Chapter 263 [For the Tribe-Forward]

Surprised, Hu Xiaodao randomly pressed the other five stone troughs in succession, but when he turned around and looked again, he found that the stone door was gradually closing again.

It seems that this mechanism is not triggered, but must be pressed to activate it.

However, this is not difficult to Hu Xiaodao, there are a lot of gravel and more than 20 catties of large stones here, and it is very simple to press it at the same time.

Picking up more than a dozen small stones and large stones one after another, Hu Xiaodao successfully pressed down a total of four stone troughs. Nearly eighty centimeters tall, enough for him to pass.

Jumping off the altar, Hu Xiaodao glanced back at this strange place, it stands to reason that this place shouldn't be cracked so easily, could it be that the people who blew up the mine cave before were more timid?

Coming to the stone gate, a passage appeared in front of Hu Xiaodao's eyes, the difference is that these passages are all dug by manpower, and even dug through the mountain every thirty meters or so, digging out a window, reflecting the entire passage extremely transparently.

Hu Xiaodao didn't even know that this passage was actually carved out along the mountain, which was a bit similar to the feeling of Shu Road.

Hu Xiaodao came to the window of the first mountain and looked out, and the scenery in front of him could be described as shocking.

The sky was blue, countless clouds and mist were shrouded below, and several flocks of birds were flying freely around the peaks, and only now did Hu Xiaodao realize that he was not in the ground but on the mountainside, and it turned out that he had come to a lost country

This passage only turned around three hundred meters, and Hu Xiaodao adjusted the backpack strap with both hands and walked forward.

When I came to the corner, I found that someone had carved out a Z-shaped stone staircase here, leading to the depths of the clouds below the mountain.

Hu Xiaodao did not hesitate, the huge cave in the mountain, the strange black snake, and the mysterious altar completely aroused Hu Xiaodao's interest, and he wanted to know which tribe could create such a remarkable project.

"Regarding the South American continent, it is almost certain that the earliest inhabitants came from the north.

Because the first Americans were not native to this area, they migrated from Asia about 35,000 years ago.

At that time, the earth was in the midst of an ice age, and after the coastline dropped, a land bridge emerged from the Bering Strait between Russia and Alaska, and South and North America were linked together, as evidenced by the mythological similarities between the two places!

The results show that about another 10,000 years later, humans began to settle on the South American continent, and although archaeologists disagree on the exact time and place, they unanimously sketch a general picture of the development of Andean civilization.

In the third millennium BC, more and more nomadic peoples began to settle down.

They usually chose to settle near the river, living in houses made of stone and brick, with wood and whale bones as roofs.

They went out fishing out of swollen seal skins or rafts tied together with reeds tied together to make rafts. They also collect wild tubers or legumes for food.

Gradually, they also learned to stop cotton and take a break to make clothes with preliminary.

Slowly, I learned to put food in a pot of water or heat it with a hot stone to get cooked food.

As for the altar, in fact, from an unknown time, the inhabitants began to build the simplest shrines - digging the earth, burying the dead in it to form a small mound, and a stone was erected in front of the mound.

Not only that, but these mounds also had hearths or fire pits in front of them for people to light up their lives and make sacrifices. In the course of their research, archaeologists also found animal bones, shells, quartz blocks, and chili peppers.

To sum up, South America and our ancient habits are very similar except for recent history.

But what Hu Xiaodao also knows is that 1,800 years ago, the South American continent began to make pottery, and corn and other crops were planted in the idle area, and the water resources began to be effectively managed.

In one of the ancient ruins, archaeologists even found a twelve-mile-long canal used to irrigate farmland.

Crops such as corn, potatoes, beans, avocados, peppers, peanuts, cassava and pumpkin are well developed, but meat is scarce in South America.

In the inland areas, only ducks and knives set foot on the continent for the first meal of guinea pigs, but there is also another meat food on the road, and that is - deer!

However, deer were indeed a luxury that only noble families could eat, because only nobles could hunt deer with the help of hunting dogs and men.

Speaking of which, in fact, South America also has a dark history, that is, sacrifice.

Many tribes in South America offer sacrifices to their gods, and some even use people as the highest level of sacrifice.

Archaeological data show that human sacrifice has a long history in South America.

Moche clay pots dating from 1000 BC have been excavated. Prisoners carved naked were executed in front of the fanged gods at the top of the pyramids or on the top of the mountain.

The Chimu, on the other hand, regularly sacrificed children to please their moon goddess.

The Incas attached great importance to sacrifice, and although they usually sacrificed llamas or guinea pigs, they also slaughtered children during certain special events.

It is said that when the new emperor ascended the throne, he killed 200 children at a time, and the sacrifice was subject to strict procedures, most of which were 10-15 years old, and they were fed and then drunk so that the sacrifice would not be so painful.

In recent decades, rock climbers in Lüxu have encountered caves at a height of more than 5,000 meters, and children around seven years old have been found in the caves, often dressed ornately to worship the sun god. ”

Hu Xiaodao, who played with the audience along the way, finally came to the foot of the mountain in more than half an hour.

In fact, as soon as he walked down the last step, Hu Xiaodao wanted to retract his feet, because the weeds here are simply tall and a little frustrated, and the thick rhizomes have evolved to grow a large section outside the soil, silently swearing that the nutrition and soil here are good.

Once known as the most sparsely populated region in South America, it was also rich in land until 1500 BC.

South America has one of the longest mountain ranges in the world, the Andes, which stretches from Panama all the way to Chile.

Running through the western part of the South American continent, known as the "backbone of South America", the mountain range has many peaks with an altitude of more than 6,000 meters above sea level, the top of the mountain is covered with snow all year round, and the region is rich in mineral resources.

Otherwise, Hu Xiaodao would not have come to find the whereabouts of the Golden City at all, and there would be no such mess today.

After taking out the compass from his back and looking at it for a while, Hu Xiaodao realized that the place where he was in the east, and if he wanted to explore, he would definitely go inland.

Hu Xiaodao's target direction has been locked, that is, - the West. There are countless high mountains and primitive uninhabited areas, and according to Hu Xiaodao's estimate, these natives are accustomed to seclusion in the mountains, and maybe they can find some clues in the jungle.

[I haven't done anything for a long time, and today I will talk about two things, the first is that there has been something at home recently, and the update time may be unstable, but it will still maintain three more. But it's late today, so it's two shifts! If you have time, it may be tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, in short, it will be good to finish this time; The second is the problem of the region.,The place where I'm actually not close to the Golden City has nothing to do with it.,It's just made up for the convenience of writing.,I hope you don't take it seriously.,It's cool to read.,Just a little bit of knowledge.,And this treasure hunt chapter is also to make up for the end of the previous warehouse.,We can't do things like unfinished chapters.,You say, right? 】
