"Xiaohu, you should be able to roughly understand what is going on, right?" Not long after eating, beside the bluestone slab near the fence outside the house, Tang Yuxuan said to the lazy little tiger beside him.

Xiaohu stretched his waist, wiped his eyes with his paws, and then lay on the grass stomping, crossed his legs, if he didn't know that it was a smart computer, it was really a spectacle, and then said: "If I'm not mistaken, we did come to Maya, but there are some differences from what we know about Maya in reality."

"Some are out of the people, what are the differences"? Tang Yuxuan hurriedly asked.

"Actually, I've told you a lot, I checked some of the information in my head today, maybe I told you!" Xiaohu stared at Tang Yuxuan with half-squinted eyes and said.

"What information? Let's hear it", he still wants to know more about Maya's information, after all, he is not familiar with Maya.

Listen, Xiaohu raised his voice and began to say: The important sites of Mayan culture are distributed in the Americas, such as the city of Teotihua in the central plateau of Mexico, the city of Copán in the valley of the Usuuxinta River at the southern tip of the Yucatan Peninsula, and the city of Uxmal in the northern Yucatan Peninsula, etc.

"Wasn't the Maya a nation of many cities"? Tang Yuxuan asked curiously.

"How is it possible, Maya is just a general term for the tribes in this region, such as the Teotihua City Empire, the Black Empire, which are called Maya cities by later generations, like the Mayan city-state ruins that we found later, such as the Mayan city-state ruins Tikar, Cofan, Palenque, Asilan, Tulon, Chichen Itza, etc., may have been empires larger than Teotihuacan at that time"! Xiaohu told some of the information found in Mayan information.

"But that's not right! According to this ratio, the whole of America in the 20th century combined was not as big as the Maya is now"! So how can this be explained? And since we have cracked some Mayan texts and know the existence of cities like Teotihuacan, how do we hear about the Teotihuacan Empire now? How to explain this.

The continuous questions stunned Xiaohu, arched up and looked at Tang Yuxuan with a surprised gaze, quickly searched for the answer in his mind, and then replied: "I don't have any information in my computer, but according to the deeds we have encountered in the past few days, it can be inferred ~ There must have been some major accident in the middle, and many lands may have sunk to the bottom and sunk into the ground, so the area of Central America has become so small now, which can explain why the Mayan ruins were called 'city' when they were discovered, and they were called ' at that time The empire is gone, and there may be unknown Mayan ruins in the vanished lands"!

"Oh"? Tang Yuxuan looked at Xiaohu as if he didn't understand.

Xiaohu continued: "Through the archaeological exploration of the Mayan ruins, we know that these cities are very large, and some cities are several kilometers long and wide. The city is home to many splendid temples and palaces. The walls, pillars, steps, and steles of the buildings are intricately carved and in some places there are vivid frescoes depicting celebratory processions, tribute offerings, prisoners of war, and battles, demonstrating the high artistic achievements of the Maya.

In addition, the multi-level pyramid temple building is strange and magical, and it is amazing. For example, several multi-level pyramids in the city of Uxmal reflect the original concept of the earth by the Maya, who divided the earth into layers with 13 worlds each; The same is true for the lower part of the Earth, with 9 worlds per layer. Each layer is in charge of the "Realm God".

The Mayans believed in the god of the sun, the moon, the god of Quetzalcoatl, the god of wind, the god of rain, the god of the earth and the god of agriculture, especially the god of corn. They used divination to connect people with God.

The Maya sacrificed to the gods on a large scale, and human sacrifices were once popular in addition to livestock, birds, melons and fruits.

After BC, the Maya had hieroglyphs, including many pictographs and phonetic and syllabic symbols, which were generally written on the bark of fig trees with small brushes. For example, the famous "hieroglyphic staircase" in the city of Cobain complex is a monumental building unique to the Mayans. However, most of the Mayan scripts that have survived to this day are inscriptions engraved on stone tablets, pottery, and bone vessels, and most of them are still unrecognizable.

The Mayan civilization had grand architecture and a wealth of hieroglyphs. These buildings show that the Maya had a highly developed economy and culture.

"Wow, it seems that Maya really has a lot of unsolved secrets!" Tang Yuxuan said with some excitement.

"What's so exciting about this, even after 500 years, we didn't have a thorough understanding of the secrets of the Maya, so after the interstellar flywheel was built, the Maya was the first choice as the test site, no, there was a run to your backward era, which is depressing"!

"Ha, what's there to be depressed about, so that you can meet me!" Tang Yuxuan forgot that Xiaohu had caused himself to fly to Maya, and comforted.

