Chapter 975: The inheritance of the ancient saints, the Olmec Holy City
The night is getting dusk and the moonlight is faint. Clusters of bonfires are lit on the coast. The aroma of cooking food is diffused between the tidal flats and hills. The black wolf's royal flag stands on the hills, like some kind of solemn sign.
The will has never moved at all. But at this moment, there is a bonfire on the hill at night, and there is a lot of grain incense floating in front of the fluttering flag.
Shulot crossed his legs and sat in front of the fire, eating soft baked corn tortillas while chatting with the generals next to him. After racking his brains to think, General Pap finally spoke. He was vague.
, the clouds, mountains and mist complimented the land for a while, and then they started talking about the topography of the seaside land.
"Your Highness! Thousands of miles of seaside and jungle land, there are four inland waterways that we can rely on. From west to east, the main ones are the Adobe River in Jinwan City, the Baiqiu River in the east of Coyote City, and the Hidden Snake River in Hidden Snake City.
, and the Sunrise River in Sunrise Village…”
"Among them, the adobe river connects four large city-states. Its specific river course is the estuary of Jinwan City-Zuiwu City-Hatori City-Tuhe City-the Mixtec Plateau Valley in the upper reaches. This river
All along the lower reaches of the river are firmly in the hands of the kingdom, and it can be regarded as the heartland of the new coastal alliance!..."
"Then, the Baiqiu River meanders through its downstream tributaries and connects three large city-states. The mouth of Baisha Village - Carved Stone City - Coyote City - Rabbit Hill City - the Zapotec Oaxaca Valley in the upper reaches
. Its tributaries pass through Zapotes, the third ancient Olmec city. And the lower reaches of this river are basically all taken by the kingdom. As for the jungle tribes in the upper reaches, most of them are intimidated by the power of the kingdom..."
"Further east, the Hidden Snake River connects two large city-states, and even connects a large lake that is boundless from north to south! The entrance to the sea of Hidden Snake City - the ruins of the first ancient Olmec city - the Grass Mandala - the jungle tribes in the upper reaches -
The Zapotec coastal tribes further upstream. The grass mandala in the middle and lower reaches of this big river has been captured by the kingdom, and the sacred sacrificial place at the ruins of the first ancient city is also under the control of the kingdom!…”
"Further east, the Sunrise River and the Red River in Honghu Town connect to the upper reaches of the river system and connect the Shanlinsoke tribes. Along the way of this river is the entrance of the Sunrise River/the entrance of Honghu Town-Orr
The ruins of La Venta, the second ancient city of Mek/Ruins of Sky City-Pingshui City-Yuanshui City…”
"As for the fourth ancient Olmec city, the hill city, it is connected to Lake Sacrifice City by waterways. These two city-states on the west side of the great sacred mountain are not connected to the large water system. Their locations are relatively isolated, and they are both under the control of the kingdom.
Down…"
Admiral Pap stretched out his fingers and, by the light of the fire, drew the rough directions of the four water systems on the mud in front of the bonfire, and also marked the locations of the four ancient Olmec cities. As a senior priest, he indeed inherited the oldest
The knowledge of priests. The most valuable of this knowledge is the mountains, hydrology and geography that are most valuable for the army to conquer.
"Your Highness! If the kingdom wants to rebuild the Olmec holy city, it should choose one of the four ancient Olmec city ruins to rebuild. In the eyes of the coastal tribes, the mountain forest tribes, and even the Mayan tribes, there is no dispute that among them
, the oldest and sacred ancestral holy city, naturally only the oldest and first ancient city, the first powerful Jiaoren city-state...that is one hundred and sixty miles southwest of Hidden Snake City and forty miles north of Grass Mandala City, Orr
The first ancient city of Mek!…”
Speaking of the ruins of this ancient and sacred city-state, General Pappu couldn't help but feel excited. With an excited expression, he recited a long-standing sacrificial poem, praising it from the bottom of his heart.
"Ah! Praise the ancient gods, that is the dawn of the first era! Thousands of years ago, the gods came out of the jungle and stopped there for the first time! ... On the fertile soil beside the river, the gods illuminated
The sun passed on the divinity of the sky and the stars to the ancient saints, and built the first sacred ancient city... And those dozens of tall stone sculptures of gods are the faces of the gods and ancient saints, which have been preserved for thousands of years.
The collection of divine inheritance has been passed down to this day..."
"Thousands of years ago?"
Hearing such rhetoric, Shulot raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise.
"Pap, do you know how long this first ancient Olmec city has been inherited?"
"Uh... Your Highness, let me do the math. This ancient city also has a long dating stone tablet, which is a series of the oldest dating numbers. In fact, the ancestors of the Mayans also originated from the first ancient city. And their long dating
The stone tablet is the testimony of this inheritance..."
