Chapter 249: The inheritance slate, the same myth!
Silent footsteps echoed in the ancient stone castle. They passed through the long stone steps, pushed open the dusty stone door, entered the wide stone hall, and reached the weathered stone slabs.
Shulot stopped. He looked at the time-honored stone slabs, wooden murals, and various gold, silver, and jade cultural relics in the palace, and said solemnly sideways.
"Sage Jatiri, we are here. This is the place where the classics are stored in the palace."
Jatiri nodded solemnly. He took two steps forward excitedly, stretched out his hand tremblingly, and carefully touched these precious ancient inheritances, just like touching fragile and delicate pottery.
"The river turtles live under the pines and cypresses in the water. The river turtles are getting older, but the sacred trees are getting taller...Since I received the inheritance at the age of twenty-four, I have spent a full thirty-six years with them! Wang
That night when they all fell, I fled the palace in a hurry, thinking I would never see them again..."
The knowledgeable elder rarely lost his composure, showing his emotional ups and downs. He examined it carefully for a while, then turned around, saluted His Highness with a wry smile and apologized.
"Your Highness, I made you laugh..."
Shulot shook his head slightly and returned the salute seriously.
"Seeing this scene, I can only stand in awe of you."
The two of them saluted each other, then looked at each other and smiled. Then, Jatiri straightened his expression. With a calm smile, he led Shulot to the oldest stone slab.
"Your Highness, please let us start from here! You must have heard of the legend of the Five Sun Era. The world was born from nothingness, and the gods became the supreme sun in turn. The world was destroyed in the hands of the gods, the sun fell, and life withered.
.After all these reincarnations, today is already the fifth solar era. This initial stone tablet talks about the past four eras."
Shulot looked at the huge stone slab. Four crude paintings were carved on it with simple brushstrokes. In the center of each panel was a radiating sun.
"Your Highness, the sun is located in the center of the stone slab and is the object of common reverence from all the people in the world. If you want to unite all the people of the world into one, which will never be easy, you need to start with the myth of the sun and tell a complete and credible story."
Hearing this, Shulot looked serious and nodded slowly.
"Things will never be easy for all peoples in the world... The sage knows my heart! The great things I want to do are in a feudal country, and only you, the sage, can help me!"
The myth of the era of the five suns has been circulating all over the world for a long time, even among the Mayan tribes in the far east. However, different tribes have different mythological expressions. For the tribes in the world who are very different, this common myth origin may be
It is rare for departments to reach consensus.
In the heart of the young king, he has always had the lofty ambition of the First Emperor. Not only did he want to shape a vast empire with his own hands and promote the changes of the times, but he also wanted to knead all the barbaric parts of the world together and shape them into an indivisible national whole. This
The vast process is just like the different Koreans, Zhao people, Wei people, Chu people, Yan people, Qi people, and Qin people during the Warring States Period, who finally merged into the Han people.
In order to achieve this grand goal, Shulot has enough ambition, enough patience, and enough time. All tribes in the world have similar looks and inter-marriage each other. All ethnic groups have been barbaric for a long time, grammar has not been established, and the concept of nation has not emerged.
Even writing is still in its infancy. This is the last and best opportunity for integration to build a truly unified nation on this vast, isolated continent!
If we want to lay the foundation for a great unification, in addition to writing the same text, rolling cars on the same track, unifying religion, and having the same laws, we must also weave a bond of connection starting from the source of culture.
The ties between the Xia are the descendants of Yan and Huang, the descendants of the dragon, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, and the Zhou Rites and Historians. And all the tribes in the world conquered by the Mexica Alliance also need a tall sacred tree with connected roots, a myth and legend with a common origin, to form a strong
Cultural ties. This legend must be inclusive enough, believable enough, and be accepted by various ministries. It must also be consistent with known history to the greatest extent and withstand the scrutiny of future generations.
It was with this vision in mind that the young king searched repeatedly in Qincongcan City and invited the knowledgeable elders of the Prepecha people to come and tell the epic of the people of the lake. After some exploration in the main hall,
Both parties are interested in each other and have a tacit understanding.
Shulot looked at the knowledgeable elder's calm smile, then looked at the stone slab carefully again, comparing the differences between the Aztec sun myth and the Prepecha sun myth.
