What is Mayan civilization?

In the history of ancient world civilization, Mayan civilization seemed to fall from the sky, and came to an abrupt end at the most brilliant and prosperous time. /kloc-In the middle of the 6th century, the Spanish colonists followed Columbus's footsteps and set foot on the land of Central America and came to the Maya tribe. The Mayans appointed translator Jiao Jia to introduce their civilization to Lando, the first bishop of Spain. Lando was frightened by what was recorded in the Mayan classics, and thought it was "the devil's masterpiece", so he ordered them all to be burned. After the catastrophe, the Mayan masters suddenly disappeared magically, and their splendid culture became a charade. Three hundred years later, Steven, a young American diplomat, wrote a book "Travel Documentary-Gap and Yucatan Peninsula in China and America", which aroused people's enthusiasm for studying Mayan culture. So many people are devoted to studying only three Mayan classics, some stone tablets and murals left after the Spanish catastrophe in the middle of16th century. However, Mayan writing is so strange and difficult to understand. For hundreds of years, these three Mayan classics have attracted countless people who want to "open" this "hard-shelled fruit", but in the end they can only sigh at the ocean. Especially after the Second World War, in order to study Mayan culture, both the United States and the Soviet Union invested a lot of manpower and material resources, and even used advanced electronic computers. Even so, so far, it is said that only one third has been recognized. 1966, someone tried to translate a Mayan stone tablet on the top of Queruigua according to these recognized Mayan characters. Surprisingly, it turned out to be a chronicle. It is reported that there are things that happened 90 million years ago or even 40 million years ago in the chronicle. However, 40 million years ago, the earth was still in Mesozoic, and there was no trace of human beings at all. No wonder those religious lunatics in Europe think that the Mayan civilization introduced by Jiao Jia is "the devil's masterpiece". Mayan characters can't even be "typed" by modern electronic computers. Their history can be traced back to 40 million years ago. It can be seen that they are by no means backward nations. Since 1839, when john stephens, an American, first discovered the ruins of ancient Mayan civilization in the tropical jungle of Honduras, archaeologists from all over the world have successively discovered 170 abandoned ruins of ancient Mayan cities in the jungles and wasteland of China and the United States. The discovery time was from 1000 BC to the 8th century AD. The footprints of Mayan civilization started from Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico in the north and reached Guatemala and Honduras in the south. Many designers of modern cities bemoan the magnificent Tikal city when computer-generated maps appear in front of people. Palenque Palace, built in the 7th century, is 0/00 meter long and 80 meters wide. The Governor's Mansion in Uxmar consists of 22,500 stone carvings, which are carefully designed. Although the roof of Chyi Chin Itza's samurai temple has disappeared, the towering 1000 stone pillars still remind people of the spirit of that year. All this makes people feel that this is an extraordinary nation. With the further investigation of Mayan culture, people are surprised to find that the Mayans thousands of years ago had unparalleled mathematical attainments and unique enigmatic characters. Moreover, the giant buildings in chichen itza, Tikal, palenque and other places did not come from the needs of Maya's real life, but were built in strict accordance with the magical Mayan calendar cycle. How accurate is the Mayan calendar and astronomical knowledge? They divide the year into 18 months. They calculated the earth year as 365.2422 days, while modern people calculated it as 365.2425 days. Now, the most advanced measuring instruments calculate the earth year as 365.2423 days, which means that their calculation results are more accurate than ours. They calculated that the year of Venus is 584 days, which is only 7 seconds short of the 50 years of modern people. What an incredible number this is! How did the Mayans thousands of years ago have such an accurate calculation? They still maintain a special religious chronology, with a year divided into 13 months and 20 days each month, which is called "Zorkin Year". Where this calendar came from is really puzzling. Because this chronology is not based on the movement of any celestial body observed on the earth. Some people think that the calendar of "Zorkin Year" was made by the ancestors of Maya on the basis of another planet that we don't know yet. The Mayans mastered the number concept of "0" at least in the 4th century BC, 800 years before China and Europeans, to 1000. They also created a 20-digit counting method, and