When Ye Tian and the director of the National Museum of Honduras came over, Professor Delgado had already used a towel to wipe off the remaining soil and moss on the recently cleaned stone slab, revealing the starry sky map engraved on the stone slab.
Unlike the situation at the top of the previous nine pyramids, the ground at the top of this Sun God Pyramid was not decorated with a large amount of gold, but was instead paved with huge pieces of light gray marble.
Concerning this point, it can be seen from the several areas that have just been cleared. This is the stone slab in front of you.
Although there is no dazzling gold on this ground, everyone knows very well that the value of these marbles, which are engraved with Mayan hieroglyphs, various patterns, and murals, far exceeds gold.
What these marbles carry is the most glorious and splendid ancient civilization that ever existed on the American continent, the Mayan civilization. No amount of gold can measure it.
In a matter of three or two steps, Ye Tian and the others came closer, and then looked at the cleanly wiped stone slab on the ground, and at the ancient murals and starry sky maps carved on the stone slab.
As soon as they stood still, Professor Delgado turned to look at them, and then said impatiently:
"Steven, look here. If I'm not mistaken, this should be the starry sky map of the northern sky in summer, and it is the starry sky map observed from the top of this pyramid. The accuracy seems to be very high.
Of course, the accuracy of this starry sky map requires further research, but I believe that with the superb astronomical attainments of the ancient Mayans, the starry sky map they drew should be very accurate.
The largest and brightest star on this starry sky map is the North Star. If it is night, we can stand on the top of the main pyramid and see the North Star at the location marked in the picture.
Regarding this, we can wait until night to verify it. I believe this is a very interesting thing. As you can see, the stars on this starry sky map are all inlaid with large and small gems.
I just took a closer look and found that these gems are extremely pure crystals. However, due to their age and exposure to wind and sun, these crystals have lost their luster.
But this is luxury enough. After the Pyramid of the Sun God was born, the stars, or crystals, on the starry sky map can shine brightly as long as they are treated with professional techniques! ”
Professor Delgado was talking with excitement while pointing at the ancient starry sky map engraved on the stone slab, his voice trembling slightly with excitement.
Following the direction of his finger, Ye Tian and the curator of the National Museum of Honduras were admiring this ancient starry sky map, and both of them were very excited.
While admiring and studying this ancient starry sky map, the two of them would look up at the northern sky from time to time, although now the sun was blazing and no stars could be seen at all.
After admiring it for a moment, Ye Tian pretended to be excited and said:
"Yes, this starry sky map carved by the ancient Mayans is exactly the same as the starry sky we see in the northern sky on summer nights, especially the position of the North Star, which can be said to be very accurate.
Although I have no research on astronomy and am a pure layman, I clearly know the location of the North Star in different seasons. It is eternal and can be seen by looking up at the night sky.
If the top of the Pyramid of the Sun was filled with such starry sky maps, and they were so accurate, there is no doubt that this discovery would cause a sensation all over the world and the entire scientific community.
By studying these ancient starry sky maps, we may be able to unlock the secret of why the ancient Mayans were so skilled in astronomy, and even get a glimpse into the mysteries and origins of the universe!
The gems inlaid in this ancient mural are indeed extremely pure colorless crystals. Before inlaying, the ancient Mayans also made preliminary cuts, which shows how attentive they were! ”
As he spoke, Ye Tian reached out and touched the ancient starry sky map, focusing on the beautiful crystals representing the stars in the sky, and was filled with admiration.
Listening to these words, everyone else at the scene nodded, and everyone became more excited.
At this moment, everyone’s eyes looking at the ancient starry sky map on the ground became even hotter, and everyone’s eyes shone!
After a few more discussions, Professor Delgado changed the target and pointed to a mural below the starry sky map and said:
"Look at this ancient mural. The Mayan man sitting cross-legged on the altar, looking up at the stars, and pointing to the northern sky is the North Star God Samanec in the Mayan Nine Gods. He is also known as the Merchant Traveler. Wizard.
We just saw the golden statue of the North Star God Saman Ek in the morning. The image of the North Star God on this mural is almost the same as the golden statue we have seen, so there is no doubt about his identity.
In addition to the consistent image, please take a look at the two Mayan hieroglyphs next to the mural. They represent the North Star God Samanec and the guide for business travelers. Several other hieroglyphs have not yet been deciphered.
The direction of Salman Ek's finger on the mural is exactly where the North Star is. This is enough to explain the identity of the characters in the mural. This is the first time I have seen such a complete and accurate starry sky map. It is amazing! ”
As he spoke, Professor Delgado started to sigh with emotion, with an expression of ecstasy, and he was so excited that he almost burst into tears.
Not only Professor Delgado, but also the director of the National Museum of Honduras standing next to him, was also like this, and there was a bit of greed in his eyes, and a bit of worry about gain and loss.
At this time, the top expert and scholar in Honduras was excited and proud of the shocking discovery in front of him, but he was also worried about whether Honduras could leave these priceless treasures!
The source of his worries was Ye Tian in front of him.
In the following time, Ye Tian and the others studied the ancient starry sky map, as well as the Mayan hieroglyphics and murals for a while, before ending their research and returning to continue their previous work.
The cleaning work has started again, and everyone is more enthusiastic and efficient!
More flowers, trees, and vines were cut or uprooted, and then thrown to the foot of the mountain. There were four more hills at the foot of the mountain.
As the cleanup work continues, more and more of the ground on the top of the mountain is exposed, and surprises keep appearing one after another.
"Steven, we seem to have found a starry sky map of Sagittarius, carved on a stone slab on the ground. The pattern on the mural is very clear. Unfortunately, I don't understand astronomy, so I am not sure.
Beside this picture of the starry sky, there is also a mural and several Mayan hieroglyphs. The outline of the starry sky outlined on the mural does look like a centaur named Chiron with a bow and an arrow."
This time it was Jason who discovered the starry sky map. He almost shouted at the top of his lungs as if he had discovered a new continent.
After hearing the report, Ye Tian and the others immediately put down what they were doing and walked towards Jason.
As Jason said, the starry sky map they discovered was the Sagittarius starry sky map, and it was very clearly depicted. The starry sky map was inlaid with many extremely pure colorless crystals to represent the stars in the sky.
Following Jason's group, the other two groups also discovered two starry sky maps, which were also carved on stone slabs on the ground. There was also a corresponding mural next to them, as well as Mayan hieroglyphs for introduction.
Unfortunately, there are no astronomers here.
Everyone’s astronomical attainments are relatively average. For a moment, they did not recognize these two newly discovered starry sky maps. Which stars, which constellations, or which starry sky do they correspond to in the night sky?
As these ancient starry sky maps were discovered one after another, everyone was certain that there were many ancient starry sky maps engraved on the top platform of this magnificent Pyramid of the Sun God!
If all these ancient starry sky maps are cleaned up, and then observed and studied together, perhaps this is the universe in the eyes of the ancient Mayans!
