Jung-un this time.
Li Zhengyan, who had just finished washing his hair, walked out of the bathroom at this time and said speechlessly: "There is an introduction book over there, you can read it yourself." ”
However, Lee Jung-eun walked to the bathroom and said, "How can we have time, brother, just say it, anyway, your memory is so good, just tell us to listen, save us and go to read." ”
After Li Zhengen finished speaking, the hot minibus also immediately nodded his head, but he didn't expect the hot minibus to be such a person who was afraid of trouble, no way, Li Zhengyan could only slowly dry his hair and said: "The Nazca Valley giant painting, also known as the Nazca Lines, is a giant ground painting, with a vast and wide straight line, which looks like an airport runway, and depicts mostly animals and plants. In the Nazca Wilderness, in the western part of South America, in the south of Peru, there is a mystery that has existed for 2,000 years: who created them and for what is still unsolved, so it is included in the top ten mysteries.
A line of kilometers long forms a variety of vivid patterns, carved into the earth, with hundreds of individual simple lines, in a complex arrangement of geometric figures, fish, spirals, algae, vultures, spiders, flowers, iguanas, herons, hands, trees, hummingbirds, monkeys, lizards and humanoids. ”
"Wow... Oh, it's really fake, it's so powerful, it can't be an alien, man, how did these lines get discovered?" At this time, Lee Jung-eun, who was brushing his teeth, showed his interest in the Nazca lines, and stuck his head out of the bathroom with a mouthful of foam.
"Ahh The discovery process began in 1939 when Dr. Paul flew along an ancient water diversion system on the Nazca Plains, and made an occasional discovery that shocked the world with a single bow.
After the announcement of the discovery of the hidden giant pattern of the "Nazca Lines", experts from all over the world went to study it.
Because the pattern is very huge, you can only see the whole picture of the pattern at a height of more than 300 meters, so the average person can only see the irregular pits at the horizontal angle of the ground, and it is impossible to know these irregular lines, which are actually huge patterns.
According to the researchers' findings, these patterns are scraped off the surface of the brown rock layers on the ground to reveal the light-colored rock layers below, and the average width of each tunnel is about 10 to 20 centimeters, with the longest of them reaching about 10 meters. Therefore, the pattern composed of these lines of different lengths has different areas, for example, one animal is 200 meters long.
This makes the patterns even more confusing: a 46-metre-long slender-waisted spider, a hummingbird about 300 metres long, a 108-metre capuchin monkey, a 188-metre lizard, a 122-metre vulture, and a giant candlestick looking down on the earth.
To date, archaeologists have found thousands of such lines, some of which stretch for 8 kilometers, as well as dozens of figures, including 18 birds. Of these animal motifs, only the vulture is a local animal, while other animals such as Amazon spiders, monkeys, and whales seem to be incompatible with the barren desert. Some of the motifs are depicted in great detail, such as the reproductive organs at the end of the right foot in the spider motif.
"Wow... Brother Zhengyan, what do these Nazca lines do, how are they formed, and they can't be alien masterpieces like Jeong-eun said?"
After thinking for a while, Li Zhengyan waved his hand and said: "This is really unknown, about the Nazca lines, a German scholar Maria Reinche put forward the theory of planetary motion after more than 30 years of painstaking research. She explained that these straight lines and spirals represent the movement of the planets, while those animal figures represent the constellations.
There is also a conjecture that the map, which the archaeologist Josie Lanchio explained all this as a map, because the ancients did not have paper to record information, they had to record the water source markers through the earth, and the ratio was one to one. Some of the passages to important places are marked, such as underground water canals, etc. This is better explained by the variety of animal motifs painted on the ground, just as there is much less debate about the time when these motifs were formed in the names of the surrounding areas in modern times.
So there are many conjectures, but the most famous, but far-fetched, is Eric von Dendicken's explanation in his book "God's Chariots": these are entrance markers for aliens to visit. Another equally whimsical theory is that in ancient times, people here left such remnants on hot air balloons. This is based on the fact that the patterns are only visible from the air, and that many of the patterns appear to be traces of burning objects that were used to fly the balloon off the ground. However, Jorcia von Bruning claims that this is a trail left by the race.
Anyway, it's a lot of strange conjectures, and as for what the real reason is, I don't know, because it's one of the world's top ten unsolvable mysteries. ”
"Okay... After listening to Brother Zhengyan, I think this time we must go and see the Nazca Lines. The hot minibus walked into the bathroom with a smile.
Li Zhengen, who came out, said with a smile: "Yes, I can't solve this unsolvable mystery." ”
Looking at the two of them who were full of interest, Li Zhengyan was speechless, you better put on your underwear first, what do you look like when you dangle around!
