The Lost Civilization Chapter 68 Peerless Achievement
A huge stone gate suddenly appeared under a small hill, and the stone gate was covered with vines and leaves, and if you didn't look closely, you would never want to hide a stone door in it.
"Damn! You can find such a door, Su Chen, you are really a god!" Dio gave a thumbs up to Su Chen, the stone gate was as good as Voldemort wearing a gilly suit and lying in the grass.
Su Chen scratched his head, in fact, he suddenly found it when he was washing his hair by the river not far away, when Su Chen was happily using his shampoo, when he was cleaning up the bubbles, he saw a hill on the opposite bank The color didn't seem to be right, and he found this stone gate after swimming over.
Walker used the hunter's short knife to scrape the vines and branches and leaves on the stone gate, and the whole stone gate was completely exposed, and the stone gate was carved with many lifelike murals, which looked like the ancient Mayans were holding a grand assembly.
Xia Wan came up, she was a scholar of both arts and sciences, had studied some Mayan literature, and also recognized some ancient hieroglyphics and murals.
"The path of the dead, the road to the Divine Domain..."Xia Wanyou looked at the words below and read it with a frown.
Everyone stared at each other, not knowing what to do, Walker clasped his hands to his chest and said, "It seems that there are a lot of secrets hidden behind this stone door, blow him up!"
"But it says above, this is the path of the dead, is it that you will die if you step into it!" Dio shuddered, "I recently read a horror novel, in which a man returned his father with bones and flesh, and finally grew into three heads and six arms!"
"The horror novel you are talking about should not be "The List of Gods"!" Xia Wanyou glanced at Dior, and the person Dior described seemed to be Nezha in the list of gods.
"Seems to be!" Dior scratched his cheeks.
"Don't bother, let's go in and have a look while it's still early!" Walker glued the bomb he had brought to the stone door, a special explosive developed by the Research Department to destroy hard objects such as stones and walls.
"It's going to explode, cover your ears!" Dior ducked away, poking his head out from behind a large rock and covering his ears with both hands.
"Do you think it's a New Year's firecracker..."Yi Yi couldn't help but smile when he saw Dior's appearance.
Everyone was lying on the uphill next to the stone gate on the side, only to hear the "boom", the whole stone wall trembled, and the gate was blown open a hole, which could be drilled in from the outside.
Walker walked to the entrance of the cave, lit a piece of wood and threw it inside, and the originally dark stone cave was instantly lit, and the oil lamps standing on the side burned one after another, like dominoes.
Inside was a wide corridor, and the head of the corridor was the lamp that had just been lit, and after making sure that there was nothing wrong inside, Walker got inside.
Su Chen followed behind Walker, "No problem, you can come in!"
Su Chen shouted inside, his voice vibrating back and forth in the corridor, and everyone also got in.
"Did I say we were all like tomb robbers?" said Dio, who had slipped through the hole, yelling that they were robbing the tomb now, that they had made a robbing hole.
"Shhh
"There are so many murals here!" Yi Yi touched the dusty murals, which were carved in stone all the way to the dark end in the distance.
In the summer evening, you squatted down and leaned on the mural to look at the delicately carved characters and events on the mural.
On the mural, unclothed Mayans raise their hands and cheer, some of them kneeling on the ground, drinking from a bottle, with a pained look on their faces, and some people are beside them, holding identical small bottles in their hands, like drunken people.
On the other side of the mural, some of the men were tied hand and foot, they had been impaled with spears under a huge statue of a god, and some had lost their legs and made human statues, which looked like they were slaughtering.
Other women were thrown into the great pit, around which the priests gathered and put their hands together as if to pray.
"The murals here should be the scene of the Mayans during the sacrifices!" said Xia Wanyou, squatting down.
"Sacrifice, how does it look like a slaughter!" Walker looked at the poor people on the mural, their expressions aching, some lying in pools of blood, some pierced by long hair, and their limbs incomplete.
"Indeed, the Mayans used living sacrifices in that era, and this kind of sacrifice is generally called 'blood sacrifice', you see what those people drank in their hands, if I guessed correctly, it was a kind of thing called 'death bottle', and it was said that drinking these things could communicate with the ancestors and gods!" Xia Wanyou immediately turned into a doctor of liberal arts and explained to everyone.
"That's!" even people like Dior find such things incredible.
"The Mayans are still relatively backward compared to that era, and if you look at them now, of course they are primitive!" replied Iyi, knowing that the Mayans were religiously superstitious at that time, which is why they had such activities.
"Yes, Iyi is right!"
"Ceremonial torture and human sacrifice were basic religious rituals in Mayan society, and were seen as a guarantee of fertility and devotion to the gods. If you ignore rituals, it will cause chaos and chaos in the world. Drawing human blood is believed to nourish the gods and is indispensable for achieving communication with the gods. ”
"The Mayan rulers, who were intermediaries between the Mayans and the gods, also had to go through ritual bloodletting and torture!" Xia Wanyou continued.
"Wow! Sister Wanyou deserves to be a scholar, she knows so much!" Su Chen praised, no wonder Lu Yi likes to talk to herself about how her senior sister is doing, and she also likes a knowledgeable and good-looking girl like Xia Wanyou.
"Let's keep walking and see what else is worth discovering!" Everyone continued to walk towards the inside of the corridor, Su Chen looked at the flames above his head, and was very curious, what kind of fuel could be stored for so long.
