The Lost Civilization Chapter 49 Mysterious Numbers
On the winding gravel road, several army-green armored vehicles slowly drove into this inaccessible place, an ancient city with Mayan ruins.
The young men in the car were excited and happy, they had come to this rainforest for the first time to carry out the task of searching for clues, although the road was slightly bumpy, but in general it was safe, and they took a long detour from the muddy mountain terrain according to the route given by Adam.
However, the high-power and large-displacement magic armored vehicles are fully capable of withstanding such a mountain off-road mission, and they will meet up with Morgan's team in the ancient ruins city of Maya.
Planck rolled down the bulletproof window, stretched his hand out, and looked at the huge pyramid in the distance, the ancient book said that each boulder of the pyramid weighed two or three tons, and it could not be built at all if it was built by human strength, so there is a legend that God built the pyramid.
Of course, Planck himself did not believe in any gods who made the pyramids, he believed that those ancient gods were absolutely so boring to help the barbarians who believed in themselves to build a magnificent and magnificent building, which should have been built by those who had special powers among the barbarians.
When he came, he also read a lot of wild history, the wild history said that the Maya were the descendants of the sun god, so they worshiped the sun god, and worshiped the sun god as the supreme god, Lu Yi also once gave such an answer sheet in the ETE exam, and actually got a full score, Planck said that he was not jealous that it was fake, so he chose to come here for a field trip.
He has always been a strict man, and he does not allow half of the mixed grains of sand to be mixed with the truth of the facts, which will make him restless, just as the gold diggers have not found the gold of the truth, but only the miscellaneous grains of sand.
In the face of the vast and glorious history, there are too many myths and exaggerations, although it is impossible to study thoroughly, but every step closer to the facts, he is one step closer to the truth, and if mankind needs to progress, it is necessary to have pioneers to dig out their hearts and lungs, and study it painstakingly.
The armored car slowly drove over the rubble and mess of ground, and the car wheeled past the small stones, and the stones burst to the side under the pressure, and the land here was too dry and cracked compared to the rainforest.
Planck knew that this was a sequelae of the Mayan slash-and-burn farming, which was a production mode in which tools cut down dead roots and stems such as trees on the ground, dried the plants and trees and burned them with fire, so that the burned land became soft, and the surface plant ash was used as fertilizer, and after sowing, no more fertilizer was applied, and the production mode was planted on the land after one year.
This also led to soil erosion, insufficient fertility, and barren land, which is also an explanation for the sudden disappearance of the Mayan civilization, and now the most scientific explanation is that the Ztec Empire, the inheritor of the Mayan civilization, was destroyed by the Spanish Empire.
The Age of Discovery has indeed brought too many opportunities and challenges, and it is indeed not an exaggeration to say that it is to promote the development of modern civilization, but at the same time, a large number of colonization and massacres, and the European pursuit of gold and materialistic ideas have also led to the collapse of too many glorious civilizations in the past, and the Indians have almost been slaughtered on the American continent.
The glorious empire on which the sun never sets is actually just a manifestation of his colonial expansion, and anyone who grasps the steering wheel of the times will have the opportunity to overtake and walk in the forefront of the world, even if it is a civilization with extraordinary abilities.
Under the crushing of powerful modern weapons such as steel torrents, strong ships and cannons, unless it is a true god, who can stop the wheels of the times from rolling forward, and those civilizations with backward ideas will indeed dissipate their glory.
Planck thought about it, the armored car had already stopped near the Mayan ruins, and in front of it was the Mayan ruins Boulder City, and now his mission was to wait here, and the Morgan team should be coming soon.
"Hey, Senior Planck, there's a new bottle of champagne here, would you like to take a sip!" a young man with a white baseball cap behind him showed off with a bottle of newly opened golden wine.
"It's about to be a mission, you drink less, don't delay in the mission!" Planck looked at the group of children like the younger students, he himself was absolutely not allowed to drink any alcoholic beverages before the mission, he had to keep a clear head at all times.
"Forget it, David, seniors don't like wine!" A boy on the side snatched the wine bottle, David was also bored with himself, this senior from the Huaxia branch is really a rigid person, not interesting at all, it is even more annoying than the old thing that teaches dead books in the academy.
Planck walked out of the car door, he was wearing a white short-sleeved shirt with a bow today, still wearing the same pair of round-rimmed glasses, his life was too precise, and the group of juniors and sisters behind him were secretly saying that he was a "decent man", and he was wearing formal clothes at all times.
"I'll walk around here, you guys take care of your own safety, don't run around, there's something to communicate!" Planck found a modified pistol and dagger from the trunk, loaded the bullets and pinned them in his gun pocket.
The Morgan team hadn't come over yet, Planck decided to take a closer look at the perimeter of the ruins, he didn't allow any free time, he was his own time manager, and he had already thought about all the trips for the week.
