Chapter 1147 Origin I (for the green BB)
(Thanks to the double encouragement of the £ end tip and monthly pass of the book city channel friends, the encouragement of the monthly pass with the wind at °C, and the encouragement of the simple de person tip)
The speed at which the news spread was somewhat beyond Liu Yunxuan's expectations.
That night, some pictures and videos were circulated online. It is not known whether it was filmed by the workers of the castle or by the workers of the engineering team.
Although not so clear, the crystal skulls and stone carvings can be vaguely seen from a few photos.
Connie and the others arrived on the island at dinner time and brought all the idle members of the security company with them. This has become the first sequence of tasks for the company, and there is no room for error.
There was no accident, and I received a call from the Mexican side the next morning. The idea of looking at the stone carvings was suggested because they felt that they had some connection to Mexico.
This is also a legitimate request that can be agreed, and perhaps more people will come and want to see these stone carvings in the future.
The Spanish government also called, and the reason was that they wanted to come and see if the ship was theirs, and if so, which one it was.
"Hehe, this Spain is also powerful enough. At the beginning, they were crazy about colonial expansion, and their fleets ran everywhere, and they were sunk by others, and they didn't know which one was which. After Liu Yunxuan hung up the phone, the fat man said with a smile.
After discovering this, this was the only topic of conversation last night. The most frequently mentioned are shipwrecks that were sunk across the ocean during the Spanish colonial period, or warships that were wrecked in hurricanes.
And some of these shipwrecks belong to the kind that cannot be salvaged, so the salvage right is also auctioned off, anyway, whoever has the ability can fish it. Whether you can catch something good or not depends on your life.
It is precisely because the original ships were so scattered and the time passed so long ago that even the Spanish government's record of some ships is not so clear. I can only remember some of the more famous ones, or those who went out to loot money and didn't come back.
"Have you counted the number of gold coins and jewels? If you look at it, you can play with some of it, so much. Liu Yunxuan said with a smile.
"There's not much interest, just a few tricks for one person. Anyway, when do you want it, I'll get it from your side. The fat man said nonchalantly.
If there are only a few or even dozens of gold coins, everyone's interest can be higher. But all these gold coins were counted together, and there were more than 12,000.
Looking at so many gold coins, except for the shock at the beginning, the big guys are not very interested, and those gems feel like that now.
"Actually, I still don't understand when that jade pendant came over here, and how to put it in the jar." The fat man continued.
He didn't sleep last night. Just think about this problem, but if you think about it, you can't think of four, five or six. This question is too profound to understand.
"You ask me, I ask who to go, I can only see Michelle tinkering and understand. Or when people from Mexico come over, we can also find out what these stone carvings are for. Liu Yunxuan shook his head and said.
Anyway, the things on the ship should have nothing to do with the Mayan civilization and the Aztec Empire. It's just that now the Mayan civilization is gone, and only some ruins remain. The Aztec Empire also fell. None of them died, and they left behind the legend of the Aztec gold curse.
"Andy. It is estimated that Michelle has already found out about it. When she's rested, maybe we'll know where these things come from. Charlie on the side said with a smile.
Michelle is also very inquisitive, and she didn't sleep all night last night. Thanks to the two little girls, they don't hate Liu Yunxuan now, otherwise they would have been wronged at night. It is also a very distressing thing to meet a mother who loves to learn.
Michelle was too tired, too. I didn't even eat breakfast and went straight to catch up on sleep, but I was very happy to see the expression on her face. It should be eyebrows.
"Boss, the experts sent by the Mexican government have arrived." That's when Connie walked in and said.
"These people are getting closer, and they're all ready. You arrange for someone to watch them and let them take a picture of those stone carvings, and let them go back to study if they want to study it. Liu Yunxuan said with a smile.
My daughter-in-law spent the night last night. It should have been discovered, and he didn't want these people to interrupt his daughter-in-law's train of thought again.
The Spanish came later, and there were more military personnel, which can be seen from the way they spoke and did things.
Moreover, they came to study the ship and other weapons on board, and Liu Yunxuan also allowed them to set up tents nearby. He also knew that the ship had been badly damaged, and there was only an empty shelf left, and these people who came over probably couldn't judge it in a short time.