"Hmph, that's a good thing to meet you according to your will?" Xiaohu looked at him with disdain.

"Ha, of course, how about the two of them, they are born to be a pair"! Tang Yuxuan said with a smile.

"You still don't listen!" Seeing that he was far away, Xiaohu couldn't help but say. "Oh, then you go on," Tang Yuxuan said.

In 1839, American explorers Johnlioyd Stephens and Frederik Cather Wood, inspired by an ancient legend, cut through the shadowy rainforest, but instead of finding the beautiful princess hypnotized by the sorcerer, they found the ruins of an ancient city that had been abandoned for thousands of years.

On the ruins of the old city, known as Copan, tall monuments are entangled in rattans and lost among thorns; The majestic pyramids are covered with thick trees and turn into barren hills. Stephens: They were stunned by what they saw, and these ruins represented the glorious Mayan civilization.

The Mayan civilization is one of the world's most famous ancient civilizations, and the only one born in a tropical jungle rather than a large river basin.

The Mayans possessed an ability to think abstractly that dwarfed the civilizations of the Old World at the same time.

They created an accurate system of mathematics and an astronomical calendar, as well as a hieroglyphic system that is still to be deciphered.

The Mayans placed the greatest importance on the observation of the sun and moon, were able to calculate the time of the occurrence of solar and lunar eclipses, and had included all seven planets in their study. Their calculations of Venus's orbital cycle are in perfect agreement with modern scientific measurements. The Mayan calendar system consists of the divine calendar; , solar calendar and; Long Chronicles; Compose. The Maya had a unique mathematical system, in which the most advanced part of the system was the use of symbols, which was invented and used about 800 years before Europe.

The applicability and scientific nature of the Mayan mathematical system allowed them to solve a variety of difficult problems in many scientific and technological activities.

Among the ancient civilizations of the world, with the exception of Arabic numerals, which originated in India, Mayan numerals are considered to be the most advanced.

The Mayan hieroglyphs are truly a book of heaven for modern people, and its mystery remains unsolved to this day.

Mayan hieroglyphs are mainly similar to circles or ellipses, and the lines of the characters are more dependent on the undulations of the figures.

Copán is the most developed area for the study of Mayan hieroglyphs, and its monuments and buildings have the most beautiful hieroglyphic symbols, the most refined carvings, and the largest number of words, for example, in the ruins of Copan, there is a staircase of sixty or seventy steps, made of more than 2,500 pieces of processed ashlar, which is a monumental building, and the stairway is built on the hillside to the altar at the top of the hill. It is 10 meters wide, and there is a spotted python carved on each side, and the python tail is on the top of the hill: each square brick of the ladder is engraved with hieroglyphs, and each glyph is carved with patterns around it, and the ladder is engraved with more than 2,000 hieroglyphic symbols, it is the longest inscription of Mayan hieroglyphs, and it is also a rare precious cultural relic in the world's inscriptions, so it is called the hieroglyphic ladder. ”

Not only that, Copán's economic and political power is second only to Tikal and far surpasses that of other city-states, and culturally it can stand side by side with Tikal, or even slightly surpass, some scholars believe that the importance of Copan is by no means below Tikal, they are like twin peaks, they are the two greatest beacons of the Mayan civilization. But after all, it's all speculation by experts, and I don't know what the truth is." Xiaohu finally stopped.

"Finished"? Tang Yuxuan couldn't help asking.

After speaking, I only found this information for the time being.

"It seems that this is really challenging! I like it", for these, Tang Yuxuan was extremely excited.

"I don't know if I'll survive! How happy are you"? Regarding Brother Xuan's tenacious character, the well-informed Xiaohu also said speechlessly.

"That's right! I forgot I was still in Maya! Hey, whatever! There must be a road before the horse reaches the mountain, and it is a section to walk! Since we can come here, we should go back," Tang Yuxuan encouraged.

"Big brother, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain! You're so hopeful about life!" , Xiaohu said in a slightly striking tone.

"Man! You should spend every day happily, anyway, no matter how the day is, why not face it positively"! Tang Yuxuan said with a smile.

"Brother Xuan, I admire you", Xiaohu couldn't help but say after listening to it.

"This Zifeng is really, let's come out and wait for her to go to Gulin to patrol together, why haven't you come out after waiting for so long?" Tang Yuxuan couldn't help but start complaining.

"I just told you to go play with the blue bird, but you didn't go, and now you can only wait for Zifeng", Xiaohu couldn't help but say.

"Here", Zifeng just came out of the third room on the right side of the courtyard, but Xiaohu and Tang Yuxuan were startled again......
