Chapter 975 Inheritance of the Old Sages, Olmec Holy City

The night is getting dusk, the moonlight is faint. Clusters of bonfires were lit on the coast. The aroma of roasted food diffuses between the tidal flats and hills. The king's flag of the black wolf stands on the hill, like some kind of solemn will, it has never moved a bit. Only at this moment, there is a bonfire on the hill at night, and a lot of grain fragrance is floating in front of the flying flag.

Xiulot sat cross-legged in front of the fire, eating soft tortillas while chatting with the generals beside him. And after racking his brains, General Papp finally spoke. He complimented vaguely and clouded for a while, and then began to talk about the topography of the seaside.

"Your Highness! There are thousands of miles of beaches and jungles, and four inland waterways that can be relied on. From west to east, the main ones are the adobe river in Jinwan City, the Baiqiu River in the east of Coyote City, the Hidden Snake River in Hidden Snake City, and the Sunrise River in Sunrise Village..."

"Among them, the big adobe river connects four large city-states. Its specific river course is the mouth of Jinwan City - Cone House City - Feather Bird City - Earth River City - the upper reaches of the Mixtek Plateau Valley. The downstream of this big river is firmly in the hands of the Kingdom, and it can be regarded as the heartland of the New Seashore Alliance!..."

"Then, the Baiqiu River twists and turns, and connects three large city-states through its downstream tributaries. Baisha Village enters the sea - Carved Stone City - Coyote City - Rabbit Hill City - upstream Zapote Oaxaca Valley. Its tributaries pass through the third ancient Olmec city Zapotes. And the downstream of this big river is basically taken by the kingdom right now.

"Further to the east, the Hidden Snake River connects two large city-states, and even connects the great lake from north to south! The estuary of Hidden Snake City--the ruins of the first ancient Olmec city--Grass Altar City--the jungle tribes in the upper reaches--The Zapotec coastal tribes in the upper reaches. The Caotan City in the middle and lower reaches of this big river has been captured by the kingdom, and the sacred place of sacrifice at the ruins of the first ancient city is also under the control of the kingdom!..."

"Further to the east, the Sunrise River and the Red River in Honghu Town connect to the upper reaches of the river system and connect the mountains and forests of Sok. Along the way of this big river is the entrance of the Sunrise River / the entrance of Honghu Town - the ruins of the second ancient Olmec city La Venta / the ruins of Sky City - Pingshui City - Yuanshui City..."

"As for the fourth ancient city of Olmec, the city of hills, it is connected to Jihu City through waterways. These two city-states on the west side of the Great God Mountain are not connected to a large water system. They are relatively isolated and are all under the control of the kingdom..."

General Papp stretched out his fingers, and by the light of the fire, he drew the general flow direction of four water systems on the muddy ground in front of the campfire, and also marked the locations of the four ancient Olmec cities. As a high priest, he has indeed passed on the oldest knowledge of priests. The most valuable of these knowledge is the mountains, hydrology and geography that are most valuable for the army to conquer.

"Your Highness! If the Kingdom wants to rebuild the Olmec holy city, it should choose one of the four ancient Olmec ruins to rebuild. From the perspective of the seaside, mountain, and even Mayan ministries, the most undisputed, oldest and most sacred ancestral holy city is naturally only the oldest and the original ancient city, the first powerful city-state of glue people... that is the first ancient city of Olmec, 160 miles southwest of Hidden Snake City and 40 miles north of Caotan City!  …"

Speaking of this ancient and sacred city-state ruins, the surrendered general Papu couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion. With an excited expression, he chanted the sacrificial poems that have been passed down for a long time, and praised from the bottom of his heart.

"Ah! Praise the ancient gods, that is the dawn of the first era! Thousands of years ago, the gods came out of the jungle and stopped there for the first time!... On the fertile soil beside the river, the gods illuminated the sun, passed on the divinity of the sky and the galaxy to the ancient saints, and built the first sacred ancient city... And the dozens of tall stone carvings of the gods are the faces of the gods and ancient saints.

"Thousands of years ago?"

Hearing such rhetoric, Xiulot raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise.

"Pap, do you know how long this first Olmec ancient city has been passed down?"

"Uh...Your Highness, let me do the math. This ancient city also has a long-chronic stele, which is the oldest chronological number. In fact, the ancestors of the Mayans also originated from the first ancient city. And their long-chronological stele is the testimony of this inheritance..."

General Papp lowered his head, drew dots and horizontal lines in the mud, and calculated the Long Epoch Calendar in base 20. This kind of calendar calculation is not easy, and it has gradually begun to be lost with the fighting among the Mayan states, the coastal tribes, and the jungle tribes. After a while, the general Papp came up with a definite answer. In front of the generals and warriors, he suddenly beamed and shouted confidently.

