Chapter 1880 The Crystal Skull Appears

“As for metal, it’s actually very simple to explain, it’s similar to wheels.

Because the ecological environment of the Americas is relatively simple, and there are no large livestock that can be ridden, there have never been any nomadic peoples in the Americas. Therefore, most American civilizations are agricultural civilizations.

The core task of agricultural civilization is to grow food. Because there is no such interference as being invaded by nomadic civilization, their concentration on agricultural technology is actually more than that of the civilization of the Old World. This has caused the Mayan civilization to be extremely developed in agriculture. .

Through the large number of high-yielding crops it cultivated and the precision agricultural system it established, the Mayan civilization was actually very wealthy in many cases.

Therefore, it can maintain its existence for a long time in the absence of mechanical civilization, and conduct in-depth research on knowledge such as mathematics and astronomy. At the same time, literature and art have also flourished.

Because of this, without urgent demand and motivation, there is naturally no need to continue to develop metal machinery. Without foreign invaders, there is no need to fight. If there is no need to fight, there is no need to bother to develop sharper and more threatening weapons. Under the circumstances of worry, the pursuit of efficiency is not so strong, and naturally there is no need to use metal and wheels to facilitate production operations.

But the Mayans actually mastered the relevant technologies, but they were not promoted on a large scale because of low demand.

Moreover, the Mayans may have discovered the destructive power of weapons developed by metal. In order to prevent large-scale mutual aggression and persecution between races, metal, a highly destructive thing, was strangled in the cradle and was used as currency at most. Or used as decoration.

To be honest, this kind of civilization, which is extremely scientific from a modern perspective, is much more fragile than the civilization of the old continent.

As a result, the nightmare naturally came, the Mayan civilization collapsed, many cities were abandoned, and the level of civilization also regressed.

Of course, whether it is my research or the research of other scholars, there is no widely agreed conclusion on this phenomenon of civilization regression. The relatively mainstream view is that the Maya may have reached the land bearing capacity due to excessive population expansion at that time. limits, and the lack of resources has led to years of war between different states, and finally led to the total collapse of the environment and the ZZ system.

In addition, the epidemic of plague may also be a possible reason for the collapse of the Mayan civilization, and this can also be said to be a typical manifestation of the fragility of the single agricultural civilization in the Americas. "

The logic is sound and tenable. Yang Cheng has no way of questioning it this time.

He couldn't help but said with some disappointment, "So, it is almost impossible to find clues of memory metal from the Mayan civilization?"

Safra scratched her hair;

He hesitated, "It can't be said that it's completely impossible. Maybe the Mayans really have mastered the technology of memory metal?

Anyway, I’m not surprised what the Mayans do~”

Yang Cheng was speechless. Hey, this idiot fan who was probably a Mayan fan asked an idiot fan about his idol and always got the most positive and positive answer. It was a waste of saliva.

When Yang Cheng didn't get the answer he wanted, he was ready to leave. There was nothing to visit in the courtyard anyway, and he didn't expect Safra to entertain them with delicious food. In this case, there was no need to stay.

He took the opportunity to say goodbye to Safra, but to his surprise, Safra retained him and said, "Wait a minute, I'll show you something again."

After saying that, without waiting for Yang Cheng's reaction, he ran out of the room without knowing where he went.

Yang Cheng and Luo Yue were left with confused faces.

It wasn't until Safra came up with a small safe, opened it with fingerprints and passwords, and took out a 'crystal skull' that Yang Cheng and Luo Yue woke up from their dazed state and fell into a trap. In a state of near panic.

Of course, panic appeared more on Luo Yue, but Yang Cheng was not panicked, just surprised. He didn't expect that there would be a real 'surprise' this time.

He pointed at the skull and said tremblingly, "Is this the legendary crystal skull?"

Safra could not hide her pride, "Exactly~"

Many people's understanding of the Crystal Skull comes from the movie "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull", in which the Crystal Skull is the skull of a mysterious alien who created ancient human civilization.

Although in reality archaeologists are not sure that crystal skulls come from extraterrestrial bodies, the legend of 13 mysterious crystal skulls does puzzle people. Most of them appear in Central America, such as Honduras and Mexico. People associate them with the mysterious Mayan people. Civilization and the pyramids are connected.

Crystal skulls are made of high-purity transparent crystal. There are no obvious signs of tool cutting on them. They are made without considering the natural axis of the crystal. This is also difficult to achieve with today's science and technology. If the laser is fired When it enters the nasal cavity of the crystal skull, the skull will emit light and the surface will act like a prism.

Interestingly, about 7 or 8 years ago, a research team composed of British and American scientists used electron microscopy and X-ray crystallization technology to conduct experiments on crystal skulls collected in the British Museum and the Smithsonian Museum in the United States. detection.

Detailed analysis of the skull surface revealed extremely fine rotational scratches near the eye sockets, teeth, and skull. It was obvious that this cutting and polishing technique originated from a jewelry processing equipment called a "rotating wheel." At that moment, all fools knew, It was impossible for the ancient Mayans to master this processing technology. This kind of tool did not exist at all before Columbus discovered the New World of America!

Therefore, the researchers concluded that these crystal skulls were manufactured in Europe and were made of Brazilian colorless crystal.

It is very likely that these crystal skulls were specially made by interested people and sold to collectors at high prices in the name of the mysterious relics of the ancient Mayans.

After the research results came out, many museums canceled the display of the crystal skull, casting doubt on its origin and believing that it did not have archaeological research value.

However, what is interesting is that the research results were not announced to the world with great fanfare. In other words, the research results were not recognized by the industry!

There are currently 13 known mysterious crystal skulls scattered around the world, the most famous of which is the "Doomsday Skull".

The Doomsday Crystal Skull is held by Anna Mitchell Hedges, who inherited it from her adoptive father, British adventure writer Mitchell Hedges.

According to Anna, the history of this crystal skull can be traced back to 3,600 years ago. The skull's eyes can emit blue light. When it is placed next to a computer, it has caused the computer hard drive to "crash" many times.

Currently, the crystal skull has never been subjected to any experimental testing because the current owner did not allow it.
