Chapter 1271: Unique civilization

Also gradually evolved his own unique human culture. In this way, mankind slowly learned knowledge from the'god' and entered the age of civilization.
For us modern people, we often like to oppose ‘theology’ and ‘science’. It seems that the two theories are insoluble in water and fire. In fact, this is a wrong view. From the source, these two theories are originally one thing.
Also, what we think of as materialism and idealism is the same, although these two theories are also opposite. But from the root, they also have something in common. This problem, our scientists are already aware of. This is mainly because our modern scientists have gained a deeper understanding of the microscopic world since they studied quantum mechanics.
Since human beings understand the micro world, they will feel that many problems in the micro world are different in the macro world. Especially the impact of human psychology on the micro world. This is what makes modern scientists unable to explain. But I have to accept such a supernatural phenomenon.
Human theology starts with understanding the universe. The ancients admired the universe very much. Whether it is the sun, the moon or the stars, they have become objects of human worship. This is mainly because people don't know much about these macroscopic worlds. I don’t know how the world was born. I feel that all this is amazing.
Zhao Zhongyao knew all of this very well. Since he actually saw the alien's flying saucer, he firmly believed that the so-called gods in ancient mythology must be characters related to aliens.
Our ancestors must have some contact with aliens at some point. It is they who have learned some advanced science and technology from aliens that have promoted the civilization and progress of human society. Let human society move from depression to civilization.
Zhao Zhongyao and his family have already seen three alien flying saucers in the World Wonders Scenic Area that they have visited several times. Although they have not yet entered the inside of the flying saucer. But they all firmly believe that in ancient times, humans and aliens had contact.
This time, they decided to go deep into the Amazon rainforest. From the most mysterious Mayan civilization on earth, find the answer you want to find.
For Zhao Zhongyao, he has some doubts now. Although he has already seen an alien flying saucer. But these alien flying saucers didn't tell him some questions about ancient people and aliens.
As the most mysterious Maya on earth, people have always believed that this is a mysterious race that has had contact with aliens.
What Zhao Zhongyao learned about aliens before made him feel that the ancient ancestors and aliens must have been mysterious contacts. Especially ten thousand years ago, that must be an era when aliens frequently appeared on the earth.
On the moon, Zhao Zhongyao has learned through the probe they launched that there are many mysterious buildings in that silent world. These buildings are definitely not what people on earth call, but only aliens.
As for whether this alien is an alien in the solar system or an alien in the galaxy, it is hard to say. Anyway, Zhao Zhongyao believes that these aliens must have superb technology, can carry out interstellar travel, and can also manipulate some asteroids.
China's lunar exploration has made Zhao Zhongyao aware of many mysterious things on the moon. Let him be even more fascinated by these things. Even Zhao Zhongyao's wife and children, who heard Zhao Zhongyao talk about the mysterious buildings on the moon, wanted to solve the mystery of the origin of these buildings.
Zhao Zhongyao now took his wife and children in a flying saucer car to the Amazon rainforest, the largest tropical rain forest in the world.
The Amazon rainforest is 20,000 kilometers away from China. But for the Zhao Zhongyao family who owns a flying saucer car, this distance is really nothing.
The fastest speed of a UFO vehicle is Mach 10. In other words, the fastest speed of a UFO vehicle can reach more than 10,000 kilometers per hour. This distance of 20,000 kilometers is already very far away for ordinary people. Even if it’s an airplane, it takes about 30 hours. This is really a very long distance.
But to the Zhao Zhongyao family who owns a UFO car, it is nothing at all. It took them just over an hour to fly from the capital of China to the Amazon rainforest in South America.
The area of ​​the Amazon rainforest is very large, and the destination that Zhao Zhongyao's family is going to is only the place with the remains of the Mayan civilization.
There are many ruins of the Mayan civilization, but the most famous ruins are the Copan Mayan ruins in the central plateau of Mexico. This is the largest and most famous Mayan civilization site known to mankind.
The Copan Mayan city-state site is located in the middle of the Yucatan Peninsula. It is the largest and most prosperous city-state in the ancient Maya empire. The site of the Mayan city-state of Chichen Itza was once the largest and most prosperous city-state in the ancient Mayan Empire.
The Mayan ruins of Copan is one of the most important areas of the Mayan civilization with grand buildings. Mayan culture is one of the world's famous ancient civilizations and one of the three ancient Indian civilizations in Latin America.
It is the cradle of American Indian culture. Mayan culture has a long history of development, and its process lasted from about 1800 BC to 1524 AD. However, a contemporary unexplained mystery of the ages is that Maya culture, which once had such a glorious past, suddenly and mysteriously declined in the early 10th century.
It was not until the 11th century that the Toltecs who descended from the Mexican plateau and the remaining Maya partially revived in the northern part of the Yucatan Peninsula. But compared with the heyday of Mayan culture, it is no longer the same.
Later, after the Spanish colonists invaded, it was even more devastated. The Mayans embodied the highest level of civilization at the time. What is surprising is that when Europe was still in the dark, the residents here could already depict the appearance of space, evolved the native American writing system, and had mastered it. mathematics.
They also invented the calendar we are still using. Without ironware, moving animals or even wheels, they have the ability to build such a huge and beautifully built city. This is a miracle!
The Mayan ruins of Copan is one of the most important areas of the Mayan civilization. It has grand buildings and rich hieroglyphics. It is one of the few civilizations that originated in the tropical jungle. These buildings show that the Mayans of Copan had a highly developed economy and culture.
In 1839 AD, American explorers Stephens and Catherwood were hinted by an ancient legend. They smashed through the thorns and went deep into the rainforest covered by the sun. However, they did not find the beautiful princess hypnotized by the wizard, but found a deserted one. Ancient city ruins of a thousand years old.