Aztec mythology is inherited from the Toltecs. Each era has different symbols to symbolize civilization and different gods as the sun.
The first four eras are: the first era, which is the era of the four jaguars, and the representative god is Tezcatlipo, the original sun god. The second era, the era of the four winds, is the Quetzalcoatl god Quetzalcoatl.
.The third age, the age of the four rains, the rain god Tlaloc. The fourth age, the age of the four waters, the goddess of rivers and lakes, Chalchihetlicui.
On the inheritance slate of the Prepecha people, in the first era, there is a jaguar, accompanied by a human holding a torch and a spear; in the second era, there is a sweeping wind, with a weeping rubber tree in the wind;
The third era is the mighty rain, and in the rain are towering pyramids; the fourth era is the spreading flood, and in the flood are canoes traveling among the islands.
Around these panel paintings, there are many complicated graphics and texts engraved, vaguely including the sun, moon, statues, masks, gold and jade, pottery, corn, turkeys, spears, shields, flames... and the dead.
Shulot looked at it carefully for a long time, but other than identifying the common jaguar, wind, rain, and water, he didn't gain much. He turned his head and sincerely asked Jatiri for advice.
"I also ask the sage to interpret it and tell me the true meaning."
Jatiri looked at the ancient panel paintings and smiled leisurely.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Your Highness, the inheritance slate only has pictures, and the imagery is vague. The explanation is based on one intention, and it all depends on the current situation. Once you have mastered the inheritance, the priests and sages have mastered it.
The right to speak. Most of the tribes in the world are like this... Since Your Highness is asking me today, I would like to tell you the truth about the tribal inheritance, which is passed down by word of mouth and not externally. "
"For the past four epochs, various tribes in the world have different explanations and different lengths of time. In these epochs, behind the gods and symbols, there are actually the lost ancestral country and the dusty ancient civilization. The more the epoch,
Going forward, the mural epics in each department became more abstract and vague, and the symbols had more in common. It is difficult to verify the ancient times, so the common points in the epics can be used as evidence that the various parts have the same origin and unity."
The knowledgeable elder said these difficult words with deep meaning. Then he stretched out his skinny palm and touched the graphics on the four eras.
"The first solar era was the process of the ancestors emerging from the jungle. They lit fires, made stone weapons, drove and tamed wild beasts, established settlements, and became kings of the jungle like jaguars. The specific process
, no one knows now, and the place where the ancestors originated is also elusive. The first era is like the original sun god Tezcatlipo in the Mexica mythology. It is the impermanence of the world, and it is also the wind of the night, elusive.
Know.”
Shulot pondered for a long time. He looked towards the far northwest, toward the end of the world. After a moment, he solemnly nodded.
"What the sages say is true. The first era is intangible and has no history to test. It also includes all peoples."
Jati smiled. He moved his palms and rested on the rubber tree in the wind.
"The second solar era is the earliest ancestor that each tribe can trace, the Olmecs. Or means rubber, Mec is the ethnic group, and the Olmecs are the ethnic group of rubber people. Their era, dating back to today
It has been two thousand years. The Olmecs are located in the middle of the world. They were the first to discover and use rubber, the first to build magnificent step pyramids, the first to build tall megalithic palaces, the first to carve sacred sacrificial jades, and also
The first to worship the Jaguar and Quetzalcoatl.”
"At that time, there may have been many barbaric tribes, many small settlements, and many loose forces. But the most civilized and famous ones were the Olmecs. Today, all tribes in the world are related to the Olmecs.
People have their origins. The god of the Second Age is Quetzalcoatl, the Quetzalcoatl god. Every place where the Quetzalcoatl belief exists has been influenced by the Olmecs.
Whether it is the Teotihuacans on the plateau, the ancient Zapotecs in the jungle, or the Mayans in the far east, they all more or less originated from the Olmec civilization and received the Second Age
of brilliance!”
"Two thousand years ago, it was the era of ancient Greece and the Western and Eastern Zhou dynasties... the rubber civilization, a race that used rubber."
Shulot thought deeply and murmured. His grandfather once told him the story of the Olmecs. The Totonac people on the Eastern Seaside occupy the ruins of the Olmec civilization and were also present at Avit's coronation ceremony.
