At the bottom of the square-topped pyramid, Ye Tian, Professor Douglas and others, as well as the President of Honduras and others, all looked up at the platform at the top of the tower.
Not only them, but almost everyone in the square in front of the Presidential Palace, except for Mattis and the other armed security personnel, all looked at the top of the square-topped pyramid curiously.
On the top platform of this pyramid, the Mayan tribal chief wearing an eagle feather crown, with his face and body covered in oil paint, was jumping up and down, dancing wildly, and mumbling words. People are almost crazy.
Looking at this scene, everyone understood that the Mayan tribal chief was offering sacrifices to the sky and the Mayan gods.
As for what he was saying, no one except himself could understand it.
Suddenly, the dancing Mayan tribe chief stopped, turned to look at the ground, looked at Ye Tian who was standing in the front row, and pointed at him.
Immediately afterwards, the Mayan tribe chief shouted something in highland Maya, which seemed to contain Ye Tian's name.
After the words fell, everyone present who understood what he said turned to look at Ye Tian.
"Stephen, Chief Ek invites you to climb this pyramid and pray with him for the blessings of the gods so that we can find the Golden City of the Mayan Empire when we go to the ancient city of Copan"
Hernando spoke quickly and whispered, explaining the intention of the Mayan tribe chief at the top of the tower.
Ye Tian looked at the square-topped pyramid in front of him and the Mayan magic stick on the top of the tower, then smiled and shook his head and said:
"Hernando, you also know that I am an atheist. Every treasure we have discovered in the past was discovered by our strength and luck, not by the blessing of gods.
I don’t believe in any gods who will send huge priceless treasures to me. I didn’t believe it before, and I don’t believe it now. I definitely don’t think the gods of the Mayans will bless us.
In this joint exploration of the famous Golden City Treasure of the Mayan Empire, I still relied on my own strength, strong self-confidence, and maybe a bit of luck, not the Mayan gods.
The pyramid in front of me is about four meters high. If I go to the top of the tower to pray for blessings from the gods, I don’t know if I can communicate with the Mayan gods, but I will definitely become the most conspicuous target.
You must have not forgotten what happened before. In addition to Marash, I have many enemies. Without exception, those enemies hate me to death. I don’t want to put myself in danger.
In view of this, I would like to express my gratitude to Chief Eke for his invitation. You can convey my meaning to Chief Eke, and it is up to you how you want to explain it."
As he spoke, Ye Tian smiled and nodded at the Mayan tribe chief on the top of the tower, but did not move even half a step.
After hearing his answer, Hernando was silent for a moment and organized his language. Then he looked up to the top of the tower and began to shout loudly in Highland Maya.
Ye Tian was not very concerned about the content of Hernando's shouting. Professor Douglas and Professor Delgado both knew Highland Mayan, so he didn't dare to play any tricks.
In fact, just from Chief Eke’s reaction, one can guess the content of Hernando’s words.
It can be seen that Chief Ek standing on the top of the tower was stunned for a moment, and a trace of shame quickly flashed in his eyes, and then he woke up and looked at Ye Tian.
Fortunately, his face was covered with oil paint, hiding his facial expression, otherwise his expression would have been very ugly.
Next, Chief Ek shouted again in Highland Maya, then he looked away and continued to dance.
This sacrificial ceremony did not last long, and it was somewhat anticlimactic.
After Chief Ek's performance, the President of Honduras, Ye Tian, and Professor Delgado appeared one after another to perform and look forward to this joint exploration operation.
After everyone had finished their performances, the President of Honduras officially announced that the tripartite joint expedition to explore the treasures of the Golden City of the Mayan Empire had officially begun.
Immediately afterwards, a convoy from Honduras drove from a nearby parking lot and joined the tripartite joint exploration convoy led by Ye Tian, making the convoy even larger.
Then, this huge motorcade left the square in front of the Presidential Palace and drove directly to the ancient city of Copán, located in the north of Tegucigal, Brazil, embarking on a journey to explore the Golden City.
……
Copan Reynas is a small town located near the border between Honduras and Guatemala.
This town is located in a valley, with a remote location and a high altitude. In addition to being a border town, it also has tourism functions, and its economic situation is better than that of most areas in Honduras and Guatemala.
