Chapter 222: The Spire
The Mayans were a branch of the ancient Indians and were the only people in the Americas who left written records. They constitute a diverse indigenous peoples of the Americas, living in southern Mexico and northern Central America. "Maya" is a collective title for the convenience of their collective, which includes people who have contributed some degree of cultural and linguistic heritage to the region. But it also includes many different demographic, social and ethnic groups, each with its own particular traditions, culture and historical characteristics.
The Mayan civilization is one of the oldest and most intelligent tribal races
Named after the Indian Maya, it is a great civilization created independently by the American Indian Maya people under the condition of isolation from the ancient civilizations of Asia, Africa and Europe.
The Mayan civilization was an amazing achievement of humanity before Columbus discovered the American continent. It has made extremely important contributions to science, agriculture, culture, art and many other aspects. In contrast, the other two major civilizations born in the Western Hemisphere, the Aztec civilization and the Inca civilization, are not the same as the Mayan civilization.
However, what puzzles people is that as the only ancient civilization in the world that was born in a tropical jungle rather than a large river basin, the Mayan civilization is as mysterious as its miraculous rise and development. In the 8th century AD, the Maya abandoned their highly developed civilization and migrated en masse. Each central city created terminated with new construction, the city was completely abandoned, and the bustling metropolis became deserted. The Mayan civilization disappeared overnight into the tropical jungles of the Americas.
Restoration of the ancient Mayan city
Restoration of the ancient Mayan city
In the thirties of the 19th century, the American John? Stephens first discovered the ruins of an ancient Mayan civilization in the tropical jungles of Honduras. Since then, archaeologists from all over the world have discovered many abandoned ruins of ancient Mayan cities in the jungles and wastelands of Mesoamerica. The Mayans created a splendid and brilliant civilization without metal tools or means of transportation, relying only on the primitive production tools of the Neolithic Age.
The Mayan civilization was able to carve and carve solid stone at the highest level in the world. Through long-term observation of celestial phenomena, we have mastered the solar eclipse cycle and the movement laws of the sun, moon and Venus. Carvings, faience, and murals have high artistic value, and are known as the "Greece of the Americas".
The Maya were deeply religious, and their cultural life was religious. They worship the god of the sun, the god of rain, the god of grains, the god of death, the god of war, the god of wind, the god of corn, etc. The sun god resides above the gods and is revered as the embodiment of God. In addition, ancestor worship is practiced, believing in the immortality of the soul. The Mayan state was also responsible for religious affairs, and the capital was the religious center.
The Americas were vast and had vast rivers, but the Mayans built their civilization on the tropical rainforest, a harsh environment prone to epidemics and wild animals. Many scientists have made tireless explorations in this regard, and some scientists have made this speculation: the Mayans deliberately avoided the fireworks of the world because they were creatures from outside the world, and if they built their settlements in prosperous cities and rich land, they would inevitably have frequent contact with people on the neighboring earth, and inevitably reveal some secrets that they did not want to expose. Therefore, although the living environment is poor, it can adapt to their living conditions. Therefore, they are willing to live in areas with poor conditions. The harsh environment, the fearsome beast, for them, is not a threat at all.
All in all, this is a mysterious country, and Li Zhi naturally chose the second stop here because of curiosity.
As soon as they came to this mysterious country, a rain came unexpectedly, although it was raining, but the temperature outside was not low, if it wasn't for the fact that they changed into summer clothes in the battleship, it was estimated that it would not take a while to sweat profusely.
Although there is a jungle blocking, Li Zhi can easily find the traces of the Mayans, all of which he does not need to use a technology factory, with his current cultivation, he can easily find a way out in this tropical jungle.
In the face of these jungles, as well as the possible poisonous insects and beasts, Catherine and Ava added a magical defense shield to them.
It is a very magic-consuming thing to bless others with a magic defense shield, but the two girls with a deep background and many treasures can completely ignore those consumptions.
These two queens are like the spokesmen of the gods, and even if the magicians in the same realm as them in the clan are first-class masters, when they fight with them, there is a big gap between their combat power and them, it is like two realms behind, so what their clansmen don't like the most is that they compete, it is simply a sad blow.
With the protection of the magic cover, neither the leaves nor the branches can touch their bright and delicate skin, and this magic cover is simply a must-have artifact for jungle tourism.
Li Ningxiang muttered, "I don't know when I'll be able to add a magic cover to myself." ”
Although none of the four women were able to practice the Dao, Ava found that they could practice magic, and after testing, their magical talents were among the top geniuses.
Now there are many people in the Tang royal family who can practice magic, including Li Zhi's mother and queen eldest grandson, in a few years, there will be a group of magicians in Datang who have never appeared in history, and the leading figure is the queen of Datang.
The dignified queen led the army to the battle, although this cannot be said to be unprecedented, but at least it was a shocking move.
Li Zhi didn't know what kind of changes he, the queen mother, would bring to Datang if she became a heroine on the battlefield.
It is also strange to say that it is almost difficult for a man in the Tang Dynasty to find a person who is suitable for cultivating magic, but it is very easy for a woman to find a person who can cultivate magic, Li Zhi thought that this is the creator's preference for Chinese women?
They stepped on the green grass without making a sound, and walked quietly forward.
I don't know how long it took, but the careful Wu Meiniang noticed that a spire appeared in the air in the distance, and she hurriedly said to Li Zhi: "Your Majesty, look up and look ahead." ”
Li Zhi looked into the air like a launch, and saw that there was a spire shining in the sunlight in the sky, which made him very surprised, these trees in front of them were almost all towering trees, but how could the spire in the distance penetrate the dense foliage and let himself and others see it, this is really strange.
