Chapter 48: New Discoveries

After leaving Shennong Mountain, Lu Yuan first returned to his hometown, and then returned to Yingzhou Island.

I haven't seen my family for a long time, and Lu Yuan is also homesick.

In the first three days of going home, everyone got along quite happily, but from the fourth day, Lu Yuan began to be depressed.

Every time his parents eat, they count him down and force him to go on a blind date!

At first, Lu Yuan would talk back, but slowly he got used to it.

On this day, Lu Yuan was reading a book by the sea, and suddenly his brother Lu Tian called.

"Lu Yuan, what are you doing, hurry home!"

"Brother, what's the matter so anxious, it's not time to eat yet!"

"What's the matter, your business, my mother's friend Aunt Zhang is here with her daughter. ”

"What does this have to do with me, I don't know any Aunt Zhang!"

"Why doesn't it have anything to do with you, I think my mother means to let you go on a blind date!"

"No, brother, you have to help me this time, you told my mother that I went to Easter Island!"

"Brother, you don't know our mother's temper, how do you say my brother can help you, my brother doesn't want to be cut!"

"No matter how much, brother, I'll slip away first, and I'll leave the rest to you......"

After talking about the phone, Lu Yuan looked around, and after finding that there was no one, he jumped directly into the water.

On the other side, Lu Tian was trained by their mother to spray blood.

In the end, it was Lu Yuan's mother who accompanied Aunt Zhang's mother and daughter to play on the island for half a month.

And Lu Yuan had already run to Easter Island at this time.

Easter Island, located in the southeast Pacific Ocean, covers an area of about 117 square kilometers and is very famous all over the world.

It is about 3,000 kilometers from Chile on the South American continent and far from other islands in the Pacific Ocean, which are approximately triangular in shape and are made up of three volcanoes.

Easter Island is famous for hundreds of giant stone statues full of mysteries.

The island was first discovered by the English navigator Edward Davis, who found it desolate when he first landed on the island in 1686, but there were many huge stone statues erected there.

Davis was so amazed that he called the island "the land of misery and strangeness."

Easter Island is a grassland without any trees taller than 3 meters. The vegetation is dominated by shrubs and grasses.

Botanists have found only 47 species of native higher plants on the island, mostly herbaceous and fern, with only four dwarf shrubs.

Easter Island is famous for its huge stone statues, with more than 1,000 of them on the island and the ruins of the Great Rock City.

Stone statues, some of which weigh more than a dozen tons with a hat. They lie on the slopes of the mountains or on the seashore.

Among them, dozens of statues are erected on artificial platforms by the sea, alone or in groups, facing the sea and looking high. These legless busts are vividly shaped, with a high nose, deep eye sockets, long ears, a cocked mouth, and hands resting on their stomachs.

The stone statue is generally 5-10 meters high and weighs dozens of tons, and the tallest one is 22 meters and weighs more than 300 tons. Some of the statues also have red stone caps on their heads and weigh up to 10 tons.

Known locally as "moai", these stone statues are carved out of dark basalt and tuff, and some are inlaid with shells to form eyes.

It is precisely because of the wonders of Easter Island that many scholars who study the "Mu civilization" believe that the line between Easter Island and Fiji is the southern border of the legendary Mu continent.

It is said that there are also some ruins of stone temples from the time of the Mu Empire on Easter Island.

This time, Lu Yuan came to Easter Island to avoid blind dates, and on the other hand, he also wanted to explore some of the stone temple ruins on Easter Island.

Before Lu Yuan came to Easter Island, he was not actually interested in the giant stone statues on Easter Island.

Because, according to some scientists, these statues are only about a thousand years old. Obviously, it doesn't have much to do with the Mu civilization.

However, when Lu Yuan actually saw these statues, he became skeptical of the claims of some scientists.

Because Lu Yuan found that the appearance of these statues was not the same as that of the existing indigenous people on the island.

And he also found that some of the statues were definitely more than 1,000 years old, especially after talking to a local administrator.

Originally, the earliest scientists believed that these statues were carved about 800 years ago, but recent years have shown that these statues are much older.

Most of the statues date back at least 7,000 years. And according to the legend of the local population, when their ancestors landed on the island, the island was already inhabited, and later the two went to war......

Bidding farewell to the enthusiastic locals, Lu Yuan explored the island alone, although the area of Easter Island is relatively large, but the population of the island is very small.

The total population of the whole island is only 2,000 people, and it is not even as large as Yingzhou Island.

However, this is also a good thing for Lu Yuan, and he doesn't have to worry about someone interfering with his exploration.

