Chapter Twenty-Five: Crossing the Long River

Given the natural evolutionary process, you will know clearly and unambiguously what kind of environment humans will eat their own kind. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Resources are scarce and food is scarce.

In this case, if you hunt the prey, you will let the prey dry up the blood? No, you will drink the soup first, and then eat the meat.

This is where vampires around the world come from.

Let's talk about a race that we know most widely but don't know about cannibals, Peking Man.

Why were Peking Man found only skulls and no facial bones? The answer is simple.

One day, a Peking ape-man was walking on the road and met a cannibalistic Peking ape-man holding a big mallet, and then he could not return home.

The cannibal Peking Man first drank his blood, then smashed his facial bones with stones, ate his smiling muscles, ate his brain, and then slowly began to want to eat properly.

In this cave, the cannibal Peking ape man ate about eight people, and then went out with a big stick, and then he met the saber-toothed tiger, and then he did not return home.

Time passed, Homo sapiens arrived, and the saber-toothed tiger went out in a hurry, met Homo sapiens with a spear, and then it did not return home.

The long river of history rolled forward, and one day, we dug up the skull of Peking Man.

Originally, we imagined that a group of Peking Man would live here, resting at sunrise and sunset, but one day, some people wondered because the traces of these skulls that had been treated by cannibals were too obvious.

In the film and television works you see, the cannibal wears the entire skull on the trunk of a tree and the mad image does not exist, because it is a large piece of meat, and he will never be whole.

In the jungles of South America, cannibals have long been confirmed, and they may not look exactly like Mayan vampires, but it is understandable that the Mayans portrayed cannibals a little more distorted and with larger fangs after the crucifixion of their brothers and sisters.

Junior high school textbooks will never tell you that Peking Man is a cannibal, just as a textbook will never tell you that Huang Chao, the leader of the 'advanced' and 'great' peasant uprising, is also an ogre.

Fang Hong said goodbye to the excavation team and embarked on an adventure alone, through the panoramic shooting function, Fang Hong saw everything that should be seen, and it was time to leave.

Head to the western montane jungle in search of the Maya, the cave-dwelling Maya.

"The Maya, a branch of the ancient Americans, are the only people in the Americas who have left a written record, living in southern Mexico and northern Central America. In fact, the Maya gave them a collective title for convenience. ”

In other words, the definition itself is a paradox, first there is no one Maya, but there are many clans, small states, etc., and then they all have their own scripts, and they are similar. And then you define them as the Mayans, and then you tell the world that this is the only people in the Americas who have a written language.

It's as boring and useless as if you classify everything that has wings as a bird and then tell the world that you found that only birds can fly. One day, you will find that there are bats in the world, which are completely unknown to birds, but are regarded as birds.

"Originally, the Maya lived in the lowlands and highlands of Guatemala, but now they have retreated to the highlands. ”

As mentioned before, the Indians were very warlike, so they couldn't live in the plains, because once you entered the farming civilization, you became a target for robbery.

In this sense, the reason why the Maya are Maya and will always be a primitive Neolithic civilization is because they did not have courage.

The warlike peoples of the whole world live in the mountains, and the plains are suitable for farming, and the farming civilization or to put it simply, that is, the Chinese do not know that the harvest season will be robbed by the northern nomads? In order to prevent being robbed, they go to live in the mountains?

If you don't have the courage to enter the plains to farm, even if you develop into a big empire, you will be like the Yuan Dynasty, planting grass and feeding horses in the south of the Yangtze River, and eventually it will collapse in a short time.

Just imagine, no matter how many people in the Mayan Empire are, as long as they cultivate potatoes, they can survive, and if they can't survive and retreat into the mountains and forests, why?

You should never expect a slash-and-burn civilization to last.

One day in the millennium A.D., a certain king looked at the slash-and-burn land and wondered why fewer and fewer crops were growing.

One day in 1400 A.D., a Mayan man stood on the ground, looking at the barren land and bewildered as to what to do.

One day in 1500 A.D., a group of Mayans entered the forest without looking back, and why did they live in these stone houses when they were going to live a hunting day?

Not long after the Maya retreated, and within a few years, the Spaniards accidentally bought a clay pot called the Maya and were fascinated by it.

Subsequently, a Spaniard arrived in Mexico and 'conquered' the Aztecs.

History always records that the Spaniards led a bunch of Indian hillmen to victory over the Aztec Empire, as if the Spaniards were very good at war.

In fact, it was the smallpox outbreak that led to the collapse of the Aztec Empire.

The Spaniards were the zombie virus pathogens in the civilization of that era, and they always claimed that they were Aztec nationals with tens of millions of people who had killed them with their teeth.

Civilizations are changing and blending in this land.

Later literature shows that the Indians were extremely adept at using horses, and that horses were brought from Europe.

Two hundred years before the Age of Discovery, the Indians beat the Europeans unwanted, but with the rampant epidemics, the Indian civilization collapsed rapidly, and even the Mayans who retreated into the mountains and forests seemed to be greatly reduced.

Today, the modern Maya are mainly engaged in farming, and many Maya still live in caves and refuse to go out, just as the Zoe refuse to have much interaction with white people.

"This is the Guatemalan highlands, and the jungle is full of karst formations, which are made up of stone forests and karst caves, but there are other geographical phenomena, such as the sinkholes that appear every few years in Guatemala, and the deep circular caves that suddenly collapse in the center of the city are caused by the tropical karst landforms. ”

Fang Hong looked at a cave in front of him: "There is no trace of human habitation here, let's move on." ”

Indian music sounded again, and the shouts seemed to come from ancient times, piercing through the barriers, deep and melodious.

There must be some reason why this BGM sounded in the live broadcaster.

Fang Hong shook his head left and right, and finally saw the scene he wanted to see.

Three unclothed Mayans stood at one end of the jungle, looking in this direction, and they were holding long poles, which were blowguns.

Many hunters did not use bows and arrows, but used blowguns, which allowed them to harvest their prey without wasting so much effort.

Long black and curly hair, dark black unknown tattoos, patterned aprons, and a thin figure.

Maya.
