Chapter 99: Maya
After a few days, Jiang Ning came to Guatemala. This is already the sphere of influence of the Mayan Empire. This time he did not choose to follow the jungle animal path, but chose to take the path left by the Mayans in the jungle. The Mayans, and their culture, belonged to the jungle culture. Therefore, to find the Mayans, one must go to their cities.
Although he has the most accurate map in the world, Jiang Ning still spends too much time traveling through the jungle.
After nearly a day of traveling, Jiang Ning finally saw the city of the Mayans. He straightened his clothes and approached the city. As he gradually approached, his figure was also spotted by patrolling soldiers. The soldiers stared at this strange figure in strange clothes, and couldn't help holding the stone spears in their hands!
When Jiang Ning came to the city, looking at the stone building, he admired the ingenuity of the Mayans. Although they were in the Neolithic Age, they made great achievements in mathematics, science, agriculture, culture, art, architecture, etc. It is not inferior to the three major civilizations of Asia, Africa and Europe, and in some places it is even more developed than the creations of modern humans! They don't know how to use wheeled carts or copper and iron, but they build magnificent cities and temples with stones. Created a highly developed architectural civilization!
——
Look at the few hieroglyphs written on the city gate tower, with the help of language proficient in witchcraft. Jiang Ning understood the meaning of "El Mirador" is a majestic large city! The Mayans wrote more than 30,000 words. This aspect is not as good as China, with nearly 100,000 characters.
"What are you?" The soldiers looked at Jiang Ning with vigilance and curiosity.
Both sides have similar skin color, hair color, eye color but different facial features. And Jiang Ning's skin is egg white, slightly yellowish! The hair color is the same, but the facial features are very different. The facial features of Indians are similar to those of Europeans, while the facial features of Chinese are softer, with a soft beauty.
"I come from the other side of the distant sea, a land thousands of miles away! I come here with good intentions to learn!" Listening to the stranger speaking his own language, the guards were obviously taken aback. Realizing that Jiang Ning was a guest from afar, they lowered their weapons and welcomed them: "Guests from afar, thank you for your hard work! Please enter the city, and I will report to His Majesty the Emperor!"
Jiang Ning nodded in agreement! Then he walked into the city and carefully looked at the houses and buildings of the Mayans. Almost all of them are built with boulders. Moreover, the layout is very reasonable, and magnificent pyramids are also built in the city. The streets in the city are clean, which is different from Europe! On the streets of Europe, feces are everywhere, very messy! This is also the reason why Jiang Ning hardly enters the city! It's because it's so dirty.
——
After waiting for about 20 minutes, I saw a large group of people approaching in a mighty manner.
A group of people carried a gorgeous chariot, and on the chariot sat a man wearing gold ornaments, emeralds, and gorgeous feathers on his head. Not surprisingly, the emperor of the Mayans came in person.
——
"Hi, dear guest, my name is Pamela, welcome!" The emperor stepped down from the chariot, walked over in a very hospitable manner, and introduced himself when he came to Jiang Ning.
Although I know that the Mayans are very hospitable and hospitable according to historical records (this is the same as the Chinese!), but I never thought that the emperor would come to greet them in person! Therefore, Jiang Ning made a very ornamental etiquette: "I came here without your consent, and please don't blame the emperor!"
Pamela's eyes lit up. This highly ornamental etiquette made him affirm that this strange guest came from a highly civilized country! Therefore, he took Jiang Ning's arm very kindly: "The Mayans welcome any friend to our homeland. Dear friend, you must also come from a great country!"
Jiang Ning pointed to the direction of China: "There is a huge land on the other side of the sky! My home is there,
My kingdom is there too! It is very rich, the civilization is highly developed, and the army is invincible. Frustrated countless enemies' attempts to invade! And, the people there are just as hospitable as the people under your rule! "
Pamela is very happy, and is also very interested in Jiang Ning's description, and even shocked that there is such a huge land in this world and the civilizations living there! Therefore, he said with great interest: "Dear friend, please go to the palace with me, please tell me about your homeland. At the same time, I will also show you the classics belonging to our Mayans!"
To be honest, Jiang Ning was very interested in the Mayan civilization, even if the emperor didn't say so, he would ask for it. Therefore, he immediately said straightforwardly: "I will introduce my country to you, and at the same time, I also want to see the achievements of civilization created by the Mayan people!"
"My friend, you won't be disappointed!"
Afterwards, Pamela invited Jiang Ning to ride with him on the same chariot and return to the palace!
