Chapter 747: The Vanishing Mayan Culture
"Whew!"
Hearing this, He Qiliao, who was lying on the ground, let out a sigh. He knew Chi You's story, Zhang Binhui heard about it, and he didn't expect all this to be true, the ancestor was really an interstellar thief.
Cheng Bai glanced at He Qiliao: "Don't work hard, your mortal physique, if you want to crack my soul isolation technique, there is no chance at all." ”
He Qiliao smiled bitterly, and his body went limp.
As Cheng Bai said, he had been secretly trying to crack the depression in the meridians just now, but in the end he still failed.
Cheng Bai sneered: "Can your little trick hide it from us?" Dream!
We discovered the mystery of this cave as soon as we arrived, and the head on the outside was the coat of arms of the Rapa Nui family, Duncan must have been here, and this may be the place where he met Chiyu. ”
Speaking of this, hundreds of people and Hank stepped forward, one of them lifted one, and dragged He Qiliao and Ma Tianyuan to the depths of the cave.
The two of them had already discovered that they were being followed by earthlings, so they deliberately left those two crystal beads so that they could let He Qiliao and them in and launch a surprise attack, so as not to expose their whereabouts. They haven't had time to enter the cave yet.
The white light spread along the two brothers' steps, and soon, they reached another, larger space.
This is obviously a stone room, and there are a lot of jars and jars in it, each of which is sealed with mud, and it looks quite old.
In addition, the walls of the stone room were painted with patterns, and He Qiliao could see at a glance that this pattern was a star map, which he had seen in Zhang Binhui before, and the star picture was the starry sky environment of the constellation Centauri.
Seeing those jars, Hank and Cheng Bai looked a little excited, they threw them casually, threw He Qiliao and Ma Tianyuan to the ground, and then ran to the side of those jars and opened them one by one.
He Qiliao took a breath and tried his best to support himself, and behind, Sha Yiqiang followed, he carefully helped the two of them up, and wanted to use Hank and Baibai's distraction to transfer them away, Ma Tianyuan refused with a wry smile.
Hank and Hundreds are half cultivators, and with their status as interstellar thieves, it is impossible to escape under their noses.
Now that he had come in, Ma Tianyuan had no desire to escape, and leaned against the wall, he glanced at those pictures casually.
This glance is not tight, Ma Tianyuan's face suddenly changed greatly, just in that star map, a line of small characters faintly appeared, something five thousand years ago, this line of small characters Ma Tianyuan is recognized, it is written in Chinese Simplified:
"2112, the end of the earth, is there really no way?"
Like being thundered, Ma Tianyuan's body stiffened there. He Qiliao and Sha Yiqiang noticed his abnormality, so they looked at it together, and they were equally shocked.
In the corner of the stone chamber, there was the sound of Hank and hundreds of curses, they smashed every jar, and Jade Jane found a lot, but they didn't find what they wanted, and they were immediately disappointed.
In anger, Cheng Bai rushed to the front of the three people, ready to kill people to relieve hatred, at this time, he noticed their gaze, so he took advantage of the situation to look over, and Cheng Bai also saw the small line.
"What do you mean? Tell me. ”
He Qiliao leaned softly against the wall: "This is a prophecy, it says that our earth human race will be extinct, just around 2112, can you measure the age of this line of small characters?" ”
Hundreds of people looked at the small line of writing suspiciously, it looked very old, but he had no interest:
"What does it matter to me whether you earthlings are extinct or not? If we can't find the Soul Snatcher, we're here for nothing.
Boy, give you a chance, is there any other place on earth that is close to this culture? Take us there, and maybe leave you a whole corpse. ”
In the wee hours of the morning, five men emerge from the hole, and Hank and Hundreds escort them back to the hostel. According to the plan of the two thieves, they wanted to travel north and find the place where the Maya disappeared, because inside the cave they found the connection between the Maya and the Incas.
The Maya people are the oldest and most intelligent tribal race, the Mayan civilization is named after the Indian Maya, is the American Indian Maya people isolated from the ancient civilizations of Asia, Africa and Europe, the great civilization created independently, its ruins are mainly distributed in Mexico, Guatemala and Honduras and other places.
The Mayan civilization was born in the 10th century BC and was divided into three periods: the Preclassic, the Classic, and the Postclassic, with the 3rd to 9th centuries AD being its heyday.
The Mayan civilization was an amazing achievement of humanity before Columbus discovered the American continent. It has made extremely important contributions to science, agriculture, culture, art and many other aspects.
In contrast, the other two major civilizations that were born in the Western Hemisphere, the Aztec civilization and the Inca civilization, are not the same as the Mayan civilization.
However, what puzzles people is that as the only ancient civilization in the world that was born in a tropical jungle rather than a large river basin, the Mayan civilization is as mysterious as its miraculous rise and development.
In the 8th century AD, the Mayans abandoned their highly developed civilization and migrated en masse, ending new construction in each central city they created.
Cities were completely abandoned, and bustling megacities became deserted. The Mayan civilization disappeared overnight into the tropical jungles of the Americas.
According to archaeologists, the Mayan civilization was divided into three periods: 1500 BC to 300 BC is called the Preclassic period, 300 BC to 900 AD is the Classical period, and 900 to the 16th century AD is the Postclassic period.
The Maya began to build religious structures 3,000 years ago, and the earliest ruins consisted of simple mounds that later evolved into pyramids.
The pyramids of the Mayans and the pyramids of the Egyptians are slightly different in shape, and their architectural roles are fundamentally different:
The pyramids of the Egyptians were the tombs of the pharaohs, the rulers of ancient Egypt, and the pyramids of the Mayans served an important role as altars for sacrifices and ceremonies.
On the wall of the stone chamber, Hank found a small triangular symbol that Ma Tianyuan recognized at a glance, which was the famous pyramid of the Yucatan Peninsula, the most famous building of the Mayan culture, which appeared in the crypt of Machu Picchu, which represented the Inca culture.
"This is not a pyramid, its function is not a tomb or a place of sacrifice at all", after listening to Ma Tianyuan's explanation, Hank said coldly:
"This is a cross-star signaling device, a large-scale spiritual weapon design. The pyramid in the forest must have been made by Duncan, who was begging for help, and Duncan wanted to go back to Centaur. ”
