Wang Xijia was anxious to see the murals in the cave, and urged Phoenix Ling to take him to open his eyes.

Phoenix Ling shirked vigorously: "The cave is dark and invisible, so I'll take you there tomorrow morning." Isn't dancing beautiful?"

Wang Xijia wants to say that I came to see your calendar, not to see you dance.

After thinking about it, it was rude to say this, so I had to continue to watch the dance patiently for a night, and then fell asleep under Phoenix Ling's arrangement.

Wang Xijia drank a little too much wine, but remembered that the bed arranged by Phoenix Ling was all made of phoenix feathers, which was particularly soft. The next morning, he was woken up by the chirping of a phoenix.

It turns out that the phoenix is a bit like a chicken, and it crows every morning. This may have something to do with the bird's biological clock, which has a large area of the pineal gland in the brain, which secretes melatonin.

In the morning, when stimulated by light and sound, the secretion of melatonin is inhibited, and the secretion of male hormones in the rooster is accelerated, and it will begin to crow.

The phoenix is estimated to be about the same, and it will chirp in the morning. Of course, the crowing of the phoenix is better than the crowing of the rooster, and it contains a nobility and atmosphere of the king of birds.

But people are angry in the morning, and no matter how beautiful the music sounds at this time, it sounds annoying. The phoenixes sounded like a heavenly sound, and Wang Xijia only felt noisy. I can't wait to turn off the phoenix's chirping like turning off the alarm clock.

Fortunately, Wang Xika is more experienced in getting up, and knows that getting up is a little uncomfortable in the first few seconds, so it's good to ease up. On the other hand, when you first wake up, you have the most energy in the day, and you can do a lot of things.

After all, although sleeping is cool, you are basically unconscious in the process of sleeping, and you can't reflect the value of life at all. Although there are all kinds of joys and sorrows when you are awake, this is exactly what life is all about.

After Wang Xijia got up, he immediately went to call Phoenix Ling to look at the calendar. Phoenix Ling was pushed up with sleepy eyes, and said, "Eat breakfast first, and then go to see it after breakfast." ”

I've been waiting all night, and I'm not in a hurry for this time. Wang Xika followed Phoenix Ling to breakfast. The Aztec breakfast that lived on the cliff was characteristic.

They soaked the rice into rice milk, which was then mixed into rice cereal, which was then dried and shredded to make a filamentous item. When eating, these filaments are cooked and salted, chili and beef, which is very refreshing, and the taste is a bit like the beef rice noodles that were loved in southwest China back then.

It's just that the Aztecs eat rice noodles differently from the Chinese people, who use chopsticks, but the Aztecs use a wooden stick and wrap the rice noodles around the stick and eat them like marshmallows.

Wang Xika didn't know how to eat the Aztecs, he still liked to use chopsticks - chopsticks are very easy to make, just two wooden sticks.

Phoenix Ling was very surprised to see Wang Xijia's method of eating rice noodles with two wooden sticks: he was smart and immediately realized that eating rice noodles with two wooden sticks was much more convenient than one wooden stick!

Feng Fengling, who is good at learning, soon began to eat rice noodles with two wooden sticks, and she really learned it as soon as she learned it. I have to say that Phoenix Ling is very talented, and many people who have never used chopsticks are not used to using chopsticks at first, and they have to learn for several days.

Immediately afterwards, Phoenix Ling began to try to eat rice noodles with three wooden sticks and four wooden sticks, and after a period of time, she found that three wooden sticks were the most accurate to eat and two were the most convenient.

Wang Xijia was shocked when he saw Phoenix Ling's stunt of eating rice noodles with three chopsticks - he had used chopsticks all his life, and he never thought that he could add one.

I saw that the three chopsticks of Phoenix Ling moved in turn, as coordinated as the mouth of some kind of insect, and he simply used the chopsticks as an art.

"Have you finished eating? Take me to see your calendar after eating. "It's interesting to eat rice noodles with three chopsticks, but Wang Xika didn't come all the way to see this.

"When you're done eating, let's go. Phoenix Ling drank the rice noodle soup, put down the bowl and took Wang Xika to sit on the phoenix - it turned out that the cave was not nearby, and he still needed to sit on the phoenix.

The morning breeze is still a little cold on the face, but it can also make people more awake. Wang Xika couldn't help but wonder why Indians and Chinese, thousands of miles apart, like rice noodles in the same way? Is this a coincidence, or is there also a man like Marco Polo in the Indian tribe who has been to China?

"Brother, thank you for telling me to eat with multiple sticks, it's very convenient. Phoenix Ling said. This talent has now mastered a little simple Chinese, and can communicate with Wang Xika without translation.

"You're welcome, that's called chopsticks. Wang Xijia taught Phoenix Ling the correct pronunciation of this kind of tableware, although he didn't know whether eating with three sticks was considered chopsticks.

"Chopsticks, chopsticks...... I love chopsticks. Phoenix Ling muttered a few times, and suddenly slapped the phoenix on the head, and the phoenix instantly doubled its speed: it turned out that Phoenix Ling had learned a new skill and was very excited.