"Yun Xuan, come here, I have something to tell you." Michelle, who didn't get up until the afternoon, beckoned to Liu Yunxuan excitedly.
"Tsk, our wife is smart, or an amateur, and she found out in one night's work, which is much better than the people sent from Mexico." Liu Yunxuan first praised Michelle, and then he continued.
"But should we feed the baby girls first? I gave them some powdered milk. ”
Hearing Liu Yunxuan's reminder, Michelle playfully stuck out her tongue. She forgot about her two daughters with such joy, and she hadn't seen her for nearly twenty hours.
"Andy, what are you going to do with all these gold coins, gems, and gold products?" After Michelle left, Robert asked.
"Let's leave it like this for now, and if the ship can be repaired when the time comes, we will make it a small museum, and whoever is interested will go in and visit it. If we need money urgently, we will consider selling it. Liu Yunxuan took out a cigar and lit it.
He had hidden the Aztec coin in the cigar room, so now he had to smoke all the cigars he wanted to come outside. The reason he gave everyone was also very good, now that the weather is good, smoking outside is more emotional than smoking in the house, and there will not be such a big smell of smoke on his body, which will make the children hate themselves.
"But speaking of which, in the old days, those shipbuilding skills were really good. I also took a closer look at the ship today, and it seems that there is nothing wrong with the main wood. The fat man said with emotion.
"Haha, of course, not only here, but also the skills of our domestic craftsmen in the past were also very powerful. It's just that a ban on the sea in the Ming Dynasty made everyone miserable. Ah Yong on the side said with a smile.
When Zheng He went to the West, what a beautiful thing it was. Can it be done later? Not to mention going to the Western Ocean, this sea is people's territory, you can run as much as you want, and people in your own country can only watch.
This is a sad thing in history, and everyone understands it more or less. did not shy away from Charlie and Robert, anyway, they counted all the countries that invaded China from beginning to end.
Waiting for Michelle to serve the two little girls, Liu Yunxuan's side was almost pumped, and the grooves that should be spit out were vented, so they all sat opposite Michelle like elementary school students.
"I'll just briefly say it, in fact, this has something to do with the fall of the Mayan civilization and the Aztec Empire." Michelle said after tugging the ends of her hair.
"According to historical records, the population of the Mayan civilization has plummeted to about 25% under the influence of civil wars, natural disasters, and plagues, and the resources accumulated over the centuries have been almost consumed. At this time, the Aztecs arrived in the Mexican basin and found that a civilization had been cultivated in this fertile land. ”
"In your oft-mentioned parlance, the Aztecs came here and picked up a leak. Eventually they sacked the Mayan city, occupied it, and lived here. ”
"The Aztecs were arguably the last characters on the stage of ancient America. They inherited some of the Mayan culture, but that's all, more of it was based on some of the experiences of their predecessors. ”
"They built a lot of religious buildings, all of which were grandiose in design and consumed a lot of resources. What is even more terrifying is that they resorted to human sacrifice, and the massacre of a religious sacrifice even reached 100,000 people. ”
"Oh my God, if they continue to kill like this, how many of them won't be enough for their own people to kill and play." The fat man said in amazement.
How low the fertility level was in ancient times, if you continue to kill like this, the population will definitely grow negatively. How many people will be left in the end?
"Yes, in fact, the day the Aztecs occupied the Maya, they began to decline. Because of their rule, the technology and culture accumulated in the Americas for hundreds of years have been regressing. Michelle nodded and said.
When the Spaniards landed on this part of the Americas, the decline of the precarious Aztec regime was accelerated. And their main weapons of attack are ferocity and disease. ”
"The thirteen crystal skulls should belong to the products of the Mayan civilization, those clay pots are a little difficult to judge, they should also belong to the Mayan civilization, and those stone carvings belong to the Aztec civilization."
"I think there is some ambitious colonist general who discovered and collected these things on the ship, and wanted to use them to develop his own power. Unexpectedly, he encountered the eruption of a volcano and lost his life. This can be judged by the fact that the warship did not have any name markings. ”
Michelle spoke quickly, but everyone listened attentively. I thought about it in my heart for a while, and I agreed with it.
The demise of civilizations and the change of dynasties are sometimes so cruel. (To be continued......)
