"Cheva?"

"Yes, the people here call the sun above their heads Cheva." Mrs. Larry said, "There is a slight difference in the pronunciation of the two tribes, Cheva, Nicheava, almost. ”

"So what? Will we all see the sun and shout 'Oh, look, Chewa is out'! Boris's voice was full of comical.

Su Huilan, as a professor of philosophy, was very interested in this, and asked, "Madam, is this related to the myth of the Itessa?" ”

"Yes, usually the names of celestial bodies are related to mythology, such as the etymology of the sun 'SUN', which in Norse mythology is 'Sunna', the daughter of the giant Mondil Fali, who drove the sun car every day and alternated the sky with her brother Mani, who drove the moon car. This is exactly the opposite of the yin and yang relationship between the sun and the moon in oriental legends.

In the legend of the Itsa, Chewa is their sun god and the name of the sun, and no matter which planet they migrated to in Ramlari, they call the star that illuminates the world above their heads. ”

"And what's the name of the moon at night?" Alice asked curiously, "Well, if there is a moon." ”

"Of course there is a moon, haven't we been shrouded in a giant moon?" Mrs. Larry laughed, "Their moon is called Ischeva, and Cheva is both brother and sister and a couple. ”

"Oh, another chaotic family! The little sun they saw during the day couldn't be the deformed child they were born with, right? Boris said openly.

"He's not deformed at all, and when he grows up, he'll probably be able to scorch the land! Boris, just wait to be skewered! Petru laughed.

"If I'm scorched, will you be able to escape?"

"I'll dive into the water, I'm a pirate!"

"Hahaha, that's funny! Do you want to hold your breath in the water compared to a Navy soldier who spent the best years of his life on a submarine? ”

Petru probably didn't feel much of a chance of winning, and stopped talking.

However, when they interrupted it like this, everyone laughed, and the atmosphere became a lot more relaxed.

"Mythology has its roots in the early days of human activity, when populations were small and inbreeding was common," says Mrs. Larry. In matriarchal societies, humans had no idea who their fathers were. ”

"Is that why Greek mythology and Norse mythology are so confusing? The history of mythology is simply a negative teaching material for teaching bad children! ”

"It's normal. In fact, mythology is also a process of human beings sorting out ethics and morality, and when human civilization matures, especially with the emergence of religion and ritualism, this situation will never occur again. ”

"Are the Chewva and Ishcheva the supreme gods they worship?"

"No, they don't worship the sun, they worship the stars." Mrs. Larry said.

"Starry sky?"

Aoki remembered the reverence of the savages last night when they knelt down under the stars, and the chant of Lady Larry resounded in his mind, and the passionate words and voice still resounded in his heart.

By the time he finished singing it, he had memorized the words completely. For a moment, he felt that the word was in his memory, but it was only awakened at this moment. However, he didn't think about anything because of it, it just made his headache worse.

"Yes, starry sky." Mrs. Larry said, "They think the world was born from the clouds of the starry sky. They called the starry sky Unab, the supreme deity they worshipped. ”

Su Huilan said: "This statement is very scientific! Stars and planets were originally born from nebulae, and it would not be wrong to say that nebulae created the world. I doubt that they were once a highly developed civilization! ”

"There is a similar saying in the Mayan civilization, which relies on their advanced astronomical calendar," says Lady Larry. However, the Mayans did not have the obvious cult of the stars as the Itsa, nor did they have gods representing the stars or nebulae. ”

"Is there really any connection between the Itesa and the Maya?"

"It's hard to say, and we won't know for sure until we've deciphered the text of the altar."

"Can you tell me more about the myths of the Itsa?" Su Huilan said.

Lady Larry said: "Actually, it's nothing, except that the worship of the stars is more special, and it is very similar to our mythology, which is nothing more than that God created the world, ruled the world, left justice, drove out evil, and so on. However, there are a few points that deserve our attention, or may interest you, in the mythology of the Itsa, in addition to the names of several gods that are similar to the names of the gods in the Mayan civilization of the Itsamna lineage, there is also a god whose name is the same as that of the gods in Greek mythology, and I can't make out the slightest difference in pronunciation. ”

"Who?" Several people asked in unison, Greek mythology is the most familiar to everyone.

"Gaia." Mrs. Larry said.

"Gaia? That's the god of the earth in Greek mythology, which can echo the starry sky! Su Huilan said.

Lady Larry shook her head and said, "No, in the mythology of the Itsa, Gaia is not the god of the earth, but an evil god hidden in the dark clouds of the starry sky, the one who controls the starry sky at the same time as Unab, one symbolizes light and justice, and the other symbolizes darkness and evil. ”

"Haha, thankfully we don't have Greeks here!" Petru gloated.

Mrs. Larry continued, "Unab created the world, and the world was born out of the nebula, and everywhere was full of light. Cheva and Ishcheva are the children of Unab who play in the sky every day. Masculine and independent, Cheva likes to influence the world with his own strength and light, while Ischeva is a small jasper and likes to snuggle up in his mother's arms. This is their sun and moon, and their day and night.

In addition to Cheva and Istcheva, Unab had five sons who together established the order of the world, made it a better place, and became the patron saint of humanity. ”

She said and looked at Aoki in the fog, "Do you know what those wildlings called you the moment you took the scepter yesterday?" ”

"What?"

"Sanchi." Mrs. Larry said, "They call you 'Sanchi.'" Sanchi is also the son of Unab, and the totem I saw on the altar floor is Sanchi's appearance, and he represents the Tree of Life. ”

Aoki's heart jumped inexplicably, and then there was a strange feeling in his mind that something was about to crawl out.

Mrs. Larry said, "I would not have associated you or Mr. Stone with their myths, but I saw you taking over the scepter, and I don't know what happened to you at that moment, but you became exactly like the tree on the altar, and the point is, there was a bird on the tree that was the same as yours."

So I went out of my way to learn about their myths and asked them what they thought of Mr. Stone. Of Unab's five sons, another was named Mantiste, perhaps Mantistu, who, in their mythology, symbolized mountains and power. I transliterated him as Mantistone, and I hope the association between the names doesn't unpleasant you, Mr. Stone! ”

Situ smiled calmly and said, "It's just a myth and legend." ”

Aoki, however, felt that it might be more appropriate to call him Manteestu.
