Chapter 734: Aztec Civilization

……

"Well, since you know the words above, what do they mean?" Liu Dong said.

"It should be 'Great corn god Silone, please shelter your people for a good harvest ......', many of the latter I don't recognize, but they should be honorifics, and promise to sacrifice to the gods every September!" Ivanka said.

After nodding, Liu Dong said: "Okay, since we've finished reading it, let's leave quickly!"

However, he really underestimated a woman's curiosity.

On the premise of being safe, Ivanka doesn't want to leave for the time being, after all, they are now in the holy city 'Aztlan', which is the most desirable for all historians and archaeologists who study the Aztec civilization!

"Liu Dong, can you take me to the pyramid below?" Ivanka turned around and grabbed Liu Dong's arm, and said with pleading in her tone.

"Do you just look at each other like that?" Liu Dong said with a headache.

Ivanka nodded hurriedly, Liu Dong is a Chinese, his own country itself has a long and brilliant civilization, he does not have to envy anyone, any country.

Because the splendor and splendor of Chinese civilization are stronger than any country or nation on earth.

But Americans are different, they have only been around for more than 200 years since the founding of the country. Although now the United States of America is a strong country. But culturally he is an out-and-out dwarf. Therefore, any American has a strong interest in ancient civilizations such as the Mayan culture, Inca culture, and Aztec culture that appeared in the history of the Americas.

Especially the pyramids, one of the greatest structures of ancient civilizations.

In addition, although the Pyramid of the Sun and the Pyramid of the Moon in the ruins of Theotivakan are world-famous, no one has been able to say exactly what these two pyramids were used until now, and no one can give 100% proof of whether they were also a huge tomb like the pyramids of Egypt!

But now the pyramid under the feet of the two can completely solve this secret, so Ivanka wants to go inside and find out, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Of course. The structure and purpose of this pyramid have long been clear to Liu Dong, who has the relics of Yuanguang.

However, seeing that Ivanka dared to be interested, Liu Dong did not refuse.

Anyway, you have to leave later, and leaving from the steps outside the pyramid is the same as leaving from the inside.

"Okay, but you have to keep up, in case you get lost, I can't find you!"

After finishing speaking, Liu Dong took out a fist-sized fluorite from his pocket!

In an instant, a soft blue light illuminated the surrounding space of about five or six meters.

"It's beautiful. This is the Aztec Sun Stone!Liu Dong, where did you find it?" Ivanka was pleasantly surprised.

"Sunstone? I only know it's called fluorite. It's a natural ore, found from those natives!"

However, fluorite can emit light on its own and can bring light in the dark, so it is not unreasonable to be called a sun stone.

Seeing that Ivanka was interested in the fluorite in his hand, Liu Dong simply handed it over to her, anyway, he took out the fluorite for Ivanka's lighting, Liu Dong himself has the relic yuan light in his hand, which is more effective than a 1000-watt light bulb.

On the left side of the temple there is a downward passage from which one can access the interior of the pyramid.

But the space at the top of the pyramid isn't a good place.

Nearly 4,000 square meters, about 6 meters high, in the fifth floor of the pyramid, is divided into different rooms by pieces of obsidian, the size of each room is about 60 square meters, and these rooms are filled with white bones, some of the bones have decayed, but some are still very intact, and judging from the clothes remaining on these bones, the time that should have died is not very long.

"Aren't you afraid?"

In a graveyard-like environment, Ivanka actually looked very interested, which is too weird!

"Don't be afraid!"

After a simple response to Liu Dong's words, Ivanka said: "I heard that the Aztecs often beheaded slaves and prisoners of war to sacrifice their gods, and it seems that these people are all sacrifices that have been killed!"

Looking at Ivanka, Liu Dong shook his head, "This floor is full of skeletons, there's nothing to look at, let's go!"

Soon the two came to the second floor, the space on the second floor has tens of thousands of square meters, and it is also divided into different rooms by obsidian, but the rooms here are much larger than the above, and even the smallest one is about 1,000 square meters.

In addition, the third floor of the pyramid is similar to the second floor, and some of these large obsidian rooms are still empty, and many have been clogged with boulders.

And these clogged rooms are full of gorgeous tombs, which contain not only gold and silver treasures and various works of art that accompany the burial, but also the burial slaves! These are the tombs of the Aztec royal family and nobles.

According to Ivanka, when the Aztecs died, they generally chose to bury themselves in the place closest to God.

According to the structure of the pyramid, it is natural that the higher it goes, the closer it is to the gods.

