The beauty of this world and the beauty of nature, on the vast land of Guatemala, Lake Atitlan is like an eye, baptizing the vicissitudes of time, and the three volcanoes surrounding Lake Atitlan appear looming in the clouds In the middle, like a shoulder, it bears the legends of years. The mountains, lakes, clouds, and fog form a beautiful picture.
The beauty of this world also has the vicissitudes of its history. Guatemala was one of the ancient Indian Mayan cultural centers. The Mayans from 200 AD to 850 AD prayed, sacrificed, divined, and lived on the land. The Mayans used their own wisdom. Created a civilization that humans can't guess so far,
Chen Rui entered Guatemala.
This country is very new to Chen Rui.
Most of the information about this country is obtained through online research.
In this magical land of Guatemala, there is a mysterious civilization, the Mayan civilization,
Chen Rui is going to spend some time to experience this country firsthand, and to feel the mystery of the Mayan civilization,
Upon entering Antigua, Chen Rui felt a strong Spanish atmosphere, like a checkerboard-shaped road, many carved and decorated baroque buildings, churches, monasteries, seminaries, everywhere.
People who didn't know thought they had come to Spain.
In fact, during the Spanish colonial period, Antigua and Mexico City and Lima were the three major colonial centers of the entire New World.
It was the Spanish who built the city on the original basis.
Chen Rui wandered like a tourist in the colonial town of Antigua.
Chen Rui's most profound image of this town is. The streets and residents of this town are very quiet and peaceful.
Probably because of the frequent earthquakes here. All buildings are very low.
At last. There are many churches. According to locals, this town of only 50 hectares has more than 50 churches, which may be more than the Vatican, but you do n’t have a pope.
Chen Rui tasted the local cuisine, beef croissants and Maya grilled sausages.
Have a good look. After eating full food, Chen Rui rented a local hotel
The next day, Chen Rui hired a local guide.
Under the guidance of the guide, Chen Rui toured the beautiful Lake Atitlan, the archaeological park and Mayan cultural site of the former Mayan capital Kirigua in the early classical period, and Tikal National Park, the center of the former Columbus Mayan civilization.
Feeling the mystery of the Mayan civilization and the splendid civilization created by the Mayans, Chen Rui feels that he is doing nothing.
On December 24, the guide took Chen Rui to Lake Isavar. Guatemala's largest lake.
The area of ​​this lake reaches 590 square kilometers, which is more than three times the area of ​​Tortuga Island.
This lake is famous for crocodiles.
Guide Polochik Isafi is a Maya. He lives in a Mayan tribe by Lake Isavar.
Unlike most of the primitive indigenous tribes that live in the deep jungles or desert islands of the world, are isolated from the world, never deal with outsiders, and even attack outsiders, the Maya may have been conquered by the Spanish and integrated into the foreign With an open culture, the Mayans are very open. They also live in towns and cities and wear modern clothing and live modern lives. They also make a living like modern people, although their means of livelihood are very limited.
They usually sell some handicrafts to tourists, weave scarves, blankets with Maya patterns, flutes with Maya faces, and so on.
Guide Polochik Isafi is fluent in English.
Maybe it's the reason for being a long-term guide and very talkative.
When Polochik Isafi introduced Chen Isawar to Chen Rui, he talked about something that made Chen Rui very interested.
An ancient legend has been circulating in their tribes for generations.
"It is said that before the formation of Lake Isaval, there was no lake at that time. It was a lowland plain. On the plain, people from the opposite side of the sea lived. They were very mysterious. They could be smelted from the ore on the nearby mountains. The sharp weapons created exquisite artifacts. They would worship the gods and ancestors they worshiped with various utensils made of white stones dug from the mountains. They were militant and they conquered the land with sharp weapons. Countless tribes, they enslaved countless people to build tall cities and palaces for them, and they put the countless treasures plundered in the conquest into the palace. Finally, one day, their actions angered the gods, and the gods were angry. , A tide of mountains and rivers drowned them in the ocean. "
Inadvertently heard the legend from Polochik Isafi.
Suddenly, a mysterious and disappearing Yin civilization emerged in Chen Rui's mind.
It seems that many things about the Yin people can be linked to ancient legends of the Maya tribe.
Those who came across from the sea might be the Yin people who crossed the sea.
In the late Yin Shang period ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Di Xin devoted himself to developing Dongdongyi, Huaiyi, and Huyi, about 1045 BC. During the first month of Yin calendar, Dixin returned to Yindu Chaoge from Shandong people. On Jiazi Day, King Zhou Wu led his army to Mengjin, and Emperor Xin Cang sent 700,000 slave soldiers to face Makino. The slave soldiers fell, the King of Kings defeated, and Lutai self-immolated. At that time, Emperor Xin's elite troops remained in Dongyi because of the conquest of the forest side. Therefore, Chaoge was emptied and destroyed by the King of War.
After Shang Yin annihilated the country, more than 100,000 elite soldiers who remained in Dongyi were commanded by the general who was capable of conquering battles. However, he has since disappeared and has no history.
The Yin people crossing the sea may refer to this part of the army and some Yin people who do not want to be slaves of the country.
We must know that Yin Shang is still in the era of slavery. Defeated captives and fallen subjects must be treated as slaves by the victorious nations. Most of them have lost their territories and noble status, and fortunately have been forced to leave the land for a living. , Do some small business of goods trafficking, this is the origin of the 'merchant'.
The most unfortunate was to become a slave to bury his master.
‘Ore from nearby mountains smelt into sharp weapons! !! ’The ore may be a bronze ore, and the sharp weapon is a bronze weapon. The 12 bronze weapons found in the Panama jungle are an example. (To be continued.)
