It took Jiang Ning a few days to arrive in Guatemala. This is already the territory of the Mayan Empire. This time he did not choose to take the jungle animal path, but chose to take the path left by the Mayans in the jungle. The Mayans and their culture belong to the jungle culture. Therefore, if you want to find the Mayans, you must go to their city.
Although he has the most accurate map in the world, Jiang Ning still spends too much time crossing the jungle.
After nearly a day of walking, Jiang Ning finally saw the Mayan city. He tidied his clothes and approached the city. As he got closer, his figure was also discovered by the patrolling soldiers. The soldiers looked at this strange figure in strange clothes and couldn't help but hold the stone spear in their hands!
Jiang Ning came to the city and looked at this stone building. He admired the Mayans' ingenuity. Although they were in the Neolithic Age, they had achieved extremely high achievements in mathematics, science, agriculture, culture, art, architecture, etc. It was not inferior to the three major civilizations in Asia, Africa and Europe, and in some places it was more developed than the creations of modern humans! They don't know how to use wheels, copper or iron, but they use stones to build magnificent cities and temples. They created a highly developed architectural civilization!
——Looking
at the hieroglyphs written on the city gate, with the help of language and witchcraft. Jiang Ning knew the meaning of 'El Mirador', a very majestic large city! The Mayan language has more than 30,000 words. This is not as good as China, which has nearly 100,000 words.
"What are you?" The soldiers looked at Jiang Ning with vigilance and curiosity.
Both sides have similar skin color, hair color, and eye color, but different facial features. And Jiang Ning's skin is egg white, slightly yellowish! The same hair color, but the facial features are very different. The facial features of Indians are similar to those of Europeans, while the facial features of Chinese people are softer and have a soft beauty.
"I come from the other side of the distant sea, a land thousands of miles away! I come with good intentions to learn!" Listening to this stranger speaking his own language, the guards were obviously stunned. Realizing that Jiang Ning was a guest from afar, they lowered their weapons and welcomed him: "Guests from afar, thank you for your hard work! Please enter the city first, I will report to His Majesty the Emperor!"
Jiang Ning nodded in agreement! Then he walked into the city and carefully looked at the Mayan houses. Almost all of them were built with huge stones. And the layout is very reasonable, and there are also magnificent pyramids in the city. The streets in the city are very clean, which is different from Europe! The streets in Europe are full of feces and very dirty! This is also the reason why Jiang Ning almost never goes into the city! It's really because it's too dirty.
——After
waiting for about twenty minutes, I saw a large group of people coming over in a mighty manner.
A group of people carried a gorgeous chariot, and on the chariot sat a person wearing gold ornaments, jade, and gorgeous feathers on his head. As expected, it was the Mayan emperor who came in person.
——
"Hello, distinguished guest, my name is Pamela, welcome to your arrival!" The emperor got off the chariot, walked over very hospitably, and came to Jiang Ning and began to introduce himself.
Although it was known from historical records that the Maya people were very hospitable (the same as the Chinese!), it was never expected that the emperor would come to greet them in person! Therefore, Jiang Ning performed a very ornamental etiquette: "I came here without your consent, please don't blame me, Your Majesty!"
Pamela's eyes lit up. This very ornamental etiquette made him sure that this strange guest came from a very civilized country! Therefore, he took Jiang Ning's arm very cordially: "The Maya welcome any friend to our homeland. My 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, and my country is there too! It is very rich, the civilization is highly developed, and the army is invincible. It has thwarted countless enemies' attempts to invade! Moreover, the people there are as hospitable as the people under your rule!"
Pamela was very happy and very interested in Jiang Ning's description. She was even shocked that there was such a huge land and civilization living there in the world! Therefore, he said with great interest: "Dear friend, please come with me to the palace, please tell me about your homeland. At the same time, I will also let you see the classics of our Maya people!"
To be honest, Jiang Ning was very interested in Maya civilization, and the emperor would have asked for it even if he didn't say it. Therefore, he immediately said readily: "I will introduce my country to you, and at the same time, I also want to see the achievements of civilization created by the Maya people!"
"Friend, you won't be disappointed!"
Then, Pamela invited Jiang Ning to ride with him in a sedan chair and return to the palace!
