Chapter 2542: Quetzal Pyramid
, The fastest update of the latest chapters in the world of treasure hunt!
As everyone expected, the Mayan pyramid buried under the small hill in front of you was really decorated with a lot of gold, making the pulse metal detector ring non-stop.
Not only that, around this Mayan pyramid, several exploration teams also detected a lot of gold buried deep underground, the amount is quite alarming.
As for the number of other things, such as gems, statues, stone tablets, pottery, etc., I don’t know for the time being. Only after excavation and cleaning can we know the result.
After basically exploring the scope of the Mayan Pyramid, Ye Tian ordered the members of the joint exploration team to excavate from all sides of the small hill at the same time to speed up the progress.
The remaining treasures, large and small, scattered around this Mayan pyramid were only marked with their locations and recorded, and they were not immediately excavated.
With the concerted efforts of everyone, the soil and various flowers and trees that covered this Mayan pyramid were quickly shoveled away and piled on an open space on one side.
With everyone's actions, an ancient but magnificent Mayan pyramid gradually appeared in front of everyone. After a lapse of more than a thousand years, it once again radiated a bright light.
Just as Ye Tian expected, this Mayan pyramid is very short, with only two floors. Counting the golden temple on the top of the tower, it is only three floors. The shape is relatively simple, with a taste of ancient and vicissitudes.
On the flat top of this Mayan pyramid, there is a small golden temple, which enshrines a golden deity. There are four marble statues around the top of the tower, only thirty or forty centimeters high, guarding the four sides.
And on the facade of this Mayan pyramid, it is decorated with a lot of gold. Although it is mottled with a lot of wood chips and soil hung on it, it radiates a bright light, and everyone on the scene is a little dizzy.
Like the pyramids and temples discovered before, the ancient Mayan pyramid and the temple on the top of the tower are also engraved with Mayan hieroglyphs and patterns, as well as various exquisite decorations and murals.
Before the Mayan Pyramid was completely cleaned up, many experts and scholars standing by the side crowded and began to admire and study the ancient Mayan Pyramid. Everyone was excited.
Ye Tian did the same. He and David also came to this Mayan pyramid and admired the magnificent ancient pyramid.
In just a few moments, everyone had seen a lot of things from this Mayan pyramid and discussed it enthusiastically.
"This is a Kukulkan Pyramid, also known as the Quetzalcoatl Pyramid. Judging from the pyramid shape and the Quetzalcoatl statue in the golden temple on the top of the tower, this Mayan pyramid should be built in BC, or even longer!"
"That's right! The image of the Quetzalcoatl in the early Maya Empire is very different from that in the later period. The golden statue of the Quetzalcoatl in front of you is obviously from the early Maya Empire. The hieroglyphs carved on the Golden Temple also prove this!"
Many experts and scholars admired this ancient Mayan pyramid while discussing it enthusiastically. Everyone was fascinated, very focused and engaged.
Standing a little outside, Ye Tian, while admiring this magnificent Mayan pyramid, was also introducing the situation to David and Jason.
"As Professor Douglas said, the image of the Quetzalcoatl in the early Maya Empire is different from the image of the Quetzalcoatl in the late Mayan Empire, and the status of the Quetzalcoatl in the hearts of the Mayans is different in different periods.
In the early Maya Empire, the status of Quetzalcoatl was not very important. It only appeared as the wind **** of the nine-united gods, and it was the last of the nine-united Mayan gods, and it rarely appeared on various stone carvings in the early Maya Empire.
Perhaps it is precisely because of this that the scale of the Quetzalcoatl Golden Pyramid is so small, with only two floors, and it is located in the outer area of the Mayan Empire Golden City. This is determined by the early status of the Quetzalcoatl!
In the late Maya Empire, that is, during the heyday of the Maya Empire, the status of the Quetzalcoatl has been greatly improved and occupied a dominant position in the beliefs of the Mayans. In many cases, the Quetzalcoatl and the Sun God are one!
Because of the different images of the Quetzalcoatl in different periods of the Mayan Empire and the different status in the beliefs of the Mayans, everyone agreed that the Quetzalcoatl pyramid should be built in BC. It is not difficult to distinguish! "
Listening to Ye Tian's explanation, David, Jason, and several others nodded gently, understanding the origin of the magnificent Mayan pyramid in front of them.
In addition, they also had a new understanding of the Quetzalcoatl **** worshipped by the Mayans.
After another moment of appreciation, Ye Tian called out to stop the excavation and cleanup work, and did not allow everyone to completely clean out the magnificent Quetzalcoatl pyramid.
The reason for this is of course to save time.
The joint exploration team is going to explore the entire central axis of the Golden City and the rainforests on both sides of the central axis today to find out the general situation of the Mayan Empire Golden City. There is not much time spent here.
As the order came out, the members of the exploratory team who were clearing the Pyramid of Quetzalcoatl stopped their work and withdrew back.
The experts and scholars are the same, they can only temporarily stop their research work and reluctantly return to Ye Tian's side.
"Steven, on the golden temple on the top of the pyramid, the Mayan hieroglyphs of Fengshen are clearly engraved. Based on this alone, it can be said with certainty that this is the Quetzalcoatl Golden Pyramid, built in BC.
Even though this Quetzalcoatl pyramid is very small, with only two floors, it is extremely precious. It is probably the oldest existing Quetzalcoatl pyramid, at least six to seven hundred years earlier than other Quetzalcoatl pyramids.
Because the status of the Quetzalcoatl in the late Mayan Empire was greatly improved, the early-built pyramids of the Quetzalcoatl were basically torn down and rebuilt, or expanded on the original basis, and the construction is even more magnificent!
In this way, there are not many of the Quetzalcoatl pyramids built in the early Maya Empire. Who would have thought that such a splendid and glorious early Quetzalcoatl pyramid still remains in the Golden City of the Mayan Empire!
By studying the hieroglyphs and patterns carved on this pyramid, we can not only understand the conditions of the early Maya Empire, but also the belief in the Quetzalcoatl **** in the early Maya civilization and the changes in this belief! "
Professor Delgado said excitedly, his eyes shining straight.
The performance of the other experts and scholars was the same, all of them were excited, and each of them was full of brilliant light.
Ye Tian looked at these experts and scholars, then smiled and said loudly:
"Gentlemen, the discovery of the Quetzalcoatl Golden Pyramid has undoubtedly made a good start for today's exploration. In the future, I believe there will be more miracles and even bigger surprises.
Well, UU reading www.uukanshu. The excavation and cleaning of the golden pyramid of com, the Quetzalcoatl, will stop here for the time being. After we have explored the Mayan Empire Golden City and figured out the basic situation here, we will come back to dig and clean up! .
At that time, everyone will have time to appreciate and study the main golden pyramid of the Quetzalcoatl, and study the Mayan hieroglyphs and patterns carved on the pyramid. Now, we should continue to explore! "
As he said, he pointed his finger at the rainforest behind the Golden Pyramid of Quetzalcoatl, and walked out first to the dense tropical rainforest.
Seeing his actions, the rest of the joint exploration team immediately followed, everyone was full of energy and expectations!
In a blink of an eye, Ye Tian and the others had walked into the tropical rainforest ahead and continued to explore along the central axis of the Golden City.
Behind them, a ray of sunlight penetrated the canopy and branches of the trees above the rainforest, and through a gap, it happened to shine on the ancient golden pyramid of Quetzalcoatl!
In the next moment, this ancient and mottled Quetzalcoatl Pyramid suddenly radiated an extremely bright golden light, reflecting the magnificence of this lush tropical rain forest!