An ancient mask given to the Olmecs.
"The Olmecs are the ancient Greek city-states with splendid culture in Central America, or the Luoyi where the patriarchal system was spread. They are the descendants of the Zhou Dynasty, the descendants of the Yan and Huang... the descendants of the Jiao people..."
The young king thought for a moment, and his eyes became brighter. He looked at Jatiri, and the knowledgeable elder also gave a meaningful smile.
"Your Highness, from the Great Lakes in the west, to the Maya in the east, to the rainforest in the south, and to the plateau in the north, all the people in the world originate from Jiaoren. This is the first taproot that unites all peoples!"
Jatiri said in a deep voice, with the pleasure of determining the future of eternity in his words. Then, he continued to move his finger and pointed at the pyramid of the third era.
"The Second Age is the origin of each tribe. All tribes in the world are originally one. However, at the end of the era, after the fall of the Olmec country, they scattered everywhere and formed different branches. The similar but different pyramids in various parts of the world are the various pyramids.
Witness of the branch’s development!”
"In the legends of various ethnic groups, differences began to exist in the third era. A thousand years ago, the Mayans in the far east built the Feathered Serpent Pyramid of Tikal; the Teotihuacans on the northern plateau,
They built the Pyramid of the Sun and the Moon; the ancient Zapotecs in the southern jungle built the Pyramid of Mount Alban; and the Loma Alta people in the western lake built the Pyramid by the Lake. These stacked pyramids with the same origin are
Gather the second root system of all peoples!”
Hearing this, the young king's pupils suddenly shrank. He came from the Pyramids of the Sun and Moon, and was always in awe of these ancient ruins. In this era, both civilians and nobles alike awe and worship these ancient majestic wonders, and
In the shocking spectacle, their spiritual destination is entrusted.
"A very good statement! Same ancestor, different branches...The pyramid is a witness, uniting all people..."
Shulot thought for a long time and nodded solemnly. The third era was a thousand years ago, about the period of Rome and the Han Dynasty, and also the era of the spread of Hellenism and Sinicization... Then, he was slightly confused and looked at the knowledgeable elder.
"Ancient Zapotec? Loma Alta?"
"The ancient Zapotecs are the ancestors of the Mixtecs and Zapotecs. Their location is approximately in the central valley of Oaxaca in the far east. Mount Alban is the green mountain."
"As for the Loma Alta people..."
Jatiri smiled deeply again.
"They are actually the ancestors of the Prepecha people. They settled on the south side of Lake Quetseo and in the north of the Patzcuaro Lake area. Your Highness's legion must have passed there when they went south. Many of the fortresses by the lake are
It’s an ancient pyramid reconstruction.”
Shulot clasped his hands behind his back, paced, and pondered.
"In this way, all tribes in the world can be attributed to different branches of civilization. The Teotihuacan people worship the rain god Tlaloc, which is indeed consistent with the gods of the Third Age in Mexica mythology. Then
The northern tribes, the Mexica, the Otomi, the Tlaxcala, the Huastec... all belong to the Teotihuacan lineage..."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Hearing this, Jatiri smiled softly. Shulot's face turned red. Since the other party was a knowledgeable elder, a Mexica and a Tlaxcala
It was impossible to hide the source. He continued to speak calmly.
"The western tribes, Tecos, Trapanic, Prepecha... all belong to the Loma Alta lineage. The southern tribes, Mixtec, Zapotec... Guzabo
Let the Turks, the central Totonacs, continue to be the direct descendants of the Olmecs."
The knowledgeable elder nodded and answered with a smile.
"In this way, the world has the same origin and people, and then it is divided into four branches: east, south, west and north. Although the customs are different, all the people are essentially one!"
Hearing this, Shulot nodded first and then shook his head.
"No, the world has the same ancestor, and then divided into seven branches. There is another group in the far north of the white disaster, living a life of migration; one group is driving a canoe back and forth on the island of the Great Lake in the East; and finally
One branch passed through the jungles of the far south and established the kingdom of gold."
"The White Plague of the Far North...Your Highness, are you talking about the tribes of the Dogs?"
Hearing this, Shulot smiled and said nothing, and Jatiri continued to speculate.
