Chapter 731: The Imposing Palace
……
Through the long bridge, across the obsidian steps, after coming to the platform, what appeared in front of Liu Dong was a magnificent square paved with obsidian, the square was the size of two football fields, in the center of the square is a 15-meter-high, with four hands, wings behind the huge statue of nearly 10 meters, the outermost two hands of the statue dragged a snake and an eagle respectively, the two hands in the middle, holding a shield on the left and a spear in the right!
The statue of the god is very well preserved, but the vicissitudes of time have left deep traces on him.
Looking at this statue with obvious Indian characteristics, Liu Dong didn't know which god he was worshipped by that nation, but the material that constructed him was indeed silver, and such a large piece of silver probably weighed seven or eight tons!
Passing past the huge statue, the square is surrounded by a tall palace-like building in the shape of a 'U', which is somewhat similar to the ancient Greek colonnaded temple, but the reliefs on it are somewhat different from the architectural form!
These complex palace complexes occupy about one-sixth of the entire platform, and although it is only one-sixth, it is also 67,000 square meters! It is about 1.5 times the size of the Louvre Museum in France, and apart from the furnishings, the grandeur of the building is not bad at all!
Look at the tall statue of the god made of silver. Liu Dong, with a look of amazement on his face, walked through the square. Climb an obsidian staircase that is about 5 meters high. After stepping into the main building complex in the center, Liu Dong's eyes flashed with golden light.
I saw that in this huge space supported by four obsidian pillars that are thick and thick for two people, about 50 meters wide, about 120 meters long, and more than 15 meters high. The first thing that catches your eye is a magnificent gold relief mural just 100 meters away!
The mural is more than 30 meters wide and about 8 meters high, and depicts a king wearing an ornate robe, wearing a feather on his head and holding a scepter, standing on a pyramid to receive the worship of all the peoples.
Underneath this giant gold relief is a golden throne, about the size of the emperor's throne in the Forbidden City, made of gold and inlaid with various gemstones, especially the top of the chair behind the throne. It is inlaid with a bowl-sized yellow fluorite, giving off a soft yellow glow. It is believed that the person sitting on it must give a sense of sacredness when bathed in the light.
In addition, in addition to fluorite, the golden chair is also carved with elaborate reliefs, but not dragons, but vivid feathered snakes!
Under the golden throne are three steps in a semicircle, clinging to the wall, like an altar, about two meters above the obsidian floor of the main hall, and are also depicted in exquisite reliefs, and inlaid with gold and silver, as well as very precious emeralds and various precious stones.
Underneath this throne were a number of long obsidian tables arranged at equal distances, with fine gold and silver cutlery and flasks, as if a grand banquet was being held, only most of it was now obscured by dust.
There are about 120 obsidian long tables like this in the entire hall, but they are a little too tall compared to the traditional Chinese long tables, which are more than one and a half meters high.
However, the stone chairs behind these tables are tall enough.
In addition to these, there are also two huge reliefs on the obsidian walls on both sides of the main hall, and the one on the left side is somewhat familiar to Liu Dong!
On June 5, 1952, a stone tablet carved with figures and patterns was unearthed in the ruins of a temple in the ancient Mayan city of Palenque in the Mexican highlands. At the time, it was only thought of as a carving of an ancient Mayan mythology.
It was only in the sixties that people flew into space on a spaceship that those American scientists involved in astronautical research suddenly realized: the carved Palenque slate turned out to be a picture of an astronaut piloting a spacecraft!
Although the patterned deformation, the spacecraft's air intakes, exhaust pipes, joysticks, foot pedals, rudders, antennas, hoses, and various instruments are still clearly visible. When the picture was sent to the U.S. Space Center, astronauts were amazed and agreed that it was an ancient spacecraft.
And now the relief that Liu Dong sees is an enlarged version of the 'carving on the Palenque slate', and it is more detailed, and the content of the table is also more!
"It's an alien civilization again!"
Liu Dong shook his head, although the existence of this relief showed that the earth may have been visited by an alien civilization, but Liu Dong had never seen it in person, and he didn't know it.
Therefore, after putting down his thoughts, he looked at the stone sculpture on the right, this stone sculpture is a constellation map, on which the various planets are listed! Although Liu Dong does not study astronomy, he can see from this stone sculpture that the above astrological map is by no means only the solar system, but also contains a wider range of contents.
