These ancient civilizations all established their own countries. These civilizations all exist in the form of countries.
The Mayan civilization is different, it is a relatively loose city-state civilization. Just like Mexico today, although it is a country, it is a city-state composed of many city-states.
Anyway, Mexico is officially a country. The Mayan civilization in Mexico has never formed a complete country in history. They all exist in the form of city-states.
This is why everyone thinks that the Mayan civilization was destroyed by war. Because only war can make a civilization disappear in a very short period of time. In the history of Mayan civilization, it can be said that there were constant wars.
This is mainly because the Mayan civilization did not form a unified country. There have always been many city-state civilizations living together. In this case, there will often be wars between city-states and city-states.
It is very likely that the Mayan civilization disappeared because of the war. Of course, this can only be regarded as the words of the family. What caused the once glorious Mayan civilization to disappear in the Amazon jungle is also an unsolved mystery, waiting for our descendants to study.
Zhao Zhongyao is now driving a flying saucer car, taking his wife and children, and once again came to a place where ancient civilization remains. However, this relic is not an ordinary relic, but the most famous relic of the Mayan civilization in the world.
But this Mayan civilization is different from other civilizations. This is a civilization born in the jungle. For such a civilization, it is not easy to study her.
First of all, the Mayan civilization was in the jungle. This jungle is also the largest tropical rainforest in the world - the Amazon Rainforest.
The Amazon rainforest is a magical place where hundreds of thousands of species of various creatures live. There are top predators such as jaguars and anacondas. There are also many small carnivores and herbivores.
Of course, all kinds of insects live the most in the jungle. Although these creatures are somewhat inconspicuous. But in any ecosystem, the role of insects is also great. And the number is often the largest.
Insects can be said to be a very vigorous animal. From the sky to the ground, and in the water, there are shadows of insects everywhere. Especially in the tropical rainforest, there are all kinds of insects.
Some of these insects are poisonous and some are not. But no matter what, when humans are in the rainforest, they must be careful from clothing to actions. Because the tropical rainforest is a dangerous place, if you go deep into the jungle, if you are not careful, you may encounter danger.
Therefore, if you want to explore the jungle, you must be fully prepared. Even if you are not a professional, you must first learn some knowledge of survival in the jungle. Then before entering the jungle, you must be fully prepared.
Zhao Zhongyao's family is now fully prepared. They took a flying saucer car and flew over Mexico. First, I flew around this small country in South America and enjoyed the scenery of Mexico City. Zhao Zhongyao drove the flying saucer car again, and flew to the Mayan pyramid.
There are many Mayan pyramids. But the most famous is the Pyramid of the Sun on the Yucatan Peninsula. There are many pyramids on the Yucatan Peninsula. But most of them are small. Only the Pyramid of the Sun is a large pyramid.
The entire Pyramid of the Sun has a width of 225 meters and a height of 110 meters. This is an ancient architectural marvel comparable to the Great Pyramid of Egypt.
The name "Pyramid of the Sun" was given by the Aztecs when archaeologists visited the ruins after the Teotihuacan civilization disappeared, because it is not known what the Teotihuacans gave the pyramids. It was built in two stages. The first stage was built in about 100 years, expanding the pyramid to its current scale; after the second stage was completed, the base of the Pyramid of the Sun was about 225 meters high, with a height of 64 meters.
The second phase also saw the construction of an altar on top of the tower, although it is now out of sight. At the top of the pyramid, a temple-like building was built at the beginning of the 3rd century, about the same time as the Temple of the Feathered Serpent. During the construction of the pyramids, lime and gypsum were imported into Teotihuacan from the surrounding area and were used as raw materials for the colorful murals created by the Teotihuacan people. However, due to the age, these mural decorations and plasters have been completely invisible. Now only a few images on the side of the pyramid are considered to be part of the pyramid mural decoration, including the head of the jaguar, its claws, stars and snakes.
It was originally believed that the Pyramid of the Sun was dedicated to the gods of Teotihuacan society, but because the temple on the top of the tower has been destroyed, it has not been possible to determine the identity of the gods worshiped by the pyramid until now. Some scholars believe that the pyramid was dedicated to a great goddess, one of the two main gods of the Teotihuacan culture, but there is little evidence to support this theory.
The first major archaeological excavation of the site was carried out by Leoboldo Buttes in 1906. In 1910, the restoration of the Pyramid of the Sun was undertaken to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Mexico's independence, overseen by Butters. Over the past 100 years, archaeologists have drilled two passages through the sandstone Pyramid of the Sun, but have found no burials.
"The drilling work on the pyramid has been temporarily stopped because I don't know where to dig next time," said a nuclear physicist at the National Autonomous University of Mexico. However, Butters' modifications to the Pyramid of the Sun
Part of the complex has been questioned by later archaeologists. Excavations at Teotihuacan continue to this day. In 1925, Pedro Dorsey discovered the skeletons at four corners of the temple's foundation, which he believed were human sacrifices carried out in the temple.
Many scientists believe that there may be important relics hidden in the Pyramid of the Sun, but they have not been able to reveal the secrets of the Pyramid of the Sun. Physicists now hope to locate a possible burial chamber, or treasure chamber, inside the Pyramid of the Sun with a remarkable experiment. They set up a laboratory under the pyramid, using high-energy particles to detect the internal structure of the pyramid of the sun.
The Pyramid of the Sun was built via a man-made tunnel leading to a "cave" about 6 meters below the center of the pyramid. According to Wattl's legend, this is where human beings originated. More recent excavations have revealed that the site is man-made and may have been used as a royal tomb.
