Chapter 264 Feathered Serpent God Kukulkan

"Doomsday Madness 1999"

----------

Fang Hong cut off the live broadcast, quickly resolved his physical problems, then went down the mountain and gestured for his backpack, and then climbed up the mountain to turn on the live broadcast.

"Brother Gun, why did you go?"

"Are you stupid? What else can you do early in the morning?" A water friend laughed.

The round-the-clock live broadcast is also thanks to Fang Hong's good stomach, otherwise he would broadcast a woolen yarn.

"I don't know the age of these stone buildings. They have turned light yellow, but they are different from the color of the pyramids."

Chinese characters are powerful and can express many meanings at the same time. For example, the translation of the pyramid is wonderful, not only telling its shape, but also telling its color.

That's why when people mention the Mayan pyramids, the memory is not so deep, and the reason is that the Mayan pyramids are not golden.

This Mayan building is a boxy building in appearance, with two steps below and a square building above.

"From the point of view of this building, at least from the outside, it should be a temple. As for what kind of temple it is, you have to go inside to see it."

There are Mayan ruins everywhere on this land, and it is impossible to mark all of them on the map, so Fang Hong doesn't know what kind of temple this is. If he knew in advance, he wouldn't have to sleep on the back of the mountain.

"Can you go in?"

"As far as I know, it's possible." Fang Hong: "In the documentaries of the early era, when the Mayans living in caves were offering sacrifices, some people also entered the temple. There should be no problem."

"The Mayan pyramids also carried the king's corpse. From a certain point of view, only the inferiors would be in awe of the gods, because the king's tomb is obviously bigger than the temple, and it is the same in Egypt."

There is a stone gate on the side of the temple facing the bottom of the mountain. Enter through it. After a short period of darkness, Fang Hong gradually sees the scenery around him: "Human eyes have a self-regulating function. You will choose to zoom in or zoom out to gather light and astigmatism, of course, you can’t feel it from the screen, because the backlight of the screen itself is always fixed.”

When looking at things on the screen, even if it is completely black, it is still bright, but now many smart TVs will cut off the backlight when there is a black background, giving a completely black screen, but at least it is not popular yet.

In front of me, there are many different carvings, but there is no text on them: "The reason why I want to go to Guatemala is because the center of the entire Mayan civilization is in Guatemala. The two countries in the world that are famous for the Mayan civilization are Mexico and Honduras, but The center of Maya was in Guatemala back then, and the main part of the Mayan script was only found in Guatemala. There are many patterns on the walls here, which are not actually text.”

These patterns are all square, similar to Chinese characters, but they are not words.

"The Mayan script is a very unique script. Its complexity makes it impossible for this script to be widely spread. The Mayan script is also a pictographic script, but at the same time they are divided into two parts, one for the image and the other for the sound. This makes it difficult to decipher the Mayan text, because the Mayan language has also changed and it is difficult to recover. Secondly, the Mayan text is not written on paper, but carved on stone. They have a distant relationship. Near back, from top to bottom, from left to right, they are expressed not as a single sentence, but as a huge square composed of multiple characters and symbols, the more complex the meaning, the more complex the composition."

Our ancestors also invented hieroglyphics, but our ancestors were smarter. For example, mad, which means that it is close to a beast without human reason. Wang is Yin, and finally read mad, such as hawk, mad is The sound, combined with the word bird, describes a crazy bird of prey.

It is the same in Mayan scripts, but they cannot be deciphered.In other words, there was a fault in their civilization, so when a word similar to hawk appeared, no one knew what to read, and could only barely know what kind of thing or things it described.

The carvings next to it are indeed very exquisite: "The Mayans did not know how to use metal objects, so they pushed the stone shell to a new level. The Mayan writing appeared around BC, and the earliest stone inscription found today is 270 AD Left and right. Unfortunately, as the only race that invented writing on the American continent, it was not the first race to inscribe characters on the American continent.”

"My Cao?"

"I, Cao, sure enough, are there really alien relics?"

"There seems to be something tricky about it, Brother Gun, please explain in detail."

"Unfortunately, two stone inscriptions were discovered in South America the year before last, both of which were written in Chinese characters. One is from the Western Han Dynasty, and the other is from the Song Dynasty."

"Brother Gun, bragging, how do you know that it was the Western Han and Song Dynasties, can stones be tested for carbon fourteen?"

Fang Hong spread his hands: "We don't need to test them for carbon fourteen at all, do you know why?"

"Low brothers in front, can we understand our own characters? We can recognize the characters of every dynasty, and we can tell the era of stone carvings at a glance."

"Correct answer." Fang Hong: "Since ancient times, there have been records about various people's expeditions to the east, but very few have come back and been confirmed. These stone carvings are one of the few evidences."

Fang Hong continued walking towards the inside of the temple. Although the temple looked small, it actually had a lot of space inside. The reason was the same as Sun City, part of it was buried by soil, and there were still some buildings under the mountain.

In front of him, a huge stone carving appeared, on which was a creature similar to an elephant, but the elephant's trunk had a snake's head, and there were many details similar to clothing.

"Brother Gun, this is the mansion of this temple!"

Fang Hong was stunned: "This god is so famous that I dare not even recognize him."

"What god? Is it the highest god in the Mayan pantheon?"

"The god of creation in the Mayan pantheon is called Unab, but this god is not important in the pantheon. In our mythology system, Pangu is the god of creation, but he is not as important as Fuxi and Nusnail. In Greek mythology Among them, the creator god is not as important as Zeus, and the reason for this is that these civilizations are extremely long, from primitive worship to matriarchal society, from matriarchal society to patriarchal society, and when the regime changes, the mythology will also change. "Nv Snail The ancient Chinese reading method should be matrilineal, just like Fuxi's reading method is patrilineal. The ancients knew very well what the gods they created were entrusted with.

In Mayan mythology, a total of four generations of human beings were created. The first generation is clay figurines, the second generation is wooden people, the third generation is new wooden people, and the fourth generation is corn people. The Mayans believed that they were used by gods. It is made out of corn, but the connection between the legendary first-generation clay figurines and female snails cannot be investigated.

"In Mayan mythology, Unab means an existing god, or the only god. The most important god in their mythology is the god Itsumna, who is the parent and son of Unab. The Lord of Heaven, the god of night and day, the king of gods, is in the form of a dragon."

It is easy to understand that there are only two choices for a creator god, either he is the only god, just like Christianity and Christianity, and the other choice is to transcend the gods and let other gods be the king of gods, Such as Zeus and Jade Emperor.

As the only god, he created everything in the world, so it is impossible to mix with other gods. Gods with such signs cannot be believed in.For example, in Journey to the West, the creator god of Journey to the West is Taishang, and the opening chapter is Taishang who opened the sky, so the myth system of Journey to the West cannot be regarded as an object of worship in China.

"Dragon shape? Brother Gun, shouldn't the dragon-shaped god be called the Feathered Serpent God? Legend has it that the Feathered Serpent God in South America looks like a dragon."

"As I said before, there are many dragon-like existences in the mythology of the Pacific Islanders, but there is no mention of the Feathered Serpent God that is widely rumored on the Internet. Do you know why?"

Of course the water friends don't know.

Fang Hong pointed to the god's mansion standing on his hind legs, wearing armor and having a snake head on his nose on the stone carving: "This is the Feathered Serpent God——Kukulkan."
