Chapter 2556: Maya universe

, The fastest update of the latest chapters in the world of treasure hunt!
When Ye Tian and the curator of the National Museum of Honduras walked over, Professor Delgado had wiped away the remaining mud and moss on the stone slab that had just been cleaned out with a towel, revealing the starry sky map carved on the stone slab.
Unlike the situation at the top of the nine pyramids before, the ground on the top of the pyramid of the sun is not decorated with a lot of gold, but is covered with huge blocks of light gray marble.
Regarding this point, it can be seen from the few areas that have just been cleared that this stone slab is just like this.
Although there is no dazzling gold on this ground, everyone knows very well that these marbles, which are engraved with Mayan hieroglyphs, various patterns, and murals, are worth far more than gold.
These marbles carry the most glorious and splendid ancient civilization that has ever existed on the American continent. The Mayan civilization cannot be measured by how much gold.
Within a few steps, Ye Tian and the others had come to the front, and immediately looked at the polished stone slab on the ground, and at the ancient murals and starry sky pictures carved on the slab.
As soon as they stood still, Professor Delgado turned his head to look at them, and then said impatiently:
"Steven, look at this. If I'm not mistaken, this should be a starry sky map of the northern sky in summer, and it is the starry sky map observed from the top of this pyramid. The accuracy seems to be very high.
Of course, the accuracy of this starry sky map needs further research, but I believe that the ancient Maya's astronomical skills should be very accurate.
The largest and most brilliant star on this starry sky map is the North Star. If it is night, if we stand on top of the main pyramid, we can also see the North Star at the position marked in the map.
Regarding this, we can wait until the evening to verify it. I believe this is a very interesting thing. You can see that the stars on this starry sky map are all inlaid with large and small gems.
I took a closer look. These gems are crystals with extremely high purity, but because they are too old and exposed all the year round, the crystals have lost their luster.
But this is also luxurious enough. After this pyramid of the sun was born, the stars, or crystals, on the starry sky map, as long as they are treated with professional techniques, they will bloom brightly! "
Professor Delgado was talking excitedly while pointing at the ancient starry sky map carved on the stone slab, his excited voice trembling slightly.
Following the direction of his finger, Ye Tian and the director of the National Museum of Honduras were both admiring this ancient starry sky map, and both of them were excited.
While admiring and studying this ancient starry sky map, the two of them would look up at the northern sky from time to time. Although the sun is now in the sky, there is no star at all.
After earnestly appreciating for a moment, Ye Tian pretended to be excited and said:
"Yes, the starry sky map carved by the ancient Mayans is exactly the same as the starry sky in the northern sky we saw on summer nights, especially the position of the North Star, which can be said to be very accurate.
Although I don't have much research on astronomy and I am a pure layman, I clearly know the location of the North Star at different times. It is unchanging and can be seen by looking up at the night sky.
If the top of the Pyramid of the Sun God is engraved with such a starry sky map, and they are so precise, there is no doubt that this discovery will surely cause a sensation in the world and the entire scientific community.
By studying these ancient starry sky maps, we may be able to unravel the secrets of the ancient Maya's astronomical accomplishments, and even peek into the mystery and origin of the universe!
The gems inlaid on this ancient mural are indeed colorless crystals with extremely high purity. Before inlaying, the ancient Mayans made preliminary cuts, which shows how hard they are! "
With that said, Ye Tian also stretched out his hand and stroked this ancient starry sky map, and focused on the beautiful crystals that represent the sky full of stars. He was full of admiration.
After listening to these words, everyone on the scene nodded, and everyone became more excited.
At this moment, the eyes of everyone looking at this ancient starry sky map on the ground became even hotter, and everyone's eyes shone!
After discussing a few more words, Professor Delgado shifted his target and pointed to a mural below the starry sky map and said:
"Look at this ancient mural, the Mayan man sitting on the altar looking up at the starry sky and pointing his finger at the northern sky is the North Star God Saman Ek of the Mayan Nine Union Gods. He is also known as the guide of business travelers.
We only saw the golden statue of the Polaris Saman Ek in the morning. The image of the Polaris on this mural is almost the same as the golden statue we have seen, so his identity is beyond doubt.
In addition to the same image, please look at the two Mayan hieroglyphs next to the mural. They represent the meaning of the North Star God Saman Ek and the guide of business travel. The other hieroglyphs have not been deciphered.
The direction of Saman Eck’s finger on the mural is exactly where the North Star is. This is also enough to explain the identity of the characters in the mural. This is the first time I have seen such a complete and accurate starry sky map. It is amazing! "
As he said, Professor Delgado started to sigh, with a drunken expression, and he was almost crying with excitement.
Not only is Professor Delgado, the curator of the National Museum of Honduras standing next to him, it is not the case, but he also has a bit of greed in his eyes, and a bit of emotions about gains and losses.
At this time, the top expert and scholar in Honduras was excited and proud of the shocking discovery before him, and also worried about whether Honduras could leave these priceless treasures!
The source of his worries was Ye Tian in front of him.
In the next time, Ye Tian and the others studied this ancient starry sky map and the few Mayan hieroglyphs and murals for a while, then finished the study and returned to continue their previous work.
The clean-up work has started again, and everyone's enthusiasm for work is even higher and more efficient!
More flowers, trees, and vines were cut or uprooted, and then thrown at the foot of the mountain. There were four small hills at the foot of the mountain.
As the cleaning work continued, the ground on the top of the mountain became more and more exposed, and surprises continued to appear one after another.
"Steven, we seem to have found a starry sky map of Sagittarius, carved on a stone slab on the ground. The pattern on the mural is very clear. Unfortunately, I don't understand astronomy, so I'm not sure.
Beside this starry sky map, there is also a mural and several Mayan hieroglyphs. The outline of the starry sky outlined on the mural really looks like Chiron, a horseman with a bow and arrow."
This time, it was the kid Jason who found the starry sky map. He almost yelled out like he had discovered a new continent.
Upon hearing the announcement ~EbookFREE.me~Ye Tian immediately put down what they were holding and walked over to Jason.
As Jason said, the starry sky map they found was the Sagittarius starry sky map, and it was very clearly portrayed. The starry sky map was inlaid with a lot of colorless crystals with extremely high purity to represent the sky full of stars.
Following Jason's group, the other two groups also discovered two starry sky maps, which were also carved on the stone slab on the ground, with a corresponding mural beside it, and Mayan hieroglyphs for introduction.
Unfortunately, there are no astronomers here.
Everyone's astronomical attainments are relatively ordinary. For a while, they did not recognize the two newly discovered star maps. Which stars, constellations, or starry sky correspond to which stars in the night sky?
As these ancient starry sky maps have been discovered one after another, everyone has affirmed that there are many ancient starry sky maps engraved on the top platform of this magnificent pyramid of the sun god!
If all these ancient starry sky pictures are cleaned up and then observed and studied together, perhaps this is the universe in the eyes of the ancient Mayans!
