Chapter 469: Excerpt 3: Prophecy

......

The civilization of the Mediterranean is all too familiar to everyone, whether you admit it or not, it is the ancestor of modern civilization, and I will not repeat it in this book.

The following mainly talks about the other two stories that inherited the excellent genes of Atlantis, but developed into a deformed civilization and finally killed themselves. See how the ancient civilizations of Central and South America and the islands of the South Pacific played a good hand.

......

The South Pacific Islands civilization is a terrible player, playing a good hand to the ground. In fact, they are more miserable, detached from reality, over-pursuing the good things that have been lost, and wanting to regain the glory of the empire.

But what they will never understand is that the birth and existence of Atlantis is not within the control of the humans of the earth, and it will never change the slightest bit by the will of the ancient humans, it belongs to the interests and needs of the gods!

If God wills, he can let ten Atlantis rise from the ground and prosper, and then the earth will be full of Pure Land of Bliss.

But God couldn't do that, because it violated the rules and wiped out the potential and hope of humanity on earth.

......

In the ancient civilization system of Central and South America, there are three civilizations confirmed by archaeology, in chronological order: the Olmec civilization, the Mayan civilization, and the Inca civilization. By the way, the Aztecs, another ancient Mesoamerican civilization that is commonly recognized, is actually a successor to the Maya, or is still counted in the Mayan civilization system.

The Inca Empire was a late-life civilization that was almost indistinguishable from modern civilizations. Otherwise more advanced, limited by poor farming practices, famine was always with the most powerful empire in the Americas at the time. After years of struggle, the Spanish Empire was finally wiped out. I won't talk too much about it here.

The Olmec civilization, who were the first ancient humans to arrive on the American continent and survive, can be traced back to the Late Neolithic to the Early Bronze. According to the characteristics of the unearthed cultural relics, the Olmec people are actually strikingly similar to the living habits of the people in the Yin Shang period in China, thousands of miles away, including text symbols, jade worship, totem worship, interpretation of the phoenix (the feathered serpent in the Olmec civilization), seal certification system, pottery technology, ornament shape, carving art style and so on.

However, the Olmec civilization also had its own uniqueness, as they were the first known civilization to invent and use the concept of "zero", more than a thousand years before other regions. The calendar they invented was very advanced and laid a solid foundation for the later Mayan calendar.

Reminiscent of the unique arithmetic methods of the later Mayan civilization, I think this was inherited from Atlantis.

Later, for some reason, the Olmec civilization suddenly disappeared, and people left the center of civilization and gradually dispersed throughout the Americas. Many years later, the Mayan civilization began to emerge.

The Mayan civilization was ruined by tyranny and plague. They have abandoned gentleness and reason, treated everything as fear and punishment, sacrificed and prayed in the most cruel and bloody way, and desperately wanted to escape from the real world and go to heaven.

The king himself was a great sorcerer, and all around him were sorcerer sacrifices. These men were proficient in the calendars and arithmetic that had been handed down from Atlantis, and the astronomical arithmetic methods and arithmetic that were born from them were enough to be matched by all subsequent civilizations and still amaze us today.

Speaking of the calendar algorithm unique to the Lost Nation, it is completely different from the whole system that mankind has, because it is ternary.

Atlantis was so obsessed with the number "three" that he knew all the numbers related to three as well, and the ternary algorithm and calendar that evolved from it were endlessly mysterious.

The Mayans, in keeping with the essence of their ancestors, used three symbols: a dot, a horizontal, and a shell-shaped symbol representing zero to represent any number. Such a combination of shapes can calculate astronomical progression numbers, so archaeological excavations often see numbers such as millions, tens of millions, billions, billions, billions. This is many times stronger than those civilizations of the same period.

How could a primitive slash-and-burn civilization use such large and complex numbers?

The calendar derived from this algorithm has very little error and can be used after 500 million years. In fact, the Maya used a calendar that was not intended for the earth or the solar system, it was for the stars and the sea!