On the ruins of this old city called Copan, tall monuments are entangled with vines, annihilated among thorns; the majestic pyramids are overgrown with stout trees and become deserted hills. Stephens and the others were stunned by all this. These ruins represented the splendid Maya civilization.
Maya civilization is one of the world's famous ancient civilizations, and it is also the only civilization that was born in tropical jungles instead of in the river basin. The abstract thinking ability of the Maya dwarfed the contemporary civilization of the Old World. They created a precise mathematical system and an astronomical calendar system, as well as a contemporary hieroglyphic system that still needs to be deciphered. The Mayans paid the most attention to the observation of the sun and the moon. They could calculate the time of solar and lunar eclipses and included the seven planets in their research.
Their calculations on the cycle of Venus are completely consistent with the actual results of modern science. The Mayan calendar system is composed of "Divine Calendar", "Solar Calendar" and "Changji Almanac". The Maya had a unique mathematical system. In this system, the most advanced part is the use of the symbol "0", which was invented and used about 800 years earlier than Europe.
The applicability and scientificity of Maya's mathematical system enabled them to solve various problems in many scientific and technological activities. In the ancient civilizations of the world, in addition to the Arabic numerals that originated in India, Mayan numerals are the most advanced. But it is a pity that none of the books or documents on Mayan mathematics has been handed down. Mayan hieroglyphs are really a celestial book for modern people, and its mystery has not been solved until the present.
Mayan hieroglyphs are mainly approximate circles or ellipses, and the lines of the characters are more undulating and smooth. Copan is the most developed area for the study of Mayan hieroglyphics. The hieroglyphic symbols on its monuments and buildings have the most beautiful writing, the finest engraving, and the most characters. For example, in the Copan site, there is a sixty or seventy step ladder. Tao, built with more than 2500 processed ashlar.
This is a monumental building, with stairs built on the hillside leading directly to the altar on the top of the hill. It is 10 meters wide, with a piebald python engraved on each side, and the tail is on the top of the hill: each square brick of the stairway is engraved with hieroglyphs, and each hieroglyph is carved with patterns around it. Engraved with more than 2,000 hieroglyphic symbols, it is the longest inscription in Mayan hieroglyphics and a rare and precious cultural relic in the world of inscriptions. It is called "hieroglyphic ladder."
Not only that, Copan’s economic and political strength is second only to Tikal and far surpasses other city-states, and it can stand side by side with Tikal in culture, and even slightly surpass it. Some scholars believe that Copan’s significance is never Below Tikal, they stand side by side like twin peaks and are the two greatest lighthouses of the Mayan civilization. Indeed, judging from the archaeological excavations of the city, Copan may be slightly inferior to Tikal in scale, but it is more beautiful than Tikal.
The place Zhao Zhongyao and the others are going this time is precisely this largest Mayan civilization site. It is the Copan Mayan ruins.
The reason why I want to visit this place is because of this Mayan ruins, there is the largest pyramid ruins. This largest Mayan pyramid is exactly the destination Zhao Zhongyao and the others want to explore this time.
Now Zhao Zhongyao and the others are driving a flying saucer car and have flown over the Mexican plateau. To understand Mayan culture, you must first understand some Mexican culture. We must first know what kind of country Mexico is.
The United Mexican States is referred to as Mexico. It is a federal republic in North America. It borders the United States to the north, the Pacific Ocean to the south and west, the Caribbean Sea to the southeast, Belize and Guatemala to the east, and the Gulf of Mexico to the east.
Covering an area of ​​1964,375 square kilometers, it is the fifth largest country in the Americas and the fourteenth largest country in the world. With a population of 123 million, it is the eleventh most populous country in the world, the most populous country in the Spanish-speaking world, and the second most populous country in Latin America. Mexico is a federal state, including 32 states; its capital and largest city, Mexico City, is also a state. Mexico is one of the ancient cultural centers of Indians in the American continent.
The world-famous Olmec culture, Toltec culture, Teotihuacan culture, Zapotec culture, Mayan culture and Aztec culture were bred here, and the latter became the pre-Columbian culture. The Aztec Empire, the largest country in North America. It became a Spanish colony in 1521. On September 16, 1810, the Mexican people set off a war against Spanish colonial rule and achieved independence in 1821.
The Federal Republic was established in October 1824. The constitution was promulgated in 1917 and changed to the current country name. Mexico is a free market economy, with its economic strength ranking fourth in the Americas and 13th in the world. It has modern industry and agriculture, and the proportion of its private economy has increased significantly. After the official establishment of the North American Free Trade Area in 1994, trade and investment exchanges between Mexico and the United States increased rapidly, which greatly promoted economic development and increased national income. The ancient Indians of Mexico cultivated corn, so Mexico is known as the "hometown of corn".
Mexico has also won the "country of cacti", "the kingdom of silver" and "the country floating on the oil sea" in different historical periods. In the
From some basic information about Mexico, we can see that Mexico itself is a city-state United Nations. This is similar to the city-state culture of ancient Maya culture.
You know, Mayan civilization is very different from other civilizations. Because Maya civilization is the only jungle civilization on earth. And it is the most advanced civilization in ancient science and technology. Their accomplishments in astronomy, mathematics, architecture, calendars, and other aspects can be said to be unprecedented, and they are truly unique.
The Mayan civilization is also different from other ancient civilizations. Other ancient civilizations generally existed in the form of countries. Like ancient China, ancient India, ancient Egypt and ancient Babylon.
These ancient civilizations all established their own countries. These civilizations exist in the form of nations.
