After a moment of stunned admiration, everyone finally woke up.
Immediately afterwards, there was a sound of exclamation on the scene.
“Wow! The ancient city of Copan is so spectacular. I originally thought it was just a ruins, but I didn’t expect it to be so shocking!”
“It is simply unimaginable how the Mayans built this magnificent city without modern machinery or even metal tools? Could it be that the Mayans really came from outer space?”
Just when everyone was amazed, Ye Tian had turned on his perspective again and quickly looked through several nearby ancient Mayan buildings and the land under his feet.
Everywhere you look, every situation inside and outside these ancient buildings, every detail, and the situation deep underground are immediately revealed with incomparable clarity.
The next moment, a look of surprise appeared deep in Ye Tian’s eyes, but it was fleeting.
Obviously, he had discovered something, and it was a surprising discovery.
But it is a pity that the ruins of the ancient city of Copan are human cultural heritage, listed on the World Heritage List, and are under the jurisdiction of the Honduran government. UNESCO has the obligation and responsibility to supervise.
More importantly, although this tripartite joint exploration of the treasures of the Golden City of the Mayan Empire was carried out in the Copan Valley, it did not include the ruins of the ancient city of Copan.
In other words, even if Ye Tian discovers some valuable treasure in this ancient Mayan city, he cannot dig it casually and needs to go through a series of complicated procedures.
In view of this, Ye Tian could only secretly appreciate the antique cultural relics discovered through perspective, but he had no intention of pointing out the location of those treasures and letting others dig them up.
After quickly scanning the nearby area, he withdrew his gaze and ended the perspective.
Immediately afterwards, Hernando’s expectant voice came from the side.
“Stephen, we are now inside the ruins of the ancient city of Copan. You have said before that if you want to successfully find the legendary golden city of the Mayan Empire, you must start from the ruins of the ancient city of Copan.
Now can you tell us how to find the Golden City of the Mayan Empire? If the clues to the Golden City are hidden in the ancient city of Copan, what exactly are they and where are they? ”
Not only Hernando, but also everyone else at the scene wanted to know the answers to these questions, including Professor Delgado and David.
Without exception, everyone at the scene looked at Ye Tian, and everyone was full of expectations.
Ye Tian turned to look at Hernando, then glanced at everyone present, then smiled and shook his head and said:
“Don’t worry, Hernando, and other ladies and gentlemen, there is plenty of time, we can explore slowly. As long as the golden city of the Mayan Empire is indeed hidden near the ancient city of Copan, we will definitely be able to find it.
I believe there are many people here like me. This is the first time to come to the ancient city of Copan and the first time to see the most important Mayan civilization ruins in the world. Since everyone is already here, it is natural to visit it. Fan.
Only in this way will everyone’s trip be worthwhile. Even if we don’t find the Golden City of the Mayan Empire in the end, our trip will be considered not in vain. We will have something to remember when we go back, and at the same time we can improve everyone’s understanding of the Mayan civilization.”
After hearing this, everyone at the scene nodded slightly and had no different opinions.
Faced with this situation, Hernando and the other Hondurans could only endure and nod in agreement.
After a pause, Ye Tian continued:
“After everyone has visited the ruins of the ancient city of Copan, we will launch a joint exploration operation to find clues about the Golden City of the Mayan Empire. I can also ask my staff to use various high-tech equipment to thoroughly explore the ancient city of Copan.
Although the ancient city of Copan has been explored countless times by countless historians, archaeologists, and professional treasure hunters, and a large amount of information and secrets about the Mayan civilization have been discovered, I believe there are still many secrets hidden here.
The clues about the Golden City of the Mayan Empire are one of the secrets, and probably the biggest secret. Our Brave and Fearless Exploration Company has the most advanced exploration equipment in the world and is extremely experienced.
Now that we are here, we naturally have to explore the place thoroughly. Maybe we will make a surprising discovery. I know that the ancient city of Copan is a cultural heritage of mankind. Even if we find something, it has nothing to do with us.
It doesn’t matter, just think of it as our contribution to Honduras and the study of the Mayan civilization. If we really make any major archaeological discoveries in the ancient city of Copan, that would be great. I am happy to see it. become! ”
“Hoo——!”
The two observers from UNESCO breathed a sigh of relief and immediately relaxed a lot.
As long as you don’t take advantage of the ancient city of Copan, you can explore here as you like. If you can make major discoveries, that would be great.
Afterwards, everyone chatted for a few more words, and then dispersed and formed their own teams to visit the most important ancient city ruins left by the Mayan civilization in the world.
The same goes for Ye Tian. He formed a team with David, Professor Delgado and others, and walked together towards a Mayan temple not far from the door.
In a few steps, they arrived in front of the temple and stopped to admire it.
This is a temple that has been abandoned for a long time. The whole body is made of granite stones of different sizes. Most of them have collapsed. Only about one-third of the temple is still standing. It has long been in ruins. .
Because it was abandoned for such a long time, trees, ancient vines, and various other plants once grew on this dilapidated Mayan temple, as well as inside the temple and even in the crevices of the rocks.
Due to the powerful force of plant growth, this temple was severely damaged. Some extremely heavy stones were pushed aside by some trees and grass, making the temple look crumbling.
At the end of the 19th century, after people rediscovered the ancient city of Copan and carried out relevant research and exploration operations, the destructive trees, grass, and other plants were cleared away.
The various animals that originally lived in the temple were driven away by the endless stream of archaeologists and explorers who came to investigate, and could only hide in the surrounding lush tropical rainforests.
For more than a hundred years, the people who managed the ancient city of Copan would clean up the regrown trees and grass every year to prevent these extremely energetic guys from completely destroying the ruins of the ancient city.
Because of this, the ancient city of Copan has been preserved, and this seemingly crumbling Mayan temple has been able to persist to this day.
You can see that there are many Mayan hieroglyphs, as well as various patterns and decorations carved on the outer wall of this Mayan temple.
Due to the long history and the influence of various factors such as weathering, these hieroglyphics and patterns are quite blurred, and some even have only an outline left. It is difficult to speculate on the specific meaning.
On the steps in front of this temple, there is a huge human head statue with a ferocious expression and exaggerated shape, which gives people a weird feeling.
In addition, there are many broken granite stones of different sizes scattered in front of and around the temple. Some are engraved with Mayan hieroglyphs and patterns, while others are bare.
These granite stones come from this Mayan temple and were once part of the temple. After the temple collapsed, they were scattered here and people did not restore them.
Everyone stood in front of the temple and admired it for a while. Professor Delgado, who had been to the ancient city of Copan countless times and conducted archaeological research here, began to introduce this Mayan temple to everyone.
“Stephen, David, the temple you are seeing now has a very important position among the many architectural sites in the ancient city of Copan. It was once one of the most important temples in the Kingdom of Copan.
The human head statue placed on the steps is the sun god. This is not the sun **** Apollo in ancient Greek mythology, but the Mayan sun god, with a gold star engraved between his eyebrows! …”
With Professor Delgado’s introduction, everyone looked at the statue of the Sun God and the Venus between the Sun God’s eyebrows!
