Chapter 226: The Mayan Pyramids
Erdan opened his eyes, his eyes were flowering, and there was just a ray of sunset light shining into his eyes. For a short time, he couldn't see clearly, and then Erdan was stunned, looking at the scene in front of him incredulously.
This, this, where is this? Erdan couldn't imagine that there would be such a place in the mountain pimple.
A deep pit with a radius of at least one kilometer appeared in front of Erdan, and Erdan stood on the edge of the pit. The pit was almost twenty meters deep, exactly in a circle, as if it had been artificially carved out of the mountain, and not a single tree could be seen, but it was covered with vines and bushes. In the middle of the pit there is a tall object, at first glance it looks like a small hill, the whole is covered by vegetation tightly, but the steps are still very distinct, the top is flat, and the whole is a quadrangular pyramid.
A noun flashed into Erdan's mind, the Mayan pyramids!
The setting sun shone through the cracks in the mountains, and the whole pit was illuminated. In this situation, Erdan has an indescribable feeling, depressed, shocked, and curious.
Yes, this is a pyramid, the yet-to-be-discovered Mayan pyramid, larger than any Mayan pyramid that has been discovered, comparable to the Pyramid of Khufu in Egypt. It's just that the Pyramid of Khufu was built in the desert and looked high-end, while this Mayan pyramid was built in a mountain lump and surrounded by tall mountains, which looked inconspicuous.
It is generally believed that the Egyptian pyramids were the tombs of the pharaohs, and the Mayan pyramids were used as mausoleums or sacrifices, so what was this Mayan pyramid hidden deep in the mountains used for? Why is it so large? Could it be that there was also a ruler in Mayan history?
The one-kilometer-deep pit has obvious traces of artificial excavation, and the edge is vertically downward, it cannot be a natural formation, that is, an asteroid hits the earth, it should also be a circular pit with a slope!! In other words, this "big pit" was indeed dug out by hand.
A 20-meter deep pit, with a radius of one kilometer, how many manpower and material resources do you need to complete! There is also the big pyramid in the middle, which looks even more domineering than the pyramid of Khufu, no matter how it is built, if it is built, the stone square used alone is also an astronomical amount!
Could the stone used in the pyramid come from this pit?
The pyramid must have been built by man, and the deep pit obviously showed traces of artificial excavation, so it makes sense to explain it.
The pit was already covered with shrubs and vines, and the bottom of the pit was not visible at all. The walls of the pit were also covered with vines, strip-like, thick and thin, like snakes.
Erdan did not know that under the dense vines there were countless white bones, the white bones of the Mayan ancestors, who died in order to build this pyramid, millions.
Millions of Mayans? Are there so many?
Take the construction of the Pyramid of Khufu, for example! The brick house once argued that it took 10 years to build a road to transport stone and a catacombs for the pyramids. During the construction of the Pyramid of Khufu, Khufu forced all the Egyptians to work for him, and they were divided into large groups of 100,000 people, each of whom had to work for three months. All the populations add up to a million and it took twenty years to complete. Of course, there is an element of braggadocio in these data, but the construction of such a huge number of people cannot be completed at all if there are few people, and the data still has some credibility.
And this Mayan pyramid is not inferior to the Pyramid of Khufu, in terms of volume alone, the height must be nearly 200 meters, and the original height of the Pyramid of Khufu is only 146.59 meters. Of course, the height of the Mayan pyramids includes the sacrificial temple at the top, which is about thirty meters high.
The appearance of this great Mayan pyramid may solve an age-old mystery about why the Mayan civilization mysteriously disappeared.
One day in 909 AH, 90 percent of the Maya population suddenly disappeared visibly, leaving only unbuilt monasteries. The Maya people as a whole left behind the painstaking construction of the city, abandoning the opulent temples, the majestic pyramids, the squares with neatly arranged statues, and the wide sports fields. The remaining Mayans began to become ignorant and decadent, or these remaining Mayans were originally stupid and uncivilized, so they were left behind.
The brick family called the beast and wondered where these disappeared Mayans had gone.
Oh, yes! The brick family called the beast is also a human, not a god, how can they know why the Mayans disappeared mysteriously, all speculation is destined to be speculation.
The answer is already on the horizon, and it is clear that these disappeared Mayans have come to the mountain knot where the second egg is located to build a pyramid that has never been seen before.
The mystery seems to have been solved, but more questions have arisen, what is this pyramid for? It was worth the entire Mayan race to build it. If it is only used for sacrifice, there is such a possibility, but it is not very likely, because if it is only used for sacrifice, why use such a large amount of manpower and material resources to almost exterminate the Mayan race.
Nima, everyone is hanging, who the fuck is here to sacrifice? Isn't that the truth?
Is there any other possibility? Could this Mayan pyramid be a mausoleum?
If it is really a mausoleum, it has to be the Mayan kings. But wouldn't it be too stupid for a king to devote all his power to building a pyramid for himself? It was comfortable to live in the pyramid after his death, and his son, the next generation of kings, who was still the king of the ball, was reduced to a small village chief at best, managing a bunch of remaining fools.
So it doesn't make sense that this Mayan pyramid was built for kings, and no bastard king would have built a pyramid for himself at the cost of genocide. Although Pharaoh Khufu also spent a lot of manpower and material resources to build pyramids for himself, at that time Maya could not be compared with Egypt, and the difference was far away. If we compare Egypt at that time to our Central Plains of China, Maya was at best a small country on the southwest border, an arrogant Yelang country, and so on.
So who will this pyramid be built for? What qualifications does this person have for the Mayan kingdom to do this?
Not to mention, there is really such a person, the god in Maya's mind, one of the werewolves, the Quetzalcoatl.
After the alien Quetzalcoatl was extinct on the planet where he lived, after N years of space wandering, one of the centaurs came to Earth by chance.
Don't be surprised, the werewolf technological civilization at that time was far better than the current technological civilization of the earthlings, N million years ahead, and the construction of spaceships is similar to the construction of a ship now.
