Archaeologists have searched the enigmatic Mayan ruins for years and have found many Mayan artifacts, many of which defy comprehension of their meaning. Surprisingly, some of the recognizable patterns are remarkably close to cutting-edge modern technology.
Between 1948 and 1952, Mexican archaeologist Prof. Alberto Ruz Lhuiller found nine costumed deities carved into the walls of a huge stone chamber in the "Temple of The Inscriptions" at the Temple of Barranje. In the "The Temple of The Inscriptions" of the Temple of Baronje, he found on the walls of a huge stone chamber nine magi in full costume and a relief of a young man with a marvelous headdress.
On closer inspection, the relief resembled a modern-day spacecraft! The relief of the Mayan Stele Temple depicts a helmeted youth operating a machine that resembles a flying machine. There is a close relationship between the bas-reliefs found by Prof. Lully at the temple of Balenje and the Mayan inscriptions. In the deciphered inscription, it describes "the white son of the sun, in imitation of the god of thunder, breathing fire out of both his hands ......"
Skeptics will say that this is a scenario imagined by the ancient Mayans in their reverence for the sun. But according to the stone carvings and inscriptions found by Prof. Lully, it's "fact". If the Maya really did draw this picture on the machine they built, then they were already capable of space exploration. Perhaps a sophisticated calendar was just what the space-faring Mayans needed.
Allegedly found in 1927 in the Mayan ruins in Belize, Central America, the crystal head made of quartz processing and grinding from the crystal head, almost the same size as the human skull. It was 12.7 centimeters high and weighed 5.27 kilograms, and was carved from a woman's skull.
It is believed that the Maya carved the crystal head according to the human skull, showing the mature anatomy and optical technology, using some kind of modern technology is still not mastered collision technology made. Crystal head not only realistic appearance, but also the internal structure and human skull structure completely consistent. The level of craftsmanship is so high that the combination of diamond mirrors hidden in the base and faceted lenses in the eye sockets emit a dazzlingly bright light.
Modern optical technology arose in the seventeenth century, while mankind accurately recognizes its own bone structure in the eighteenth century after the rise of anatomy. The crystal head was carved on the basis of a very good understanding of human bone structure and optical principles, how the Mayans mastered the deep knowledge of anatomy and optics? Crystal that is, quartz crystal, very high hardness, second only to diamond (steel) and corundum, with copper, iron or stone tools, can not be processed. Even modern people who want to carve crystal products can only use diamond and other modern tools.
Some people who are superstitious about the mysterious legend of the crystal skulls claim that there are 13 crystal skulls on Earth, which are sacred to the Mayans and have extraordinary powers. If these 13 crystal skulls are put together, they can reveal the secrets of mankind's past and future. At present, some museums in France and the United Kingdom, as well as individual collectors total **** collection of dozens of crystal skulls from a variety of sources.
The French Museum of Primitive Art in Kébranly commissioned the French Museum Restoration and Research Center in 2007 to identify the crystal skulls in its collection. The scientists concluded that it was probably a "work of art" created in the mid-19th century. Toma Caligaro and Ivan Coggino of the research center noted that "it is impossible to determine that it is a pre-Columbian work of art because of the obvious scratches on it and the gloss that only modern tools can create."
Previously, scientists studying a crystal skull in the collection of the British Museum in London also confirmed that it was nothing more than a forgery.
In fact, scientists have long recognized the legend of the so-called "crystal skull" as a superstitious hoax. Archaeologists have discovered a mysterious and rare "bottle of death," whose history can be traced back 1,400 years to the Mayan civilization, which archaeologists say is the first "bottle of death" ever found, and may have been a psychic object used in Mayan rituals at the time. The study will allow scientists to further reveal the ancient Mayan civilization.
Archaeologists pointed out that the type of bottle is the first of its kind in today's archaeological world, which is a bottle without a stopper, belonging to the Maya Ulua style decorative bottles, whose role is the ancient Maya rituals and ancestors "psychic" vessels, in the bottom of the bottle is still left in the ritual offerings of food, cacao enema, and vomiting induced by the LSD. The mysterious bottle, named the "Death Bottle," was excavated in 2005 under a small pyramid-shaped palace in northwestern Honduras, with the skeletal remains of a human body next to the bottle. Soil analysis of the interior and exterior of the bottle showed it contained corn, cocoa beans and pollen from the artificial spitting root tree, which causes severe vomiting in humans.
