The morning sun makes people forget the pain of the past. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Walking in the shade of the trees is refreshing.
Fang Hong has been in Guatemala for three days, gradually moving from the coast to the inland, to the bottom of the mountains.
The route chosen is peculiar, avoiding almost all the cities along the way, but it is connected by one Mayan ruin after another.
This is not El Salvador, Fang Hong knows this place very well.
The reason is that Fang Hong has seen the future.
There is a huge discovery here, the largest archaeological discovery in a year or two.
It is also the biggest discovery of the Mayan civilization in the new century.
But yet, the experts haven't found a place yet.
Rather, it circles around the perimeter and digs.
Fang Hong sees the future not only when a certain star is on fire, but also about a domestic company buying a film company in Hollywood, but also some special things, including the discovery of a Mayan temple.
However, Fang Hong would not tell anyone about this.
At ten o'clock in the morning, Fang Hong finally found the archaeological team, which was equivalent to finding the location of the temple.
When the members of the archaeological team saw that an adventurer had entered, they immediately stepped forward to negotiate.
An old man with brown hair and a gray beard saw Fang Hong and immediately stepped forward: "You are Fang Hong?"
Fang Hong nodded: "Hello." ”
"Hello hello, it's an honor. ”
The other archaeological team members didn't know Fang Hong, but this old man knew Fang Hong for the simple reason that National Geographic would announce the top ten discoveries of the year every year.
Last year, Fang Hong alone occupied three of the top ten discoveries of the year, one of which was the Antarctic ice sheet ocean, one was Sun City, and the last one was Far Island.
National Geographic is a book that is highly regarded in the Western scientific community, and many people want to publish their work on it all their lives, whether it's papers, photographs, or whatever.
The people who can occupy three of the top ten discoveries of the year are definitely people who are known to everyone in the natural sciences.
The old man laughed: "You didn't come here for archaeology, did you?"
"I'm just shooting a documentary, passing by here, you're cleaning up the Mayan ruins?"
"That's right, since November last year, many ruins have been excavated here, and it is suspected that this is a Mayan city. ”
"Stephen Houston, I remember, you're the Houston who discovered the ruins of the city-state of Eltoz. "Houston, an American, discovered the city-state of Eltoz, one of the earliest ruins of a Mayan city-state discovered by a scientific expedition today, about 300 A.D., and here he found the remains of the first king of the city-state of Eltoz.
Stephen Houston laughed, "yes, I didn't think you knew me." ”
Fang Hong's belly slandered, can you not know, I came here after checking the information, do you think it was really a chance encounter?
Fang Hong looked back at the camera: "This is Professor Stephen Houston of Brown University in the Ivy League, a professor in the Department of Archaeology, who happens to work with me. ”
"Phew, shameless. "Sailors are happy, Brother Gun's job is archaeology?
Houston: "You young people are really good at playing. ”
Looking around, Fang Hong wondered, "Where is that fifteen-meter-high pyramid?"
Houston thought for a long time: "Wait for me to convert, forty-five feet (feet), thirteen meters high, in this direction here, do you want to go and see, I can lead the way." ”
Fang Hong raised his hand: "No need, can I take a look at the map?"
Houston pulled out the map.
Fang Hong looked at it carefully, and then closed the map: "So you're looking for a temple, right?" ”
Houston was taken aback for a moment, then nodded, "A lot of my team members don't know that." ”
Can a city-state, especially one with the tombs of kings, be without temples?
However, Fang Hong clearly saw ...... Through the panoramic shooting function, it can be seen that at a depth of 100 meters underground, there are piles of waste stones, and the temple built in 300 AD has collapsed, but there is a centuries-old temple here, the Temple of the Night Sun.
A temple that contains a statue of a Mayan vampire and a sun god.
Truth be told, the Mayan vampire looks like the Buddhist angry eye Vajra.
Fang Hong: "I guess you saw the record in the holy book, so you've been looking for it. ”
"Brother Gun, what is a holy book?"
Fang Hong thought for a moment: "The surname Houston should have originated in Ireland or Scotland, and it doesn't matter if you talk about the holy book." At that time, there was a Portuguese brain-dead missionary, in order to make the Maya believe in God, ordered to burn most of the books that recorded the Mayan script, so that no one knows this kind of writing now, and the holy books are a small number of books that escaped disaster. ”
If you think about ancient China, 100,000 books were written, 40,000 were lost, 10,000 were burned, and 50,000 remained, but in other civilizations, there were 100 books in total, and 100 were burned, and what was left?
However, modern scientists can understand some Mayan texts based on the symbolic text, and many Mayan myths are recorded in the holy books, and of course some special things are recorded, such as architecture, such as war.
A temple to the sun is recorded in the holy books.
In ancient Maya, the temple of the sun was not dedicated to the god of the sun, but to the god of heaven Itsumna, but the temple of the sun did not survive, but some less important temples remained, such as the pyramid of the god Quetzalcoatl in Kukulcan.
And more than 600 years ago, someone built another temple here, the Temple of the Night Sun, which was filled with Mayan vampires and other things, in which the image of the sun god was used as a suppression.
It's the portrait rather than the stone carving, when the Mayan civilization had come to an end, a hundred years after the temple was built, the Mayan civilization abandoned the last city on the earth, and then the Westerners came here.
These temples are buried in the dust of history, and not so deeply.
Houston: "So, based on your judgment, where do you think it's possible?"
Houston knew that Fang Hong had dug up the ruins (Sun City) and had contributed to archaeology (New Dragon), so he asked the question politely.
Fang Hong was different, Fang Hong was waiting for this sentence, and after hearing it, he walked ten meters forward: "This location, underground, dig one meter, you can see the stones." ”
"Huh?"
Fang Hong shrugged: "With my knowledge, I am sure that there are stones underneath here, as for whether it is natural or architectural, it is not necessarily." ”
Houston frowned: "The soil layer here has been formed in the last three hundred years, except for the ruins of the building, where did any naturally formed stones come from, are you sure there are stones underneath here?"
"Yes, sure. ”
"How is that determined?"
Fang Hong shrugged: "You know, personal experience can't be summarized many times. ”
Houston: "Dig a meter and see." ”
After speaking, talking to the people around him, several old beauties were also puzzled, but they still respected Houston's opinion and began to dig.
Fang Hong stood aside: "My luck has always been good. ”
"Brother Gun, what do you say, say it again?" "Who went where and where did the natural disaster?
"When I didn't say ......"
Fang Hong looked at the shovel again and again, and thought silently in his heart: "Originally, you could have found out in May, but I caught up, so I have to take a look in advance." ”
While the excavation was underway, another head of the archaeological team came.
"Why did you suddenly dig in a different place?"
Houston: "Tombo, this is Fang Hong." ”
"Which one is on National Geographic?" Tombaught wondered.
"That's right. ”
Tang Bo was very enthusiastic: "Hello Fang Hong, can I go and see the sword in the stone?"
Fang Hong scratched his head: "You can see it if you buy a ticket, it's on public display." ”
"Professor!
Houston was shocked: "Awesome, awesome, what should I do next?" He didn't ask where to dig next, but to find out if Fang Hong knew the details of this temple.
Fang Hong thought for a moment: "Let's dig from here." ”
Fang Hong came here just to prove one thing, the most important thing was to see the vampire mask, that's right, the image of a vampire was a separate item carved from a boulder, not carved on the wall.