The tourist attractions it relies on are the famous Mayan Empire ruins, the Copan Mayan ruins, one of the most famous ruins left by the Mayan civilization on the earth.
Most of the people living in this town are engaged in occupations related to tourism. There are some decent hotels, inns, restaurants, bars, etc. in the town, which are not too deserted.
Many modern Mayans live in the villages and mountains near the town. Most of these modern Mayans make a living by agriculture and mining, and some are engaged in tourism-related occupations.
Although they are modern Mayans, the Mayans here, like most Indians, still stubbornly guard some things of their own nation, and their beliefs are different from those of the urban people.
Chief Eke, who appeared in the square in front of the Presidential Palace of Honduras, and the young Mayans he led, are typical representatives of the modern Mayans.
Of course, the modern Mayans living here are basically very poor. Although they have a little more freedom than the Indians imprisoned in reservations in the United States, their living standards are much worse.
As a tourist town, Copanrinas is much more lively and prosperous than other border towns.
Especially since last year, this border town has been bustling with traffic and tourists. Countless people have poured into this border town like a tide.
Even the rainy season and the notorious hurricane season have not been able to stop tourists. During the rainy season and hurricane season, many tourists from all over the world still come to this town.
As tourists flocked here and spent a lot of money here, this town also prospered abnormally. Those who did business here could count the money so hard that their hands cramped, and they could even dream. Wake up with a smile.
The reason why Copanrenas has undergone this change is well known to everyone, and that is the famous treasure that has been passed down in Central and South America for hundreds of thousands of years, the golden city of the Mayan Empire!
According to legend, the Golden City is probably the largest treasure in the entire Americas. The amount of gold, silver, treasures and antiques in this treasure is enough to drive everyone completely crazy.
Ever since that guy Steven announced to the public last year that the Golden City of the Mayan Empire is likely to be hidden near the ancient city of Copan, people who heard the news immediately went crazy and rushed to the ancient city of Copan, even traveling through wind and rain.
Except for a very small number of tourists who came to visit, in the past nearly a year, the people who came to the ancient city of Copan basically came for the Golden City of the Mayan Empire. Everyone dreamed of making a fortune. A windfall.
However, after such a long time, no one has found the legendary golden city, not even a single gold coin.
Those who came with great ambitions and tried to make a fortune, without exception, all returned in disgrace. Many even paid a huge price, and there were many unlucky ones who died here.
When people's hopes were about to be completely shattered, that **** Steven actually announced publicly that he was going to join forces with the Honduran government and Columbia University to come to the ancient city of Copan to explore the treasures of the Mayan Empire's Golden City.
As the news spread, those guys who had lost hope suddenly became excited again, and even went crazy. They saw the hope of discovering the Golden City and completely changing their lives.
In addition to these guys, more people flocked to Copanrinas, trying to find the legendary golden city and make a lot of money.
Even if you can't make a big fortune, even if you follow that amazing guy Steven and get a small share of the pie, that's enough!
In this case, even more people flocked to Copanrinas.
Of course, this border town has become more prosperous. The few streets in the town are already crowded with people sometimes, such as during meals and in the evening.
Today is the day when the three-party joint exploration operation begins. It is the day when the joint exploration team rushes to Copanrinas. That magical guy Steven is about to come here.
When the time came to about two o'clock in the afternoon, almost everyone in Copanrinas, whether they were staying in a hotel room, sitting in a cafe or pub, or wandering on the street, etc.
Everyone in this border town all looked at the road at the west end of the town that passed through the mountains and forests and led directly to the town. Everyone was extremely excited, their eyes were extremely hot, full of greed, and Full of expectations.
Finally, a huge roar of engines suddenly came and reached the ears of people in the small town.
Immediately afterwards, a medium-sized helicopter flew quickly from a distance and directly broke into people's field of vision.
At this time, Copanrinas was boiling instantly.
"This magical **** Steven is finally here. I have been waiting here for nearly a year and almost lost my life in the rain forest. Finally I have hope. I must find the Golden City, no matter who. Want to stop!"
"I hope this **** Steven is still magical and can successfully find the treasures of the Golden City. As long as the Golden City appears, I will grab some of the treasures even if I risk my life."
While people were talking a lot and secretly feeling jealous, a huge motorcade suddenly appeared at the end of the road, speeding towards Copanrenas.