"Lord God bless! God bless Your Highness! The establishment of this first ancient city has gone through 7 Bak'tun years, 4 Ka'tun years and 12 Tun years (Tun)!...Among them, 7, 4, and 12 are auspicious numbers, and 7, 5, and 0 are auspicious numbers! From auspiciousness to great auspiciousness, it is within these eight years...In other words, this is the blessing of the Lord God! Within eight years, the oldest Olmec first ancient city will be in your highness Rejuvenate in your hands!..."

"Huh? Eight years, from auspicious to great auspicious?..."

Seeing Papp's familiar operation, Xiulot's eyes flickered for a while, noncommittal. He silently calculated that a Birke year is 400 years, a card shield year is 20 years, and a shield year is 1 year. 7 Burkes, 4 Kaduns, and 12 Dunn years together, it is 2892 years ago, and now it is 1491... That is to say, according to Papu’s priestly inheritance, this ancient first ancient city was first established in 1402 BC, which is the early period of the Shang Dynasty in China, a real ancient city!

In fact, the site of the first ancient city at present is called San Lorenzo Tenochtitlán (San Lorenzo Tenochtitlán) in later generations. It was indeed founded in the 14th century BC, during the Shang Dynasty in China. This is an extremely large-scale ruins, similar to Dayi or Yin Ruins. It was the political, economic, religious and cultural center of the ancient Olmec era, and it is also the oldest large-scale city-state excavated in Mesoamerica in later generations!

Therefore, the establishment of this first ancient city is the true beginning of the Olmec civilization, and it is also the first flame of civilization in various parts of Central America! It is more than a thousand years earlier than the Mayan civilization in the central jungle and the Teotihuacan civilization on the plateau. It deserves to be the cultural ancestor of all parts of Central America!

As for the so-called auspiciousness, eight years later, 7 Berk years and 5 Katun years, that is 2900 years...Of course, for the priests of various ministries, whether it is auspicious or inauspicious usually depends on the person who divination or offering sacrifices...

"Witness of the Lord God! The first ancient city of the Olmec era, established nearly three thousand years ago, is the common ancestor of all tribes. It is indeed the most suitable Olmec holy city!"

After some detailed thinking, Xiulot finally made a final decision and chose this oldest and first ancient city as the reconstructed Olmec holy city, as the sacred ancestral land of the same origin of all ministries, to unify the hearts of all ministries!

"Bless the Lord God! After nearly three thousand years of silence, the first ancient city of Olmec is destined to re-prosper under the rule of the kingdom with the status of 'holy city ancestral land'!"

Under the bright moon and the galaxy, Shulot stood up, raised the magic staff in his hand, and announced loudly to the generals. In the testimony of Shenshan, all the generals also bowed their heads together and responded in unison.

"Praise the Lord God! God bless the ancestral land of the holy city! God bless the alliance, the kingdom and His Highness!..."

At this moment, the origin of the ancestral land and tribes in the world is on the hill at the foot of the sacred mountain, and it was appointed by the king! Shulot's eyes were shining brightly, as if flashing with a divine look. Afterwards, he looked at the general Papp who lowered his head and didn't dare to look directly at him, and asked solemnly.

"Papu, what is the name of this first ancient city in the legends of seaside myths?"

"Uh... Your Highness! This ancient city is the habitat of the gods and the place where the saints stand. In the ancient inheritance board, it has only two specific symbols, one is the "original ancient city" and the other is the "holy city of the ancestors"! And in various sacrificial epics, a lot of space is used to praise its "ancient" and "sacred"... As for the specific name of the Olmecs thousands of years ago, it cannot be drawn on the inheritance board. There is no record in the poem, no one has known about it for a long time..."

"Oh? 'The original ancient city'? 'The holy city of the ancestors'? 'Ancient' and 'sacred'?!..."

Hearing this, Shulot lowered his eyes and naturally thought of a name. Inexplicably, he felt an ancient destiny, a magnificent pursuit! Of course, the so-called fate and pursuit actually have their origins. After all, all the imaginations of later generations are also based on ancient mysterious ruins, derived from these "lost" civilizations...

After a short recollection, Xiu Luote smiled slightly, his eyes were deep and vicissitudes. He looked around everyone, and under the witness of Mingyue, Xinghe and Shenshan, he decided on the name of the ancient city, and also accepted a certain fate and karma unknown to everyone!

"Praise the Lord God! Good! Very good!...In this case, the first ancient city to be rebuilt, the holy city of the Olmec era, is called the 'Ancient Holy City'!..."
