"On February 4, 1647 in the Gregorian calendar, I led an expedition of 25 men from Ecuador on the Pacific coast to find a new gold source on the South American continent. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
"On April 7, 1647 in the Gregorian calendar, after more than two months of climbing, we crossed the majestic Andes Mountains and reached the vicinity of the Napo River, where we lost three men due to disease and the attack of poisonous snakes."
"On April 12, 1647 AH we set up camp on the banks of the Napo River, and after a week's rest, the party was back on the road and went downstream along the banks of the Napo."
"On April 21, 1647 in the Gregorian calendar, the situation was very bad, and most of the area on both sides of the Napo River was marshy land, and behind the swamp was a reckless and dangerous rainforest, uninhabited, only frequented by ferocious wild animals. We were starving, many people contracted yellow fever, people began to die in large numbers, and the ranks were very demoralized. ”
"On May 1, 1647 in the Gregorian calendar, we sailed downstream along the Napo River in a two-masted schooner built there."
"On November 1, 1647 in the Gregorian calendar, there were only 12 of us left, we were lost in the Amazon rainforest, we were looking for the way to the river, I firmly believe that the river will lead us to the sea, and we will be saved. An unbearable and irresistible calamity, mosquitoes and the damp environment of the rainforest, often afflict us. ”
"On the 5th of November, 1647 in the Gregorian calendar, we were lost in a valley, and oh my God, what did we find, a city, and all the palaces and temples in the city, decorated with a great deal of gold and silver, and it was so splendid and splendid that it was a mountain of gold and silver treasures, a wealth that is too great to describe in any words.
"Due to the amount of treasure, there were only 12 people left in our team, and we only brought a small part of the treasure. Still, it was a great asset, and I marked the location of it in my diary in order to be able to find it again in the future. ”
"On November 7, 1647 in the Gregorian calendar, we left the Valley of Treasure with the gold and silver treasures."
"On November 11, 1647 in the Gregorian calendar, we rediscovered the Marañon River, which flowed down the Marañón River, and at the mouth of the Marañón River, a much larger river appeared before our eyes.
"I knew that this was the Amazon River, and I ordered to go at full speed to the lower reaches of this great river, and the time passed day by day, week by week, and at last we saw the ocean, and the day we reached the ocean was January 24, 1648 in the Gregorian calendar, and I will never forget this day of hope."
"From Ecuador in the Pacific Ocean to seeing the Atlantic Ocean, walking through the Amazon rainforest for more than a year was a nightmare that I never dared to think about it again."
"On January 28, 1648 in the Gregorian calendar, we built a bigger sailing ship, loaded with gold and silver treasures, and sailed out to sea, damn it, we ran into pirates!!"
The diary is no longer written here, and Wu Tianyuan already knows Fred's ending. His diary later fell into the hands of an English pirate who did not know Spanish and missed a great treasure.
On the last page of the diary a map is drawn,
On the map, a meandering Marañón River was drawn, and about 2 cm on the map on the left bank of the middle and lower Marañón River, an 'x' was marked to indicate that this was the location of the Treasure Valley, and some symbols such as mountains, rivers, valleys, and swamps were used to describe the environment around the Treasure Valley.
"Let's go to the Golden City!"
Two days later, after passing through the swamp, the group came to a high mountain. Wu Tianyuan took out the map from his backpack and pointed his finger at the location of the mountain on the map. Then he swiped his finger across the map, taking a spot in a long stretch of mountains, and muttered to himself, "The Treasure Valley should be here." ”
"This is the valley."
All found a valley, very large, densely wooded, overgrown with branches and vines. The ground was covered with a thick layer of dead leaves, dark and damp, and the air smelled of decay.
"Look, everyone!"
Wang Hong suddenly realized that there was an ancient city at the bottom of the valley, which was the ancient city full of gold and gems written in Fred's expedition diary.
Wu Tianyuan looked up, his eyes were all green, green leaves and tangled vines obscured his vision, and only a few rays of sunlight leaked out of the gaps left by the dense leaves and vines, shining into the valley.
The bottom of the valley is completely obscured by trees and vines, and the ancient city below is not visible from above. If the ancient city had not been covered by trees and vines, the scale of the ancient city below would have been revealed on the map long ago.
The ancient city is very large, but after years and wind and rain, it has become very vicissitudes, with mottled walls, moss-covered steps, and big trees rooting in the cracks of the walls. From the tall and gorgeous palaces and temples of the ancient city, the walls made of polished and smooth bluestone, and the huge carved and very delicate human sculptures standing in the center of the city, as well as the tall pyramid buildings, etc., it can be seen that a very advanced ancient civilization lived here a long time ago, and they built this city.
"This is the pottery of the Acre people, and it is here!"
In the ancient city, Wu Tianyuan found some pottery, the surface of the pottery is very smooth, the shape is beautiful, elegant decoration, beautiful geometric patterns and brilliant colors. It shows that the Akha people have remarkable polishing techniques, exquisite production techniques and rich and diverse decorative styles in pottery making.
The Akha people were also skilled in metal smelting and processing, as can be seen from the bronze knives, swords, spear tips, axes and other weapons found by Wu Tianyuan in the city of Acre, as well as production tools such as sickles and axes.
Wu Tianyuan found various processing workshop houses and processing tools, as well as various handicrafts such as gold, silver, copper, precious stones, leather, textiles, feathers, and pottery in the city of Acre. In addition to this, the Akha people also have a fairly well-developed ruling class system and religious system.
The streets and squares in the ancient city are neatly arranged, and there are temples, royal palaces, administrative offices, noble residences, game fields, schools and other buildings in the city, and there is a large market in the north of the city that can be inferred. There is also a 10-kilometre-long waterproof causeway around the city, and two stone troughs that draw fresh water from the land.
Wu Tianyuan said excitedly: "We have discovered a fourth ancient civilization that is not inferior to the Mayan civilization, the Aztec civilization, the Inca civilization, and the three ancient civilizations of the Americas, the Acre civilization!" ”
Everyone walked to the center of the city, and there is a pyramid here, and the pyramid of Acre is different from the pyramid of Egypt, but has some similarities with the pyramid of Maya. The appearance is flat-topped, the tower body is square, the bottom is big and the top is small, layer upon layer, and a square stone tablet is erected on the platform at the top of the tower.
Wu Tianyuan climbed to the top of the Akha pyramid and found that the stone tablet was engraved with various patterns and words. A dozen concentric circles of size and size resemble a target, and below is a constellation-like pattern composed of dots and lines.
He studied this pattern for a long time, and finally confirmed that the constellation-like pattern composed of dots and lines was a constellation chart. They represent the constellation Virgo, the rings represent the solar system, and one of the rings represents the Earth.
"It turned out to be a planetary map of the solar system drawn by the Akha people!"
"Could this mural be Atlantis?" (To be continued.) )