The phoenix stopped in a cave a few hills away, and there was also a plane tree outside the cave.

"Come, come in and see, our calendar is in it. Phoenix Ling jumped down from the phoenix and guided Wang Xika into the hole.

The cave is full of frescoes and indecipherable writing, and the Aztec calendar is contained here.

Wang Xijia then understood why Phoenix Ling kept saying that she could only come during the day.

It turned out that the cave was dark, and the visibility during the day was not too high, and if you came at night, you probably wouldn't be able to see anything clearly without lighting a few torches.

When he saw this mural, Wang Xika was simply shocked. In the past, he always felt that the murals of primitive people were very simple, similar to children's paintings.

But the Aztecs' painting skills were truly extraordinary, with the addition of shadows and perspective. It's important to know that shadows and perspective aren't for everyone.

There is never a shadow in the paintings of Chinese civilization, and the perspective effect is so said. Whether it is Tang Bohu or Wu Daozi, the paintings painted are flat effects. Even the famous paintings "Qingming Riverside Picture" and "Fuchun Mountain Residence Map" are the same as no shadows.

In the same way, in the murals of ancient Indian civilization and ancient Egyptian civilization, there is no shadow and perspective effect. But this Aztec actually applied shadow and perspective in painting in this era, which is very remarkable.

What surprised Wang Xika even more was the content of the painting.

In it, a group of phoenixes are drawn with very clever painting skills, just like anime in later generations. Even if you can't read the text, you can understand it by looking at the picture. At the bottom of each picture there are some Indian characters that record the date, and these characters record the numbers very interestingly, not like Arabic numerals, not like Roman numerals, and not like the numbers of Chinese civilization.

Rather, it's a bit like the Mayan numerals we've learned before: the shape of a shell is used to represent zero. Use dots and horizontal to represent numbers, 1 to 4 are represented by dots, and 5 is added to a horizontal system, which is a base 20.

In later generations, it was believed that only the Mayan civilization left a written language on the American continent, but it seems that this is not the case, at least the Aztec civilization also had a written language, but the Aztec civilization had the same writing as the Mayan script.

It is also possible that the Aztec script and the Mayan script are just very similar, but not the same. It's like the ancient Khitan script and the Tangut script, which look very much like Chinese characters, but they are not the same. Traditional Mongolian and traditional Manchu look similar, but they are not the same. The ancient Korean script and the modern Japanese script are very similar to Chinese characters, but they are not actually the same language.

It's just that later generations couldn't tell the difference between the Aztec script and the Mayan script, so they thought that their scripts were the same.

If the Khitan civilization, the Tangut civilization and the Chinese civilization disappeared at the same time, then everyone would probably think that the Khitan script, the Tangut script and the Chinese language are the same script.

Whether the Aztec script is the same as the Mayan script or similar, it is a script that Wang Xika cannot understand anyway. All Wang Xika could understand was the paintings on the walls. Fortunately, the Aztecs were very skilled in painting, and many of the pictures could be understood without reading the text.

Just like when you read Fuso comics, sometimes not being able to read the text doesn't affect your understanding of the content of the drawing. For example, in "Dragon Ball", the Super Saiyan fights Frieza, and if you can't read a word, it doesn't affect that you know that Frieza was defeated.

The comic strips are all drawn phoenixes, people.

In the first few pictures, the phoenix is still normal size, but it is constantly being killed and turned into eggs, and then getting bigger and bigger. This is normal, but the strangest thing is the last picture: the phoenix inside becomes extremely large, and then swallows a round ball in one gulp.

And that sphere looks like the earth -- did the Aztecs realize that the earth was round in this ancient era? Normal people in this era should not all think that "the sky is round, like a lid." The earth is flat, like a chessboard, "Is the whole earth either carried by a big turtle or a big whale?" In this era, all civilizations in the world should support the theory that the sky is round and the place is round.

Maybe the ball in the last picture just looks like the Earth, but it's not, it's just a toy of the Phoenix?

Wang Xijia asked again and again, and only then did he learn that the ball in the most picture was indeed the earth. It turned out that the Aztecs flew long distances in phoenixes all year round, and some large phoenixes could even fly beyond the normal flow, so the Aztecs realized early on that the earth was round and a planet.

I have to say that the Aztec civilization is really an advanced civilization. Wang Xijia is very incomprehensible that this civilization did not conquer the earth, and was finally destroyed by the Spaniards, and there must be something wrong.

It stands to reason that since this civilization is capable of flying around the world, it has the ability to colonize the whole world. But they did not even conquer the lands of the Apache and Komochi to the north. Although the Apache and Komochi can transform, how can they fight the Aztecs flying in the sky on the ground?

Wang Xijia still remembers the scene when he was on the boat with Bloodfang and the Grey Beaver to popularize the earth, when it took a lot of effort for the two leaders of the northern part of the Americas to learn that the earth is round.

Since the southern Aztec civilization understood that the earth was a round planet, it must have developed mathematics and technology, so why did it still look like primitive people?
