Yuan Ye followed Wesley's observations.

"On the east side of Huangquan Avenue, there is the most magnificent Sun Pyramid (base 225×222 meters), up to 63 meters, the original height is 75 meters, and the volume is 1 million cubic meters, which is the third largest pyramid in the world."

Wesley said.

"It is the largest building in the Teotihuacan site and was built for religious ceremonies, with a flat top that was supposed to have a temple."

According to Wesley, the Pyramid of the Sun, which was originally 75 meters high, is now 63 meters, which means that the original height is the temple with a flat top.

"Where's the temple?" Yuan Ye couldn't help but ask.

"Who knows? It is said that at the top of the tower is a temple of the sun..."

Wesley was still busy, the measuring instruments in his hands had been changed three or four, and from time to time he took a pencil and wrote and drew on the map, circling and dotting.

Afraid that Yuan Ye would be bored, Wesley continued: "According to the research of Spanish historians in the 18th century, this temple was originally a splendid and tall statue of the sun god standing in the center of the altar, facing the east, dignified and solemn, wearing countless gold, silver, and precious stone ornaments in front of Xiong. "

"When the sun shines into the temple, the body shines with dazzling light, which makes people awe-inspired, and they used to kill people here to worship the sun god."

Human sacrifice...

Yuan Ye took a slight breath of cool air.

One can imagine what a "barbaric" race this is.

The structure of the Pyramid of the Sun may seem similar to that of the Egyptian pyramids, but it is very different.

The Pyramid of the Sun is the place where the ancient Indians worshipped the sun god, it is a magnificent building, in the shape of a trapezoid, sitting east and facing west, with hundreds of steps to the top.

The interior is made of earth and sand, and from the bottom to the top, the steps are inlaid with huge stone slabs carved with colorful patterns.

More mainly, the Pyramid of the Sun, looks more like an altar.

In fact, this is also true, because at the top of the Pyramid of the Sun, there is a temple, which is not found in the Egyptian pyramids.

The only place similar to the Egyptian pyramids is basically a square, and it also happens to be in the four directions of southeast, south, northwest and northwest, and the four sides of the tower are also in the shape of "gold" equilateral trigram, and the ratio of the bottom edge to the height of the tower is also exactly equal to the ratio of circumference to radius.

This is extremely surprising!

You know, there are two civilizations, one is the Indian civilization and the other is the ancient Egyptian civilization.

What's more, the two are also far apart, across continents and oceans, and it is hard to imagine that they have a tacit understanding and built a square pyramid.

While Yuan Ye was pondering, Wesley circled the Pyramid of the Sun and muttered, "It's almost 430, no problem, everything is fine!" "

Number 430?

Yuan Ye's mind moved.

Because this date is not accidental.

The point 90 degrees west of the Avenue of the Dead marks the point where the sun sets directly opposite the "Pyramid of the Sun" twice a year (April 30 and August 13). And August 13 is what the ancient Mayans considered to be the "first day of the world"

"If August 13 is the day of the beginning of the world that the ancient Mayans believed, then does No. 430 mean the end of the world?"

The day of the end of the world.

That's not a good word.

"The disappointment is that I think too much..."Yuan Ye whispered.

"Archaeologists found that under the foundation of the Pyramid of the Sun is a natural cave, and many ancient sacrificial relics have been found in the four secret chambers at the end of the cave, but there are no coffins. Therefore, they believe that, unlike the pyramids of Egypt, the Pyramid of the Sun in Teotihuacan is not a mausoleum, but a place of worship to the gods. Wesley said.

"Caves?"

Yuan Ye's expression moved.

He saw Wesley around the Pyramid of the Sun, looking for it, was it because he wanted to find the entrance to an underground cave?

But it's not like it.

Wesley was clearly observing something.

Later, Wesley went to the Pyramid of the Moon, and finally, to the Temple of Quetzalcoatl.

The Temple of Quetzalcoatl, also known as the Temple of Kukulkan, the Mayan Temple.

Strictly speaking, in fact, the ancient city of Teotihuacan is not a Mayan ruin, but in the overall system of Indian civilization, these ancient civilizations are all interconnected.

Like what...... They actually believe in the same god - Quetzalcoatl!

It is normal to believe in the gods of the sun and the moon, or other gods of nature, and it can almost be said to be a common feature of ancient civilizations around the world.

However, if you believe in an animal-like god with a specific image, it is different.

Yuan Ye was thoughtful, and his eyes gradually brightened.

"It seems... The last key was also found. Yuan Ye thought secretly.

The Mayans revered the sun god, and they believed that Kukulkan (i.e., the feathered serpent) was the embodiment of the sun god.

On the steps of the temple facing north, they carved a feathered snake with a realistic image of the head of the snake with its mouth and tongue out, but the body of the snake was hidden in the section of the staircase.

Only on the afternoon of the spring and autumn equinoxes each year, when the sun sets in the west, the edges and corners of the illuminated part of the north wall gradually become clear.

The straight lines also formed a wavy shape from top to bottom, like a flying python descending from the sky, swimming like a soaring, a scene that often made the Mayans crazy with excitement.

"I see, I've understood everything."

At this moment, Yuan Ye looked at this Wesley's gaze, and his whole eyes changed.

"Let's go! I've found it! "

Wesley said excitedly, and he even grabbed Yuan Ye's shoulder, which showed his mood swings.

"Where do we go next?" Yuan Ye asked.

"To the Yucatan Peninsula, of course!" Wesley said.

"We must find the incarnation of the sun god before April 30th, and solve all the puzzles!" Wesley said!

"Sure enough, the god you're looking for is actually Quetzalcoatl." Yuan Ye whispered.

The Utanka Peninsula is located in northern Central America, southeastern Mexico, between the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea.

The peninsula is about 320 kilometers wide on average and the coastline is about 1,100 kilometers long. The terrain of the whole peninsula is high in the south and low in the north, with an average altitude of less than 200 meters. The peninsula has a tropical climate, with tropical savannahs in the north and tropical forests in the south.

Yuan Ye and Wesley's destination is the tropical forest located in the southern part of the Yutanka Peninsula.

According to Wesley, in this pristine and ancient tropical forest, even mysterious enough to be fully explored by satellites.

The mystery of this tropical forest is comparable to that of the Congolese tropical forest.

According to Wesley, the real Mayan ruins, or the Mayan civilization, still have remnants in this tropical forest!
