Chapter 1854 Mysterious Maya (4)

Although Dick Gill does not dismiss the claims of aliens, he does not hold out much hope. The most accurate description is disregard. He has his own set of theories.

"I have been studying this topic for many years, and I have a bold guess that the disappearance of the Mayan civilization was actually caused by drought."

When Yang Cheng heard that Dick Gil finally returned to the issue he mentioned before, he couldn't help but ask, "So you think natural disasters were the main reason for the Maya's demise?"

Dick Gill nodded deeply, "Yes, after several years of traveling to Mexico, the Arctic and other regions, I finally found evidence that the tropical rainforests of China and the United States suffered major droughts in the 9th century.

However, the theory that drought caused a highly developed civilization to disappear in just a hundred years does not seem to be accepted by people. At least several of my friends in academia do not agree with this speculation. "

Yang Cheng also put forward a different view, "How to explain the Mayan massacre site discovered in the Cancun jungle?"

Dick Gill fell silent, and Yang Cheng had to look for clues on the blackboard. Sure enough, in a corner of the blackboard, in an area circled with chalk, was the brutal crime scene left by the Mayans more than 1,000 years ago.

It was a huge puddle filled with corpses. It is not difficult to imagine the scene at that time. People were brutally killed, and then their bodies were thrown into the puddle and soaked for thousands of years.

Is this a sacrifice?

Just as their achievements in mathematics and astronomy are undeniable, so too is the Maya's penchant for violence and killing.

Putting aside the alien argument, for the Mayans, sacrifice is a very important ritual. The Mayans believe that the gods are supported by human blood, so they offer blood to the gods in the hope that the gods will give them sufficient food harvests as a gift. reciprocate, and recognize the divine status of their king.

So one possible answer to the massacre in the Cancun jungle is that the dead were sacrifices to the gods.

However, according to tradition, the Mayans would choose one or two high-status people as sacrifices to the gods, and they would also hold a grand ceremony.

However, too many dead people were buried in the jungle, and their bones were scattered everywhere. These people seemed to have neither died normally nor died from human sacrifice. So, who were they? Why was he killed? Did the Mayans really kill them?

Near the bones, archaeologists also found some pottery sherds, which were identified as being from 800 AD.

This is a very crucial clue,

This shows that this horrifying and brutal massacre occurred more than 1,200 years ago.

Later, after scientific identification, it was proved that the skeletons of the deceased were not all men, but also women and children.

In today's countries of Mexico, Belize, Guatemala and Honduras, they were once the territory of the Mayan Empire 1,200 years ago. There were about 50 independent city-states scattered around. The Mayans built majestic buildings on this land, and Countless exquisite works of art, invented the most complex written system and accurate astronomical calendar in the American continent, and even drew the entire starry sky.

Among these city-states, Cancun is by no means the largest, but it has the most advantageous geographical location.

Cancun is located at the intersection of the main trade routes between the Mayan city-states. The Mayans bought and sold items and transported goods through Cancun, which is equivalent to today's cargo transit center.

In addition, Cancun also had a powerful and outstanding king, Taji Chanak, who ruled Cancun for 40 years.

Each Maya city has its own king, but Tajichanak is the most outstanding of these kings. He leads his subjects to hold large-scale sacrificial ceremonies, offering blood, praying for peace, prosperity, and life-giving rain. He even did not hesitate to harm his own body - slashing his body, cutting his tongue, and piercing his organs.

It was precisely because of having a ‘holy king’ like Taji Chanak and its strategic position as a gathering place for trade routes that Cancun was pushed to the pinnacle of power and wealth.

However, in just 100 years, Cancun and all the Mayan cities around it became dead cities.

The bodies of the dead, where the massacre site is located, are actually a pool near the Royal Palace of Cancun - once a sacred pool for the Mayans.

Of course, now, when it was discovered, this place had long become an unnoticed mud pond deep in the rain forest. The corpses sank to the bottom of the muddy pond, and the bones were covered with mud and pond water. This also made them untouched in the changes of the past 1,200 years. to serious damage.

When archaeologists dug out the bones and used scientific techniques to examine them, in addition to determining the gender of the deceased, they also found that compared with normal human skulls, the skulls of the deceased were obviously abnormal - the foreheads of the deceased were obviously tilted towards the human skull. The head is retracted so that the sides of the head bulge outward, looking like a corn cob.

And science proves that this is not a physiological defect, that is to say, it is not caused by congenital.

Experts who have conducted in-depth research on the Mayan civilization all know that in the Mayan civilization, only the royal family can have corn-shaped skulls. When the skulls of children of the Mayan royal family are not fully developed, their heads will be clamped with wooden boards to slowly make the skulls slowly It grows into a vertical shape as a sacrifice to the corn god. After all, corn once played an important role in the life of the Mayans.

In the Cancun mud pools, archaeologists also found some things, such as jade!

To the Mayans, jade is more precious than gold.

The dead found in the mud ponds were wearing jade articles, and some of them were wearing something even more valuable than jade - necklaces made of jaguar teeth.

A jaguar has 4 canine teeth, and a necklace unearthed in Cancun has a total of 36 canine teeth. This means that to make such a necklace, at least 9 jaguars need to be hunted, which shows that it is valuable.

In addition, the deceased also wore the tail feathers of the Quetzal. In Mayan culture, this extremely beautiful feather symbolizes high status and can only be owned by nobles, because ordinary people are not allowed to kill the Quetzal privately, otherwise they will be punished. put to death.

Jade, pearls, jaguar canine tooth necklaces and quetzal feathers, these things can only be owned by nobles and royal families in the ancient Maya. The princes and nobles hope that they can still have a luxurious life after death, so they wear jewelry and hold jades to welcome them. Death, their bodies are covered with cinnabar, symbolizing that life can be eternal, and they also wear exquisite masks to cover up the decay of the flesh.

Therefore, the identity of the deceased in the Cancun Rainforest is obvious. They were the princes and nobles of the time.

What does this prove? It proves that the massacre 1,200 years ago was definitely not an ordinary killing, but a targeted one.
