At 23 o'clock in the evening, Zhang Churan and Luo Tian and others were eating, drinking, and chatting about one before returning to the room, and what made Zhang Churan speechless was that as soon as he went back, he saw Zhang Siyi and Di Lieba wake up, and then stared at the door with big eyes.

After seeing Zhang Chu, the two little guys complained together: "Why did you come back?"

After speaking, he snatched the food from Zhang Churan's hand, it turned out that these two guys were woken up by hunger...!

....................

"Dude... Where are we going tomorrow?"

At night... Maybe it was because they slept a little, so the two little guys were not sleepy at all, and Zhang Siyi asked Zhang Churan when they slept on the bed!

"Hmm... Take a taxi to the bus stop and then take the bus to Nazca. Zhang Churan said weakly, because now Zhang Churan is sleepy.

"Nazca, what's that place?" the voice was Dilireba's!

"Nazca is located in the southeastern part of the province of Ica in Peru (coordinates: 14 41' S, 75 07'). It was originally 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".

The origin and purpose of the Nazca paintings is a difficult mystery to solve. At present, some scientists believe that the giant painting is the astronomical calendar of the Paleo-Indians, who determined the seasons and hours according to the sinking of sunlight on that line, while other scholars deduce that the giant painting is related to the great religious rituals held by the Indians at that time, and still others believe that it may be the road signs or irrigation systems of the Paleo-Indians. ”

With his eyes closed, Zhang Churan used his amazing memory to memorize what he had read about Nazca in the morning.

"Oh... Giant paintings, could it be the work of aliens?"

"Are we going to fly tomorrow?"

.....................

There was no way to answer the two little guys, because Zhang Churan was already asleep.

After hearing Zhang Churan's snoring, the two little guys did not continue to bother Zhang Churan, but chatted with each other until they fell asleep.

And just when the three of them slowly fell asleep, something happened that the three of them didn't expect, Luo Tian walked out of the hotel with his luggage, followed behind Luo Tian, and the other members of the production team also took out their luggage and walked out of the hotel.

This is another bad idea of Luo Tian, they want to escape to Nazca overnight, and then see what to do with Zhang Churan and the three of them who have no production team, during which they secretly left two cameras and instructions for Zhang Churan and the three of them, and left quietly.

The next morning, Zhang Churan was the first to wake up, saw the bag with the camera in the corner of the wall, opened it, and saw that there was a note from Luo Scorpion, saying that he had left, hoping that they could shoot themselves and then come to Nazca.

One is speechless, what kind of variety show production team is this, Zhang Churan was completely speechless, and immediately woke up the two little guys and told the two of them that their production team had run away, and the three of them were going to record themselves.

"Don't look at the jokes. Zhang Siyi, who hadn't woken up yet, didn't believe it at all, but after reading Luo Tian's note, the little guy shouted in surprise: "Oh my God, what the hell is this production team." ”

"What should we do, Brother Chu Ran. Di Lieba was surprised when he heard that the production team had run away.

It's just that Zhang Churan smiled and said: "What can I do, then we'll shoot it ourselves, okay... I got up, washed up, followed me to eat, and when I was done, I went to the bus stop, and then to Nazca, it was better without the staff, and that was really our tour. “

Zhang Churan doesn't care, anyway, he has money, he knows the road, and he has a production team.

Seeing Zhang Churan's confident appearance, the little ones also had a backbone, from the anxiety just now, they gradually showed a smile, washed and went to the toilet in order, and then came down to eat breakfast and check out, everything was in order.

It's just that what the three of them don't know is that in fact, the production team has left, but there are still people in the small team, and they are using 20 times the camera to monitor Zhang Churan and others, and they keep using their mobile phones to contact each other, which is very interesting.

From Huacachina to Nazca, it takes 4 hours, and when Zhang Churan and others arrived in Nazca, a funny thing happened, because of Nazca, Zhang Siyi was clamoring to see the Nazca Lines, you know, there are many people here in the tourist place, and when they heard the Nazca Lines, naturally someone came up.

At this time, everything of Zhang Churan and the others was still under the monitoring and observation of the production team, and seeing that the three of them were surrounded by people soliciting business around them, the production team also let out a knowing smile.

Then under Zhang Churan's decision, the three of them got into a car, and the production team followed behind the car, but to the disbelief of all the people in the production team, when they followed Zhang Churan and the three of them to the place where they stayed, the place where they stayed was actually the production team's lair, except for the production team that was tracking, the other staff were all in this hotel.

"It's over... It's over, and they go in. ”

"What should I do, let me know first. ”

"Time is running out. ”

"They went in. ”

.............................

Just when the chat room opened by the production team was in chaos, a writer ran out of the hotel, and then Luo Tian said speechlessly: "It's over... What is this called, why did we run away in the early hours of the morning last night? ”

"Haha... This is Zhang Churan, Zhang Siyi and Di Li Reba's voices, the three of them are dying of laughter now, they really didn't expect to meet the production team who ran away here, so the three of them are dying of laughter.

