Chapter 748: Mayan Pyramids

When leaving, He Qi Liao and the others saw the methods of the Black Blood Alliance again. Hank and Hundreds didn't hide their tracks at all, they directly killed people and goods, grabbed a small car, and then forced Sha Yiqiang to drive and set foot on the road to Mexico.

Ma Tianyuan and the others rationally chose a cooperative attitude, and according to the request of Hank and Baibai, they suggested going to the place with the most Mayan pyramids - Mexico.

In fact, the Mayan pyramids, although not as majestic as the Egyptian pyramids, far surpassed Egypt in number, with more than 100,000 Mayan pyramids in Mexico alone.

chose to go to Mexico, Ma Tianyuan naturally had his secret plans. That country is close to the United States, and in order to grasp relevant information, Ma Tianyuan has been active there, so he is very familiar with the culture and terrain there, and he hopes to find a glimmer of life there.

At the same time, the large number of pyramids is located there, and Hank and Hundreds have to rely on them to find their way, which will also buy the three of them more time.

Unfortunately, Hank and Hundreds were not stupid, as they were briefed on the Mayan pyramids and quickly focused on the location of the target.

A giant pyramid carved with a recumbent statue of a large human body, his appearance is very distinctive: his right hand holds his heart, and behind him there is a snake god - the Pyramid of Cucurcan, the most famous ancient structure in Mexico.

The Pyramid of Kukulkan is a BC building with a long history and is a typical example of the Mayan civilization.

It is a huge pyramid that towers over a tropical jungle clearing, this pyramid contains mathematics, astronomy, physics, art and many other aspects of advanced civilization, it is the product of the heyday of the Mayan civilization.

Because of the mystery of the pyramid of Kukulkan, it is also reflected in very famous film and television works, and the pyramid in the second work in the "Tomb Robbery" series is depicted with it as a sample.

The Mayan pyramids are different from the Egyptian pyramids, including the pyramid of Kukulkan, the Mayan pyramid is flat-topped, the tower body is square, the bottom is large and the top is small, layered, and there are temples built on the platform at the top of the tower.

The design data of the Kukulkan pyramid is of astronomical significance. Its base is square, the steps are facing due north, south, east and west, and there are 91 steps around each side, and the number of steps and stepped platforms represent the number of days and months of the year, respectively.

Its carved 52 stone tablets symbolize the 52 years of the Mayan calendar, which is clearly carefully designed.

To the east of the pyramid of Kukulkan, there is a magnificent four-story pyramid on top of the "Temple of Warriors", in front of which and to the south are large square or circular stone pillars - the "Thousand Pillars Group", which once supported the huge palace.

At the entrance to the pyramid is a large stone carved figure of a recumbent man with a disc on his chest, which contains some sacrificial objects, such as human hearts.

The entrance is connected to the entrance, which is 91 steps, and all the steps plus the top floor are exactly the number of steps in a year (365 days).

On the side wall on both sides of the staircase, which is up to 1 meter wide, and at the lower end of the north side wall, there is a large stone sculpture of a large snake head with feathers, and the head of the snake is 1 high. 43 meters, up to 1. 80 meters, width 1. At 07 meters, the snake's mouth spits out a big tongue, and the shape is quite peculiar.

Every year on the afternoon of the spring and autumn equinoxes, the "Snake Shadow Wonder" appears near the pyramids:

The sun sets in the west, and the sunlit part of the north wall gradually turns into a wavy shape from top to bottom, until the head of the snake, like a giant python crawling down from the top of the tower.

Due to the sunlight, the snake body has 7 isosceles triangles arranged in rows, resembling the pattern on the back of a python, and this illusion lasts for 3 hours and 22 minutes at a time.

"That's the effect of the formation", looking at the snatched VCD disc, Hank was proud:

"Only this pyramid is Duncan's work, this must have been the distress station he built, he must have encountered some difficulty and could not leave the earth.

As for the other pyramids, they must be imitations of mortals, so there is no need to waste time. ”

Sha Yiqiang sighed, the steering wheel was struck, and the off-road vehicle drove into the tropical jungle.

……

In the state of Cucurcan, Mexico's poorest place, a drug purge program is being laid out in the state residence.

Mexico is a complex country with a people of ingenuity and ingenuity, but even more so by the drug trade.

The stunting of civil society, the chronic misdistribution of wealth, the entrenchment of corruption, and the pandemic-like spread of political violence have further burdened society. As a result of these ills, Mexican society and economy have been distorted by drugs.

The rampant drug trafficking in Mexico is, of course, indispensable to the "help" of the United States.

The United States is not only a "market" for these drug traffickers to make a profit, but also a place where they purchase large quantities of weapons.

Mexico's ambassador to the United States has estimated that about 2,000 guns flow into Mexico from the United States every day, and drug cartels receive about $38 billion in cash from the United States each year through drug smuggling.

At the beginning of the last century, at the end of his 34-year bloody reign, the Mexican strongman Porfiglio? Dias once lamented that his country's greatest misfortune was "so far from God, so close to America"

It is precisely for this reason that Mexican President Calderón, after taking office, made the fight against drug cartels a top priority and launched a massive joint anti-drug operation.

At the same time, Mexico's rich drug cartels have carried out assassinations against senior officials, parliamentarians and police officers.

Since the outbreak of the "war on drugs", according to the official report released by the Mexican government, 28,000 people have been killed by this "war".

During this period, the Mexican government confiscated 84,000 weapons and confiscated a total of $411 million in cash, but regrettably, drug violence in Mexico continues to grow.

This time, the raid was aimed at a heroin processing factory hidden in the rainforest, which was recently discovered by the special investigation team.

"We were divided into three teams, two ground armored convoys, and one air support group.

Lagoth, you lead a convoy of armoured vehicles through the rainforest, and make sure you get there at dawn;

Di Mario, you lead another fleet of armoured troops up the river, and again, you must be in place at dawn.

I will lead a helicopter gunship to patrol the skies and provide you with support at all times.

Remember, the early reconnaissance has been very clear, there are no inhabitants in that forest, if you see a suspicious person, arrest immediately, if the other party resists, there is no mercy! ”

With that, Colonel Yoderov slammed his fist on the map:

"Let's go!"