The high-ranking priests of the Mayan city-states deduced that Atlantis should not exist on the earth through the algorithms they mastered, combined with astronomical observations, but that there was something else, or that the sages who first founded the Atlantean civilization on the earth came from the distant starry sky.

What's even more outrageous is that they actually calculated where the fable of those alien visitors came from: Orion.

This can be confirmed in the stone carvings of the ruins, and some exaggerated and abstract line symbols seem to me to be extremely crude star charts.

Extrapolating into a certain state, those sacrifices seemed to be possessed by gods, as if they had seen the wonders that happened back then:

Once, a group of figures dressed in spacesuits stepped out of a huge arch and descended on this planet. Then only a few figures, dressed in familiar costumes and only their backs, left Earth in something similar to a starship.

The above two pictures are now on the walls of the two temples of the Mayan ruins, so if you are interested, you can go and see them.

"We don't have it here, but we belong here!"

These are the words written on one of the stone tablets that accompanied the burial goods of a great Mayan wizard. This sentence is interpreted as the last prophecy of Maya.

It was in the tomb of the great wizard that more stone tablets were discovered, which became known as the Mayan prophecy.

According to the Mayan prophecy, modern humans are living in the so-called Sixth Solar Age. So far, the earth has passed through five solar ages, and at the end of each solar age, there will be an unstoppable destruction, the disappearance of all current civilizations, and the beginning of a new cycle.

The First Solar Era was the Gendaya civilization, also known as the Giant Civilization, about two billion years ago. And because the creatures of the Gendaya era were not only huge, but also most of them had three eyes, and it is said that the third eye had great magical powers, so it was also called the three-eyed civilization, or superpower civilization. The civilization was ruined by self-aggrandizement and collapse.

The Second Solar Age is the Aeotl civilization about 500 million years ago, which is called the treasure hunting civilization or the devouring civilization by the outside world. It probably means that all kinds of life in the civilization of that period, whether they are highly intelligent creatures or low-level animals and plants, are keen to find all kinds of natural treasures, and then refine and swallow them for their own survival and development, or sublimation and advancement. Therefore, the Aeotl civilization is also known as the cultivation civilization.

The reasons for the disappearance of this civilization are not very clear, but I can conclude that there are no more than the following two things: first, they have all exhausted the treasures of the home planet, and they will either starve to death or go to other planets to find food, and second, they will be destroyed in a war of annihilation.

The Third Solar Age is the Moria civilization about 100 million years ago, also known as the elemental civilization or magical civilization. During this period, all kinds of creatures no longer dared to plunder the resources of the mother planet like their ancestors, and instead turned their attention to the endless elemental energy in the universe, so they all studied the elemental energy, and everyone was a magician. The civilization was destroyed by the invasion of foreign enemies, and it is not known what the specific foreign enemy is.

The Fourth Solar Age is the Twincreek civilization about 800,000 years ago, which is known as the Atlantean civilization. It is also known as the civilization of science and technology or the civilization of light.

More than 10,000 years ago, the Atlantean civilization was destroyed, and the Mayan prophecy predicted that the earth had entered the fifth solar age: the Imotian civilization, that is, modern human civilization. But I prefer to call it a feudal civilization or a blood civilization. Unfortunately, according to Mayan prophecies, this civilization just ended on December 21, 2012.

Now, if the Mayan prophecy is reliable, the earth has actually entered the sixth solar age, and all the creatures on the earth have actually passed the alternating moment of the fifth or sixth solar age in a good manner, I don't know what to say, I can only smile bitterly in my heart: the Mayan prophecy may be a joke played by the ancient Mayans to everyone.

But is that really the answer?

I'm just a bad old man who lives out in peace, and I don't dare to promise anything, I don't dare to talk nonsense, and I don't have the magical prophetic abilities of the Mayans.

Perhaps it is in the Mayan ruins, in the broken and blurred frescoes, in the countless legends and myths, in the last prophecy of the great wizard before his death:

We don't have all of them here, but we belong here!
