Chapter Ninety-Nine: Maya
It took Jiang Ning a few days to come to the Guatemala region. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoThis is already the territory of the Mayan Empire, and this time he did not choose to take the jungle beast path, but chose to take the path left by the Mayans in the jungle. The Maya, and their culture, belong to the jungle culture. Therefore, to find the Mayans, one must travel to their city.
Despite having the most accurate map in the world, Jiangning still spends too much time traversing the jungle.
After nearly a day of traveling, Jiang Ning finally saw the city of the Mayans. He straightened his clothes and approached the city. As he got closer, he was spotted by patrolling soldiers. The soldiers looked at this strange figure in strange costumes and couldn't help but hold the stone spear in their hands!
Jiang Ning came to the city and looked at this stone building, he somewhat admired the ingenuity of the Mayans. Although they were in the Neolithic Age, they achieved great achievements in mathematics, science, agriculture, culture, art, architecture, etc. It is not inferior to the three major civilizations of Asia, Africa and Europe, and in some places it is more developed than the creation of modern mankind! They didn't know how to use wheeled chariots, they didn't use copper and iron, but they built imposing cities and temples out of stone. Created a highly developed architectural civilization!
――
Look at the few hieroglyphs written on the tower of the city gate, with the help of a linguistically proficient in witchcraft. Jiang Ning knew the meaning, 'Elmirador' is a very majestic large city! The Maya script has more than 30,000 words. In this regard, it is inferior to China, almost 100,000 words.
"What are you?" The soldiers looked at Jiang Ning with wary and curious eyes.
The skin color, hair color, and eye color of the two sides are similar but the facial features are different. And Jiang Ning's skin is egg white, slightly yellowish! If the hair color is the same, the facial features are very different. The facial features of the Indians are similar to those of the Europeans, while the facial features of the Chinese are more subdued and have a soft beauty.
"I come from the other side of the distant sea, a land thousands of miles away! I came with kindness to learn! Listening to the stranger speak his own language, the guards were visibly stunned. Realizing that Jiang Ning was a guest from afar, they lowered their weapons and welcomed: "Guests from afar, hard work!" Please go into the city, and I will go and tell His Majesty the Emperor!" ”
Jiang Ning nodded in agreement! He then walked into the city and carefully examined the Mayan houses. Almost, all of them are built of boulders. And the layout is very reasonable, and imposing pyramids are built in the city. The streets within the city are clean, which is different from Europe! The streets of Europe are full of feces and are very dirty! This is also the reason why Jiangning almost does not enter the city! It's just because it's so dirty.
――
After waiting for about twenty minutes, I saw a large group of people coming over in a majestic manner.
A group of people carried an ornate chariot, on which sat a man dressed in gold ornaments, jade, and with a feather on his head. Not surprisingly, it was the Mayan emperor who came in person.
――
"Hello distinguished guest, my name is Pamela, welcome to you!" The emperor stepped down, walked over very hospitablely, and began to introduce himself when he came to Jiang Ning's side.
Although we know that the history records that the Mayans were very hospitable (this is the same as the Chinese!). However, I never thought that it would be the emperor who would come to greet him in person! Therefore, Jiang Ning made a very ornamental etiquette: "Without your consent, I came here without authorization, and I ask His Majesty the Emperor not to blame!" ”
Pamela's eyes lit up, and this very ornamental etiquette made him affirm that this strange guest was from a highly civilized country! Therefore, he took Jiang Ning's arm very kindly: "The Mayans welcome any friend to our homeland, dear friend, you must also come from a great country!" ”
Jiang Ning pointed to the direction of China: "On the other side of the sky, there is a huge land!" There my home is, and there is my kingdom! It is rich, the civilization is highly developed, and the army is invincible. Thwarted numerous attempts by the enemy to invade! Moreover, the people there are just as hospitable as the people under your rule! ”
Pamela was very happy and very interested in the depiction of Jiang Ning, and was even shocked that there was such a huge land and the civilization that lived there in this world! Therefore, he was very interested and said, "My dear friend, please come with me to the royal palace and tell me about your homeland." At the same time, I'll show you the books that belong to our Mayans! ”
To be honest, Jiang Ning was very interested in the Mayan civilization, and the emperor would ask for so even if he didn't say it. Therefore, he immediately said cheerfully: "I will introduce you to my country, and at the same time, I also want to see the achievements of civilization created by the Mayan people!" ”
"Friend, you won't be disappointed!"
Subsequently, Pamela invited Jiang Ning to ride with him and return to the palace!