Responsible for the archaeological study of the University of South Florida anthropologist Christian Wells said the mysterious bottle is the ancient Maya in the ritual use of vessels, taking the bottle of "ecstasy" will be in a trance. Ancient Maya people believe that in this state can be realized with the ancestors "psychic", through contact with the ancestors and communication can predict the future. According to records, the ancient Maya had the following ways of channeling spirits during rituals: the ritualists cut or bled their own bodies; orally ingested large quantities of concentrated cocoa enemas to produce a coma; or sucked the brains of human beings and then vomited. The resulting coma puts the taker into a hallucinatory state.
The archaeological team led by Wells believes the white marble bottle will help shed light on the mystery of the Maya Ulúa-style vases, whose true purpose is still not well understood.
While archaeologists have found some clues to the bottle's purpose, they are still baffled as to where it was unearthed. The bottle was unearthed at a small, isolated Mayan site in Honduras, excavated under a pyramid-like palace. It is topped by a single house that is beautifully detailed.
The archaeological team speculates that the Maya buried under the pyramid-like palace were historically important figures in the area, possibly Mayan ancestors who marked the end of an era of civilization. A number of artifacts were reportedly unearthed at the same time, but the most valuable was this "death bottle," which was engraved with scrolls and snake-like motifs.
In 2007, archaeologists studied cosmic observations and local rock changes and found that there was a strong drought every two centuries, which coincided with astronomers' discovery of the sun's vibrational waves. The sun is influenced by the universe and vibrational waves occur every two centuries, with hot weather many times higher than in previous years. Due to the deteriorating political situation at the time, the inability to solve the drought problem eventually led to the demise of the Mayan civilization. Of course this is just a guess by archaeologists. The Mayans were very well versed in astronomy, and it would be ironic if the civilization died out because of vibrational waves from the sun. The Mayans created an amazingly high level of civilization, but there is no definitive conclusion as to why the Mayan civilization of the Classic period suddenly disappeared. Scientists and archaeologists have put forward many hypotheses on the mystery of the annihilation of the Mayan civilization, such as foreign invasions, population explosions, infectious diseases, climate change, and peasant revolts.
In terms of the Maya's geography, the most convincing is due to the overdevelopment of civilization (part of the city had the population density of a modern city, resulting in excessive consumption of resources and environmental damage, coupled with a variety of disasters encountered, living in the fragile rainforests and the use of primitive nomadic farming techniques of the Maya people can hardly afford the huge population, and even the occurrence of a war for resources, resulting in Maya people The Mayan people were also forced to move away from their homeland.
In addition, the Maya's profound knowledge and culture were only in the hands of a very small number of aristocrats and priests, and the civilians and slaves, who made up the vast majority of the Maya population, were completely illiterate. The pampered aristocratic intelligentsia had difficulty surviving and even quickly disappeared when prosperity ran out. The Maya civilization of the Postclassic period, on the other hand, was slightly different in the Chichen-Itza period (legend has it that it was affected by the Toltec invasion), but it was more dynamic, and its successors were not able to maintain Chichen-Itza's dynamism, as evidenced by the fact that buildings were no longer being built and urban life was disappearing. By the time the Aztec empire emerged in the 14th century, the Maya were already in decline.
Ecological Crisis Theory
The Maya civilization, though urban, was built on the roots of corn agriculture. Since ancient times, Mayan farmers have used an extremely primitive "milpa" method of farming: they first cut down all the trees, dried them out for a period of time, and then set them on fire before the rainy season, using the ashes as fertilizer to cover the barren rainforest soil. Burning once to plant a crop, followed by 1-3 years of fallow, and in some places even up to 6 years, when the grass grows more lush and then burned and planted again. When the civilization flourished in the classical period and the population increased greatly, the pressure on agriculture became more and more intense, and people deforested and cleared the land more often, and at the same time shortened the fallow time as much as possible, however, in this way, the rain was more prone to wash away the fertile soil, leading to a decline in soil fertility, and the yield of corn followed more and more less and less. The Mayan civilization faced serious problems of ecological deterioration and depletion of living resources (rainfall in the tropical rainforests depended mainly on trees) after the great population growth, and the peasants, who were the main body of the population, were unable to eat, and their social conditions fell into disrepair.
