The Crystal Man Skull is a model of a human skull made of quartz. Prior to the twenty-first century, these models were claimed by some museums to have been made by the ancient American Aztecs or Mayans. But later evidence suggests that it was actually completed in the mid-19th century, which means that they are fakes.
However, if there is a fake, there must be the real thing. It is precisely because of the legends that have been handed down from ancient times that the crystal skull has been forged. It is still impossible to prove that someone first created the skull in modern times, and then traveled back in time to make up a legend to pass it on. Therefore, the legend of the crystal skull, whether the crystal skull exists, and whether the crystal skull is true or false remains to be solved.
But this problem is too pediatric for Wu Di. There is no need for Tianshu to make a separate identification, just from the amount of aura just now, he can know that this crystal skull is absolutely real, which is even more certain than its material is crystal!
According to the book "The Mystery of the Crystal Skull", there are 52 crystal skulls. There are 13 Mayans, and the rest are scattered in sacred places around the world, including many other indigenous tribes in the Americas, as well as Tibetan and Australian indigenous tribes.
Legend has it that 12 of the 52 crystal skulls have movable mandibles, known as "singing skulls", which store a wealth of knowledge and are a gift from aliens from Sirius to earthlings. To aid in the spread of knowledge, the aliens created 40 more mandible-immobile skulls on Earth, called "talking skulls".
Wu Di looked at the jaw of the crystal skull, wondering if this skull was one of the twelve singing ones, or if it was one of those stupid people who could only talk. But no matter what it is, as long as it is true, its value cannot be overstated.
Wu Di shook his head and remembered a question. Even a real crystal skull shouldn't shine in this black box in the mud. But the scene we see now is definitely not caused by the clairvoyant eye ignoring the darkness, is it still equipped with a light source?
He refocused his gaze on the small black box and searched carefully. Hehe, there is indeed another light source here, but it is not embedded in the skull, but from the corner of the chest, where there is a night pearl as big as an egg!
The Pearl of the Night has been proven by modern science to be nothing more than an ore with a special mineral composition. It has nothing to do with pearls produced by mussels.
Modern people divide the night pearl into two categories, one is the permanent luminous night pearl, mainly because it contains some radioactive isotopes, which can excite itself and emit light. The other type is called the long afterglow phosphorescent-type night pearl, the activator in their phosphors is not radioactive, and must be excited by external sunlight, ultraviolet rays and other light sources to emit light. And this should be a permanent luminous type of night pearl, but I am afraid that after taking it out, I will have to do a radioactive test to see if it is harmful to the human body.
Wu Di stared at the box while thinking wildly. There's a serious problem here. Because the crystal skulls found today are claimed to have been found in the remains of the post-classical Mayan civilization, and at that time, the center of Mayan culture should have been in Mexico. If this batch of things can finally prove to be relics of the pre-classical period. The difference between more than 600 years or even 1,000 years is enough to overturn almost all the research results of the Mayan civilization today!
"Hopefully, they won't be proven to be an offshoot of an extraterrestrial civilization on Earth, and then someday in the 9th and 10th centuries, they will collectively return to Mars......"
Wu Di thought maliciously. While looking through another chest. What he saw before him made him look forward to the box, but what he saw disappointed him. There's a lot of gold coins on the side! Could it be that the Mayans already had this kind of gold coin with intricate patterns? This is another game-changing discovery!
It's a pity that a few of them were verified casually. He found that these were Spanish gold coins from the 16th and 17th centuries, and although they were also very collectible, they were a bit too small compared to those ancient Mayan artifacts.
"Perhaps, it is possible to find out the provenance of these Mayan artifacts from these gold coins......"
Wu Di retracted his gaze, it was already dark, he was already satisfied to be able to find these things, as for whether there was still or not, how much there were, everything was left to tomorrow.
"Fifth brother, the things here are all natural and pollution-free wild, and they are full of exotic flavors! Come, can you taste this meat, which is more fragrant than our pork? ”
"Well, this one is delicious, fragrant but not greasy, and very biting, by the way, this is the wild boar of the Americas?"
The sparrow scratched his scalp,
"Fifth brother, are you sure you want to know?"