Moreover, there may be information about the astronomical calendar of this civilization on this relief, but it is a pity that Liu Dong can't understand the hieroglyphs on it at all.
Compared with the gorgeous reliefs on the wall, the top decoration of this hall is not bad at all, completely using the means of relief carving on the solid obsidian carved out the scene of this civilized life, there are huge gods on it, there are also ordinary people receiving the blessing of the gods, close to 6000 square meters of the top of the large and small figures are close to thousands, and with red, The green and yellow pigments decorate these reliefs with very bright tones, making them more vivid and giving Liu Dong, the first outsider, a great shock.
At this moment, he had the feeling of being in the Sistine Chapel to admire Michelangelo's Genesis frescoes!
The same majestic, the same sacred, the same incredible!
Standing in this huge and splendid palace supported by four stone pillars with a diameter of one meter, Liu Dong seems to have traveled through time and space to see the scene of this heyday of civilization, where rulers and nobles were discussing the heavy policies that determined the direction of the race.
It's a pity that now there is no zài anymore!
After taking a last look at the hall buried by dust, Liu Dong left from the back door of the hall, out of the back door is 3 meters wide, about 3.5 meters high, like the obsidian corridor in the Chinese garden, outside the corridor is a small obsidian paved square, there are water and mountains in the square, just like a small garden in the Chinese tradition, but it has lost its past scenery when no one takes care of it.
Walking back along the winding corridor, passing through the beautiful but now dilapidated obsidian houses, and finally passing through a 5-meter-high courtyard wall, a huge square appears in front of you again!
"I said why can't I see an adult when I came in front, it turns out that they are all gathered here!"
Looking at the thick crowd gathered in the square of about 20,000 square meters, Liu Dong took a cursory glance at at least no less than 3,000! Of course, compared to the area of the entire square, this point of standing on it is nothing at all.
"Seeing them gathered here en masse, it's obvious that they are preparing to hold some important ceremony!"
And on one side of the square, there are more than two dozen unlucky ghosts with their hands tied and their mouths gagged, including blacks, whites, and Latinos, who are obviously also sacrifices captured by these natives.
Seeing that the natives who brought back Ivanka walked to the center of the square and found a tall and strong Indian wearing feathers on his head and a fist-sized crystal skull hanging around his neck, as well as various gold decorations and various intricate tattoos, Liu Dong took out his steel giant bow from the mustard seed space, if these natives planned to kill Ivanka immediately, Liu Dong would have to risk the encirclement and suppression of the three thousand natives and give her down!
Although Liu Dongyi is bold, when he thinks of his pair of three thousand, his scalp is also a little numb!
However, the next scene made Liu Dong breathe a sigh of relief.
Seeing that the crystal skeleton with a crystal on his neck, his expression was angry, and he taught a lesson to the hundreds of indigenous teams that had fought against Liu Dong.
Obviously, his loss of troops would make the native leader very unhappy.
However, the status of this native, which is equivalent to a general, is not low, so after being reprimanded by the leader, he retreated.
The angry leader, with a wave of his right hand, came out of the two fighters next to him, bringing Ivanka, who was constantly struggling, to the side.
Seeing this, Liu Dong breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and also loosened the giant bow in his hand.
As long as Ivanka is safe, then he doesn't have to use the most drastic means to save him.
After thinking about this, Liu Dong retreated back to the courtyard wall of the palace complex, hid his figure, and looked at the surrounding buildings with the relic yuanguang.
In addition to the palace located to the south, which is where he is located, there are 28 obsidian sword-wielding warriors standing at the edge of the palace and the square, and the images of these warriors are somewhat similar to the stone statues of the samurai on both sides of the bluestone avenue after Liu Dong just entered the underground space, but they are stronger in height and exquisiteness.
After passing these samurai, stretch forward 70 meters to find the crowd!
Beyond these natives, and then 40 meters to the north, there are two rows of tiger-headed samurai statues with a height of about 4 meters, and behind these samurai statues is a huge pyramid with a height of more than 80 meters and a base length of about 230 meters!
The temple at the top of the tower is still intact, and the deity enshrined actually has two heads and four arms, the statue of the god reaches a height of 6 meters, and the whole body is made of pure gold zuò, and the arms and chest, as well as the waist are inlaid with precious stones.
And what made Liu Dong greedy was that there were a lot of gold and silver utensils piled up in this huge pyramid, as well as small statues and ornaments made of jade, which were obviously sacrifices to the gods!