——
For Jiang Ning's arrival, Pamela specially prepared a luxurious banquet! All kinds of meat, fruits, corn, potatoes, tobacco, sugar, and cocoa are all unique to the Americas!
At the banquet, Pamela warmly entertained Jiang Ning for dinner. Accompanying him are his ministers and priests!
Although these are nothing, but considering the problems of the times, these things can be regarded as a very extravagant banquet.
Facing the emperor's kind invitation, Jiang Ning showed great interest in eating these American specialties. Afterwards, he started a big meal, and when Pamela heard this, the creases on her face were so bright that they could kill mosquitoes! There is a way to come and not to be indecent, so how could Jiang Ning have the nerve not to return the courtesy when he was treated so warmly?
So, with a wave of his hand, plate after plate of delicacies appeared on the stone table in front of him!
Facing the surprised gazes of the emperor and the ministers, Jiang Ning said with a smile: "Please, Your Majesty, have a taste of our hometown's delicacies!"
Pamela said with great interest: "Are you also a priest?" In his opinion, that kind of method is very similar to the priests of the country!
Jiang Ning shook his head: "I am not a priest, but a wizard! Two concepts, I will tell you when I have time."
Pamela was very happy, he ate the delicious food with great interest, took a sip, and his eyes lit up immediately. Put aside the etiquette and start to eat big.
After eating deliciously, he wiped the corners of his mouth and said with emotion: "Your civilization is exactly as you said!" Chinese food is extensive and profound, and there is no nation in the world that cannot be conquered! Anyone who has tasted Chinese food will abandon the food of his own country like a shoe!
——
After the banquet was over, the emperor ordered people to bring the classics and hand them over to Jiang Ning. For him to watch, the fruits of their civilization!
According to records, in 1526, a Spanish expedition came to Maya. The hospitable Mayans appointed a translator, Jiajue, to introduce their civilization to Rando, the first bishop of Spain. Lando, who thought he came from a highly developed and civilized country at that time, was terrified by the things recorded in the Mayan classics. He couldn't believe it. He thought it was "the work of the devil", and ordered to destroy all the classics that carried the glorious Mayan civilization. burnt.
——
Because the Mayan classics were destroyed, it is difficult to verify the specific information about the Maya in later generations! It can only be deciphered and interpreted from some stone tablets, murals and pyramids. According to data records, in 1966, a Mayan stele on the top of Cuirigua Mountain revealed to the world some information that happened 90 million years ago, or even 400 million years ago. In other words, the Mayan Empire existed at least 400 million years ago, but the earth was still in the Mesozoic Era 400 million years ago, and there were no traces of humans at all. No wonder Lando thought the Mayan Empire introduced by the translator Jiajue was a "devil work."
——
Today, Jiang Ning can completely read the civilization materials about the Mayans. If it is known by those scholars who study the history of the Mayans in later generations, they will definitely get all the information about the Mayan Empire that Jiang Ning knows at all costs.
He opened the thick books and materials in front of him, which introduced the history and culture of the Mayans in detail, whether it was mathematics, science, architecture, agriculture, water conservancy, astronomy and calendar, all of which were recorded. With continued in-depth understanding, Jiang Ning discovered that the Mayans actually had a connection with the devil.
It actually records the information of hell and the method of summoning the devil! Moreover, there is also recorded information about the devil 'Baal'!
Devil Baal, the first demon god among King Solomon's 72 pillar demon gods, he appears in various appearances, sometimes as a human being, and sometimes as another image. He spoke with a harsh voice, and was the greatest enemy of Yahweh, the ruler of the east. He has the ability to make people invisible.
The question is, why were the Mayans associated with the devil? Or King Baal among the devils!
Next, Jiang Ning continued to understand deeply, only to find that the Mayans discovered the devil Barr by accident! It was 250 meters deep underground, and the devil Baal was found in a tunnel hundreds of miles long! Thus the devil Baal was summoned and the act of sacrifice was performed!
And the devil Baal kept in touch with the Mayans because of this sacrifice! Teach them to develop civilization, although the devil is evil! However, the knowledge and civilization of the devil belong to a higher civilization. The stronger the devil, the smarter and stronger it is! Moreover, the devil belongs to a higher intelligent life and possesses extraordinary abilities! There is no way to guard against or explain these magical and weird forces. Among them, there are also demons who can predict the future. And as the leader among the seventy-two demon gods, the devil Baal who can oppose Yahweh. Jiang Ning never believed that Barr only had the ability to make people invisible, if so. Then Barr is worthy of his status as the head and monarch!
Now that everything is understood, it is no wonder that some of the actions of the Mayans are called 'the work of the devil'. This is the reason!