To make matters worse, under the theocratic system, the Mayan kings and priests attributed all these "signs of decay" to the displeasure of the gods. They built more temples, more frequent and more solemn prayers, hoping to use the power of the gods to turn the tide. Of course, the result was a waste of more manpower and already very poor resources, until it fell into an irredeemable vicious circle. The highly developed culture of the Classic Maya began to crumble as the supply of agricultural production was severely depleted. When the barren wastelands surrounding the cities became contiguous, hunger forced the Maya to abandon them. After a century of decay and turmoil, the city-states of the Central Lowlands were lost in the tropical thicket.
Causes of the Decline
Why did the Maya decline so quickly after such a period of prosperity? The reasons for this have been widely debated and remain an unsolved mystery to this day. Although the Maya people in a very short period of time suddenly reduced, but the formation of the reasons for a long time. Factors contributing to the decline of the Maya are as follows:
Population explosion
The Maya lived in a small area, creating even smaller cities of habitation. In such a small area, the population multiplied uncontrollably, reaching millions of people at one point in their prosperity. Such a large group was a major social burden at the time. When the capacity to bear it collapsed, its leaders were bound to make certain decisions that led to massive, lightning-fast emigration, and the thriving Mayan stone-built cities became isolated almost overnight.
Insufficient food
The Maya then chose the area in which to live by neglecting the conditions for agricultural production. The land in which they lived was not fertile, not suitable for growing grains and rice, and they could only grow sweet potatoes and other by-products to satisfy their hunger, or eat papaya, bananas, oranges and other fruits. Moreover, the quantity harvested is far from enough to meet the needs of the increasing population. Failure to solve the dietary problems of tens of thousands of people over a long period of time will inevitably lead to a crisis in society. As the saying goes, "Food is the most important thing for the people", and facing years and years of food shortage will inevitably lead to social instability. In order to solve this problem at all, the decision-makers may make a new choice - to go to a new world to open up new horizons. This led to the great migration of the Maya, which caused the decline of the areas inhabited by the Maya due to the departure of the people.
Natural disasters
Central America is a place where strong earthquakes used to occur, and the region has a history of earthquakes with strong magnitudes. And parts of Central America suffer greatly from typhoons and hurricanes. The areas historically inhabited by the Maya were inevitably victimized by earthquakes and windstorms. Frequent natural disasters, for the Maya, not only formed a threat, so that the thriving Maya people have undergone a severe test. Its chiefs naturally pondered ways out of their predicament. "Poverty is change", in the case of not being able to get rid of the current predicament, it is natural to consider the road of retreat, after a sophisticated arrangement, there was a scene of the Mayan exodus.
Foreign intrusion
According to the investigation of the Maya people are very benevolent, for the earth is not in favor of the fight, that people kill is even more incomprehensible. Even the slaughter of animals is prohibited, so in the interaction with neighboring humans, always in a weak position. In the event of an invasion by a foreign enemy, the Maya would inevitably end up in defeat, and this kind of outside intrusion is always inevitable. If such intrusion occurs from time to time, the Maya people are unable to resist and cannot avoid it, which will inevitably lead to collective migration.
The spread of disease
According to evidence, when the Maya were prosperous, the area in which they lived was relatively civilized and hygienic, and the medical conditions were higher than those of the surrounding humans. However, through neighboring human infestations and exchanges, the infectious diseases that existed at that time were spread to the Mayan settlements, leading to epidemics of infectious diseases. This not only jeopardized the health of the adults, but also affected the growth of future generations. In order to avoid the spread of these diseases, their leaders decided to leave their place of residence and move to a new world to start a new life.
Scarcity of energy
It is assumed that the Maya did not have electricity as a source of energy at that time, nor could they have utilized coal or oil as a fuel, and there are no traces of wind as a source of energy or power, so it can only be assumed that they relied on the sun's heat for their livelihood. From the remaining sites, it is clear that relying only on the sun's heat as a source of energy for life was an overstretch. With the rapid increase in population, the lack of energy is an urgent problem to be solved. Energy is essential for normal life. The Maya's level of technology can not be compared with the primitive people, must be eating cooked food, drinking hot water. In such a small area, to feed tens of thousands of people, obviously energy can not meet the requirements. Over time, the lack of energy will produce the idea of "poverty is change", and its leaders may seek measures to migrate because of the severe shortage of energy.
