Chapter 914: Maya's Resurrection
"Roar!"
The staff and visitors inside the ruins lay on the ground in a panic, looking at each other at a loss, and the violent earthquake could be felt throughout the ruins and the ruined town of Copan.
"Yes, is it an earthquake?"
"Run to me, watch out for the stone pillars!"
"Don't panic, the earthquake will pass soon, and we are in an open space now, don't worry about being crushed by buildings, everyone lie down!"
Most of the tourists who are interested in visiting the Copan ruins are experienced backpackers, who tend to be relatively calm before an emergency, and the surrounding area of this flat ruins is empty, and it is not a metropolis full of high-rise buildings, so there is no need to worry about being buried by the toppled walls.
"Boom!"
After a few seconds of shaking, the ground returned to calm, and it seemed that it was really just an ordinary earthquake, and Central America at the junction of the tectonic plates is a zone of frequent earthquakes, and it is also often hit by tsunamis, and coastal cities can often suffer heavy casualties.
After the earthquake passed, the tourists who were lying on the ground slowly stood up, breathed a long sigh of relief, and silently recited a false alarm in their hearts.
"Whew, it's good that we're in the ruins, and we'd be unlucky if we still sleep in the hotel, just those old buildings in town......"
"I don't know what the town is like now."
"Can you still get your cell phone signal? My phone just broke. ”
A group of people were talking, and after the initial panic, the earthquake seemed to be less scary, and the question to worry about was how they, the tourists, would get out of here by car after the earthquake.
"Don't worry, it's not far from the capital of Honduras, so help should be there soon......"
But some observant people saw the shadows that were slowly rising not far away, and the ruins of Copan were so small that they could see the slightest movement of wind and grass, not to mention the huge objects rising under the clear sky.
"So, what is that?"
One of the tourists, who was discussing an evacuation plan, suddenly looked in the direction of the north, where they had just walked from what appeared to be the Staircase of Sacred Writing.
But what the eye saw now was not an ancient staircase, but an unsettling phantom with a long tail.
Tail!
A huge tail emerges from the ground, and from its shape and scales it looks like a crocodile's tail, but the strange thing is that this tail is a combination of rock and earth, tan and gray, like a shrunken mountain.
With patience, a few stonemasons could have carved such a tail, but this rock crocodile tail was not a soulless creature that swayed and stretched upwards.
This is not a soulless stone sculpture.
"Boom!"
The ground shook, the crocodile's tail flipped over, and a terrifying beast revealed its massive body.
The largest crocodile ever built is a monarch crocodile, but it is only a dozen meters long.
The crocodile made of rock easily broke through the length of forty meters, and its height was much higher than that of the buildings in the town.
In other words, if the crocodile were to walk through the town, its massive body would fill the streets of the town, and its hard scales would knock down the facades of buildings.
If you were born in the era of dinosaurs, this crocodile can perform two mouths and one dragon.
"Otherworldly beings?"
Although this crocodile is not as huge as other transcendents that can reach hundreds of meters at every turn, no matter how small the transcendent is, it is also extraordinary, not to mention that the length of tens of meters is already an incredible behemoth compared to humans.
All the tourists and staff in the ruins may not be enough for this crocodile to chew a bite, and human armament may not have much effect on it without the use of heavy weapons.
The terrifying crocodile roared at the sky with its bloody mouth, and its loud voice shook everyone's eardrums and the earth. The calmed earth trembled gently again.
"Roar!"
The frightened crowd reacted to the fact that what was coming from the ground just now was not the sound of tectonic plate movement during the earthquake, but the roar of the crocodile.
It stared at a pair of hideous eyes, scanning and overlooking the entire Copan ruins, and the hard brown surface seemed to reveal the breath of a living thing, and everyone who saw it with these eyes trembled from the soul of their hearts.
"Yes, yes...... The crocodile deity in Mayan mythology, the Kabbalaka, controls earthquakes. ”
An Oriental man dressed in local attire stepped out of the building, accompanied by several archaeologists from other countries.
The site is home to not only tourists and Honduran staff, but also archaeological teams from all over the world.
As the southernmost city-state of the Mayan civilization, the ruins of Copán were once the center of the entire Mayan civilization world at a certain time in the classical period.
"Legend has it that this crocodile god caused an earthquake in the Mayan world, and was finally fed a poisonous bird by the hero twins, weakening its divine power, and working together to bury the crocodile god Kabbalaka when it shook the mountains."
An expert from Amei Lika held the shoulders of the person next to him, and there was not much panic on his face, but when he saw the crocodile god, he showed the worship of fans when they saw their idols.
He is not worshipping the evil gods who cause chaos, but the excitement when the cause for which he has dedicated his life finally appears in front of him, and the Mayan civilization that he has studied all his life has finally revealed in front of him.
Now that the transcendent is frequent, it is impossible to say whether the transcendent gods can appear in the extinct Mayan civilization, but even the Lady of Death in Norse mythology has appeared in the island country of Kyoto, and it seems that it is not an incomprehensible thing for the gods in the Mayan civilization to be resurrected.
Mayan mythology died out at least much later than Norse mythology.
"We have worked hard for two hundred years, and we have finally succeeded."
The professor spoke somewhat deranged, and the decipherment of the Mayan civilization did last for two hundred years, but by no means to resurrect the so-called Mayan mythology.
"Professor, let's run, and we're just deciphering, not resurrecting the gods." The professor's assistant pulled the professor out of the ruins.
"No, I'm going to die here!" The professor was very emotional, archaeology is not other professions, such as archaeology for the Mayan civilization, an archaeologist may spend his entire life only studying the Mayan civilization, and even more so, a family has been excavating the Mayan civilization for generations.
Among them, the archaeologists of Ameilika are the worst, after all...... There are really no relics of civilization to excavate in Amelika.
"It's worth dying here to see the Mayan gods resurrected!"
The huge crocodile lay on the ground with a bang, and the mountain shook violently.