In such happy laughter, Zhang Churan and the three of them boarded a small plane to visit the Nazca Lines.

"Oh my God... "Sitting on the plane, look out over the plains in the canyon, which are filled with geometric shapes of triangles, rectangles, parallelograms, diamonds, and spirals made up of "ditches" of varying widths. They form the outlines of lizards, spiders, squids, clawed dogs, eagles, seagulls, peacocks, and cacti. Each pattern is hundreds of square meters in size. And the largest one covers an area of 5 square kilometers. For example, a Roc can spread its wings 50 meters long, while a bird has a body that is 300 meters long. Not only are the patterns layered, but they are also moderately spaced, and some of the same patterns seem to be printed in a mold, with astonishing accuracy.

"How the hell is this done. Zhang Siyi was horrified.

Di Lieba also opened her little mouth excitedly. But they don't know that when the sun rises in the east, when you climb to the top of Mount Nazca, a beautiful and strange picture will appear in front of you. But when the sun rises, the paintings disappear. It can be seen that the artists of the ancient Incas also used the principle of optics to make precise calculations for the layout design of the giant paintings, which makes it so mysterious. For this reason, the Nazca Valley is known as the "Eighth Wonder of the World".

The origin and purpose of the Nazca paintings is a difficult mystery to solve. At present, some scientists believe that the giant painting is the astronomical calendar of the Paleo-Indians, who determined the seasons and hours according to the sinking of sunlight on that line, while other scholars deduce that the giant painting is related to the great religious rituals held by the Indians at that time, and still others believe that it may be the road signs or irrigation systems of the Paleo-Indians.

Perhaps, we have overlooked the simplest hypothesis: it is quite possible that the ancient Nazca people artificially built a magnificent platform on the ground to oversee the creation of the giant Nazca lines!

Not far from Nazca, there are some pyramids, they are the masterpieces of the Maya, so did the ancient Nazca people also build pyramidal conning towers to oversee the making of huge lines, and as time passed, the conning towers on the Nazca plateau gradually disappeared, and finally, only those enigmatic lines remained?

But it is not only unimaginable to build such a high observation tower, but more importantly, where will the materials for its construction come from? 2,000 years ago, the Nazca region was dry and rainless, and it was impossible for dense trees to grow, and the high platform could not be made of wood, and if it was soil, then the surface of the land here was mainly gravel, with only a small amount of sand, and there was not enough soil to build such a high platform.

There is no mystery, and this mystery is not something that Zhang Churan and the three of them can find, so it's okay to be amazed now!

........................................

Getting off the small plane, Zhang Siyi looked at Zhang Churan and Di Lieba beside him and said, "Wow... It's really amazing, how the hell did this come about, could there have been aviation equipment in ancient times, otherwise how would these paintings have been done? ”

"Didn't the aliens do it?" asked Di Lieba with her eyes wide open, confused.

"Hmm... In the 80s of the last century, the students of Nazca Town, led by Raischer, showed people how the ancients made a Nazca line: first a straight line was marked with a pole and rope, and then, the black stone on the surface was removed, leaking out the glittering white sand below, contrasting with the surrounding iron-rich rocks, and a line appeared. Perhaps, this is the nature of the Nazca Lines.

Although Reiché's experiments vividly tested her hypothesis, there was one thing that her experiments could not explain, and that was that in the Nazca region there were not only a large number of straight lines, but also a pattern of many arcs, such as the monkey that was more than 100 meters long.

Today, the Nazca Lines attract more and more tourists, and to see the full view of the lines, you have to take a light plane that is provided locally. Among the many tourists, there are many explorers who have a keen interest in the unknown. Woodman is such a person. He is not only the president of Florida Airlines, but also a member of the International Exploration Society.

When he flew over Nazca, a light suddenly appeared in his mind, did the ancient Nazca people fly a flying machine to supervise the production of lines?

More evidence convinced Woodman of his conclusion: the Incas descended from the Nazca people in the mountains of Peru still have legends of flying objects, and that many fragments of Nazca pottery and fabrics are adorned with flying motifs, including balloon kites and bird-like flying people.

Excited, Woodman began to use an experimental archaeological method to prove his bold hypothesis. He decided to build a hot air balloon modeled after the ancient Nazca people and named it "Vulture I", a giant bird flying high in the Andes. To be convincing, Woodman knew that the materials used to make the Vulture I had to be as close as possible to those used by the ancient Nazca people, and that the balloons were in the same style as the flying patterns on Nazca pottery.

In November 1976, the 26-metre-high Vulture 1 was finally completed. A stove was built on the ground to produce enough hot air to pour into the balloon. A few days later, at 5:30 a.m., Woodman and a champion hot air balloon flight took to the skies in it, and in just a few seconds, they quickly climbed 122 meters in the desert.

