Chapter 913 Sacred Text Ladder

"This is the area where the Mayans once lived. Although civilization is backward, the remaining divine nature is really intoxicating, savage and bloody, and the most primitive power."

Something seemed to be shaking under Zorgen's clothes.

"It seems you are very familiar with this place?"

Takahashi Kobashi had no interest in these ancient buildings. In the eyes of the ancient Americans at that time, the Kopan city-states, Mayan city-states, Aztecs, Incas, etc., all had very different differences, just like the clear distinction between the countries in East Asia, but in the present Takahashi Kobashi Kobashi Kobashi, they all looked the same among the ancient American civilizations.

"I'm not very familiar, but since you want to get what you want from here, you will inevitably have some hard work." Zorgen walked forward, and Takahashi followed behind him pitifully. "There are many extraordinary things we can use from these disappeared civilized corpses. Sooner or later, you will understand this principle."

Compared with Mayan sites like Tikal and Chichen Itza, there are not as many tourists in Kopan. The security level of the entire country in Honduras hinders the development of tourism. The entire Kopan site is also smaller than other sites. All facilities in the site can be completed in a few hours. Whether in summer or winter, the entire Kopan is shrouded in heat.

"quack!"

The giant macaw flew past Zorgen, and the colorful macaws seemed to fly out of a painting. It is hard to imagine that there would be such brightly colored creatures in nature.

Like humans, not only Mu Qiang exists in the animal world, but also Mu Mei and Mu Shuai.

The colorful macaws are specially used for courtship. The brighter and brighter the color, the more favored it is from the opposite sex and the same sex. In most cases, brighter feathers also represent the health and strength of the body.

"It is a macaw, a bird native to Central America. These little guys are a symbol of divinity in Mayan mythology. Many of the main bird gods sacrificed in Mayan city-states are macaws."

"Well." Although I am a myth, Takahashi is not concerned about this.

Worshiping parrots, worshiping crows and peacocks are just dreams of ignorant humans.

Zorgen walked across the court and introduced the Mayan myths to Takahashi in Mandarin: "In the Mayan mythological concept, the world was in chaos at the beginning, the world was not divided, there were no mountains, rivers, birds and beasts, and all things were chaotic. There were only four creation gods - xpiyaue who became husband and wife, as well as tepew and feathered snake god... Do you always know the feathered snake god? You can understand the words of the husband and wife god as Fuxi and Nuwa in East Asian mythology."

"These four Creator Gods created four directions of the world, east, west, south, and north, and separated the sky and the earth to create mountains, rivers and forests, and then created various animals."

"But animals do not have wisdom and cannot understand the meaning of the Creator Gods, so the couple God used soil to pinch people according to their own appearance, but the first generation of soil people melted when they encounter water, which was too fragile."

"Then they created the second generation with wood, but the second generation had no heart because it was made of wood. Over time, they forgot to be grateful to the Creator God, so the couple God flooded the wooden man with a great flood."

"Some of the surviving wooden people became monkeys. This was how ancient Americans understood where monkeys that were very similar to humans came from? This is at least more advanced than the Bible, which has forgotten the monkeys."

"In the blasphemous era in which the second generation of human wood people lived, a macaw with divine power quickly expanded and claimed to be the greatest sun."

"Its beak can emit sunlight, which shines on the moon to make the moon shine at night. The sun parrot has two sons, one is the crocodile god who makes mountains, and the other is the 'Kabalaka' who makes earthquakes. Three monsters have created chaos in the world and destroyed the order of the world."

The Yucatan Peninsula where Mayan civilizations are distributed stand mountains and earthquakes occur frequently. In ancient times, people used various images and brains to improve their simple worldview.

"How did the Sun Parrot look like later?"

The two of them had walked through the bloody stadium without realizing it. In the thousand years when Kopan City-Nationale stood, many people were beheaded and sacrificed after playing the ball.

On the side of the stadium is a small pyramid-like stone building. In order to protect this building, the competent department used a canvas shed at the central axis of the main building body. The long canvas shed is twenty or thirty meters long, and the covered part looks like a step-shaped distance.

"Later, it was the grandson of the couple God, that is, the two twin sons of the Corn God, who shot and killed the sun parrot, and the earth finally returned to tranquility."

The two walked around the steps and could clearly see the spectacular scene hidden under the plastic shed.

More than sixty steps are rising up one by one, as if it is about to lead to the distant sky, but what is spectacular is not the height of the steps, but the bricks and stones themselves of these steps.

Each brick and stone carved with mysterious reliefs, which looked like pictures, but it also had the meaning of a font system.

"This is called the sacred text staircase. Each brick and stone picture is actually pictograms. A brick and stone may only record a few words, or it may also record a complete story. How much manpower was spent countless years ago, the Mayans of Kopan carved more than 2,000 hieroglyphic reliefs to combine this sacred text staircase."

"Even after the demise of the Kopan people in a thousand years, the history and mythological system of Kopan can exist on the sacred text ladder."

"But unfortunately, many of the relief bricks and stones we see now are no longer original, and the order has been disrupted."

A brick and stone with similar appearance and texture suddenly appeared in Zorgen's hand. The brick and stone carved on it was the common bat image of Copan, and the reward received from the leader.

The sides of the bats are exaggerated and terrifying, and the convex nose leaves are carved into the shape of obsidian swords. This special bat is widely distributed in the American jungle.

"Do you know what bats symbolize in Mayan mythology?"

"Ominous, death?" Takahashi said subconsciously. In myths around the world, bats should be symbols of unluckyness.

"Yes, it is said that it was the bat who cut off the head of the elder brother of the hero's twin in Sibarba hell..."

As he said that, Zorgen inlaid the bat's relief into a small defect on the steps.

"Celestial realm, human realm, and underground realm, this is the mythological concept of the Mayans, and the secret of rebirth is hidden in the underground realm called Sibalba."

The bat bricks and stones were embedded, and the sacred text stairs suddenly shaking.

"The bat cuts his head and the corn god is reborn in the lizard's mouth."

"roar!"

The roar of monsters came from under the flat surface of the Kopan site.