According to the recommendation of the locals, Lu Yuan came to an abandoned quarry.

It is said to be a quarry, but in fact there is no trace of mining here.

The reason why it is called a quarry is actually because there are huge piles of stones that have been cut and polished.

These piles are about 7 meters high and 70-80 meters long. It looks as if it is a pile of goods, ready to be shipped somewhere as building materials.

Naturally, these things are not left by modern people, and they have existed for a long, long time in the legends of the islanders.

This immediately aroused Lu Yuan's interest, because Lu Yuan found that these stones were very similar to the materials used for the foundations of the buildings he had seen in the ancient city of the Kara Empire.

Lu Yuan speculated that these stones should have been mined before the sinking of the Mu Continent, but because of the sudden outbreak of the disaster, these things were abandoned here forever.

Leaving the quarry, Lu Yuan went to the island's most famous volcanoes, Lanararaka and Lanarao.

Both of these volcanoes are extinct volcanoes, and they both appeared about 12,000-13,000 years ago, which coincides with the time of the sinking of the legendary Mu continent.

Lu Yuan discovered the ruins of a large stone temple between two extinct volcanoes. Based on these collapsed stones, Lu Yuan roughly sketched a building about 35 meters long and 7 meters high.

At the outermost part of the ruins of the temple stands a stone wall about two meters high and two meters thick. There are actually some symbols on it.

After comparison, Lu Yuan found that these symbols were actually consistent with the symbols in the temples in the ancient city of Manoya, which made Lu Yuan very excited.

He couldn't wait to pass this discovery back to the "Kara Imperial Research Association", and the scientists of the association were also very excited after receiving Lu Yuan's information.

They sent researchers to Easter Island as quickly as possible to investigate the ruins of the stone temple.

After calming down his excitement, Lu Yuan continued to explore the ruins of the stone temple.

At this time, he made a new discovery, Lu Yuan found that there was a space about 10 meters underground.

After observing the surroundings, Lu Yuan found a place where no one was around, and quietly performed the Escape Technique to enter the ground.

After he broke through the fourth layer of Qi training, the Earth Escape Technique had also reached a small level, and now he could dive about 50 meters underground, and his speed was much faster.

A few minutes later, he came to the same underground space he had found earlier, which was very small, only a few square meters in size. However, Lu Yuan still made a major discovery here.

In the underground space, Lu Yuan found seven stone tablets engraved with words.

Lu Yuan immediately took pictures of the words on these stone tablets and sent them to the "Kara Imperial Research Association", and then put them into the Xiaoding space.

After doing this, Lu Yuan made some more explorations in the ruins of the stone temple, but there were no new discoveries.

Seeing that it was getting late, Lu Yuan returned to his residence on the island.

On the morning of the third day, Lu Yuan received a message from Professor Sun.

It turned out that after two days, archaeologists had translated some of the contents of the first slate.

"When this island first appeared and was discovered by our ancestors, there were beautiful stone paved roads on the ground.

The stone slabs are delicately arranged, with no obtrusive corners exposed.

There are ** trees growing densely on the side of the road. They intersect in mid-air, branches intersecting like muscles. ”

Judging by the inscriptions on this stone tablet, these stone tablets are supposed to have been left by the first aborigines to arrive on this small island.

The above records clearly show that there was once a highly developed civilization on this island.

Everyone knows that a small island alone will definitely not be able to support a highly developed civilization, and this discovery is also a strong proof of the real existence of the civilization of the Mu continent.

By the fifth day, the archaeologists had arrived on Easter Island. They came directly on the Xuanwu.

Now the Xuanwu has dismantled the salvage equipment on the ship and has become the most important means of transportation on Yingzhou Island.

After Lu Yuan secretly loaded the slate onto the ship, the archaeologists also translated the contents behind the first slate.

"The man who built these roads was none other than Heck, who sat in a privileged position in the palace, and the roads led from the palace in all directions. ”

"In this beautiful and happy land, once lived Romaha and his beloved Hangawa. ”

"Tulaki used to listen to the birds and feed them. ”

"The gods from the north govern this beautiful land, and when the heavens and the earth get cold, the gods return to the north. ”

"The spider with black and white spots could have reached the northern divine court as well, but it was blocked by the bitter cold. ”

Looking at these translated words, Lu Yuan was excited.

As we all know, Easter Island today has an endless Pacific Ocean in the north, and there are almost no small islands.

So where do these so-called gods go?

Lu Yuan guessed that the gods here should refer to the people of the Mu Continent.

Think about it, if modern people drove cars and planes to primitive tribes thousands of years ago, would they also regard modern people as gods?
