Chapter Ninety-Four: The Mystery of Vanishing
"Lu, look at this side!"
"Looking at these buildings, does it feel familiar?"
Lu Yuan looked around carefully, and he really had a sense of déjà vu.
"At that time, Teotihuacán's business model was very mature, and its commercial, artisan and residential areas were all divided. ”
"In particular, the urban planning is basically the same as that of the Zhuxia city at that time. ”
"Not only that, but I also found a piece of porcelain in the business district!"
"Porcelain?" Lu Yuan was shocked, because at that time, only Zhuxia had porcelain in the world, and the porcelain technology was not yet mature.
"Harry, where's that porcelain?"
Harry sighed, "The porcelain was snatched by the militants not long after it was discovered, but I still have a picture of it, I'll show it to you tomorrow!"
Lu Yuan nodded, feeling very sorry in his heart.
Following Harry around the business district, Lu Yuan found a lot of things that were quite similar to Zhuxia.
The first is urban construction, and in urban planning, Teotihuacan is quite similar to the Zhuxia cities of the 3rd and 4th centuries AD.
In addition to this, Harry also took Lu Yuan to find some Zhuxia-style reliefs on a kind of temple relief.
These things prove from the side that there really is some kind of connection between Teotihuacan and Zhuxia.
Lu Yuan had now come to believe Harry's claims. The country to which Teotihuacan belongs should be the "Fuso Country" recorded in the ancient books of Zhuxia!"
However, the Teotihuacan civilization itself is also very distinctive.
Not only does it have a well-developed handicraft industry, but agriculture is also very developed.
As can be seen in the various murals in the ancient city, farmers can trade their produce freely in the market.
There are also farmers' markets in the city dedicated to the trading of agricultural products.
Through the murals, Lu Yuan was surprised to find that the people of Teotihuacan literally owned all kinds of cars.
Prior to this, Lu Yuan, like most people, had always believed that the people of Mizhou had no wheels and no metal tools.
But now that he met Teotihuacan, he realized that his previous understanding was incorrect.
While it is impossible to know whether the later Mayans and Aztecs actually did not master the technology of making wheels, it is clear that wheels were owned by earlier Myzhous.
Lu Yuan, led by Harry, carefully visited the entire ancient city.
The cultural and artistic achievements of the people of Teotihuacan are also quite high.
Although only the tip of the iceberg can be seen now, it can also be glimpsed from the large number of murals and reliefs they left behind.
A variety of murals and reliefs can be seen throughout the ancient city.
Pyramids, palaces, temples, dwellings, handicraft workshops, markets. Murals and reliefs can be seen almost everywhere there are buildings.
They also represent a wide range of things: people, animals, plants, entertainment, mythology, idols, sacrifices...... There's a lot of everything.
Visiting the entire ancient city, Lu Yuan became more and more puzzled in his heart.
For such a developed civilization, it was definitely a giant in its time, and why did it perish?
Lu Yuan knew some information that was made public by the outside world, and Lu Yuan couldn't get any useful information from this information.
Lu Yuan couldn't help but ask Harry this question.
Harry nodded solemnly, and then led Lu Yuan to a very remote place.
Lu Yuan looked around and found that there should have been a large building here.
But now there are only a few ruins left.
Harry led Lu Yuan into the ruins, the ruins were cleaner than Lu Yuan had imagined, and it was obvious that there were often people maintaining them.
Harry led Lu Yuan to a half-left wall.
The walls are full of slow paintings and reliefs.
However, the paintings and reliefs here are markedly different from those found elsewhere in the ancient city.
Although these reliefs are also carved with Quetzalcoatl, the Quetzalcoatl in this place looks very eerie.
The people of Teotihuacan, like the later Mayans, worshipped Quetzalcoatl in prayer for good weather.
Elsewhere the statues of Quetzalcoatl are majestic.
But the difference here is that the statues here are all with big mouths and tongues sticking out, looking like they want to eat people.
Not only has the statue of Quetzalcoatl changed, but the other statues are completely different.
Lu Yuan found that there were small dots in the hands of the rain god on the relief here.
Normally, these dots represent rain.
But the little dots that came out of the rain god's mouth were red.
Rain obviously can't be red, only blood donations do.
Lu Yuan then saw the statues of other gods, and all the gods seemed to have become ferocious and tyrannical overnight.
Some of the reliefs and paintings even depict the god holding a heart dripping with blood.
"Harry, how did these reliefs suddenly change so much, could it be that a foreign tribe has conquered Teotihuacan?"
Harry shook his head, "Teotihuacan is actually much more powerful than we originally thought!"
By the 4th century, Teotihuacan had actually developed into a powerful empire.
The empire was so vast that it not only occupied the whole of Mexico, but also the southwestern part of the country, Guatemala, Honduras, Belize and other places.
The Teotihuacans occupied much more territory than the Mayans and Aztecs before they disappeared.
After all these years of research, there was no major war in Rice Island before the disappearance of the Teotihuacans.
When the Aztecs arrived, Teotihuacan was a desolate ruin.
And there is no trace of war in the sight of these buildings preserved in the city!"
Lu Yuan nodded and said, "Could it be because of illness or flood?"
At this time, Lu Yuan suddenly thought of the global flood event that occurred 5,000-7,000 years ago.
Harry still shook his head: "After careful archaeological research, we have not experienced major infectious diseases and natural disasters in the whole of Central Rice and Mexico around the 8th century. ”
With that, Harry led Lu Yuan around the ruins to a wooded area.
"Lu, did you see that big pit?"
Following Harry's finger, Lu Yuan saw a large pit next to the forest.
"It is the sacrificial pit of the late Teotihuacans, and when the Westerners first came here, 136,000 skulls were found in the pit!"
Lu Yuan couldn't help but shudder, "Harry, you mean to say that the Teotihuacans have carried out large-scale human martyrdom?"
Harry nodded silently, "Yes, there were indeed large-scale human martyrdoms in the late Teotihuacan period, but what I still can't figure out is why such a highly civilized Teotihuacan suddenly became so bloody and cruel......"
