After standing on the top of the pyramid and admiring the scenery for a while, and experiencing the feeling of looking down at the Mayan civilization, Ye Tian gathered his emotions and looked at the stone slabs under his feet and the half-collapsed temple on the top of the tower. .
The stone slabs on the top of the tower are all engraved with Mayan hieroglyphs and various exquisite patterns and decorations. They are found on every stone slab and are arranged in an orderly manner. It looks like a book carved on the stone slab. books.
Over the past 100 years, through the research of countless archaeologists and philologists, these Mayan hieroglyphs and patterns have been translated.
These texts describe the history of the Kingdom of Copan, as well as some myths and legends of the Mayan Empire, as well as some statements about worshiping gods and praying for blessings.
The many patterns carved on the stone slabs include scenes of sacrifice, as well as scenes of farming, hunting, and war, which vividly reflect the life scenes of the ancient Maya.
On the four corners of the top platform of the tower, there is a statue about half a meter high.
The four statues are all badly damaged, two of them are only half-remained, but they are still vaguely identifiable.
They are a mighty puma, a colorful parrot, a fluttering sea eagle, and a dangerous python.
Four marble statues are located at the four corners of the top of the tower, with tigers and dragons sitting on top of each other, overlooking the entire Copan Valley and guarding the main pyramid.
Most of the temple located in the center of the tower has collapsed, and the condition of the remaining parts is not much better, looking shaky.
In front of this temple, there is half a broken totem pole with a statue of Quetzalcoatl carved on it. Unfortunately, the upper half of the statue has long since disappeared, leaving only the lower half.
In addition to Quetzalcoatl, this totem pole is also engraved with some Mayan hieroglyphs and patterns, which have long been translated by archaeologists.
The temple behind the totem pole is also engraved with many Mayan hieroglyphs and various patterns, mainly various sacrificial patterns, and some astrological patterns.
Among those star patterns, several famous constellations can be vaguely seen, such as Orion.
Obviously, this temple located on the top of the tower is not only a temple for worship, but also an astronomical observatory for observing celestial phenomena.
It is conceivable that after the construction of this main pyramid, the priests and scholars of the Kingdom of Copan spent many years here looking up at the sky and exploring the secrets of the universe.
The result of this is that the Mayans made extremely amazing achievements in astronomy and mathematics, which are breathtaking.
Ye Tian quickly glanced at the top of the tower and understood the situation here in a blink of an eye.
Immediately afterwards, he turned on the perspective and began to explore the secrets hidden on the top of the pyramid.
In the mostly collapsed Mayan temple, he saw several interesting patterns, telling people an ancient story.
What the pattern depicts is a group of Copan Mayan warriors, escorting a group of prisoners or slaves through the rain forest. The prisoners of war and slaves seemed to be carrying heavy loads, trekking hard, or even crawling on the ground.
Unfortunately, this set of murals is incomplete. It is impossible to tell where the Copan Mayans set out and where they finally arrived.
The reason is very simple. Only the middle part of this set of murals remains, and the parts at the beginning and end have long since disappeared. Naturally, it is impossible to solve the mystery.
In addition to this set of murals, Ye Tian also saw many murals and texts, as well as many symbols and patterns of unknown meaning inside and outside the temple, but there were no surprises.
Next, he looked at the ground again and began to explore the top of the tower at his feet and the secrets hidden inside the pyramid.
The first thing he saw were the Mayan hieroglyphics and various patterns carved on the ground at the top of the tower. These things have been studied countless times and there is no secret at all.
Then, his eyes penetrated the stone slabs on the ground at the top of the tower and looked into the interior of the pyramid.
At first, what he saw were granite boulders tightly stacked together, showing him the mysterious and outstanding architectural art of the Mayans, which was amazing.
The sight extended downward for about four meters, and the scene in his eyes just changed.
A stone slab that was different from other granite boulders and had a pattern engraved on it suddenly broke into his field of vision.
The pattern carved on that stone slab was a huge cave located in a dense forest in a high mountain. The mountain where the cave was located seemed somewhat familiar.
At the entrance of the cave, there is a statue of the Sun God. Looking in the direction where the Sun God statue is staring, you can see a pyramid-shaped building and many Mayans kneeling on the ground to pray.
The moment he saw this pattern, Ye Tian's eyes immediately flashed with ecstasy, and he almost cheered.
He knew very well what this pattern carved on the granite slab and buried deep inside the pyramid meant.
Nine times out of ten, what it points to is the famous Golden City of the Mayan Empire, which is exactly the goal of his trip to Honduras to explore.
Ye Tian looked at the pattern carefully, imprinted it deeply in his mind, then quickly adjusted his emotions and continued to do perspective.
Immediately afterwards, he saw a granite pillar as thick as a human arm, supporting the granite slab with the location of the Golden City engraved on it.
The location of this granite pillar is a dark space with a small area, just below the top of the pyramid tower.
On this granite pillar, there is a huge Quetzalcoatl carved on it. The shape is the same as the Quetzalcoatl sculpture he first saw through perspective on the fourth floor of the pyramid, only more exquisite.
This place is very close to the temple at the top of the pyramid, and only Quetzalcoatl, the most worshiped **** of the Mayans, is qualified to be placed here.
In addition to the Quetzalcoatl statue, Ye Tian also saw several other sculptures in this dark space, most of which were head sculptures, including human heads and animal heads, such as jaguars and sea eagles. .
In addition, there are many dazzling gems of various colors on the floor of the secret room.
Unlike those rough gemstones discovered before, these gemstones have been cut and ground, and have begun to take shape, making them more beautiful and valuable.
Due to their age, the surface of these gems seems to be covered with a layer of dust and looks black. With a little treatment, they can emit extremely bright light.
On the walls of this secret room and the stone pillar engraved with Quetzalcoatl, there are many Mayan hieroglyphs, various exquisite patterns, and many complicated decorations engraved on them.
Although Ye Tian didn't recognize Mayan hieroglyphs, he could recognize which hieroglyphs he had seen before and which hieroglyphs were discovered for the first time.
There are several hieroglyphics discovered for the first time in this secret room, which is undoubtedly of great research value.
Those exquisite patterns are not difficult to identify. What they depict is the history of the Kingdom of Copán and the Mayan Empire. Among them is a man wearing a bird **** mask, who looks very tall and conspicuous.
That guy should be the founder of the Copan Kingdom, the Royal Blue Parrot.
At the bottom of this secret room, there is a staircase leading to the lower secret room, which should be a larger space.
However, Ye Tian's clairvoyant gaze did not continue downward, but retracted, ending the clairvoyance.
The reason why he did this is very simple, because he already knew everything about the situation in the secret room below.
During his previous climb to the tower, he had thoroughly looked through the place, so naturally there was no need to explore it again.
After finishing the fluoroscopy, Ye Tian first looked at the eager guys under the pyramid, then took off the backpack behind him, opened it, and took out the six-pointed star golden scepter head.
Next, he pretended to study the six-pointed star golden scepter head, then turned and walked towards the temple, coming to the half-broken totem pole.
The next moment, he looked down at the six-pointed golden scepter head in his hand, and then looked up at the lush mountain forest in the distance.