――
With the arrival of Jiang Ning, Pamela specially prepared a luxurious banquet! All kinds of meat, fruits, corn, potatoes, tobacco, sugar, cocoa are all unique specialties of the Americas!
At the banquet, Pamela entertained Jiang Ning very warmly. His ministers and priests were his companions!
Although these are nothing, considering the problems of the times, these things are very extravagant banquets.
In the face of the emperor's warm invitation, Jiang Ning showed great interest in eating these American specialties. Then, he began to make a big boast, and when Pamela heard this, the folds on her face were so brilliant that they could trap mosquitoes! There is a way to come and not be rude, people are so hospitable, why is Jiang Ning embarrassed not to return the gift?
So, with a wave of his hand, plates of delicacies appeared on the stone table in front of him!
Facing the surprised eyes of the emperor and the ministers, Jiang Ning smiled and said, "Your Majesty, please taste the food of our hometown!" ”
Pamela was very interested and said, "You are also a priest?" It seemed to him that the means were very similar to those of the priests of the state!
Jiang Ning shook his head: "I'm not a priest, but a wizard!" Two concepts, I'll tell you when I have time. ”
Pamela was delighted, and he ate the food with great interest, and when he took a bite, his eyes lit up. Putting aside the etiquette, start eating in large chunks.
After Meimei finished eating, he wiped the corners of his mouth and said with emotion: "Your civilization is really as you said!" "Chinese cuisine is broad and profound, and there is no nation in the world that cannot be conquered! Anyone who has tasted Chinese food will abandon the food of their own country!
――
At the end of the banquet, the emperor ordered someone to bring the classics and hand them to Jiang Ning. For him to see, the fruits of their civilization!
According to sources, in 1526, a Spanish expedition came to Maya. The hospitable Mayans appointed a translator, Jia Jue, to introduce their civilization to Lando, the first bishop of Spain. Believing that he had come from a highly developed civilization at the time, Lando was frightened by the events recorded in the Mayan classics, and in disbelief, he thought that it was "the work of the devil", and ordered the burning of all the texts that carried the glorious civilization of the Maya.
――
Because the Mayan classics were destroyed, it is difficult to verify the specific information about the Maya in later generations! It can only be deciphered from some stone monuments, frescoes, and pyramids. According to records, in 1966, a Mayan stone tablet on the top of Querigua Mountain revealed to the world that it happened 90 million years ago, or even 400 million years ago. In other words, the Mayan Empire existed at least 400 million years ago, but 400 million years ago, the earth was still in the Mesozoic Era, and there was no trace of human beings at all.
――
Today, Jiang Ning is able to read the entire information about the Mayan civilization. If it were known to future scholars who studied the history of the Maya, they would definitely have obtained all the information about the Mayan Empire that Jiang Ning knew at all costs.
He opened the thick classic materials in front of him, which detailed the history and culture of the Mayans, whether it was mathematics, science, architecture, agriculture, water conservancy, and astronomical calendars. And as he continued to learn more about it, Jiang Ning discovered that the Mayans actually had a connection with the devil.
It actually records information about hell and how to summon demons! Moreover, it also contains information about the devil 'Baal'!
Baal the Devil, the first of King Solomon's 72 Pillars of Demon Gods, appears in a variety of forms, sometimes as a human being, sometimes as a different person. He spoke in a harsh voice, and he was Jehovah's greatest enemy, the ruler of the East. He has the ability to make people invisible.
The question is, why are the Mayans associated with the devil? Or Baal, the king of the devil!
Next, Jiang Ning continued to understand deeply, only to find that the Mayans had discovered the devil Baal by accident! It was 250 meters deep underground, hundreds of miles long tunnel where the devil Baal was found! Thus summoned the devil Baal and performed the sacrificial act!
And the devil Baal kept in touch with the Mayans because of this sacrifice! Teach them to develop civilization, the devil though evil! However, the knowledge and civilization of the devil belong to the higher civilization. The more powerful the devil, the wiser and more powerful! Moreover, the devil belongs to a higher intelligent life and has extraordinary abilities! These magical and strange powers are impossible to guard against or explain. Among them, there are also demons who can predict the future. And as the leader of the seventy-two demon gods, the devil Baal who can oppose the Lord. Jiang Ning would never believe that Barr only had the ability to make people invisible, if so. Then Barr is worthy of his position as the head of the monarch!
Everything is clear, and this is why some of the Mayans' actions are called 'devil's work'!
