Chapter 26: The Cave

Before, Fang Hong thought that the sun god in the sun and the vampire were square for a reason, and he was correct. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The ancient Mayan rituals were very complex, but the whole was reflected in the sacrifices, not in the interpersonal interactions.

The ancient Mayans believed that the sun was about to age and that they would die, so they invented many rituals to worship the sun.

Of course, who knows if it was because there was no food, and the deliberate reduction of the slave population? It's like the Crusades in the Middle Ages when Europeans couldn't afford to eat, and they couldn't feed themselves with too many mouths, so it would be nice to die.

Therefore, the Mayans were very easy-going in their interactions with outsiders, because they did not have such a set of etiquette for interacting with people.

It's like when they worship in the temple and you go to the temple and no one will stop you.

Fang Hong waved his hand to the three people from a long distance, and the three seemed to communicate for a while, and then they didn't know how to deal with it.

Fang Hong stepped forward and said hello in extremely simple Spanish.

One of them nodded and pointed to the live broadcaster.

Fang Hong spoke the Spanish of the camera, and the Mayan who knew Spanish seemed to be asking if he wanted to shoot, and Fang Hong didn't understand what he meant, so he just repeated the word shooting twice.

The pronunciation of yes in Spanish is west, Fang Hong asked twice, and the other party nodded and said west.

"They allowed me to shoot, but they didn't know if I would have to pay to go to their place of residence and pay if I needed to. "After all, it's a photograph of someone's house.

The three of them took the lead, Fang Hong followed, walking through the forest, the road met a partridge flying by, a Mayan raised a blowgun, aimed at the sky and blew, the partridge landed.

Walking forward, I saw an open stone cliff, which is the cave.

"The karst cave is an underground cave formed by the dissolution and expansion of groundwater along the fissures of the soluble rock, the scale is different, the form is strange, and there are many peculiar landscapes in the cave, such as stalagmites, stone pillars, stone stalactites, stone mantles, etc. Caves are the long-term result of water dissolution, water erosion, and gravity. The karst cave landscape is widely distributed in the southwestern provinces of China plus Funan. ”

The large karst cave can accommodate many people, and there are many karst cave scenic spots in our country.

The opening in front of you is very large, just just enter, you can see a lot of karst cave landform features, including stone pillars and stone curtains, beautiful stalagmites are less, the reason has been said before, the weather is hot, the water evaporates quickly, which is not conducive to the growth of stalagmites.

In front of me, something like a pot appeared in front of me, but it was huge.

"Seeing this huge pot-like thing supported by many stone pillars, there is no such thing as a pot, a very common landscape in karst caves, the stone pot, is due to a strong turbulence at the top of the cave, the water pressure increases, and the amount of dissolution is larger than that of other places, thus forming an arc shape that is concave to the top, which is called a stone pot. ”

The accumulation landform is the essence of the karst cave landscape brown, and the accumulation of gravity water is the main way to form the accumulation landform, and a large number of dissolved soluble rocks accumulate with the continuous fall of water droplets, forming a lot of gorgeous and colorful wonders.

Fang Hong looked at a small bamboo shoot in front of him: "I don't know if breaking a piece is a crime." ”

"Brother Gun, are you going to wreak havoc?"

"How can it, how bad the impact is, I came with the mentality of protecting the cave, don't go to the stalagmite when you travel to the cave scenic spot. It's all something that's been formed over hundreds of thousands of years. ”

Stone stalactites and stalagmites, due to their tectonic formation, have annual rings, just like large trees.

Formed in the process of day after day, year after year, it is inevitable that there will be differences between the front and back, so it is concentric circle structure.

In general, stalactites are hanging upside down, stalagmites are on the ground, and they are all cones, which after a long time they merge into one and eventually become stout stone pillars.

However, the stone pillars here are very thin, which means that the rocks here are easier to stack up and down.

"The ladders we saw in front of us were a little wet, they were not artificially hewn, but side stone embankments, made in heaven and earth, and they were magical. ”

It's like Sun Wukong saw the Water Curtain Cave, there are all kinds of belongings in it, all of which are made in heaven, so the author of Journey to the West must have been to a very beautiful cave and had the inspiration of the Water Curtain Cave.

"Akkuyi, Amodo, Gaga. ”

"You can shoot during the day. In the evening, leave. ”

The Mayans who live in the countryside or in the city are no different from ordinary locals, but the few who live in caves are different.

Fang Hong asked: "Can I film the scene of your sacrifice?" ”

Fang Hong knew that he had a grammar error, so he said a few important words separately.

"There is no sacrifice, there is no sacrifice today. ”

Every ethnic group is the same, and it is impossible to worship every day, whether it is burning incense and worshiping the Buddha on the fifteenth day of the new year, or worshipping on Saturday (there are churches on Saturday and Sunday).

Therefore, the Mayan sacrifice also had time, and it was impossible to sacrifice when there was nothing to do.

Fang Hong sighed: "It's a pity. ”

"Brother Gun, let's see how they live, right?"

"What can it be?" Fang Hong looked up at the space at the top, it was a lot darker, and even the surface of some stalactites was black, indicating that they had lived here for some years.

"Brother Gun, ask about the Crystal Skull!" many unsolved mystery lovers asked.

"I don't need to ask about the crystal skull, I can answer it, it's a hoax. ”

First of all, in Mayan carving, the method of stone smashing is used, which means that hard stones can be carved on slightly softer stones, and those with strong plasticity and low hardness can be depicted in detail.

The hardness of the crystal is about 7, do you know what the concept is? The hardness of human bones is the teeth, which are a few over six points, and the hardness of the hardest teeth in the world is only seven.

The hardness of stainless steel is 5.

If you want to engrave crystal, you must have an alloy drill bit or even a diamond.

The so-called crystal skulls are all modern artifacts, because they are not found in ancient Mayan records, and the first crystal skulls were discovered a few years after the discovery of the Mayan city-states.

It was not found in the ruins, and then there were many crystal skulls, and they were different, some were modeled after the shape of the Peking ape man's skull, some were complete skull crystals, and even some had crystal skulls that were completely carved out according to the dissection study.

That's definitely not something the Mayans could do.

The very simple idea, the cranial cavity, if you use the means of carving, then you have to dig into a very small hole and drill and then knock it.

First, the high hardness of the crystal does not mean that it is strong, like glass, it will shatter when hit hard, and second, the tools of the Mayans are stone diamonds, which are more used to make fires than carving, even if the Mayans have iron diamonds, it is difficult to carve crystal skulls.

The Crystal Skull was a mischievous invention that was then imitated by countless fans and turned into an inexplicable puzzle.

Because most of the world's puzzles are deliberately created by humans, so the same goes for the crystal skulls.

The Mayans made fires, and the Mayans baked food.

The Mayan way of burning pottery is very primitive, of course, it is more advanced than the sun-baked pottery, and there is also the process of charcoal kiln, which is much more advanced than the fire-fired pottery of many Pacific Islanders, but it only stops there, and the pottery burning method in China is no different from 5,000 years ago.