Wu Di's gaze swept over the faces of several other people, and he saw something bad in their gazes, and then he shook his head,
"Forget it, I'll just be responsible for eating."
He hadn't eaten a piece of meat like that since, hoping it wasn't something disgusting, but he had heard of a giant earthworm that tasted like that......
The military advisor observed the steaming mist on the swamp with a flashlight, took out a small instrument and looked at it, and said:
"It should be fine, mainly water mist, the content of harmful gases is very low. But to be on the safe side, it's still necessary for two people to keep vigil together, and if you find something wrong, you should immediately remind each other! ”
Several people nodded cautiously, most of the swamp was full of rotting branches and leaves and animal carcasses, so sometimes the season was not right, and there would be a large miasma. It's like gas, it can poison people unknowingly and die in their sleep, but it's much scarier than some aggressive animals.
It was still early, and although it was a day's trek, Wu Di didn't want to go to bed so early. However, there were unknown dangers lurking everywhere here, and they did not dare to turn around, so they had to lie in the cramped tent and reminisce about the discoveries of the evening, and try to sort them out.
The Mayan cultural relics currently on display are mainly in the post-classical civilization period, and although there is still a certain amount of controversy about the origin of Mayan jade culture, it is indeed a universally recognized conclusion that began after the classical period.
However, judging from the craftsmanship and shape of these things, there seems to be no big difference from those things, but how can things of post-classical civilization appear in Guatemala, the center of neoclassical civilization? Or are those unlucky historians and archaeologists completely wrong about the origin of the Mayan jade culture?
One of the most important questions is that since this is not a relic of the ancient Mayans, then these things must have been brought over by someone to discard or hidden, so who did it?
Guatemala became a Spanish colony in the 15th century, a process that lasted for more than 300 years until its independence in the 18th century. If these things were looted by the colonists, then why not be shipped back to China early? If it wasn't looted by the colonists, then why were there a large number of ancient Spanish gold coins?
He remembered the treasure found at the bottom of the Royal Lake in Burma, and the two were similar, but when he thought about it, they were very different. This is the real treasure that is easy to recognize, and the inheritance is hard to find!
"Strategist, do you know the specific age of the formation of this swamp?"
The military advisor sitting next to him shook his head and said:
"Fifth brother, the age of this forest should not exceed five hundred years, and from this point of inference, the formation time of this swamp may only be more than three hundred years, which is not very long. But that's all my personal reasoning, and we've been here for too little time to look for some evidence. ”
"Evidence?"
"Yes, every forest can tell from some characteristics how long it has been around. And the wetlands and swamps in the forest are much later than the time when the forest was formed. Knowing the age of formation, we can roughly deduce the degree of danger, and I guess there should not be much danger tonight. ”
Wu Di shook his head, the characteristics of the forest? I really don't understand these things, so let's wait until I go back and check the information.
When the first rays of sunlight appeared over the swamp in the morning, Wu Di was awakened by the sound of animal chirping, he looked at the empty sleeping bag next to him, stretched his waist, and still couldn't compare with these professional guys! But it's not necessarily a good thing to sleep in the wetland for a long time, it's been so long, and my hands and feet are still a little numb.
As soon as they stepped out of the tent, he was stunned by the fog in front of him, and he couldn't see anything from twenty meters away, so how could they get into the swamp later?
"It's okay, fifth brother, as soon as the sun comes out, this fog will dissipate quickly. You see over there, it's the same when I get up in the morning, and it's all right now. ”
Wu Di nodded, I hope so, although it is definitely impossible to take away the Mayan treasure this time, but his priority is not yet a clue!
He looked around, the sparrow was cooking soup not far away, and the military advisor and the big cow were tying something like a raft with a branch, and he smiled and leaned over.
It was a very small raft, about the size of half a single bed, and the military advisors had already tied three of them, and were in the process of tying the fourth.
"Why do you want so much of this?"
"Fifth brother, this thing is better than anything else in the swamp! It's a pity that there is less rope, otherwise you have to tie two more to be safe, but you have to rely on it to save your life when it is critical! ”
Wu Dixin said, follow the fifth brother, I'm afraid you won't need this thing at all!
"Fifth brother, it's very difficult to find a python in such a large swamp, and even if you find it, you can't catch it, we ......" (To be continued. )
