Chapter 1858 Another ancient city? Ask for a monthly pass

As a leader in the field of ancient civilization research in Central America, Dick Gill is naturally familiar to his peers.

When he appeared at the archaeological excavation site, several experts in the pit immediately smiled and said hello.

"Dick, welcome home~" said an expert with a stained face, exposing his big white teeth.

Dick looked into the pit, and the round stones were embedded in the soil, while experts and assistants were carefully taking out the stones one by one.

He pointed to the location of a stepped structure in the pit and asked, "Is this a sacrificial platform?"

"It should be ~"

"Well~ you guys continue to study, I'll go to the newly discovered ruins~"

"Then you have to continue walking north for a few kilometers. The road is not yet open, so be careful~"

In the tropical rainforest, in addition to facing the stuffy climate, we also need to beware of poisonous snakes and venomous insects that come out from time to time. This is the biggest threat in the tropical rainforest. On the contrary, large wild beasts that can be caught by sight should be safer. Of course, there is not much difference, just one dies faster and the other dies slowly.

To be honest, hiking in the rainforest is no more comfortable than in the desert. One is dry and hot, the other is wet and hot. The former is sweating wildly, while the latter is sweating, which is like being in a giant steamer, making people feel uncomfortable to breathe.

"Boss, is it okay?" Hansen turned around and cared.

Yang Cheng felt that his lungs were not enough, so he took a few breaths and shook his head, "It's okay, is it coming soon?"

Hansen glanced forward, "It's probably two-thirds more~"

Yang Cheng felt his legs weak and said with a wry smile, "We have only left one third?"

Hansen held Yang Cheng and said, "It's almost done. In fact, you have good physical fitness. But the first time you went deep into the rainforest, I was not used to it. When we were training in the Amazon rainforest, there were many soldiers with strong qualities at the beginning, but they just need to adapt."

Yang Cheng nodded helplessly, "I understand, let's go, I'm fine~"

He saw the old man Dick Gill walking like a flying man, thinking that he could not let Yi Wanwen compare.

"Drink a little water before leaving~" Hansen opened the lid of the kettle and handed it over, and waited for Dick Gill and the others to walk away before whispering, "I feel this place is a bit weird~"

Yang Cheng didn't think much about it, mainly because he was so hot that he stopped talking.

"Why is it weird?"

Hansen turned 360 degrees in place and shook his head, "I can't say it, maybe I'm thinking too much~"

Yang Cheng nodded, "I feel dizzy when I feel hot, normal, so do I, let's go~"

Following the large army and continuing to head deep into the rain forest. Before setting off, Yang Cheng specially changed into an outdoor outfit and wore expensive quick-drying clothes. But even so, in this rain forest, the clothes could never be dry, and they were wet against the skin, which was so uncomfortable.

But you can't take off your clothes, otherwise those invisible poisonous mosquitoes and insects will teach you how to be a human being.

The guide walked in front to lead the way, followed by an extremely excited Dick Gill. This man was like taking stimulants, and walked with great briskness. It seemed that the rainforest he was in was different from the rainforest where Yang Cheng was in.

Finally, when Yang Cheng's consciousness began to become blurred, the guide turned his head and announced, "Everyone insisted, it will be here soon, at most dozens of meters~"

When Yang Cheng heard this, he cheered up and drooled heavily, wiped the sweat from his face, and insisted on walking the last few dozen meters and walking out of the woods. This was a huge deep pit, with a large number of low houses scattered in groups.

Some of them are exposed outside, which should be a small pyramid.

However, the houses and pyramids should not be on the same plane. They are buried deep and shallow, which is similar to the Mayan ruins seen in Tikal.

The leading guide saw the small half of the pyramid and instinctively knelt down and muttered something. He knew what he was saying, but nothing more than words like the ancestors he admired.

If this is a small Mayan city-state ruin similar to Tikal, then it can be imagined that what is buried below should be a group-like house. Each group of houses in the community is about 100 meters apart, and each community can be considered a residential area for several related families.

This distance is always maintained between residences, probably to keep it private and to leave room for the courtyard garden in front of the door.

However, if nothing unexpected happens, houses with distances of this kind should be the aristocratic mansion in the city-state at that time.

It is characterized by a small pyramid built on the formal square, and the buildings considered to be noble houses so far are not like particularly large house platforms, but relatively low long abutments.

The pyramids and long buildings at some locations include vaulted stone wall structures, indicating that professional stonemasons are used.

Usually, this kind of aristocratic residential area is located in a large residential area of ​​the main ruins, so there may be a city-state ruin similar to Tikal below.

And that pyramid should belong to this small aristocratic residential area. These aristocrats have their own places to worship, similar to private ancestral halls.

Usually there is a main square near the pyramid, which requires archaeologists to dig a little bit.

To date, two major cities built by the Mayans have been discovered, one is the Mexican Stone City, the largest abandoned city in the Mayan civilization, consisting of temples and courtyards.

It also contains a huge "people sacrifice court" located at one end of the city.

"Man Sacrifice Game" is a very special game. Both teams need to try to kick the ball over the iron rings at both ends of the field. After that, the captain of the winning team will be beheaded as a sacrifice to God.

Although the city has been destroyed by time and raiders in history, there are still many beautiful stone statues left.

Next is Tikal, the city was discovered about 300 years ago, but it was not until decades ago that it was excavated and opened to the public.

Tikal is built on a hill surrounded by swamps, consisting of nine groups of buildings and a large square, connected by bridges and causeways, covering an area of ​​about 2.6 square kilometers.

If there is really another large city under the deep pit in front of you, it will undoubtedly have a positive effect on human exploration of the mysterious Mayan civilization. This is why Dick Gill is so excited.

Yang Cheng stood by the pit, squatted down and looked at the stone house under the pit thoughtfully, and couldn't help but remember Hansen's previous words.

He waved to him and asked softly, "Hansen, why did you say that what you said was weird here?"
