Treasure Hunt all over the World

"Hernando, what's going on? There seems to be no need for such a sacrificial ceremony, right?"

Ye Tian asked in a low voice, and pointed to the modern Mayans in the center of the square who were wearing national costumes and dancing the Great God, and the square-topped pyramid.

At this time, the group of them got out of the car and stood on the edge of the square, looking at everything in front of them curiously.

Several leaders of Columbia University, including Professor Douglas and Professor Delgado, as well as Hernando and Honduran Minister of Culture Hierro, have all come here.

Hernando looked at the situation in the square, and then explained in a low voice:

"You also know, Steven, we Hondurans are mainly of mixed Hispanic and Indian descent. This time we are going to the ancient city of Copan, which was once the royal city and holy land of the Mayan Empire!

There are still many modern Mayan tribes living there, and it is the territory of the Mayan tribe. In order to take care of and ease the emotions of the people, we have conducted such a Mayan sacrificial ceremony.

Our tripartite joint exploration operation is about to start, and such a sacrificial activity also means a good omen, I hope this joint exploration operation will go well and find the Golden City of the Mayan Empire."

Hearing this explanation, Ye Tian just nodded with a light smile and didn't say much, and the same goes for everyone else.

After chatting a few words, everyone walked into the square under the leadership of Hernando, and walked straight to the square-topped pyramid altar in the center of the square.

At the gate of the presidential palace in front, the President of Honduras walked out of the presidential palace with a group of high-level government, parliament, and military officials, and walked towards the pyramid altar.

Outside the cordon at the edge of the square, there were a large number of media reporters from Honduras and around the world, as well as many onlookers, many of whom had ulterior motives.

Especially those media reporters with different backgrounds, how could they let go of such a great opportunity and start asking questions loudly one by one.

"Good morning, Steven, I'm a reporter from the Honduras News, may I ask how sure you are of finding the famous treasure of the Mayan Empire's Golden City during this tripartite joint exploration operation?"

"Good morning, Steven, I'm a reporter from CBS TV station. Since you signed the tripartite joint exploration agreement and announced to the public that you are about to launch an operation to explore the gold and treasures of the Mayan Empire, there have been protests from the outside world!

as far as I know,

Whether it is the Rockefeller Center building in New York where your company is located, or the downstairs of the hotel where you live, there are many people protesting and demonstrating. How do you respond to these voices of protesting and demonstrating? "

Ye Tian didn't give any response to the loud questions from these media reporters, as if he had never heard of it.

He just looked at these media reporters, and nodded slightly at these guys who feared that the world would not be chaotic, and then ignored them.

Soon, the group of them came to the center of the square and stopped beside the square-topped pyramid altar.

Immediately afterwards, the President of Honduras and his party also came here and joined Ye Tian and the others.

After everyone met, it was natural to have some superficial articles such as politeness and pleasantries, shaking hands with each other.

Afterwards, Ye Tian pointed to the square-topped pyramid close at hand, pretending to be curious and said:

"This square-top pyramid looks a bit interesting. If I read it correctly, this square-top pyramid is an antique cultural relic with a long history and has high research value.

It has a history of at least 1,500 years, and it has a very strong Mayan civilization. The Mayan hieroglyphs and patterns carved on the pyramid are the best proof.”

After the words fell, Hierro, who was standing aside, immediately continued:

"Steven, your vision is as sharp as in the legend, yes, this square-topped pyramid is an antique cultural relic with a long history and great research value, and it comes from the ancient city of Copan.

According to the research of our Honduran historians and archaeologists, this pyramid should have been built in the early days of the Copan Dynasty, that is, around the fifth century AD, with a history of about 1,500 years ago.

At that time, it was the period when King Bluebird had just arrived in the Copan Valley and established the Copan Dynasty. After a long period of time, the pyramid had already collapsed and the stones were scattered all over the place.

In the 1970s, an archaeological team discovered these stones used to build the square-top pyramid during an investigation in Copan, and the Honduran government collected these stones.

In order to protect these valuable antique relics, in order to show the brilliant achievements of Mayan civilization, and these stones are not many, we have stored these stones in the National Museum of Honduras.

For a long time, these stones were stacked into square-top pyramids and placed in the hall of the National Museum of Honduras. Later, the museum was rebuilt and expanded, and they were received in the warehouse.

This time we are going to the ancient city of Copan to explore the treasures of the famous Golden City of the Mayan Empire. We need to hold a sacrificial ceremony, so we moved these stones out and placed them into a pyramid in the center of the square.”

"It turns out that this square-topped pyramid actually came from the early Copan dynasty, so I must take a good look at this ancient square-topped pyramid, maybe I will find something!"

After speaking, Ye Tian walked towards the square-topped pyramid in the center of the square, looking very excited.

However, Professor Delgado, who studies the ancient history and civilization of the Americas, and others, would not let go of this opportunity, and immediately followed, all of them with bright eyes.

Those Hondurans headed by the President of Honduras could only follow after seeing Ye Tian's performance, even though they couldn't understand this simple and vicissitudes of life at all.

In two or three steps, Ye Tian came to the side of this square-topped pyramid.

He first nodded slightly to the Mayan tribal chief who danced the great god, and then he looked at the square-topped pyramid in front of him.

Professor Douglas and Professor Delgado followed closely and also began to study the relics of the Copan Dynasty of the Mayan Empire.

This is a typical Mayan pyramid. Compared with the famous Egyptian pyramid, it is undoubtedly much shorter. It is only more than four meters high. The bottom is square, and it gets smaller as it goes up.

To be precise, the pyramid in front of me is also a very small one among the many pyramids left by the Mayan civilization. It is not comparable to the famous pyramids of Cholula and Kukulkan.

Unlike the Egyptian pyramids, the top of the Mayan pyramid is flat, and a temple for sacrifices is often built on the top, surrounded by four steps leading directly to the top of the tower.

However, the temple on the top of the Mayan pyramid in front of me has long since disappeared, leaving only a square platform, which can also be used for sacrificial ceremonies.

On this ancient square-topped pyramid, there are many strange-shaped Mayan hieroglyphs carved, as well as some patterns with unknown meanings and exquisite decorations, some of which are damaged and difficult to identify.

Ye Tian is not a historian and archaeologist who studies the Mayan civilization, nor is he a character and symbologist. Except for some Mayan characters he has seen before, he does not know many characters and patterns here.

However, he can see through!

While appreciating and identifying these Mayan hieroglyphs and patterns, he has secretly turned on the perspective and began to explore this ancient square-topped pyramid to see if there are any secrets hidden in those words and patterns.

In just a moment, a hint of surprise flashed in the depths of his eyes, but it was so fleeting that no one noticed it.

Obviously, he has discovered something, and it is likely to be related to the Golden City of the Mayan Empire, but only he can see this secret, and no one else can know it at all.

On the other side of this square-topped pyramid, the faces of Professor Delgado and Professor Douglas showed a look of disappointment.

"Steven, the Mayan hieroglyphs and patterns on this square-topped pyramid are all known, and there is nothing new to discover, which makes us rejoice in vain!"

Hearing this, a smile appeared on the corner of Ye Tian's mouth immediately.

Empty joy? That's you, not me!
