Another magnificent Mayan pyramid appeared in front of Ye Tian and the others.
Just over forty meters away from the Quetzalcoatl Pyramid, in the middle of a dense rainforest, the joint exploration team discovered another small hill about four meters high.
After some detection, several exploration teams successively detected a series of very strong metal signals in and around this small hill.
Obviously, there is a lot of gold buried here.
Based on previous experience, there is probably an ancient Mayan pyramid underneath this hill, and there are many large and small treasures in the surrounding area.
Next, several groups of joint exploration team members wielded engineering shovels, and under the guidance of several archaeologists, began digging based on the signals detected by the pulse metal detectors.
The result is as expected. Under this hill, there is indeed a magnificent Mayan pyramid.
Compared with the previously discovered Quetzalcoatl Pyramid, this pyramid is more than a circle larger and has one more layer than the Quetzalcoatl Golden Pyramid. There is also a golden temple on the top of the tower, which enshrines a statue of the god.
The facade of this ancient Mayan pyramid is also decorated with a large amount of gold, as well as several marble statues, and some dusty gems are inlaid in some places.
Like most temple-like buildings during the Mayan Empire, the outside of this golden pyramid is also engraved with Mayan hieroglyphs and various patterns, as well as many exquisite patterns and stone murals.
A very special thing is that this golden pyramid sits right on the central axis of the Golden City, and the volumes of the left and right halves are exactly the same, exactly the same as the previously discovered Golden Pyramid of Quetzalcoatl.
Moreover, the golden temples on the top of the two pyramid towers are in a line. The statues enshrined in the two golden temples are facing the center of the golden city. They seem to have some special meaning and a mysterious color!
Not long after the excavation work started, Ye Tian stopped it, naturally to save time.
After excavation, a quarter of this Mayan pyramid has been revealed. After more than a thousand years, it has finally reappeared in the world!
Especially the small golden temple at the top of the tower, which was completely dug out. Once illuminated by the light, it immediately bloomed with extremely bright light.
This is enough for Ye Tian and other experts and scholars to conduct research and make accurate judgments.
In just a moment, the experts and scholars who stepped forward to check the situation had already reached a basically accurate conclusion.
"Stephen, this is the famous goddess in Mayan mythology, the Golden Pyramid of Ischel. The golden statue enshrined in the golden temple on the top of the pyramid is enough to explain the problem.
Everyone can tell at a glance that this golden statue is carved from a goddess. It has obvious female characteristics in terms of hairstyle, facial contours, body curves and other aspects.
The most important thing is that this statue of the goddess has two faces. The face facing the left has a very irritable expression, while the face facing the right has a friendly expression.
In Mayan mythology, only the goddess Ischel has such characteristics, which is unique. According to legend, Ischel is the wife of Itesumna and has two faces: impetuous and friendly.
Ischel is one of the Mayan Nine Gods, responsible for protecting the safety of women giving birth and newborns. Although he ranks second to last among the Mayan Nine Gods, his status in the Mayan civilization is very special."
Professor Delgado introduced the situation of the golden pyramid in front of him with a rather excited tone.
Before he finished speaking, the director of the National Museum of Honduras continued:
"Because she is a woman, although Ischel was revered by the ancient Mayans and was regarded as one of the nine gods of the Maya, few temples and temples were built for her, and her name and deeds rarely appear. In the stone carvings of the Mayan civilization.
Because of this, the golden pyramid of the goddess Ische in front of us is extremely precious. By studying the hieroglyphics and various patterns on this pyramid, it will definitely help us better understand the goddess Ische. you! ”
Hearing this, the other experts and scholars at the scene nodded. They had no different opinions, and everyone was extremely excited.
Ye Tianze pondered for a moment, then pretended to be excited and said with expectation:
"It is actually the golden pyramid of the goddess Ischel. As far as I know, this seems to be the only pyramid of the goddess Ischel discovered so far. It goes without saying that its historical research value must be extremely high.
According to my preliminary identification, the construction period of this Golden Pyramid should be around BC. It may be slightly later than the Quetzalcoatl Pyramid, but it is very limited and can be regarded as the same period.