Extragalactic decision-making
The ancestors of the Mayans were probably extraterrestrials, and the Mayans are merely the descendants of extraterrestrials. The Mayans and their extraterrestrial ancestors probably maintained close contact and regular interactions. When the Maya's dramatic population growth, food shortage, natural disasters and other causes of difficulties and conflicts, so that it can not extricate themselves, the ancestors of the alien world will make the decision of the great transfer, issued the order to move, so that the Maya with the speed of thunder and lightning, the Maya on the Earth of the space transfer, so that the vast majority of the Maya, relocated to another planet, to start their new life.
Brothers in arms
(USA) Arthur Demarest of Vanderbilt University's School of Mesoamerican Archaeology announced that the newly discovered hieroglyphics are located in Dos Pilas, Guatemala. There is an ancient pyramid there where a hurricane this summer knocked down a large tree, revealing 18 long-hidden steps. "Several hundred new hieroglyphs fill in a 60-year gap in Maya history, clarifying political and military relationships during this critical period," said Federico Fasson, another Maya researcher at Vanderbilt University.
DeMarest described many local battles in the 7th and 8th centuries. It now appears to have been a Mayan "world war" involving all the cities under the control of two major city-states.
Dos Pilas was founded in 629 AD as a military outpost of the ancient Mayan city-state of Tikal. King Tikal sent his own brother to rule here. Texts on the steps say that King Dos Pilas was in a longstanding alliance with King Tikal. But then the city-state of Calakmul came from the north - now Mexico - and conquered Dos Pilas, capturing the king and returning him to the throne as a puppet. King Dos Pilas, who had defected to Calakmul, waged a ten-year war against Tikal and won. He led an army that sacked Tikal and took the king there - his own blood brother - and other nobles to Dospiras to kill and sacrifice to the gods. Thereafter, Dos Pilas, with Calakmul as his backer, went on a warpath and became a dominant power. At this point the Mayan civilization looked to be on the verge of moving to a higher form of organization and consolidating into a single great empire. However Tikal was sacked and then came back with a vengeance, defeating Calakmul. The entire Mayan world was henceforth split into many local collectivities and entered a period of intense skirmishes and wars that eventually led to the downfall of Mayan civilization. And Dos Pilas was abandoned in 760 A.D. and never recovered. Simon Martin of the University of London and Nicolas Grube of the University of Bonn used to point out that it was the long years of fierce warfare between the two major city-states, Tikal and Calakmul, that led to the destruction of the Maya civilization, Demarest said. Now their argument has been strongly proven. (According to Beijing Morning Post, October 23, 2002)
Alien Says
Faced with the Maya's glorious ancient civilization, anyone would ask where it all came from. Historical materials show that before the birth of the Mayan brilliant civilization, the Mayans still nested in tree caves, fishing and hunting for a living, and their lives were almost primitive. Some people even doubt whether the Maya were Native Americans. Because there is no evidence of a gradual change or transition to this miraculous civilization in the jungles of Mesoamerica.
The rise and fall of the Mayan civilization is shrouded in mystery, and none of the claims has sufficient evidence to be convincing.
The American brothers Alec and Gorelick's theory of the origin of extraterrestrials is based on the Mayan "Drekkin Calendar". They believe that the Maya with such a high level of astronomy, is not to make up the rotation cycle of the unfounded "Chokin Calendar", this calendar is only the Maya used to indicate that their homeland - "Planet outside the Earth The Maya used this calendar to indicate their home planet, "the planet outside the Earth". If the "Dreikin Calendar" is true, the shape of the planet can be deduced.
The planet with a rotation period of 260 days would be located between Venus and Earth, and the planet would be very warm. Therefore, the Mayans of the Classic period chose to live in the hot rain forests of the Earth, which can confirm this view.
According to Alec and Gorelick, the "outer spacemen" left their home planets hundreds of thousands of years ago to come to Planet X for the purpose of mining. Because of the explosion on Planet X, they took refuge on Earth. The first place they lived was the warm Antarctic, but because of the onset of the Ice Age, they moved to the north and finally arrived in the dense forests of Central America.