"Integrating the Dog-born is both difficult and easy. They have no culture, advocate force, and are elusive and hard to find. Only by completely defeating them and occupying the water sources and cultivated land in the northern desert can the Dog-born be brought under your command. And once they are conquered,
, it’s quite quick to assimilate.”
"The canoe of the Great Lakes of the East... Your Highness is talking about the Taino people, the island people who eat cassava? The Taino people are wild and weak, and they are rich in tobacco. The great lake is unstable, and trying to find their islands is also a problem.
Not an easy thing.”
"As for the jungles in the far south, south of the Maya are mountains and forests rich in emeralds. Where is the golden country that His Highness mentioned?"
The young king smiled and didn't answer anything. He just looked at the fourth stone slab and asked softly.
"Sage, is this fourth era civilization the continuation of the branches of the third era?"
"Your Highness, we can tell it like this, and all the people will be willing to believe it."
Jatiri's wrinkles stretched out in her smile, like a trembling fox.
"Actually, the Fourth Age is only a few hundred years old, and the records in various pictures are quite clear. It was an era of erratic rains, sometimes floods, sometimes droughts. It was also a turbulent era when northerners moved south. Many theories have been
The dog descendants of the Wa language moved south one after another and poured into the Mexica Plateau. They violently collided with the native ethnic groups and then quickly merged with each other to form new alliances and kingdoms!"
"The canine descendants migrated south, and the Nahua-speaking tribes..."
Shulot's eyes moved slightly. The Fourth Era was around the Five Dynasties and Song Dynasties, which was accompanied by the cooling of the global climate and the abnormality of the celestial climate. This was the era when nomadic peoples were heading south in an all-round way, and it was also the era when the Vikings were invading southward in large quantities.
An era when Chichimec descendants continued to migrate south.
All the tribes that speak Nahua in the world are actually descendants of dogs who have migrated southward for hundreds of years and merged with the local native ethnic groups. The Tepanec people, the former overlords of the Mexica Valley, were the source of the Balsas River.
The Tlaxcala people, the Totonac people on the eastern coast, and even the Prepecha people in the land of the lake are all Nahua-speaking tribes. The Mexica people are the last group to move south to
The Nahua tribe of the Mexica Plateau. The Nahua tribes have similar languages and similar appearances. They are actually brothers by blood, and their ethnic groups have always been good at fighting.
Correspondingly, the Otomi, Huastec, Mixtec, Zapotec... use another similar language and inherit more heritage of ancient civilization. Of course
, with the endless wars and exchanges between various ministries, the languages of each ministry are also penetrating each other.
"Your Highness, the fourth era is an era full of turmoil, and the symbolic god is the god of rivers and lakes. Unpredictable precipitation, disordered agriculture, and the canine descendants migrating south have had a severe impact on the north of the world. All ministries are working hard
Continuous wars and migrations. If the canine descendants are also included in the same branch, then the fourth era is the era of reintegration of all peoples! And the integration of all peoples is destined to be completed by the hands of His Highness in the current fifth era.
!”
"All peoples have the same origin. They have experienced separation and development, and then moved towards mutual integration, until they reunited as one clan and were unified under the root system of the same sacred tree! The story is perfectly self-consistent and destined to be inspired by the gods. This is the destiny of the five eras.
A myth and legend that can truly dominate the world, connect all people, and unify all tribes!"
Speaking of this, a hint of excitement appeared on Jatiri's old face. He stared at Xilot with scorching eyes, and the young king also stared at him firmly. Both of them had huge flames burning in their eyes.
Throughout the whole world for hundreds of years!
The knowledgeable elder looked at it for a long time before calming down and spoke solemnly again.
"Your Highness, the Fourth Age left behind many accurate epics. In the Mexica Valley, the Toltec kingdom rose and fell, and was finally passed on to the Mexica through the hands of the Tepanec.
And in the land of the lake, there are two Kingdoms of Urishi before and after them. They perished, revived, and perished again during the southward migration of the canine descendants, and then the Kingdom of Tarasco was established and prospered!"
"The reason why these once powerful kingdoms perished was not only due to the impact of the canine descendants going south, but also internal reasons. And the crucial factor is right here!"
With that said, Jatiri took a few steps in stride. He stretched out his hand forcefully and pressed hard on the second adjacent stone slab.
