Chapter 573: Infinite Staircase
From what he saw and guessed with his own eyes, Dongfang Chen thought of something of deeper meaning.
The Tower of Babel in Babylon, which first appeared in people's eyes, was just a fabrication of the Bible.
It is said that at that time they lived in the Garden of Eden: the mortals of the ancient Babylonian kingdom had lived a good life for a long time, and they did not know the height of the sky, and they tried in vain to escape God's judgment and go directly to heaven without repentance through atonement.
The Tower of Babel, as the name suggests, is the product of such hubris and ignorance.
But since physical evidence has been found here, it proves that the Tower of Babel is real. Obviously, the "stairway to heaven" argument is untenable, since ancient Babylon existed at least 3,000 years before the Bible was written.
If this is not the case, then what did the ancient Babylonians build the Tower of Babel for? Was it just to imitate the strange structure in front of them?
At this moment, Dongfang Chen suddenly shook his whole body and discovered a phenomenon that shocked him.
It turned out that when the spiral structure in front of him spun to a certain angle, he was surprised to find that the "entrance" at the bottom of the spiral and the "exit" at the top completely coincided, and they instantly merged into one.
Dongfang Chen was completely dumbfounded, he understood that he had made another careless mistake.
The so-called "exit" and "entrance" are actually two polyhedra. It is wrong to conclude that no polyhedron is the same shape and size as the spin motion through observation, except for the first and last two polyhedra.
The first and last two "ladders" are standard cubes, not only the size and color are exactly the same, but even all the rhythm trajectories are exactly the same, and even the minutes and seconds are exactly the same, and the degree of complete synchronization is like a mirror image.
Suddenly, a bold hypothesis arose in Dongfang Chen's mind. He slowly floated into the air, his head and feet close to the "exit", and held out a finger to touch the cube lightly.
Sure enough, the expected thing happened, and the finger disappeared abruptly within a certain range of the cube. Dongfang Chen, who used himself as a guinea pig, was startled at first, and then did not feel any discomfort in his fingers, and then looked down.
Sure enough, at the edge of the "entrance" cube, half of his fingers were impressively visible.
Next, in order to further confirm this phenomenon, Dongfang Chen returned to the ground and found a small pebble, starting from the "entrance" staircase, using the means of air control to let the pebble climb the spiral staircase. Upon reaching the top "exit", the pebbles disappear entirely, reappearing on the "entrance" staircase.
With this discovery, Dongfang Chen immediately put away his playfulness and observed the objects in front of him with a more serious attitude. Sure enough, he saw the clue, and the countless polyhedral structures arranged in a spiral were advancing in a spiral at an extremely slow pace. Whenever a polyhedron enters a certain radius of the Exit cube, it instantly disappears and appears in front of the Exit cube at the same time.
I'll go, this thing actually has its own spatial bridging function, it's incredible.
It's an infinite staircase! And it's an escalator! No matter how you climb, it's only repeated from one flight to the next, and it never ends.
Dongfang Chen immediately had more reverie.
The ancient Babylonians must have discovered this as well, so they saw this miraculous sight as a symbol of the cycle of life and death.
Since birth, a lifetime of hard work, isn't it just climbing the ladder? Finally, when I finally climb to the top, I hang up, and everything is empty, as if I have disappeared into the cube at the "exit".
But it doesn't matter, it will be reborn at the "entrance" staircase, and a new cycle will begin again.
The "exit" is the "entrance", and death means new life!
It turns out that this strange thing brought the ancient Babylonians such a view of life and death, and it was their belief and spiritual sustenance.
Hehe, it is not surprising that the entire national power was not hesitated to build the Tower of Babel in imitation of the gods.
Thinking about those ancients, it was really pitiful, with the ability and knowledge at that time, it was naturally impossible to build a spiral upward staircase out of thin air, so it was necessary to build a high tower first as an attachment to the "ladder of infinite reincarnation".
It turns out that there are stairs first, and then there are Babel Towers!
So here's the problem, this "infinite ladder of reincarnation" that fooled the ancient Babylonians for thousands of years......
Where did the hell come from?
Since Dongfang Chen solved the mystery of his life experience, he has become more and more interested in this kind of brain-burning puzzle game.
Besides, he was a historical archaeologist and was keen on exploring and chasing secrets, otherwise he would not have been involved in the mystery of Atlantis.
Now, the secrets of the Tower of Babel in Babylon have been solved, but the key questions remain unanswered.
Where did the spiral structure hidden beneath the Tower of Babel come from, why is there an Atlantis-specific Haven: Light, and why is it called a lighthouse in the parchment?
All kinds of questions had to make Dongfang Chen wonder more, did the "Infinite Reincarnation Ladder" also come from Atlantis? Does it have some relationship with light? Is it possible that it is just one of the so-called fragments of light?
From this point of view, the previous inference is basically correct. When Atlantis sank, I don't know what happened, and the crystal at the top of the lighthouse, which was the eternal light in the mouths of the people of Atlantis at that time and the remnants of later generations, shattered into several parts. It is called the fragment of light.
If the magical spiral in front of you is one of the fragments of light, then there must be many similar artifacts scattered all over the earth.
Among them, the artifact that has been proven to be a fragment of light, in addition to the thing in front of it, the most likely is that the "puzzle solving" organization went to great lengths to get information, and then summarized the staff of Moses mentioned in the report.
Since the story surrounding the Tower of Babel can be regarded as a bizarre event in which artifacts cause miracles, then there is no reason why the well-known Moses divided into the Red Sea should not be classified as such an event.
Looks like we have to make a trip to Egypt!
Thinking of this, Dongfang Chen took out a separate space storage prop, like collecting vegetables in his own vegetable garden, and gently and skillfully took the artifact that the ancient Babylonians had worshiped and feared for thousands of years into his own pocket.
I don't know how the kings of the ancient Babylonian kingdom who were buried in this holy place would have felt if they had known about it.
Because he was attracted by Haiwen on the stone pillar from the beginning, he directly revealed the most important secret of this secret room, Dongfang Chen felt that he could not get enough, because the secret room was too huge, and there were still many places that he had not yet seen.
At the very least, putting aside the belief in theocracy, we can also know more about the real life of the ancient Babylonians, right?
Dongfang Chen left the empty altar and began to investigate the place carefully under the illumination of many probes.
It didn't take long for him to discover a number of three-foot-square holes in the surrounding rock walls. A closer look reveals the remains of dry bones, many of which have been petrified and fused with the rock.
It turns out that this is not only a place of worship for the Holy Spirit, but also a mausoleum. Only people of a certain rank should be allowed to be buried here. For example, the royal family, the great priest, the great wizard and the like.
At this time, all the cuneiform characters that were depicted and recorded anywhere in this temple mausoleum were no longer incomprehensible to Dongfang Chen. These pictures and texts were supposed to be the legendary primitive cuneiform, which was very different from the meaning of the four hundred or so cuneiform characters that were later deciphered, so he did not dare to speculate.
But everything is the same, since it is a place of sacrifice and the words that appear in the tombs of the top figures of the kingdom, there are only a few meanings to express. Prayers, divination and prophecy, avoidance of calamities, songs of merit, anecdotes, and a brief biography of the deceased.
Thinking of this, Dongfang Chen looked at the dense black holes on the stone wall, and couldn't help but wonder a little: Could it be that these people are buried in the same shape in one go?
Isn't that too inconsistent with slavery laws? The king has to be special, right?
Look closer......
