It took Jiangning a few days to come to the Guatemalan area. This is the territory and sphere of influence of the Mayan empire. This time, he chose the path left by the Mayans in the jungle instead of taking the jungle beast road. The Maya and their culture belong to the jungle culture. So if you want to find the Maya, you have to go to their city.
Although it has the most accurate map in the world, Jiangning still spends too much time crossing the jungle.
After nearly a day's travel, Jiangning finally saw the Mayan city. He tidied up and approached the city. As he approached, his figure was also found by the soldiers on patrol. The soldiers watched the strange figure in strange clothes and could not help holding the stone spear in their hands!
Jiangning came to the city and looked at the stone building. He admired the wisdom of the Maya. Although they are in the Neolithic age, they have made great achievements in mathematics, science, agriculture, culture, art and architecture. It is not inferior to the three civilizations of Asia, Africa and Europe, and in some places, it is more developed than the creation of modern human beings! They can't use wheelbarrows, they can't use copper and iron, but they built magnificent cities and temples with stones. Create a highly developed architectural civilization!
——
Looking at a few hieroglyphs written on the upper floor of the gate, with the help of proficient language and witchcraft. Jiangning knows the meaning of "El Mirador". It's a grand city! There are more than 30000 Mayan words. In this respect, it is not as good as China, which is close to 100000 words.
"What are you?" The soldiers looked at Jiangning with alert and curious eyes.
Both sides have similar skin color, hair color and pupil color, but different facial features. And Jiangning's skin is egg white, slightly yellowish! Hair color is the same, facial features are very different. The features of Indians are similar to those of Europeans, while the features of Chinese people are softer and have a soft beauty.
"I come from the other side of the distant sea, the land thousands of miles away! I come here with good will to study! " Listening to the stranger speaking his own language, the guards were obviously stunned. Realizing that Jiangning was a guest from afar, they lowered their weapons and welcomed him: "guests from afar, it's hard! Please go to the city first, and I'll report to the emperor! "
Jiangning nodded in agreement! Then he went into the city and looked carefully at the Mayan buildings. Almost all of them are made of boulders. And the layout is very reasonable, the city also built a magnificent pyramid. The streets in the city are very clean, which is different from Europe! The streets in Europe are full of feces. They are very messy! This is also the reason why Jiangning hardly enters the city! It's because it's so dirty.
——
After waiting for about 20 minutes, I saw a large group of people coming.
A group of people were carrying a gorgeous chariot. On the chariot sat a man with gold ornaments, emeralds and gorgeous feathers on his head. Not surprisingly, the Mayan Emperor himself came.
——
"Dear guest, Hello, my name is Pamela. Welcome to our hotel!" The emperor stepped down from his chariot and came over very hospitably. When he came to Jiangning, he began to introduce himself.
Although we know that the Mayans are very hospitable in history (just like the Chinese people!) However, I never thought that the emperor would come to meet me in person! Therefore, Jiangning made a very ornamental Etiquette: "without your consent, they come here, please don't blame the emperor!"
Pamela's eyes brightened. This kind of highly ornamental etiquette made him affirm that this strange guest came from a country with high civilization! Therefore, he kindly took Jiangning's arm: "Maya people welcome any friend to our home, dear friend, you must also come from a great country!"
Jiangning pointed to China: "on the other side of the sky, there is a huge land! My home is there, and so is my country! It's rich, highly civilized, and the army is invincible. Thwarted countless enemy attempts to invade! Moreover, the people there are as hospitable as the people under your rule! "
Pamela is very happy and very interested in Jiangning's depiction, even shocked that there is such a huge land in the world and the civilization living there! Therefore, he said with great interest: "dear friends, please come to the palace with me. Please tell me about your home. At the same time, I will show you the ancient books belonging to our Maya people
To tell you the truth, Jiangning was very interested in Mayan civilization, and the emperor would ask for it even if he didn't say it. Therefore, he immediately said, "I will introduce my country to you. At the same time, I also want to see the civilization achievements created by the Maya people!"
"Friend, you won't be disappointed!"
Then Pamela invited Jiangning to return to the palace in the same chariot with him!
