Chapter 424: A Trip to Mali
"That.. These.. What does that mean? ”
Li Jiani's expression was stunned, is this a prophet? Or is it a remnant of a prehistoric civilization?
"I don't know. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Lotus shook her head, "According to the Dogons, their knowledge of astronomy was imparted to them by the intelligent beings of the Sirius galaxy who came to Earth in ancient times. ”
"About 5,000 years ago, in ancient Egypt."
"They call this intelligent creature Nomu. Legend has it that Nomu came to Earth from somewhere in the northeast of the current homeland of the Dogon people. The aircraft they were flying in circled and descended, making a loud noise and a gale that made deep marks in the ground as they landed. ”
"Noam.." The doubts in Li Jiani's eyes were even worse.
"It is said that Nomu looks like a fish and a human, and is an amphibian creature that must live in water. In the drawings and dances of the Dogon people, legends about the Nomu are preserved. ”
Lotus rubbed her hair and smiled, "Of course, these legends without any basis are not credible. ”
"yes, it scared the hell out of me!" Li Jiani breathed a sigh of relief.
"But the patterns are interesting." Lotus pointed and said: "If you are not mistaken, the three spherical patterns that form a triangle here are the three stars of Orion, and the one in the southeast direction is Sirius..."
"And what are these two things around it?" Li Jiani's curiosity has been completely aroused!
"Well," Lotus pinched her chin and pretended to be deep, "Then we have to talk about another legend of the Dogon people." ”
"Hurry!" Li Jiani couldn't help but use a soft nasal voice. She just likes her husband like this, the deeper the better!
Lotus nodded with satisfaction and said, "According to the legend of the Dogon people, there is a third star in the Sirius galaxy called Enmeia, and there is a moon orbiting Enmeia. Then this is the Samsung system. ”
"Do three stars orbit together?" Li Jiani glanced at Sirius's position meaningfully.
"Yes." Lotus spread her hands and smiled: "It's just that Enmeiya has not been discovered." ”
"That's cool!" Li Jiani held her baby slate and raised her eyebrows, and said proudly: "I didn't expect that I could catch such a treasure casually!" ”
Lotus shook her head amusedly, this thing looks quite bluffing, but it may not be of any value. After all, these contents have been circulated more or less.
"Husband, what is the rest?" Li Jiani pointed indiscriminately on the stone slab.
"Some celestial bodies." Pointing to the square and triangular patterns, the lotus flower said, "These must be their houses and pyramids." After all, the relationship between ancient Egypt and Sirius was not ordinary. ”
"Yes, yes, I know this!" Li Jiani nodded again and again, "The 365 days of a year were set by the ancient Egyptians according to Sirius. The temple was also built to face the same position as Sirius rising! ”
"It's amazing." Lotus exclaimed. If the ancient Egyptians were the wisdom of the calendar, then the then tributes would be a bit inexplicable...
"Yes!" Li Jiani rubbed the slate in her hand and suddenly said, "Husband, let's go to the tribe of the Dogon people to inquire, shall we?"
"Uh," Lotus nodded at her longing little face, "Okay." ”
....
Mali was relatively stable in 2009, but the turmoil was already on the horizon. The main reason is that after the al-Qaeda organization was broken up, it moved to North Africa and West Africa, colluding with local extremist forces, and posing a great security threat to the local society.
In the afternoon, Lotus and Li Jiani came to the border town of Korikori in Bangjagara.
It's not surprising that the two tourists are dressed up, after all, this is also a tourist attraction.
Entering the city, I came to the city and saw the handicraft market.
The market is lined with stalls, motorbikes and old-fashioned blacks weaving their way through the dark yellow dirt roads.
Tourists, pedestrians, vehicles, and so on.
Li Jiani looked curiously east and west, but after shopping for a while, she was disgusted by the street vendors in the middle of the market...
The lotus flowers, the vendors selling animal skins and heads, also frowned.
Piles of cow heads, monkey heads, and various shriveled animal carcasses mixed together to exude a disgusting, breath-taking smell.
"Let's go, let's go, no." Li Jiani can't stand it, it's not because of horror, it's really super smelly!
"Yes." Lotus nodded, hugged her and walked out of the city.
Leaving Korikori, the duo took to the road on foot, which is 16.17 kilometers away from Bangjagara.
The road is mostly rocky, and you can occasionally see some green plants.
There are many vehicles coming and going, and locals and tourists are also traveling by car.
However, when basically all the vehicles pass by the two, they will subconsciously look at the men and women who are dragging boxes and walking on the stone road leisurely.
It's so hard to see! Although he is covered with a headscarf, the clean and bright clothes, relaxed pace, and tall figure, this style of painting is obviously different!
The sky darkened unconsciously, and Li Jiani was not in a hurry, anyway, the target location was in front of her. And to be honest, she doesn't have much to look forward to, it's just a matter of luck.
"Toot toot.."
A small, worn-out white truck pulled up beside them.
Lotus and Li Jiani turned their heads to look over, the car window rolled down, and a mouthful of big white teeth was the first to be exposed.
"Hello, outsider, is there anything you need help with?" The black guy smiled and said in English, "It's a very unsafe time." ”
“....”
The two of them looked at him expressionlessly, and that gaze was even more terrifying than his teeth in this hazy darkness!
Lotus was the first to break the silence, "What's your name?" ”
"Zasiqi..."The black boy Zasiqi was obviously not as lively as before, and he felt as if he had done something stupid.
"Where are you from?" Lotus asked calmly.
"I'm a Dogon." Zasic replied honestly. His gaze kept sweeping around, and his left hand was hesitating whether to draw the gun before the two of them. You must know that it hasn't been peaceful here lately, but for someone like him who goes out to make a living, he makes more money.
"What do you do?" Lotus didn't care about his little movements at all.
"I am. . . Tour guide, right! Zashiqi emphasized: "I'm a tour guide, you should be going to Bangjagara, right?" Is it for the old house on the cliff? I can take you there, but..."
Lotus took the dollar Li Jiani handed him and threw it over, "I want to see Hegong." ”
"No problem! Generous guests! No problem at all! Zasic grinned and patted his chest, this is probably a few thousand dollars!
"I hope what you say is true."
Lotus didn't know how strict the class system of the Dogon was, but a leader like Tagon certainly wouldn't be something he could see if he wanted to.
"Yes, I said it. Uh.." Zasic stared at the gun in the masked woman's hand, swallowed his saliva, and said with difficulty: "I... I mean.. I'll do my best. There is no charge if you don't see it. ”
"Good, get out of the car and keep up." Lotus had no intention of taking his car, and walked forward without looking back.
Zasic struggled, gritted his teeth, and still put the dollar and pistol in a shabby black satchel, closed the car door and bumpily followed. (To be continued.) )