There was a cheer on the ground, the experiment was successful, and the ancient Nazca people could indeed fly into the air in a hot air balloon, but what happened next was frustrating, because the balloon only stayed in the air for three minutes, which was obviously not enough for the construction of the massive Nazca lines.

So I think it must have been the ancients who used a method that we don't know yet, to keep the balloon in the sky, but now we haven't found that method, or maybe what that method needs has disappeared in time. ”

"Wow... It's so profound, I don't understand, but it's really interesting here, next time we'll bring Mom and Dad and Coco, and then I think Coco will be happy to death. ”

"Hmm.... Zhang Churan nodded with a smile.

................................

After watching the Nazca Lines, it was already more than 16 o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Churan took Zhang Siyi and Di Lieba to the hotel to meet the staff, because time is running out now, they can't stay in Nazca tonight, and they have to take a bus to Cusco overnight.

Cusco, a province in southern Peru. Originally the center of the ancient Inca Empire, many Inca cultural sites, if you want to reach the final stop, Machu Picchu, you must first reach Cusco, and the only way to get to Cusco is by 16-hour bus.

It was a very hard journey, because it had to climb over the Andes Mountains, and it was a winding mountain road at an altitude of 3,400 meters all night, and because it was 3,400 meters above sea level, Sisi had altitude sickness.

Altitude sickness (also known as altitude sickness, mountain sickness, strictly speaking, a subtype of altitude sickness. It is a common disease unique to the plateau area after the human body rapidly enters the plateau above 3,000 meters above sea level and is exposed to the low-pressure and low-oxygen environment. Common symptoms include headache, insomnia, loss of appetite, tiredness, difficulty breathing, etc. Headache is the most common symptom and is often a throbbing pain in the forehead and both temporal regions, which worsens at night or in the morning when you wake up.

The younger the person, the more likely they are to have altitude sickness. Generally speaking, when plain people quickly enter the plateau above 3000m above sea level, 50%~75% of people have altitude sickness, but the symptoms gradually disappear after 3~10 days of habit.

When Zhang Siyi had altitude sickness, the team doctor quickly appeared and fed Zhang Siyi medicine, but the discomfort was still there, and Sisi was lying in Zhang Churan's arms all night.

After a night, at dawn the next day, Zhang Siyi finally got better, to be honest, Zhang Churan was scared to death all the way, he was very worried about Zhang Siyi's health, but fortunately, Zhang Siyi, who took medicine in the morning, was a little more energetic.

"How is it, do you feel better?" Di Lieba stretched out his little head from the front, looked at Zhang Siyi and asked with some concern.

"Hmm... It's a little better, but it's still a little uncomfortable, it's really strange, I'm so healthy, how can I have altitude sickness?"

"Hehe, compared with the elderly, young people have much faster metabolism and energy consumption, the greater the body's oxygen consumption, and the stronger the altitude sickness. If you have altitude sickness, it means that you are young and in good health. ”

Zhang Churan's words made Zhang Siyi slightly comforted: "So that's the case." ”

Until 13 o'clock in the afternoon, finally, Zhang Churan and the three came to the capital of the Inca Empire, where there are basically two kinds of buildings, because the Spaniards did not completely destroy the temples and walls of the Incas, but built their own churches and monasteries on the basis of them, so in Cusco you can often see that there are two styles and two civilizations in a building, and they are blended. For example, the famous church of Santo Domingo was built on the basis of the Temple of the Sun of the Inca. There is also the Cathedral of Cusco in the Plaza de Armas, which is world-famous for its collection of the Last Supper. This is not Leonardo da Vinci's original painting, Marcos Zapata's imitation is very creative, and the table in front of Jesus and his disciples is actually an Inca delicacy - guinea pigs, so the architecture of Cusco has traces of the Inca Empire and Spanish style.

The city of Cusco has been destroyed and rebuilt many times, but fortunately, despite the storms, there are still a large number of valuable ruins in the city. In 1790, the entire city of Cusco was occupied. Since then, Lima, which has been closely linked to the mines of Potosí, has enjoyed the prosperity of economic development, while Cusco has declined with the rise of Lima.

In Cusco, the streets, palaces, temples and houses of the Inca era are still well preserved, and in the center of the city is the Plaza de Armas, where a full-length statue of Tupac Amaru II, a Peruvian national hero and pioneer of the Latin American national liberation movement, stands in the middle of the city, surrounded by Spanish-style arcades and four Catholic churches.

To the northeast of the square are the Temple of the Sun, the Temple of the Moon, and the Temple of the Stars, built on top of a towering pyramid. The remains of the walls of the Temple of the Serpent and the Sun Goddess Mansion facing each other on the left and right are located in the southeast of the square. The Celebration Square to welcome the triumphant return of the Imperial Army is located southwest of the Plaza de Armas, and the locals call it "Kusipata". The archaeological museum, which displays pottery, textiles, gold and silver vessels and carved fragments from the Inca Empire, is located near these two squares.