"The murals on these tombs are so beautiful!"

Looking at the still bright murals on the walls through the glow of fluorite, Ivanka exclaimed.

Hearing this, Liu Dong also nodded in agreement. The Aztecs used red, yellow, and green paints to depict scenes of their daily life such as harvests, prayers, and wars, as well as knowledge of astronomy, calendars, and more!

What's more, even more rare is that although many years have passed, these murals are still brightly colored, as if they had just been painted, and it is not unrelated to the preservational effect of this pyramid that has been praised.

By the time the two of them came to the fourth floor, the space here had reached nearly 40,000 square meters, and the space on the fourth floor was more like a living space. In the middle is a conference hall of about 3,000 square meters. Around this hall. There are a variable number of private rooms and public spaces around. Even Liu Dong found two weapons storage rooms here.

"Liu Dong, come and see, there is an exit here!"

Liu Dong had already discovered the exit, but that exit couldn't really go out.

"Ivanka, don't go out!"

"Why?"

After pulling her carefully to the edge of the exit, the two of them lay down, and then climbed forward for two meters, Liu Dong said: "Look!"

Curious. Ivanka immediately raised her head and looked outside, only to see that at this moment, the square less than 50 meters away from the pyramid where they were standing was full of dense crowds!

It's strange to go out at such a close distance without being discovered.

Thinking about this, Ivanka was also a little scared on her face.

But fear was soon replaced by curiosity, "What are they doing?"

"It should be a sacrifice!" Liu Dong said after a little thought.

"Sacrifice?"

"That's right!" Liu Dong nodded.

It's still night, and although there are giant fluorite lights on the top of more than 20 pyramids, the brightness of the light is not as bright as the sun in the daytime, so under the misty blue light, Ivanka can only see the surrounding 40 meters clearly, and only a shadow can be seen farther away.

But Liu Dong is different. The light of his relics was enough to envelop the entire square.

Therefore, there is nothing to hide for Liu Dong here.

"What kind of sacrifice?" I couldn't see clearly. The only way to do this is to turn to Liu Dong for help!

"There are a lot of snakes!" Liu Dong's face was a little unnatural.

Because in the center of this large square of nearly 35,000 square meters, there is a stone pit of about 1,000 square meters, and the stone pit is surrounded by obsidian railings one meter above the square, and these obsidian railings are carved with shadow, round and semicircular carvings almost all of them are snakes.

And on the northernmost side of the pit, that is, on the side close to the pyramid, there is a giant serpentine sculpture about 8 meters high and about 40 meters long, which is looking up to the sky and hissing!

The most important thing is that the stone pit is full of swimming black snakes, which are densely rolled into snake balls!

Let Liu Dong look at it and feel crooked!

"Are those snakes all black with white rings on the back of their heads?" Ivanka asked quickly.

"Can you see that?" Liu Dong said strangely.

"I can't see clearly, but this snake is called the 'Dehuac Black Snake', and in the Aztec civilization it is regarded as the human incarnation of the 'Quetzalcoatl God' Czalco Attel, so in the heyday of the Aztec civilization, this snake was often used to hold luxurious and grand 'Serpent' festivals in March and September every year!"

"Snake Festival Ceremony?" Liu Dong had never heard of before.

"Well, in some records handed down from the Aztec civilization, every year in March and September, the Aztecs would kill a lot of slaves in their royal capital 'Tenochtitlan', and feed the 'Delawac Black Snake' with their flesh and blood, and after these snakes ate human blood, the female snake and the male snake would mate, and at this time, the 'Delawac Black Snake' would produce a strong aphrodisiac gas, which would stimulate the surrounding Aztec nobles to intermate!"

Speaking of which, Ivanka's voice was noticeably lower and much slower.

However, Liu Dong didn't pay attention to this, and he was attracted by Ivanka's explanation.

"No wonder there are all young adults here, and there are no old people and children!" Liu Dong said in his heart.

“…… It is rumored that on the 'Serpent's Day', almost all the participating Aztec women will get pregnant, and the babies who are pregnant at this time can be blessed by the feathered Serpent god 'Quechalco Atel', and they are smart and brave, and can become the most powerful warrior of the Aztecs......!"

"Ah......h

At this moment, a terrible scream suddenly sounded, interrupting Ivanka's narration and making her tremble involuntarily.

"What's wrong? What was the sound?" Ivanka panicked.

"'Snake's Day' has begun!" Liu Dong said with a cold expression. (To be continued......)