their numerical calculus can be used in 4 million years. Such a huge astronomical figure can only be used for modern interstellar navigation and measuring the distance between stars. Thousands of years ago, the Mayans slash and burn, covered their bodies with leaves and exchanged things with cocoa beans as the medium. Do they need such numerical calculations? The Mayan calendar can last 400 million years, and the difference between the solar year and the Venus year he calculated can be accurate to four decimal places. They have their own characters, which are hieroglyphics composed of 800 symbols and figures, and their vocabulary is as high as 30 thousand. They have exquisite carving, painting and bronze art. However, before the peak of this high civilization was born, the Mayans lived in tree holes for parties. How did such a primitive tribe suddenly produce such a high degree of civilization? Even in the16th century, the Indians seen by the Spanish on the Yucatan Peninsula full of historical sites still lived in mud houses with leaves and made a living by gathering and hunting. Obviously, the precise astronomical calendar and mathematics, the civilization and art admired all over the world, far exceeded the actual needs of the almost primitive life of the local Indian indigenous people. This makes anyone have to ask a profound question: how did the ancient Maya get that profound knowledge? How did the splendid Mayan culture come into being and then disappear? 1On June 5th, 952, a stone tablet engraved with numbers and patterns was excavated from the ruins of a temple in palenque, an ancient Mayan city on the Mexican plateau. At that time, people only regarded this as a sculpture of ancient Mayan mythology. But in the 1960s, after people went into space by spaceship, American scientists who participated in space research suddenly realized that what was carved on the slate of palenque was a picture of an astronaut driving a spaceship! Although it has undergone patterned deformation, the air inlet, exhaust pipe, joystick, pedal, rudder, antenna, hose and various instruments of the spacecraft are still clearly visible. When this photo was sent to the American Space Center, the space experts were amazed and agreed that it was an ancient spaceship. It seems unbelievable, but it is a certain fact. Therefore, some scholars have put forward a bold view: they think that in distant ancient times, a group of intelligent aliens with high civilization may have appeared in the tropical jungle of America. They walked out of the spaceship, taught all kinds of advanced knowledge to the Maya in primitive times, and then drifted away. They were regarded as gods by the Mayans. The profound knowledge that is difficult to understand in Mayan culture was taught by aliens. The carving on the slate in palenque is also a copy of the alien astronauts by the Mayans. When the aliens left, they promised the Mayans to return to the earth, but they didn't come back in the days when the Mayans chased them and the priests predicted the return of the gods. Therefore, this led to the loss of the Maya's confidence in their religion and priestly rule, which led to the collapse of the entire national psychology, and finally made people leave their hometowns one after another and separate. Maya culture just disappeared. Perhaps people will accuse this view of being too hypothetical. But even if we change this statement, we still can't fully explain the mysterious connotation of Mayan culture, many incredible miracles and the reasons for its sudden disappearance. Mayan human sacrifice, also known as "human sacrifice", is an ancient religious activity to worship ghosts and gods. In the Mayan concept, everything from heaven to hell, including everything in the world, was under the supervision of God. They think that the only thing they should do is to offer the best things in the world to please the gods in exchange for God's tolerance and care for them. Near Itza, Chen Chi, Yucatan Peninsula, there is a mysterious sacred well with a diameter of about 60 meters and a depth of more than 20 meters. Well water is yellow and full of water plants. It is said that Maya often threw living people into wells to please the gods living in wells. Randa once wrote in disgust: "The Mayans had the custom of throwing the living into this well. They believe that these people are not dead, even though they will never see them again. Some people throw their children in as sacrifices to show their piety. They also throw gems and other things they think are precious into the well. Indians are extremely religious about this. If this country is rich in gold, most of it will be thrown into this well. " At the beginning of the 20th century, American amateur archaeologist edward Thompson salvaged treasures such as gold and jade, weapons such as stone knives and spears, and dozens of human remains. It shows that the "human sacrifice" described by Randa does exist.
