While looking at the main pyramid in the ruins of the ancient city of Copan, Ye Tian also secretly turned on the perspective and quickly scanned the ancient city ruins in front of him, which was full of vicissitudes of history.
This time through perspective, his purpose is not to explore the secrets hidden in the ruins of the ancient city of Copan. When everyone walks into the ancient city later, all the hidden secrets will be revealed to him, so there is no need to rush.
His purpose was to see if there were any gunmen lurking in the ruins of the ancient city and what the security situation was, so as not to accidentally fall into someone's trap, which would be very unlucky.
Under perspective, the situation inside the ancient city was immediately revealed, extremely clear.
Except for some Honduran military police responsible for security, no one was ambushing the ruins of the ancient city. There was not a single tourist or archaeologist inside, and it was very quiet.
After seeing through the situation inside the ancient city ruins, Ye Tian quickly scanned the mountains and forests surrounding the ancient city of Copan in case anyone was hiding in it.
On the edge of those lush mountains and forests, some heavily armed Honduran military police stood scattered, watching the situation inside the mountains and forests with vigilance.
In the mountain forest, except for a few armed security personnel under his command and a few young Mayan men serving as guides, Ye Tian did not find anyone else.
Since the mountains and forests around the ancient city ruins are very dense, and there are many scattered ancient buildings of different heights in the ancient city blocking the view, if someone wants to ambush in the mountains and forests, they can only ambush at the edge of the mountains and forests!
If the ambush location is too deep, then there is no way to see the situation inside the ancient city of Copan, and naturally there will be no ambush.
In addition to his security personnel and the few modern Mayans, Ye Tian also saw the beautiful scenery of blooming flowers and many beautiful birds singing happily in the surrounding mountains and forests, and everything was full of life!
But at this time, he was not in the mood to appreciate the beautiful scenery in this tropical rain forest.
After making sure that the surrounding mountains and forests were safe, he withdrew his gaze and looked at the land beneath his feet.
In an instant, his sight penetrated the bluestone slab under his feet and the soil under the slab, and saw the situation deeper underground.
At first, he didn't find anything. All he saw was some creatures living in the soil, such as earthworms, etc., as well as soil and stones of different sizes.
However, when his sight went more than two meters to nearly three meters underground, a broken granite stone tablet suddenly appeared in his field of vision.
The stone tablet was covered with Mayan hieroglyphs and various exquisite patterns and decorations. Some of the Mayan hieroglyphs seemed to appear for the first time. At least he had never seen them before, nor did he recognize them.
The first time he saw the stone tablet, he deduced the age of the stone tablet from the beautiful light emitted by the stone tablet.
This is a stone tablet from around 100 BC. At that time, the ancient city of Copan was the capital of the Mayan Empire and it was the most prosperous era.
Although he didn't recognize the Mayan hieroglyphs carved on the stone tablets, he didn't know what those ancient words and patterns described, and whether they were related to the Mayan Empire.
However, from the dozens of layers of charming halo surrounding the stone tablet, he could clearly judge that the stone tablet was definitely a valuable top antique cultural relic and was of great research value.
It can be inferred from this that this stone tablet must have been written by the master, and what is recorded on it is very likely to be very important.
Unfortunately, the stele is buried deep underground. It is difficult for people to dig here and dig out the stele from the depths of the ground before finding a suitable excuse or opportunity.
The result of doing that will only expose yourself and arouse suspicion from others. Nothing could be more stupid!
Of course Ye Tian would not do such a stupid thing. He just admired it secretly and then looked away.
Near the stone tablet, there are several other dilapidated antique artifacts, some of which are engraved with Mayan hieroglyphs and various patterns, while others are bare.
Compared with the valuable stone tablet, the other antiques and cultural relics were of relatively average value and could not make Ye Tian excited.
Of course, this depends on the situation.
The antique cultural relics that Ye Tian disdains are likely to be priceless treasures and of great research value in the eyes of other historians and archaeologists who study the Mayan civilization.
In addition to several antique cultural relics, Ye Tian also saw several white bones, including those of adults and those of minors, scattered deep underground.
After a long period of time, the bones have become integrated with the surrounding soil and rocks. They only maintain the outline of a corpse, but they cannot be collected at all.
Beneath these antique artifacts and bones, nothing else was discovered.
After all, this is the capital of the Mayan Empire and the Kingdom of Copán. It is not a place where treasures are buried, let alone a mass grave. Naturally, there will not be many discoveries.
After quickly looking through the situation underground, Ye Tian withdrew his gaze and ended the perspective.
And all of this happened in an instant, without attracting anyone's attention.
"Steven, Professor Delgado, gentlemen, let's go in and see if we can find any clues about the Golden City of the Mayan Empire in the ruins of the ancient city of Copan. If we find anything, that would be great! ”
Hernando said expectantly, and stretched out his hand to make a gesture of invitation.
"Okay, Hernando, to be honest, I can't wait to see the ruins in the ancient city of Copan, and I want to have a good feel for the most glorious Mayan civilization in the ancient history of America"
Ye Tian smiled and nodded, looking full of expectations.
The same goes for everyone else in the tripartite joint exploration team. Everyone nodded slightly, and everyone's eyes were full of expectations.
Next, Hernando and Hierro led everyone into the ancient city of Copan and the most important ruins left by the Mayan civilization in the world.
During the journey, the person in charge of the ruins protection area that manages the ancient city of Copan personally explained to everyone about the ruins of the ancient city of Copan.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the Copan Mayan ruins are located in the Copan Valley, covering an area of about fifteen hectares and about 600 meters above sea level. In terms of geographical distribution, it is halfway between the highlands and lowlands of Central America.
The Mayans who lived in Copán in ancient times used at least five million tons of building materials, many of which were extremely heavy boulders, to build this magnificent city.
In ancient times without the assistance of engineering machinery, and the Mayans of that era did not know how to use metal tools, it was absolutely breathtaking to build a huge building complex of this scale.
In the Mayan civilization, Copan has a very important historical position. It is the oldest and most important ancient city site in the Mayan civilization. It was also the capital of the Mayan Empire and the Kingdom of Copan,..."
While listening to the professional explanation, everyone stepped forward and walked into this world-famous Mayan civilization site.
After passing through the gate of the ruins, a magnificent square immediately appeared in front of everyone.
In this square, there are square-topped pyramids of different heights, mysterious and solemn temples, stone pillars, stone tablets, and stone steps of different lengths engraved with Mayan hieroglyphics and exquisite patterns.
There is also a huge human-headed statue representing the sun god, a priest sitting cross-legged on the top of the altar, a lion-headed statue holding the rain **** in his hand, and many other statues with different shapes and expressions.
In addition, there are some mottled houses of varying heights located in different places on the square.
From their location, as well as the height, decoration and shape of the houses, we can basically infer who used to use these houses, were they priests or merchants, nobles or poor people?
All these things are located in different locations in the square, either standing quietly, lying scattered on the ground, or already collapsed, telling people about the ancient civilization that has long since mysteriously disappeared.
Seeing the situation in the square, Ye Tian and the others who had just entered the ancient city of Copan couldn't help but stop and stared at everything in front of them in stunned silence.
Without exception, they were all completely shocked by the scene in front of them!