Three of them were spent here, and the next two days he had to go to the headquarters of the scientific research department for internship training, submit the internship report to Dr. Owen, and on Saturdays and Sundays, he needed to write his graduation thesis, and he planned to complete the four-year course in three years, complete his graduation, and enter the scientific research department as soon as possible, so that he would have more space to develop his talents.
Of course, the drunken paparazzi didn't care if Planck went there, they wished that Planck wasn't here so they could have a good drink, and they secretly brought barbecue and liquor in the trunk of another car by the way, intending to have a crazy BBQ in the ruins
Planck walked on the gravel road, where the land had been barren for too long, and the weathered stones were constantly peeling off from the wind and sun, forming the dilapidated and depressed landscape of the ruins.
The stone-built buildings and the weathered statues once symbolized the former glory of the land.
He climbed the irregular cyan staircase here, there was no protection on either side, and even his own feet stepped on it, he could clearly feel the stones swaying from side to side, the time was too long, these stones were no longer strong, but it did not affect Planck's climb to the ruins.
Planck climbed the stairs as he kept a close eye on any tiny detail around him, perhaps as small as a rune carved into a dried stone wall, and he had studied a lot of information about the Maya when he came.
Taking out a miniature camera, Planck took a picture of the rune, and continued upward, he came to a watchtower high up, and a ray of light shone into it, and he could see that several stone statues were stored in it that had not yet been fully weathered.
It was dark and damp, a few pieces of rotten wood were covered with fungi, the roof above was still dripping with water, and a musty smell came from the surface, Planck pinched his nose and turned on his multi-functional device, a full-information lens opened in front of him, and turned on the night vision device mode.
With the help of night vision, Planck could easily see anything here, and he stepped into the dark environment with a musty smell.
"The stone statues here seem to be a little different from the ones on the books, and the direction of this placement... Hmmm!!"
"The stone statue here !!" Planck's heart was shocked, he walked forward quickly, wiped it on the stone statue, and then put it next to his nose and sniffed it, this is actually an irregular operation, because anything in the ruins can be poisonous, and Planck's person is actually square now.
"Copper... Copper smells... How is that possible!"
Planck saw these green stone statues in the night vision device, and was immediately shocked, and then wiped it on his hand, sure enough, it was the oxidized taste of copper, and the green layer was basic copper carbonate.
Modern scientists have always believed that although the Maya had extremely brilliant civilization achievements, but the productivity was very low, they lived a slash-and-burn life, the knife here is not metal, but stone knife, they are still alive in the Stone Age.
But what is going on with the copper in front of you, although copper is the simplest metallurgical technology in ancient times, but everyone in the scientific community believes that bronze has never existed in the Maya, and it has never been mentioned in archaeological excavations and research.
Ji......
Click......
A sound sounded in the dark space to Planck's left, and Planck instantly pulled out his magic pistol and aimed it there, only to make Planck cry and laugh, it was a mouse...
"Mouse..."
"Mouse !!"
Planck was shocked again, how could there be rats living here, this is not like a place with plenty of food, there are stones everywhere, are they eating stones here?
Planck slowly approached the stone statue where the mouse had just popped out, and saw a moldy animal corpse behind him, the corpse was so rotten that he couldn't tell what it was, Planck took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, but his head kept "buzzing".
First there were rotten wood with fungus, then oxidized bronze statues, then rats and animal carcasses, as if they had been inhabited not long ago.
Planck took a deep breath to calm himself down, his discovery was definitely shocking to the world, but he didn't plan to report it for the time being, but walked into the stone statue.
Most of the stone statues are some stone statues of ghosts used in sacrifices, with big eyes as soft stones, wide mouths, and hideous faces, which look very infiltrating here, but Planck is a bold artist, and naturally he is not afraid of these things, even if they are all alive, Planck can blow them in the head with a single shot with his pistol.
"The stone statues here are kind of interesting!" Planck walked into a stone statue and found that the stone statue was not connected to the wall, but had a small gap in the middle, and Planck walked through each stone statue and found that it was the same.
"Interesting, it seems that there are a lot of secrets here!" Planck touched his chin and continued to explore.
"There are marks here!" Planck found a 4-dot black dot on the foot of the statue, and then Planck found different marks on the other 5 statues.
"3 dots, a bar, 1 dot, 5 dots, 1 dot" Planck wrote down all the counted symbols, and then went through them in his mind, and according to the Mayan literature he knew, these were supposed to be counting symbols.
"What do these numbers mean?" Planck thought silently.
“913415...”
“431591...”
......
“314159...”
"3.14159!" Planck's eyes widened, these were the first six digits of "π", but what did that mean?
Planck can now be sure that there is definitely a mystery here, but what do these mysterious numbers mean by just the first six digits of π?