"Those flames are so strange!" Su Chen stopped, always feeling that those flames were burning in the air.
Walker and the others also stopped, looking at the flames burning overhead, Walker actually saw it most clearly, when he just threw in a torch, the flames inside suddenly jumped up, and Walker was also stunned by this spectacular scene.
"How the hell did those flames burn, none of us have ever lit them!" Su Chen was puzzled.
"Maybe it's a wick made of mermaid oil!" Xia Wanyou guessed as he looked at the two rows of burning lights.
"There is an article in the "Historical Records" called "Qin Shi Huang Benji", which has such a passage, "With mermaid ointment as a candle, the one who will not be extinguished for a long time", it is said that mermaid ointment can burn for thousands of years, and the reason why it was extinguished before may be because the oxygen burned out!" Xia Wanyou said.
"Qin Shi Huang is such a big man, his mausoleum even "wears three springs", which is as deep as 1,000 meters! It is said that there are rivers and lakes infused with mercury, where does the mermaid ointment come from in this small place?" Su Chen still didn't understand.
"It's a mystery indeed, let's keep going inside and maybe we'll find the answer!"
The crowd continued to walk along the wall, the path narrowed and narrowed, at first, three people were allowed to walk side by side, then gradually it became two people, and finally the last person was a little crowded.
"It's getting narrower and narrower!" Dior complained.
"Let's follow up, pay attention to safety, and don't run into any traps!" Walker walked at the front, ignoring the presence of Chiba Sakura, who was the most combat-ready in the entire group.
"Hey, we've stepped on the trap early, and we can't get here!" Dior smiled and spread his hands.
After walking about a few kilometers forward, they came to the edge of a stone gate, and next to the stone gate was placed a crystal skull, the intricate workmanship was jaw-dropping.
"Wow! Treasure!" Dior's eyes lit up, such a large crystal skull should be sold for a lot of money!
"Don't touch it!" Xia Wanyu stopped Dior.
Walker stepped forward and took a closer look, when suddenly the light from the crystal skull made Walker dizzy, took a few steps back, and sat down on the ground.
"It's okay!" Xia Wanyou hurriedly stepped forward and helped Walker up.
"It's okay! this thing is a little weird, everyone be careful!" Walker snapped, reminding the group.
"The Crystal Skull is also an unsolved mystery left to the world by the Mayan civilization!" Xia Wanyou said as she stood at the safety of the Crystal Skull and looked at it.
"Is there anything special about this thing?" Dio couldn't help but ask.
"There is an old legend among the American Indians that in ancient times there were 13 crystal heads, which could speak and sing. The Crystal Skull hides information about the origin and death of humanity and can solve the mystery of life in the universe. Legend has it that all the crystal heads gathered together are as if they were a collection of human wisdom and play their due role. ”
"Hehe! This sounds like a Japanese manga, collecting Dragon Balls can summon dragons!" Dior smiled.
"According to legend, the Crystal Skull hides secret information about the origin and death of mankind, and can solve the mystery of life in the universe. There is also a rumor that the Crystal Skull is something similar to a hard drive. ”
"I used the crystal as a storage medium for information, wrote the information into it with a laser, and after a period of time, I used instructions to restore it, and the data inside was intact. Experiments have proved that if someone wrote data into the crystal skull thousands or tens of thousands of years ago, it can still be preserved to this day. Xia Wanyou stared at the crystal skull and said quietly.
"Are you saying that the ancient Mayans had already mastered the technology of laser storage and crystal engraving, and they were still living in a slave society in the Stone Age, how could they master such technology!" Walker felt incredible.
"But don't you think their astronomical calendar is even more outrageous?" Su Chen retorted.
"What do you mean by that?" said Dior.
"The Mayans had a huge astronomical unit of counting, and they had mastered algorithms similar to the 'binary' of modern civilization. Modern astronomical observations of a year are 365.2422 days, while the Mayans have measured a year of 365.2420 days. With such a close value, if you consider the deviation caused by the intersection angle of yellow and red, these differences are almost negligible!" Su Chen said.
"It is known that their largest astronomical counting unit is 1 ato shield, which is about 2340 million days when converted into days!"
"Why have you developed such a huge number? The number unit is so large that even modern people can't use it. From today's scientific point of view, such a huge number can only be used in astronomy. Astronomy often uses a huge unit of numbers, "astronomical numbers", to represent the distance between galaxies, etc., "Su Chen also expressed his opinion.
"They're just a slave society! How did they master these technologies! unless God told them!" said Dior, confused and puzzled.
Everyone looked at Dio in unison, and Dio was suddenly a little uncomfortable when he was suddenly concerned, and muttered in a low voice: "I guessed blindly!"
"Maybe you're right! Such a glorious civilization would not have existed in a slave society in the Stone Age! Either aliens helped them, or... God!" Xia Wanyou confirmed Dior's guess.
"Ahem~ Aren't you talking a little far, aren't we discussing the matter of the crystal skull here?" Yi Yi watched everyone express their opinions, interrupting their train of thought.
"yes!" Walker shrugged.
"The biggest question now is what is the use of this crystal skull?" Xia Wanyou squinted at the crystal skull.
"I think it's fitting to stuff that hole!" Dior pointed to a groove on the far right of the crystal skull, the outline of the hole was very similar to the crystal head, as if it was tailor-made.
Once again, the crowd looked at Dior...