Scientists have recently used sub-detectors to try to discover other chambers inside the pyramid, but extensive looting has prevented the method of discovering the chambers of the Teotihuacan society. The orientation of this pyramid may have some anthropological importance. The Pyramid of the Sun is slightly to the northwest of the sunset level on April 29 and August 12, which are the calendar years for the Teotihuacan people.
The date of August 12 is important because it marks the beginning of the Mayan long-term cumulative calendar. In addition, many important astronomical and astrological activities can be observed at the site of the pyramid, and this information is very important to the agricultural and religious systems of ancient societies.
Its astronomical position makes people frightened. The light of Sirius, through the air passage on the south wall, can directly reach the head of the dead who is buried in the upper hall; while the light of the North Star, through the air passage on the north wall, can reach directly into the lower hall.
The superb tower building technology is also amazing, stacking layers from bottom to top and gradually shrinking, just like an exquisite and huge birthday cake. There are 91 steps on one side of the tower, reaching the top of the tower. There are 364 levels on all sides, plus the platform on the top of the tower, no more, no less, 365 levels, which happens to be the number of days in a year. The steps of the nine-story tower are divided into 18 parts. This again happens to be the number of months in the Mayan calendar year.
The place Zhao Zhongyao and the others want to explore this time is the largest one among the many pyramids on the Yucatan Peninsula, the Pyramid of the Sun. It is also the most famous of all Mayan pyramids.
Because, Zhao Zhongyao felt that only this sun pyramid could have a relationship with aliens. And only in this one big pyramid, maybe you can see alien flying saucers.
Zhao Zhongyao's family, now in a flying saucer car, has circled Mexico City. After admiring the scenery of Mexico, they flew to the Pyramid of the Sun on the Yucatan Peninsula.
At this time, it was noon. There are also many tourists near the Pyramid of the Sun. Zhao Zhongyao originally thought that he could directly drive a flying saucer car to the vicinity of the Pyramid of the Sun. Then let the flying saucer car land directly next to the Pyramid of the Sun.
But thinking about it again, this is a bit inappropriate. Because the last time they went to Stonehenge, some tourists didn't know that the flying saucer Zhao Zhongyao was driving was a flying saucer developed by the people on earth. Therefore, the flying saucer car driven by Zhao Zhongyao was regarded as an alien flying saucer. Therefore, when Zhao Zhongyao drove a flying saucer car over Stonehenge in the plains west of London, England, it surprised the local tourists. They hid one after another, as if they were afraid that aliens would take them away.
Later, although Zhao Zhongyao came out of the flying saucer car, he explained it to everyone. But everyone is still very curious about flying saucer cars. Everyone wants to take a ride in a flying saucer car and feel what it's like to ride the most advanced aircraft on earth.
At that time, Zhao Zhongyao felt a little upset about this matter! They originally went to Stonehenge to study alien civilization. However, because he talked a lot about flying saucer cars with tourists, Zhao Zhongyao felt a little upset. After all, they are not just out to travel, they have their own things to do. But if tourists are interested in flying saucer cars together, Zhao Zhongyao will spend a lot of time introducing flying saucer cars to tourists.
This time, Zhao Zhongyao didn't want to fly directly into the scenic spot of the Pyramid of the Sun. After all, the Pyramid of the Sun is one of the most famous attractions in the Mayan ruins. Although the number of tourists in this scenic spot cannot be compared with some domestic tourist attractions at all. But it is also a place with a lot of tourists.
Especially in this season, it is the peak season for tourism. There are many people who come out to travel. And this Mayan Pyramid of the Sun is a world-famous tourist attraction. Naturally, people from all over the world will come here to travel.
This time, Zhao Zhongyao didn't want to fly directly near the Pyramid of the Sun. He wanted to park the flying saucer car far away from the Pyramid of the Sun.
Because if it stops near the Pyramid of the Sun, it is still easy for tourists to find it. Especially when there is an aircraft flying over the Pyramid of the Sun, it is still easy for tourists to find it, even if it is far away from the Pyramid of the Sun, it is easy for tourists to find it.
Therefore, this time, Zhao Zhongyao decided to land the flying saucer car into a jungle one kilometer away from the Pyramid of the Sun. In this way, tourists who travel in the Pyramid of the Sun will naturally not be able to find this flying saucer car.
Of course, if Zhao Zhongyao wants to do this, he must discuss it with his wife and children. After all, it would be very costly to walk one kilometer from the Pyramid of the Sun to the Pyramid of the Sun.
Powerful, and quite dangerous.
Zhao Zhongyao now looked at his wife and children and said, "That's it, we can't watch flying to the Pyramid of the Sun scenic spot this time, we are going to park the UFO car in a jungle one kilometer away from the Pyramid of the Sun among."
Originally, Feifei, Tiantian, and Qu Yuqian thought that this time, Zhao Zhongyao would directly drive the flying saucer car again, and then fly to the scenic spot of the Pyramid of the Sun. But when Zhao Zhongyao said this, Feifei and Tiantian were a little puzzled.
Feifei looked at Zhao Zhongyao with puzzled eyes and said, "Dad, why are you doing this. We just drive the flying saucer car and fly to the Pyramid of the Sun scenic spot."
After listening to my brother's words every day, I also looked at Zhao Zhongyao and said, "Dad, we are about to fly to the Pyramid of the Sun soon. Why do we stop one kilometer away from the pyramid now? Why?"
Even Qu Yuqian looked at Zhao Zhongyao very puzzled. She also couldn't figure out what her husband did! It's just that the two children have already said what she asked, so she didn't ask any more.
After hearing what the two children said, Zhao Zhongyao looked at the two of them again and said, "This is because we can't let the tourists regard our flying saucer car as an alien flying saucer just because we are driving a flying saucer car this time.
