Reborn with Naruto In Tokyo, Japan

"This is the area where the Mayans once lived. Although the civilization is backward, the remaining divinity is really intoxicating, brutal and bloody, and the most primitive power."

Something seemed to be shaking under Zorgen's clothes.

"It seems that you are familiar with this place?"

Poor Takahashi had no interest in these ancient buildings. In the eyes of the ancient Americans at that time, Copan city-states, Mayan city-states, Aztecs, Inca, etc. were all very different, just like the clear distinctions between several countries in East Asia. , but from today's poor Takahashi it seems that all the ancient American civilizations are the same.

"I'm not very familiar with it, but since I want to get what I want from here, I will inevitably have to work hard." Zorgen walked ahead, and Takahashi followed obliquely behind, "From these civilizations that have disappeared On the corpse, there are many extraordinary things that we can use, and sooner or later you will understand this truth."

Compared with the Mayan ruins such as Tikal and Chichen Itza, there are not so many tourists in Copan. The security level of the entire country in Honduras hinders the development of tourism, and the entire Copan ruins are not as good as other ruins. It is small, and you can walk through all the facilities in the site in a few hours. Whether it is summer or winter, the whole of Copan is shrouded in heat.

"quack!"

The huge macaw flew in front of Zorgen, and the colorful macaw seemed to fly out of the painting. It is hard to imagine such brightly colored creatures in nature.

Like human beings, there are not only Mu Qiang but also Mu Mei and Mu Shuai in the animal kingdom.

The colorful macaws are only for courtship. The brighter the color, the more favored it is by the opposite sex and the same sex. In most cases, the bright feathers also represent the health and strength of the body.

"It's the macaw, a bird native to Central America. These little guys are a symbol of divinity in Mayan mythology. The main bird god worshiped in many Mayan city-states is the macaw."

"Hmm." Although he is the existence in the myth, Takahashi is pitiful and doesn't care about this aspect.

Worshiping parrots, crows and peacocks are just dreams of ignorant human beings.

Zorgen walked across the field and introduced the Mayan mythology to Takahashi in the island language: "In the mythology of the Maya, the world was in chaos at the beginning. In chaos, there are only four creation gods——Xpiyacoc, Xmucane, who are married together, and Tepew and Feathered Serpent God... You always know Feathered Serpent God, right? For husband and wife gods, you can understand them as Fuxi and Nuwa in East Asian mythology .”

"These four creator gods created the four directions of the world, east, west, north, south, and together they separated the sky and the earth to create mountains, rivers and forests, and then created various animals."

"But animals don't have wisdom and can't understand the meaning of the creator gods, so the husband and wife gods made people out of clay in their own image, but the first generation of clay people melted in water and were too fragile."

"Then they created the second generation of humans out of wood, but because the second generation was made of wood, they didn't have a heart. Over time, they forgot to be grateful to the Creator God, so the couple gods submerged the wooden people with a great flood."

"Some of the surviving wooden people turned into monkeys. This is how the ancient people in the Americas understood where monkeys, which are very similar to humans, came from. This is at least a little more advanced than the "Bible". Monkeys were forgotten in the "Bible" .”

"In the blasphemous age of the wooden men of the second generation of humans, a macaw with divine power quickly swelled up and proclaimed himself the greatest sun."

"Its beak can emit sunlight, and the sunlight shines on the moon to make the moon shine at night, and the sun parrot has two sons, one is the crocodile god 'Zpana' who makes mountains, and the other is 'Kaba who makes earthquakes. Raka', the three monsters created chaos in the world and destroyed the order of the world."

The Yucatan Peninsula, where the Mayan civilization is distributed, has towering mountains and frequent earthquakes. The ancient people used various images and brain supplements from the surrounding life to perfect their simple worldview.

"And what happened to the sun parrot?"

The two had walked through the bloody stadium unknowingly. During the millennium of the Copan city-state, it is unknown how many people were directly beheaded and sacrificed after playing football.

On the side of the stadium is a small pyramid-shaped stone building. In order to protect this building, the competent department covered it with a canvas shed at the central axis of the main body of the building. The long canvas shed is 20 to 30 meters long. , the covered parts are stepped from a distance.

"Later, the grandsons of the husband and wife gods, the twin sons of the corn god, shot and killed the sun parrot, and the earth finally returned to peace."

The two walked around the stairs, and they could clearly see the spectacular scene under the cover of the plastic shed.

More than 60 steps go up one by one, as if they are going to lead to the distant sky, but what is spectacular is not the height of the steps, but the bricks of these steps.

Each brick is engraved with mysterious reliefs, which look like pictures, but also faintly carry the meaning of a writing system.

"This is called the Stairway of Sacred Characters. Every brick and stone picture is actually a pictographic character. A brick and stone may only record a few words, or it may record a complete story. I don't know how many years ago, how much manpower was spent , the Copan Maya carved more than 2,000 hieroglyphic reliefs to form this sacred text ladder."

"Even after the demise of the Copan people in the past thousand years, the history and mythology of Copan can still rely on the sacred text ladder."

"However, it is a pity that many of the relief bricks and stones of the sacred text ladder we see now are not the original version, and the order has been disrupted."

A brick with similar appearance and texture suddenly appeared in Zorgen's hand. The bat image that Copan commonly sees was engraved on the brick, and it was the reward he got from the head of the group.

The side of the bat in relief is exaggerated and terrifying, and the protruding nose leaf is carved into the shape of an obsidian knife. This special bat is widely distributed in the American jungle.

"Do you know what the bat symbolizes in Mayan mythology?"

"Ominous, death?" Takahashi said subconsciously pitifully. In mythology around the world, bats should be a symbol of bad luck.

"Yes, according to legend, it was the bat that cut off the head of the elder brother of the hero twins in the Hell of Xibalba..."

As he spoke, Zorgen inlaid the relief of the bat into a small defect in the steps.

"Heavenly world, human world, and underground world, these are the mythological concepts of the Mayans, and the secret of rebirth is hidden in the underground world called Xibalba."

The bat brick was embedded, and the sacred text ladder suddenly shook.

"The bat cuts off the head, and the maize god is reborn in the lizard's mouth."

"Roar!"

The roar of monsters came from under the flat surface of the Copan ruins.