Just as the civilizations of the olden days flourished here, the home planets supplied food and had space ships. So the Maya did not have to live in the watersheds of fertile rivers. The Maya of the civilization era refused to make contact with the primitive earthlings of the time. Even though they built highly cultured cities, they adopted a closed policy. In order to build stone urban complexes, they used various technologies that were not available at that time and utilized the indigenous people as their driving force. Most of the religious ceremonies that were considered "offerings to the gods" were in fact Terran human dissections and medical surgeries, and the scenes of these sacrifices remain in carvings and frescoes.
The reason the Maya left the Earth together in the ninth century was because the Indians of the Mexican highlands waged a war to take the Mayan civilization for themselves. So the Mayans put all their equipment and utensils on a spacecraft and flew off into outer space.
Presumably the book that proves this claim is the Popol Uf (also translated as The Origin of the Indians in the State of Guatemala), which was discovered in the early eighteenth century by the Christian priest Francis Ximenes, and which tells almost nothing about the Maya, but rather about Mayan myths. This ancient Mayan account is written in the Chigi language of the Mayan lineage. According to this book, mankind and the world were created three times and destroyed three times. On the fourth occasion, the world and mankind were created. But the ancestors of the Chigi say other peoples, completely different from the legendary ancestors.
In short, the mystery of the sudden disappearance of the Mayans, who built the world's super-civilization and were in their golden age in a tropical jungle zone where people have been obliterated, is too profound to understand. On the Yucatan Peninsula looms nine lofty pyramids, twin sisters to the earliest ones in Egypt. Similar structures have been found in Britain and France.
The astronomical orientation of the Mayan pyramids was calculated with the utmost precision: the light from Sirius passed through an airflow channel in the south wall and shot straight to the pharaoh's head in the hall above; the light from Polaris passed through an airflow channel in the north wall and shot straight into the hall below.
However, the pyramid does not match the shrine at the top of the tower, which was built at such a high level, but the shrine is quite crude, and it has been speculated that the shrine may have been added later. 100 years ago from the pyramid excavated artifacts, some of them have already been identified: it turned out to be a number of delicate lenses, storage batteries, transformers, fragments of the model of the solar system, stainless steel and other unknown alloys made of machinery and tools. alloys, machinery and tools made of stainless steel and other unknown alloys.
Accordingly, it has been speculated that the pyramids may have earlier served as a kind of Mayan ancestral supply depot, and that it was only because of the peculiar shape of the spaces inside the pyramids that kept corpses parked in certain parts of the pyramid from decaying that it is understandable that a people who longed for immortality would have placed the remains of their chieftains in a building where their supplies had run out. Unlike the pyramids of Egypt, the pyramids on the Yucatan Peninsula were more like altars, functioning as more than just tombs for kings or chieftains.
The Pyramid of the Sun (Spanish: Pirámide del Sol), the largest of the ruins of Teotihuacan, Mexico, and one of the largest in Mesoamerica, is situated on the eastern side of the middle section of the "Path of the Dead", and is also located between the Pyramid of the Moon and the Pyramid of the Ciudad del Sol. It is also located between the Pyramid of the Moon and the small pyramid known as "The Ciudadela", near Cerro Gordo, and is part of a huge complex at the heart of the ruins of Teotihuacan.
The orientation of the pyramids may be of anthropological importance. The Pyramid of the Sun is slightly to the northwest of the horizontal point of sunset for the two days of April 29 and August 12, when the Teotihuacan people divined the calendar year.The day of August 12 is significant, marking the beginning of the Maya's long cumulative calendar. In addition to this, many important astronomical events could be observed at the site of the pyramid, and this information was of considerable importance to the agricultural and religious systems of the ancient society. The Maya civilization was a civilization of the Central and South American region, and contrary to legend, the Maya never disappeared, and there are still three million modern-day Maya living in the Yucatan Peninsula area, many of whom still speak the Mayan language family. The Maya never had a unified powerful kingdom, the entire Maya region is divided into hundreds of city states, Maya states in the language and writing, religious beliefs, customs and traditions, but belong to the same cultural circle.
