Deep in the rainforest, a small hill that was originally covered with shrubs and weeds and covered with a thick layer of soil suddenly transformed into a small pyramid about three meters high.
The pyramid that has just been cleaned up is still covered with grass, wood chips and soil. It looks mottled, not to mention grand and spectacular.
However, the many members of the exploration team responsible for cleaning up the Mayan pyramid, as well as Ye Tian and others standing around the pyramid, as well as the experts and scholars, all had expressions of ecstasy.
Under the illumination of many searchlights, this pyramid emits dazzling golden light, reflecting the splendor of this tropical rainforest and turning the eyes of everyone here into gold.
Although this pyramid is not big and has a limited height, it is a veritable ‘gold’ pyramid. The entire pyramid seems to be made of gold. It stands in the rain forest and is extremely dazzling.
On this square-topped pyramid with only three floors, there are many Mayan hieroglyphics and various exquisite patterns and decorations engraved on it. It reveals a bit of civilization in the ultimate luxury, but it is also very harmonious.
In addition, there are steps on each side of the pyramid, leading directly to the small temple on the top of the tower. Go up these four steps. At the top of each step, there is a strange golden statue, separated in four directions.
Looking up from where everyone is, it seems that there is also a strange-looking golden statue enshrined in the temple on the top of the pyramid, and its status is obviously higher than the four statues outside.
“Wow! This pyramid is so dazzling. The ancient Mayans were too extravagant. It is unimaginable how much gold it would cost to build such a golden pyramid!”
“It is indeed the legendary Golden City. There is so much gold here. Could it be that the ancient Mayans hid all the gold in Central and South America here and built it into various buildings?”
There was a sound of exclamation at the scene. Everyone was completely shocked by the golden pyramid in front of them, and they were all dumbfounded.
With the exclamations coming one after another, the scene immediately became excited. Many guys even started to high-five each other and almost danced with excitement.
Ye Tian glanced at everyone present, then said with a proud smile:
“This golden pyramid is probably the same as the golden temple of Comu Camampos that we discovered before. It was also built with a thick layer of gold wrapped around granite.
To build such a pyramid, if all gold was used, the amount of gold consumed would be staggering. Gold is a relatively soft precious metal, so it is obviously not suitable for building a pyramid.
From this point of view, it is basically certain that under the golden surface we see, there are probably pieces of granite. It is those granite stones that support this magnificent pyramid.
Even so, the amount of gold on this pyramid is an astonishing number, enough to make countless people crazy, but for the ancient Mayans, the meaning of this gold was different.
The ancient Mayans discovered the precious metal gold very early, but they did not use gold as currency. Instead, they used gold to decorate temples and offer it to the gods. Their currency was actually various physical objects.
In other words, the ancient Mayans conducted transactions through barter, and the things recognized as currencies by all Mayan city-states, except for the most precious quetzal feathers, were foods such as cocoa and corn.
Because of this, the Golden City of the Mayan Empire, which is a holy land, has so much gold. This was all dedicated to the gods by the ancient Mayans. Who would have imagined that thousands of years later, we would get a big deal! ”
“Hahaha”
There was a burst of laughter and everyone laughed loudly.
Even Hui Lang and others, although they did not understand what Ye Tian was talking about, started laughing.
They are very different from their ancestors. They know the value of these golds and what these dazzling golds can bring. They are not just dedicated to the gods.
When the laughter subsided, Ye Tian’s voice immediately came out again and reached the ears of everyone present.
“Apart from gold, the Mayans did not discover and utilize other metals, nor did they have the habit of using metal tools. Before Western colonists brought metal tools to the Americas, they had been in the Stone Age.
This means that in this volcanic basin, the metal signals we detected with metal detectors before were all piles of gold, and every metal signal we discovered next was also gold!
To be honest, although this is a tropical rainforest full of dangers, in terms of exploring treasures, it is much easier to explore treasures here than in other places. It can basically be done with a metal detector! ”
As soon as the words fell, there was a sound of exclamation on the scene.
“Wow! This is simply too exaggerated. The treasures of the Golden City are too amazing!”
“How much gold is buried in this fire basin? I can’t even imagine it!”
Hearing these exclamations, Ye Tian and the others all laughed.
Including those Hondurans, the atmosphere was very harmonious. Everyone was enjoying the joy of discovery and could not think of anything else for the time being.
It’s hard to say whether these Hondurans will still be able to smile when this huge treasure is distributed!
After some celebration, everyone returned to the topic and got busy.
Part of the exploration team members continued to clean the golden pyramid, while others divided into several groups and began to explore the area around the pyramid under the protection of security personnel and Mayans.
The reason for doing this is based on everyone’s experience.
In the past hour or two, whenever we find a temple or altar, or a pyramid or other important building, we can often find hidden treasures around it and underground.
Because of this, everyone will carefully explore the ground around this golden pyramid, and maybe you will make surprising discoveries.
The members of the joint exploration team are all busy. Ye Tian and the others, as well as Professor Delgado and other experts and scholars, as well as Hernando and others, are not idle either.
They all approached the golden pyramid and began to study the golden statues on the top of the tower, as well as the Mayan hieroglyphs and patterns carved on the outside of the pyramid, to see what secrets were hidden behind them.
In just a moment, Professor Delgado suddenly said excitedly:
“Steven, gentlemen, I know who this golden pyramid was built for. If I read correctly, this golden pyramid should be for the corn **** Yumu Kaq in Mayan mythology.
The golden statue enshrined in the square temple at the top of the pyramid should be the corn **** Yum Kax. The four golden statues scattered in four directions on the top of the tower are four of his subordinates. .
In the Mayan mythology system, the corn gods are the oldest clan of gods, headed by the corn **** Yum Cax. His four subordinates, the four gods of heaven, earth, water and fire, are separated in all directions to protect the corn. god.
The layout of the golden statues on the top of this pyramid and the shape of the golden statues are very consistent with the mythological system of the Maize God Clan, which is enough to prove that this is a pyramid of the Maize God.
More importantly, the Mayan hieroglyphs and patterns engraved on this pyramid record exactly how Umucox brought corn to the world and brought prosperity and harvest to the Mayans. .
Please take a look at this ancient mural. The kind-hearted man with a smile on his face and holding corn in the painting is the corn **** Yumucox. He is one of the most revered gods of the Mayans! …”
While explaining, Professor Delgado pointed to the Mayan hieroglyphs and patterns carved on the pyramid and explained them one by one.
Following the direction of his fingers, Ye Tian and the others looked at the ancient Mayan hieroglyphs, as well as the patterns and decorations that represented different meanings.
At this moment, a burst of chirping suddenly came from everyone’s ears, which sounded extremely sweet, like the sound of nature!
That is the sound made by the pulse metal detector. Obviously, another treasure has been discovered, and it is not far away!