General Papu lowered his head, drew dots and horizontal lines in the mud, and calculated the long era calendar in decimal 20. This kind of calendar calculation is not easy, as the Mayan states, coastal tribes, and jungle tribes changed
The story of fighting has gradually begun to be lost. After a while, General Papu came up with a definite answer. In front of the generals and warriors, he suddenly looked happy and shouted with confidence.
"The Lord God bless you! God bless Your Highness! The establishment of this first ancient city has taken 7 years of Berk (Bak\u0027tun), 4 years of Kadun (Ka\u0027tun) and 12 years of Tun (Tun) so far.
)!...Among them, 7, 4, and 12 are all auspicious numbers, and 7, 5, and 0 are very auspicious! From auspiciousness to great auspiciousness, it is in these eight years... In other words, this is the blessing of the Lord God! In eight years
Within, the oldest Olmec city will be reborn in the hands of His Highness!…”
"Huh? Eight years, from good luck to bad luck?..."
Seeing Papu's familiar operation, Shulot's eyes flashed for a while without comment. He silently calculated that one berk year is 400 years, one card shield year is 20 years, and one shield year is one year. 7 berk years.
The sum of gram 4 ka shield and 12 shield years is 2892 years ago, and now it is 1491... In other words, according to Papu's priestly inheritance, this ancient first ancient city was first established in 1402 BC, exactly
A true ancient city in the early Shang Dynasty of China!
In fact, the current first ancient city ruins were called San Lorenzo Tenochtitlán in later generations. It was indeed established in the 14th century BC, during the Shang Dynasty of China. This is
An extremely large-scale site, similar to Dayi or Yin Ruins, was the political, economic, religious and cultural center of the ancient Olmec era. It is also the oldest large city-state excavated in Mesoamerica in later generations!
Therefore, the establishment of this first ancient city is the true beginning of the Olmec civilization and the first flame of civilization in all parts of Mesoamerica! It is better than the Maya civilization in the central jungle and the Teotihuacan civilization on the plateau.
, has been around for more than a thousand years, and is well deserved to be the cultural ancestor of all Central and American states!
As for the so-called auspiciousness, eight years later, in the year 7 Berk and 5 Kadun, that is exactly 2900... Of course, for the priests of various tribes, whether it is auspicious or unlucky usually depends on the divination or ritual person...
"Witness the Lord God! The first ancient city in the Olmec era was established nearly three thousand years ago. It is the common ancestral land of all tribes. It is indeed the most suitable Olmec holy city!"
After some detailed thinking, Shulot finally made the final decision and chose this oldest ancient city as the reconstructed Olmec holy city, as the sacred ancestral land of the same origin for all tribes, to unify the hearts of all tribes!
"Blessed by the Lord God! After nearly three thousand years of silence, the first ancient Olmec city is destined to flourish again under the rule of the kingdom as the 'ancestral land of the holy city'!"
Under the bright moon and the stars, Shulot stood up, raised the magic staff in his hand, and announced loudly to the generals. And in the witness of the sacred mountain, the generals also bowed their heads and responded in unison.
"Praise the Lord God! God bless the Holy City and the ancestral land! God bless the Alliance, the Kingdom and Your Highness!..."
At this moment, the ancestral land of the world, the origin of all tribes, was appointed by the king on the hill at the foot of the Holy Mountain! Shulot's eyes were shining, as if flashing with the divine look. Then he looked down and lowered his head.
General Papu, who did not dare to look directly at him, asked solemnly.
"Pap, what is the name of this first ancient city in the legend of the seaside myth?"
"Uh... Your Highness! This ancient city is the place where the gods live and where the saints stand. In the ancient inheritance board, it has only two specific symbols. One is the 'original ancient city'.
The other is the 'Holy City of the Ancestors'! And in various sacrificial epics, a lot of space is used to praise its 'ancient' and 'holy'... As for the specific details of the Olmecs thousands of years ago
The name cannot be drawn on the inherited drawing board, and there is no record in the ancient sacrificial poems. No one knows it for a long time..."
"Oh? 'The original ancient city'? 'The holy city of the ancestors'? 'Ancient' and 'sacred'?!..."
Hearing this, Shulot lowered his eyes and naturally thought of a name. Inexplicably, he felt an ancient fate and a magnificent pursuit! Of course, the so-called fate and pursuit actually have their origins. After all,
, all the imaginations of later generations are also based on ancient mysterious ruins, derived from these "lost" civilizations...
After a brief recollection, Shulot smiled slightly, his eyes were deep and vicissitudes of life. He looked around at everyone, and under the witness of the bright moon, the galaxy and the sacred mountain, he decided on the name of the ancient city, and also accepted some fate and cause and effect unknown to everyone!
"Praise the Lord God! Good! Very good!... In this case, this first ancient city that is about to be rebuilt, this holy city in the Olmec era, is called the 'Old Holy City'!..."
