Chapter 24: Like a Lighthouse

Fang Hong used the panoramic shooting mode to clearly see the appearance of this temple. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žfo

Temples generally have two floors, the first floor is filled with sculptures, including vampires, jaguars, and sun statues, and the second level has just begun to be built, and an empire has collapsed, and everyone is fleeing for their lives and leaving.

Famine ravaged the land, and the Mayans abandoned civilization and returned to the mountains and forests.

The second layer of this temple is evidence, which happens to be the product between 1400-1500 and the time when the last wave of Mayans entered the jungle.

To excavate the entire temple, it will take two months, and to empty the soil inside the first layer, it will take three months, which is already the pace of modernization, and if it was the seventies, it would take three years.

But it only takes a day to dig a faΓ§ade, or a hole in the ground.

"Dig from here, yes, dig here, give up where you just dug up, and there's a broken stone underneath. ”

"Huh?" the white scientist in front of him looked up, "How do you know it's a broken stone?"

Fang Hong raised his head: "Give me the shovel." ”

A white female scientist, who was about thirty years old, handed the shovel to Fang Hong.

Fang Hong aimed the shovel at the ground, stabbed it hard, stepped on the shovel, lifted it heavily, and a large piece of soil was lifted, and sure enough, after two consecutive stones, there were no stones.

"This is the second storey of the building, and the second floor has not been built, so this is a broken stone, and we should be able to see the door of this building when we dig directly from this position, and we don't need to dig the perimeter to investigate the interior first. ”

The white female scientist turned around and spread her hands: "Who is this buddy?"

Houston: "Dig guy, Doug, listen to him. ”

"Dog?"

Doug looked back: "Yes, Doug." ”

"Dogs. ”

Doug wondered, "Is there anything special about my name?"

"Nothing special, you remind me of a cute animal. ”

Doug understood, and raised his middle finger: "It's not funny at all." ”

Fang Hong stayed by the side, and two hours later, Fang Hong stepped forward: "Little expert in digging holes, dog, tap, tap, there is something." ”

Doug was completely devastated: "What?" With his common sense, he couldn't see anything here, so she was desperate.

"Brother Gun, did you really come here by chance? Do you want to see or find something?"

"Brother Gun, can you let you take them away if you find them?"

"If you don't take it, I'll take a look. ”

The work slowed down because something really happened.

It is indeed a stone carving of a mask.

However, Houston's judgment at the first time surprised Fang Hong, because Houston shouted the Sun God Mask, not the Vampire Mask.

It's funny, because this thing has two huge fangs, Sun God?

"As far as I know, there is no sun god in Mayan mythology. ”

Houston: "No, when I say the sun god, I mean the god of the sky, Itsamner. ”

"Are you sure this is It-Sumner? No way, It-Sumner has no teeth. ”

Houston nodded: "I know, this is the second form of Itsamu. ”

Legend has it that Itsumner has two forms, one of which is an old man with no teeth, a gray beard, and sunken cheeks, and the second is a lizard body, which is the shape of a dragon.

"It's just a mask, there's no body, and there's no way you're sure he's the god It-Sumna. Fang Hong was serious.

Houston nodded: "You're right, although this temple should be built later as the Temple of the Night Sun, but he doesn't have to be It-Sumner himself, but we can see other things." ”

This mask that was suspected to be the sun god was crimson in color, and Fang Hong thought it was a vampire mask.

Houston instructed Doug and the others to continue digging, but when it was time for lunch, everyone had to eat lunch first.

A light meal, followed by digging to continue.

"In the jungle of the sixteenth century, the Temple of the Night Sun was like a landmark, a lighthouse, although the pyramid was higher, but the pyramid was in the valley, this temple of the sun faced east, like a red lighthouse, and this red mask could be seen from far away. ”

Houston was right, the jungle was too low and the buildings seemed tall.

As the excavation continued, the wall behind the vampire mask was excavated, revealing a picture of more than three hundred years of immersion in the ground.

A fiery red, hideous-looking figure, surrounded by a ring of fire, staying in the sky.

Houston: "It's a vampire. ”

β€œWTFοΌŸβ€

This was Fang Hong's scolding: "You tell me that the one with fangs is the legendary toothless god, and you tell me that the image of a sun is a vampire?"

The reason why Fang Hong wants to argue with Houston about this is because it involves a very important matter.

This very important thing is that when Fang Hong was in junior high school, he argued with a classmate about a Mayan picture, a god head, Fang Hong said it was a vampire, and his classmate said it was a god.

Now, Fang Hong has become an expert in various middle schools, of course, he has to prove that he is right, this kind of thing can be remembered for a lifetime, although it is useless, but people fight for a breath.

Houston was silent for a moment: "You can't make me say that this ugly image is a god, and this boxy mask is a vampire." ”

"What's not to do, the image of the sun is the sun god himself, and the one with fangs is a vampire, and the god can be alien, but the vampire must be in human form, because the vampire in this land is rumored to be the incarnation of a cannibal, since he is a cannibal, then he is also a human, and he should be human. ”

Houston doesn't know what to say on this issue. The gods of all over the world have square faces, and it is necessary to say that the gods of the Mayan and attractive civilizations are aliens......

Fang Hong: "I insist on my point of view, if you insist on your point of view, I will send the article to National Geographic." ”

Houston was silent, not knowing what to say.

"We can't guess at these things, and I promise it's a big discovery, and you don't want National Geographic's 2012 Top 10 Discoveries, the Temple of the Mayan Night Sun, to have my name written on it instead of yours. You deduced all this from other myths around the world, I extrapolated all this from the Maya itself, which one is closer to the truth you should know. ”

Houston gritted his teeth: "You guy is really tough, but this temple was originally discovered by you." ”

Fang Hong got up and lit a cigarette: "You can write couplets and discover." ”

Fang Hong pointed to the temple: "Five or six hundred years old temple, do you know what it means?"

"What?"

"In the earlier Mayan records and Mayan murals, the Mayan calendar was inferred to 2012 and ended, and the world is rumored that 2012 is the end of the Mayan inference, but this temple was built more than 500 years ago in the world, and the written records and calendar left here must have crossed 2012 to reach thousands of years later, this is a big discovery, I just discovered the temple, you discovered the calendar. ”

"I found ...... You can already guess it. ”

"Guessing is not the same as discovering. ”

"Okay, you've convinced me, I'll write in the report that our team is working with you to discover the temple, but the archaeological content of the things inside will be my team's discovery, and I respect one of you, this is a vampire mask, and this mural is the sun god. ”

Fang Hong stretched out his hand: "Happy cooperation." ”

Houston frowned, "Why do you have to convince me that this is a vampire mask?"

"Because I've always believed that I'm right, I've thought it was a vampire mask since I was a kid. ”

At this moment, Fang Hong is secretly cool, hahaha, or Lao Tzu is smart, this is the vampire mask. And he is so secret, no one has come to poke it, and even, the object of the argument is also a classmate who has lost contact, maybe the other party has long forgotten.

But so what, science can have multiple interpretations, and archaeology should have only one answer.

Hundreds of years ago, a group of Mayans were in the woods, and suddenly they saw another group of people, and then they were attacked, and the other party brutally sucked blood from the bleeding wounds of Mayan warriors, and then they portrayed their image, Mayan vampires.

Cannibals, suck blood before eating, then stone people's heads, eat the flesh on their heads, and finally enjoy a big meal.