——For
Jiang Ning's arrival, Pamela specially prepared a luxurious banquet! Various meats, fruits, corn, potatoes, tobacco, sugar, and cocoa are all unique specialties of America!
At the banquet, Pamela entertained Jiang Ning with great enthusiasm. Accompanying him were his ministers and priests!
Although these were nothing, considering the times, these things were considered a very luxurious banquet.
Facing the emperor's cordial invitation, Jiang Ning showed great interest in eating these specialties of America. Then, he began to brag a lot. After hearing this, Pamela's face wrinkles were so bright that they could pinch a mosquito to death! There is a saying that it is impolite not to reciprocate. How could Jiang Ning not return the favor when others treated him so warmly?
So, he waved his hand, and plates of delicious food appeared on the stone table in front of him!
Facing the surprised eyes of the emperor and the ministers, Jiang Ning smiled and said, "Your Majesty, please taste the food of our hometown!"
Pamela said with great interest, "Are you also a priest?" In his opinion, that kind of method is very similar to that of 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 food with great interest. After tasting a bite, his eyes suddenly lit up. Putting aside etiquette, he began to eat with relish.
After eating beautifully, he wiped the corners of his mouth and said with emotion: "Your civilization is really as you said!" Chinese cuisine is profound and extensive, and there is no nation in the world that cannot be conquered! Anyone who has tasted Chinese food will regard their own country's food as trash!
——After
the banquet, the emperor ordered people to bring the classics to Jiang Ning. For him to see, their civilization achievements!
According to records, in 1526, a Spanish expedition came to Maya. The hospitable Maya people appointed the translator Jiajue to introduce their civilization to the first Spanish bishop Lando. Lando, who thought he came from a highly developed and civilized country at that time, was frightened by the things recorded in the Mayan classics. He thought it was "the work of the devil" and ordered all the classics carrying the glorious Mayan civilization to be burned.
——Because
the Mayan classics were destroyed, it is difficult to verify the specific information about the Mayans in later generations! It can only be deciphered from some stone tablets, murals and pyramids. According to records, in 1966, a Mayan stone tablet on the top of Quiriguá Mountain revealed to the world some information that actually 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 400 million years ago, the earth was still in the Mesozoic Era, and there was no trace of human beings at all. No wonder Lando thought that the Mayan Empire introduced by the translator Jiajue was "the work of the devil".
——Now
, Jiang Ning can read the civilization data about the Mayans completely. If the scholars who study the history of the Mayans in the future know about it, they will definitely get all the information about the Mayan Empire that Jiang Ning knows at all costs.
He opened the thick books in front of him, which detailed the history and culture of the Mayans, including mathematics, science, architecture, agriculture, water conservancy, astronomy and calendar. As he continued to understand more deeply, Jiang Ning discovered that the Mayans were actually connected with the devil.
It actually recorded the information of hell and the method of summoning the devil! Moreover, it also recorded the information about the devil "Baal"!
The devil Baal, the first demon among the 72 demons of King Solomon, appeared in many appearances, sometimes as a human, and sometimes changed into other images. He spoke with a harsh voice. He was the greatest enemy of Jehovah and the king who ruled the East. He had the ability to make people invisible.
The question was, why were the Mayans related to the devil? Or was it Baal, the king of the devil!
Next, Jiang Ning continued to learn more and found that the Mayans had accidentally discovered the devil Baal! That was in a tunnel 250 meters underground and hundreds of miles long! So they summoned the devil Baal and performed a sacrifice!
Because of this sacrifice, the devil Baal kept in touch with the Mayans! Teach them to develop civilization. Although the devil is evil! However, the knowledge and civilization of the devil belong to a higher civilization. The more powerful the devil, the smarter and more powerful! And the devil belongs to a higher intelligent life with extraordinary abilities! These magical and strange powers cannot be guarded against or explained. Among them, there are also devils who can predict the future. And as a leader among the seventy-two demons, the devil Baal who can oppose Jehovah. Jiang Ning never believed that Baal only had the ability to make people invisible. If so. Then Baal is unworthy of his status as the leader and monarch!
Everything is clear now. No wonder some of the Mayan people's actions are called "the devil's work". This is the reason!
Kawenka has been very powerful these days...