——
With the arrival of Jiangning, Pamela specially prepared a luxurious banquet! All kinds of meat, fruits, corn, potatoes, tobacco, sugar, cocoa are all unique specialties in America!
At the banquet, Pamela warmly entertained Jiangning. Accompanied by his ministers and priests!
Although these are nothing, but considering the problems of the times, these things are very luxurious banquets.
Facing the emperor's invitation, Jiangning showed great interest in eating these American specialties. Then, he began to boast, Pamela listen to, the face of the fold brilliant can kill mosquitoes! It's true that it's not polite to come but not to go. How can Jiangning refuse to return such a treat?
As a result, with a wave of his hand, one dish after another of delicacies appeared on the stone table in front of him!
Facing the surprised eyes of the emperor and the ministers, Jiangning said with a smile: "please, your majesty, have a taste of the delicious food in our hometown!"
Pamela said with great interest, "are you also a priest?" In his opinion, that means is very similar to the priests of the country!
Jiangning shook his head: "I am not a priest, but a wizard! Two concepts. I'll tell you when I have time. "
Pamela was very happy. He ate the delicious food with great interest, tasted it, and his eyes lit up. Put aside etiquette and start eating.
After eating, he wiped the corners of his mouth and said with emotion, "your civilization is exactly what you said!" Chinese food is extensive and profound, there is no nation in the world that can not be conquered! Anyone who has tasted Chinese food will abandon it as if they were my shoes!
——
At the end of the banquet, the emperor ordered people to move the classics to Jiangning. For him to see, the fruits of their civilization!
According to records, in 1526, a Spanish expedition came to Maya. The warm and hospitable Maya sent the translator Jia Jue to introduce their civilization to Lando, the first bishop of Spain. Lando, who thought that he came from the highly developed civilized countries at that time, was frightened by the things recorded in the Maya classics. Unbelievably, he thought it was "the work of the devil" and ordered that all the classics carrying the splendid Maya civilization be burned.
——
Because the ancient books of the Maya were destroyed, it is difficult to verify the specific information about the Maya people of later generations! It can only be deciphered from some stone tablets, murals and pyramids. According to records, in 1966, a Mayan stone tablet on the top of the mountain of kerigua revealed to the world some information that happened 90 million years ago, or even 400 million years ago. In other words, the Mayan empire existed at least 400 million years ago, but 400 million years ago, the earth was still in the Mesozoic era, and there was no trace of human beings at all. No wonder Lando thought that the Mayan empire introduced by interpreter Jia Jue was "the work of the devil".
——
Today, Jiangning is able to read the complete information about Maya civilization. If it is known by later scholars who study the history of the Maya, they will certainly get all the information about the Maya empire that Jiangning knows at all costs.
He opened the thick ancient books and materials in front of him, which detailed the history and culture of the Maya people, including mathematics, science, architecture, agriculture, water conservancy, astronomy and calendar. With further understanding, Jiangning found that the Mayans were actually connected with the devil.
It actually records the information of hell and the way to summon the devil! Moreover, it also records information about the devil "bar"!
Barr, the devil, ranks first among the 72 pillar demons of King Solomon. He appears in various appearances, sometimes as a human, sometimes as other images. He spoke with a harsh voice. He was the greatest enemy of the Lord and the king of the East. He has the ability to make people invisible.
The question is, why are the Mayans associated with the devil? Or Barr, the king among the demons!
Next, Jiangning continued to understand deeply, only to find out that the Maya accidentally discovered the devil bar! It is 250 meters deep underground, hundreds of miles long tunnel found the devil bar! Thus summoned the devil bar, has carried on the sacrifice behavior!
And the devil bar kept in touch with the Maya because of this sacrifice! Teach them to develop civilization, although the devil is evil! However, the devil's knowledge and civilization belong to higher civilization. The more powerful the devil is, the more intelligent and powerful he is! And the devil belongs to higher wisdom life, has extraordinary ability! There is no defense or explanation for these magical and strange powers. Among them, there are demons who can predict the future. As one of the seventy-two demons, Barr, the devil, can fight against the Lord. Jiangning does not believe that Barr only has the ability to make people invisible, if so. Well, Barr is worthy of his position as the head monarch!
Now that everything is clear, it's no wonder that some of the Mayans' behaviors are called "devil's work" because of this!