We discovered the pyramid of Quetzalcoatl before. In the early days of the Mayan Empire, Quetzalcoatl was the wind god, one of the nine gods of the Maya. Now we have discovered the pyramid of the goddess Ischel, who is also among the nine gods!
Judging from their order, the pyramid of Quetzalcoatl, who is ranked at the end of the Ennead, is a little further out. The goddess Ischel, who is ranked second to last among the Ennead, has her pyramid on the outside. A little inside.
Does this mean that we will discover seven more golden pyramids next? And each one is bigger than the other, arranged one by one along the central axis of the Golden City from small to large, and the nine pyramids are connected in a line.
According to Mayan mythology, these nine golden pyramids should correspond to the Nine Gods in Mayan mythology. They are the wind **** Kukulkan, the goddess Ischel, and the North Star **** Saman Ek.
Then there will be sacrifices to the **** Kokata, the **** of death Apuch, the **** of war Istab, the cloud **** Yom Kax, the rain **** Chak, and the sky **** Itsumna. If this is the case, then It’s so spectacular!
Of course, the last and largest Golden Pyramid of the Nine Union Gods may not be enshrined by the **** Itsumna. It depends on when the Golden Pyramid was built.
However, I think it is the **** Itesumna who is most likely. The reason is very simple, because the last ruler of the Golden City was the Kingdom of Copan, and the gods they believed in were the Itesumna gods.
Under such circumstances, how could the Copan Maya allow other gods to occupy the position of the gods? If the previous pyramid of gods was not dedicated to Itesumna, the Copan Mayans would also overthrow and rebuild it! ”
As Ye Tian said these words, the scene became completely quiet. Everyone was stunned and looked at Ye Tian with jaws dropped, their eyes full of madness and incredulity!
After a while, everyone finally woke up.
Immediately afterwards, the scene was completely boiling.
“The nine golden pyramids corresponding to the Mayan Nine Gods, and each one is bigger and more grand than the last, are all arranged on the central axis of the Golden City, and the nine golden pyramids are connected in a line!
Wow! I can’t even imagine that scene! If this is really the case, it is absolutely a miracle, it is so spectacular. Can this arrangement be called a nine-star continuum? ”
"Steven, you dare to think about it! This is really crazy! If the spectacle of nine stars in a row really happens, then there is no doubt that these nine golden pyramids of the Mayan Nine Gods will definitely arouse countless reveries!"
While exclaiming, everyone looked past the golden pyramid of the goddess Ischel and towards the dense tropical rain forest behind the pyramid.
For a moment, everyone seemed to see that deep in the tropical rain forest, there were seven splendid golden pyramids standing in a series, each one more majestic than the last and full of mystery.
Just when everyone was fascinated and full of expectations, Ye Tian's clear voice suddenly came out again and reached the ears of everyone present.
"This is just my conjecture. Whether it is true or not, we still need to explore and verify it together. I believe it won't be long before we can know whether there will be a unique spectacle of nine stars in a row!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Hernando suddenly continued:
"Steven, just now you mentioned that the cloud **** in the Nine Linked Gods is Yum Cax. Isn't he the Corn God, the king of the gods of the first clan of Mayan mythology? Why is he the Nine Linked God again? one?
The Golden Temple of the Maize God we discovered before is located behind the Golden Pyramid of the Wind God Kukulkan, and is also on the central axis of the Golden City, but it does not match your ranking! ”
Hearing this, everyone at the scene turned to look at Ye Tian to see how he would explain this problem.
Ye Tian looked at Hernando, then glanced at everyone, then smiled and said loudly:
“The Golden Temple of the Maize God we discovered before was used to worship the Maize God in Mayan mythology. It is a temple, not a golden pyramid. It has the same function as the other three golden temples of the gods.
Although Yumkax, the cloud **** in the Mayan Nine Gods, has the same name as the Corn God and is also responsible for harvesting, his status is different and his responsibilities are also somewhat different from that of the Corn God. This cannot be Equivalent.
The reason why this happens is that the Mayans had different beliefs in gods at different times and in different places. Their beliefs are always changing with time and region,..."
Listening to Ye Tian's explanation, the experts and scholars who studied the Mayan civilization at the scene couldn't help but secretly nodded in approval!
The rest of the joint exploration team members listened quietly!
