In the northeast corner of the ancient city of Copan, Ye Tian and the others were standing in front of the main pyramid, admiring this ancient and magnificent Mayan building, and they were all amazed.
Compared to the well-known ancient Egyptian pyramids, not many people know about the Mayan pyramids.
As far as the existing pyramids in the world are concerned, the Pharaoh's Pyramid in Egypt seems to be larger and more magnificent. It dominates the Mayan pyramids in terms of popularity and momentum.
In fact, the Mayan pyramids are no worse than the pyramids of the ancient Egyptian pharaohs, and they are even more mysterious, just like the mysterious Mayan civilization that disappeared.
The two most famous pyramids, the Pyramid of Kukulkan and the Pyramid of Cholula, are even more impressive than the pyramids of the ancient Egyptian pharaohs that stood on the banks of the Nile.
The Pyramid of Cholula, in particular, has a foundation four times that of the famous Pyramid of Giza and is twice as large in volume. It is the largest known pyramid in the world.
But the Pyramid of Cholula is often ignored by people, so that when it comes to pyramids, the first thing people think of is the pyramids of the ancient Egyptian pharaohs, and the famous Giza Pyramids.
The reason why this happens is because a large part of the Cholula Pyramid is buried in the soil, and people cannot see its full picture at all.
Because the Pyramid of Cholula was too tall and looked like a mountain, it was ignored by a Spanish explorer and a church was built on the pyramid.
In addition to size, the shapes of Egyptian pyramids and Mayan pyramids are also different. Mayan pyramids are mostly conical flat-top structures. There is usually a temple or altar on the top of the tower to worship gods.
There is another difference between the two types of pyramids. The Mayan pyramids are often engraved with hieroglyphs and various patterns to record the history and civilization of the Mayans. They are both a history book and an altar.
The ancient Egyptian pyramids were the tombs of the pharaohs. The outside was relatively simple, aiming for tallness and solemnity. The inside of the pyramid was filled with various funerary objects, creating an underworld world.
In these aspects, Ye Tian prefers the Mayan pyramid.
Although various sacrificial rituals are often held on the Mayan pyramids, with livestock and even human sacrifices, the aura of death is far less intense than that of the Egyptian pyramids.
The main pyramid of the ancient city of Copan in front of you is not as famous as the famous Kukulcan and Cholula pyramids, but in the history of the Mayan Empire, its status is no worse than those two pyramids, or even more important.
This Mayan pyramid is about thirty to forty meters high, with seven floors and four sides in total.
There is a steep staircase leading directly to the top of the pyramid on each side of the pyramid. There are ninety-one steps in total. Counting the step on the top of the pyramid, the four steps add up to a total of 365 steps, which is exactly the number of days in a year.
The Mayans attached great importance to astronomical data. The buildings are full of numbers about the movement of celestial bodies. In addition to the number of steps, there are 52 four-corner reliefs on each side of the pyramid, representing the first century and fifty-two years of the Maya.
On the top platform of this Mayan pyramid, there is an ancient and dilapidated temple, which is used to worship the gods. It is also the most important temple of this pyramid and even the entire ancient city of Copan.
In addition to being a temple, the building on the top of the pyramid is also an observatory. It was a place for the Mayans to observe astronomy and stars. It was an integral part of the Mayan Empire's huge observatory network.
In addition, on the outside of this pyramid, on the mottled granite ashlar, there are many Mayan hieroglyphics and various patterns and decorations engraved on it. The steps are also engraved with many hieroglyphs and various patterns.
One by one, Ye Tian and the others standing in front of the main pyramid were shocked and even a little dazzled by this magnificent Mayan pyramid.
As before, the person who introduces and explains the main pyramid to everyone is still Professor Delgado, who has been here countless times and is extremely familiar with it.
"Gentlemen, the pyramid you are seeing now is the main pyramid of the ancient city of Copan. It is also the most important pyramid of the Copan Dynasty. It has an extremely important position in the entire history of the Mayan Empire.
Over the past 100 years, countless archaeologists have carefully studied this main pyramid, studied the words and patterns engraved on it, and studied the temple at the top of the tower. No one has been missed.
Through research, archaeologists have cracked many secrets hidden in this main pyramid, but all archaeologists agree that there must be more secrets hidden in this main pyramid.
This is likely to include the secret of the Golden City of the Mayan Empire. The pyramid carved on the head of the six-pointed golden scepter in Steven's hand is most likely the main pyramid of the Kingdom of Copan."
Speaking of this, Professor Delgado couldn't help but look at Ye Tian and nodded lightly at him, his eyes full of envy.
Hernando and Hierro, as well as several other Honduran experts and scholars, and two observers from UNESCO, who heard about this for the first time, immediately exploded.
"What? The head of Steven's six-pointed golden scepter is actually engraved with the pattern of the main pyramid. Could it be said that this main pyramid is the key to the golden city of the Mayan Empire?"
"Steven, you guys have been hiding it from us so hard. No wonder you haven't allowed us to carefully appreciate and study the six-pointed star golden scepter head. It turned out to be because of this!"
Amidst the exclamations, Hernando, the other Hondurans, and the two UNESCO observers all turned to look at Ye Tian, their eyes extremely hot.
Hernando, who was most familiar with Ye Tian, had eyes that were not only burning, but also a bit sad.
Ye Tian looked at these guys, then smiled and said loudly:
"Gentlemen, Professor Delgado is right. The six-pointed star golden scepter in my hand does have a pyramid pattern engraved on the head, and the hieroglyphics of the Golden City are engraved next to it.
Through some careful research and comparison, we have just determined that the pyramid pattern on the head of the six-pointed star golden scepter should be the main pyramid located in the ancient city of Copan.
Therefore, we deduce that the golden city of the Mayan Empire, which has been spread for hundreds of thousands of years in Central and South America, should be in the mountains and forests near the ancient city of Copan, and we have also announced this discovery.
Everyone knows what happened next! It can be said with certainty that the six-pointed star golden scepter head in my hand is probably related to the golden city of the Mayan Empire and is a key clue.
For the sake of confidentiality, although I have publicly displayed the six-pointed star golden scepter head, I have never shown its details to avoid leaking the secret, so you have not been able to see that treasure.
The six-pointed star golden scepter head is just a clue, and it does not clearly indicate the location of the Mayan Empire's golden city. If you want to find this famous treasure, you still need to explore.
After visiting the main pyramid later, I will climb the tower alone to verify some of my conjectures and see if I can find any clues about the location of the Golden City. I hope to find something.
Now let’s appreciate this pyramid. Regardless of whether this main pyramid is related to the Golden City or not, it is a breathtaking and great building that deserves to be appreciated! ”
As he spoke, Ye Tian raised his hand towards Professor Delgado and made a gesture of invitation.
Professor Delgado nodded slightly, then picked up the previous topic and continued to introduce the main pyramid.
"After research by many archaeologists, everyone has unanimously concluded that this main pyramid should have been built during the period when the Sapphire Blue Parrot ruled the Copán Dynasty. It took decades to complete..."
As the explanation started again, everyone looked at Professor Delgado and the magnificent main pyramid of the Kingdom of Copan.
At this time, Ye Tian has secretly turned on clairvoyance and begun to explore the secrets hidden in the main pyramid!
