Treasure Hunt all over the World

Chapter 2556 Maya's universe

When Ye Tian and the director of the National Museum of Honduras came over, Professor Delgado had already wiped off the mud and moss left on the slate that had just been cleaned with a towel, revealing the starry sky map engraved on the slate.

Unlike the situation at the top of the nine previous pyramids, the ground at the top of the Pyramid of the Sun God was not decorated with a lot of gold, but covered with huge pieces of light gray marble.

Regarding this point, it can be seen from the few areas that have just been cleaned up that this is the case with the stone slab in front of us.

Although there is no dazzling gold on this ground, everyone knows very well that the value of these marbles engraved with Mayan hieroglyphs, various patterns, and murals far exceeds gold.

What these marbles carry is the most glorious and splendid ancient civilization that ever existed on the American continent, the Mayan civilization, no amount of gold can measure it.

In three or two steps, Ye Tian and the others had come close, and then they looked at the wiped stone slab on the ground, and at the ancient murals and starry sky maps engraved on the slate.

As soon as they stood still, Professor Delgado turned his head to look at them, and then said impatiently:

"Steven, look here, if I'm not mistaken, this should be the starry sky map of the northern sky in summer, and it is the starry sky map observed from the top of this pyramid, the accuracy seems to be very high.

Of course, the accuracy of this starry sky map still needs further research, but I believe that the starry sky map drawn by the ancient Mayans should be very accurate based on their superb astronomical attainments.

The largest and brightest star in this starry sky map is Polaris. If it is night, we can see Polaris at the position marked in the picture if we stand on the top of the main pyramid.

Regarding this point, we can wait until night to verify it. I believe this is a very interesting thing. You can see that the stars on this star map are all inlaid with large and small gemstones.

I checked carefully just now, and these gemstones are crystals of extremely high purity, but because they are too old, and have been exposed to the outside all year round, these crystals have lost their luster.

But this is also extravagant enough. After the Pyramid of the Sun God was born, the stars or crystals on the starry sky map, as long as they are professionally processed, they will be able to bloom brilliantly! "

Professor Delgado was talking happily while pointing to this ancient map of the starry sky engraved on the slate, his voice trembling slightly with excitement.

Following the direction of his finger, Ye Tian and the curator of the National Museum of Honduras were admiring this ancient map of the starry sky, both of them were very excited.

While admiring and studying this ancient map of the starry sky, the two of them would look up at the northern sky from time to time, although the sun is now in the sky, and there are no stars at all.

After appreciating it carefully for a moment, Ye Tian pretended to be excited and said:

"That's right, this map of the starry sky engraved by the ancient Mayans is exactly the same as the starry sky in the northern sky we see on summer nights, especially the position of the North Star, which can be said to be very accurate.

Although I have no research on astronomy, I am a pure layman, but I know the position of the Polaris in different seasons. It is eternal and can be seen by looking up at the night sky.

If the top of the Pyramid of the Sun God is engraved with such starry sky maps, and they are all so accurate, there is no doubt that this discovery will cause a sensation all over the world and the entire scientific community.

By studying these ancient starry sky maps, we may be able to unravel the secret of why the ancient Mayans were so brilliant in astronomy, and even get a glimpse into the mysteries and origins of the universe!

The gems inlaid on this ancient mural are indeed colorless crystals with extremely high purity. Before inlaying, the ancient Mayans made a preliminary cut, which shows how hard they are! "

As he said that, Ye Tian reached out and stroked this ancient starry sky map, focusing on the beautiful crystals that represent the sky full of stars, and he was full of admiration.

Hearing these words, other people at the scene nodded their heads, and everyone became even more excited.

At this moment, the eyes of everyone looking at this ancient starry sky map on the ground became even hotter, and everyone's eyes were shining!

After discussing a few more words, Professor Delgado shifted his target, pointing to a mural under the starry sky map and said:

"Look at this ancient mural, the Mayan man sitting cross-legged on the altar looking up at the starry sky and pointing to the northern sky is Samanek, the North Star God in the Mayan Nine Gods. He is also known as the guide of the merchant traveler.

We only saw the golden statue of the North Star God Samanek this morning. The image of the North Star God on this mural is almost the same as the golden statue we have seen, so there is no doubt about his identity.

In addition to the consistent image, please look at the two Mayan hieroglyphs next to the murals. The meanings they represent are Samanek, the god of the North Star, and the guide of the merchant traveler. The other hieroglyphs have not yet been deciphered.

The direction of Samanek’s finger on the mural is exactly the position of the North Star, which is enough to explain the identity of the characters in the mural. This is the first time I have seen such a complete and accurate starry sky map. It is amazing! "

As he said that, Professor Delgado expressed emotion, with an expression of ecstasy, and he was so excited that he almost burst into tears.

Not only Professor Delgado, but also the curator of the National Museum of Honduras standing next to him, is not the case, and his eyes are a little more greedy, and there is also a little bit of anxiety about gains and losses.

At this time, the top expert and scholar in Honduras was excited and proud of this shocking discovery, but also worried about whether Honduras could leave these priceless treasures!

The source of his anxiety was Ye Tian in front of him.

In the following time, Ye Tian and the others studied the ancient starry sky map, as well as the Mayan hieroglyphs and murals for a while, before finishing the research and returning to continue the previous work.

The cleanup has started again, and everyone is more motivated and efficient!

More flowers, trees, and vines were cut down or uprooted, and then thrown to the foot of the mountain. There were already four small hills at the foot of the mountain.

As the cleaning work continued, more and more ground on the top of the mountain was exposed, and surprises kept appearing one after another.

"Steven, we seem to have found a map of the constellation Sagittarius, engraved on a stone slab on the ground, and the pattern on the mural is very clear, but unfortunately I don't know astronomy, so I'm not sure.

Next to this starry sky map, there is also a mural and several Mayan hieroglyphs. The outline of the starry sky outlined on the mural really looks like Chiron the Centaur with a bow and an arrow.”

This time, it was Jason who discovered the star map. He almost shouted out as if he had discovered a new continent.

Hearing the notification, Ye Tian and the others immediately put down what they were doing and walked over to Jason.

As Jason said, the starry sky map they found is the Sagittarius sky map, and it is very clearly depicted. The starry sky map is inlaid with many extremely pure colorless crystals, which are used to represent the sky full of stars.

After Jason's group, the other two groups also discovered two starry sky maps, which were also engraved on the stone slabs on the ground, with a corresponding mural next to them, and Mayan hieroglyphs for introduction.

Unfortunately, there are no astronomers here.

Everyone's astronomical attainments are relatively average, and for a while, they didn't recognize these two newly discovered starry sky maps. Which stars, which constellations, or which starry sky do they correspond to in the night sky?

With the discovery of these ancient starry sky maps one after another, everyone has affirmed that there are many ancient starry sky maps engraved on the top platform of this magnificent Pyramid of the Sun God!

If all these ancient starry sky maps are cleaned up and then observed and studied together, perhaps this is the universe in the eyes of the ancient Mayans!
