I'm just saying some immature opinions. Let's exchange them.
I think both your questions are related to a legendary civilization, that is Atlantis.
Plato first mentioned the name Atlantis in his book Dialogue. Modern science has found that before the flood, there may have been a continent on the earth with a high degree of civilization. In a global disaster, the continent sank into the Atlantic Ocean. In the past century, the remains of prehistoric civilization discovered by archaeologists at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean seem to confirm this hypothesis. In folk parlance, people call this land "Daxizhou" and the country that gave birth to prehistoric civilization "Daxi Country". In fact, the scientific community has long named this mysteriously disappeared continent, that is, it has followed Plato's name: Atlantis.
This continent is highly civilized, but we have no definite evidence to prove it at present.
However, almost all countries and regions in the world have stories of flooding in Daxizhou, which is about 12000 BC. I guess this flood is unexpected. I'm looking for a possible crater this time.
Atlantis civilization is the closest prehistoric civilization to us.
After the flood, the survivors of Atlantis fled to other continents nearest to them by various advanced means of transportation, namely, ancient Egypt and ancient Maya. During this period, we can see many buildings and civilizations beyond the times, but the ancient Mayan civilization was relatively late. It can be guessed that the population of Central and South America was insufficient, and the advanced civilization at that time could not be displayed. The only explanation is that someone brought these technologies. If you look at the map, you will understand why these civilizations appeared in ancient Egypt and ancient Maya.
Many legends of gods also started from here.
Start to answer your second question: I forward a post to you. It's up to you to judge whether it's true or not.
In the history of ancient world civilization, Mayan civilization seemed to fall from the sky, and came to an abrupt end at the most brilliant and prosperous time. Before Columbus discovered America, this great and mysterious nation had long since disappeared collectively. Their splendid culture was suddenly interrupted, leaving great confusion for the world.
Since john stephens, an American, first discovered the ruins of ancient Mayan civilization in the tropical jungle of Honduras in 1839, archaeologists from all over the world have discovered more than 170 abandoned ruins of ancient Mayan cities in the jungles and wasteland of China and the United States from BC 1000 to the 8th century. The footprint of Mayan civilization starts from Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico in the north and reaches Guatemala, Honduras and Honduras in the south. This mysterious nation has built a surprisingly huge building in the tropical jungle of South America. Many designers of modern cities bemoan the magnificent Tikal city when computer-generated maps appear in front of people. Palenque Palace, built in the 7th century, is 0/00 meter long and 80 meters wide. The Governor's Mansion in Uxmar consists of 22,500 stone carvings, which are carefully designed. Although the roof of Chyi Chin Itza's samurai temple has disappeared, the towering 1000 stone pillars still remind people of the spirit of that year. All this makes people feel that this is an extraordinary nation.
With the further investigation of Mayan culture, people are surprised to find that the Mayans thousands of years ago had unparalleled mathematical attainments and unique enigmatic characters. Moreover, the giant buildings in chichen itza, Tikal, palenque and other places did not come from the needs of Maya's real life, but were built in strict accordance with the magical Mayan calendar cycle.
How accurate is the Mayan calendar and astronomical knowledge? They divide a year into 18 months, and their calculated earth year is 365.2420 days. Compared with the 365.2422 days calculated by modern people, the error is only 0.0002 days, that is to say, the error of a month in 2000 is only one day. They calculated that the year of Venus is 584 days, which is only 7 seconds away from the 50 years of modern people. What an incredible number this is! How did the Mayans thousands of years ago have such an accurate calculation? They still maintain a special religious chronology, with a year divided into 13 months and 20 days each month, which is called "Zorkin Year". Where this calendar came from is really puzzling.
Because this chronology is not based on the movement of any celestial body observed on the earth. Some people think that the calendar of "Zorkin Year" was made by the ancestors of Maya on the basis of another planet that we don't know yet.
The Mayans mastered the number concept of "0" at least in the 4th century BC, 800 years before China and Europeans, to 1000. They also created a 20-digit counting method, and their numerical calculus can be used in 4 million years.
Such a huge astronomical figure can only be used for modern interstellar travel and measuring the distance between stars. Thousands of years ago, the Mayans slash and burn, covered their bodies with leaves and exchanged things with cocoa beans as the medium. Do they need such numerical calculations?
The Mayan calendar can last 400 million years, and the difference between the solar year and the Venus year he calculated can be accurate to four decimal places. They have their own characters, which are hieroglyphics composed of 800 symbols and figures, and their vocabulary is as high as 30 thousand. They have exquisite carving, painting and bronze art. However, before the peak of this high civilization was born, the Mayans lived in tree holes for parties. How did such a primitive tribe suddenly produce such a high civilization? Even in the16th century, the Indians seen by the Spanish on the Yucatan Peninsula full of historical sites still lived in mud houses with leaves and made a living by gathering and hunting. Obviously, the precise astronomical calendar and mathematics, the civilization and art admired all over the world, far exceeded the actual needs of the almost primitive life of the local Indian indigenous people.
This makes anyone have to have a profound: how did the ancient Maya get that profound knowledge? How did the splendid Mayan culture come into being and then disappear?
1On June 5th, 952, a stone tablet engraved with numbers and patterns was excavated from the ruins of a temple in palenque, an ancient Mayan city on the Mexican plateau. At that time, people only regarded this as a sculpture of ancient Mayan mythology. But in the 1960s, after people went into space by spaceship, American scientists who participated in space research suddenly realized that what was carved on the slate of palenque was a picture of an astronaut driving a spaceship! Although it has undergone patterned deformation, the air inlet, exhaust pipe, joystick, pedal, rudder, antenna, hose and various instruments of the spacecraft are still clearly visible. When this photo was sent to the American Space Center, the space experts were amazed and agreed that it was an ancient spaceship. It seems unbelievable, but it is a certain fact.
Therefore, some scholars have put forward a bold view: they think that in distant ancient times, a group of intelligent aliens with high civilization may have appeared in the tropical jungle of America. They walked out of the spaceship, taught all kinds of advanced knowledge to the Maya in primitive times, and then drifted away. They were regarded as gods by the Mayans. The profound knowledge that is difficult to understand in Mayan culture was taught by aliens. The carving on the slate in palenque is also a copy of the alien astronauts by the Mayans. When the aliens left, they promised the Mayans to return to the earth, but they didn't come back in the days when the Mayans chased them and the priests predicted the return of the gods. Therefore, this led to the loss of the Maya's confidence in their religion and priestly rule, which led to the collapse of the entire national psychology, and finally made people leave their hometowns one after another and separate. Maya culture just disappeared.
Perhaps people will accuse this view of being too hypothetical. But even if we change this statement, we still can't fully explain the mysterious connotation of Mayan culture, many incredible miracles and the reasons for its sudden disappearance.
Maya occupied Yucatan Peninsula, modern Honduras and modern Guatemala. Its history can be traced back to around 2000 BC, but its heyday was between 600 and 900 AD. Although they lived in the period of agricultural development, they still created many monuments and ceremony centers similar to the brilliant monuments in Egypt. The scale of these buildings is amazing because their religious beliefs are quite simple. Although the development level of its architecture is not very high, it is still ahead compared with other ethnic groups of its time. They invented a unique writing language, which they can't understand until today. Only three books were written by Mayans, and the rest were destroyed by Europeans who were considered heretics.
The Mayans are very proficient in mathematics and astronomy, and their ability to understand and predict planetary motion is calculated according to the calendar, which is often shown in some important ceremonies. They live in a small village, and whenever something important happens, they can get together to discuss it. This small village no longer exists. Noble soldiers and priests rule this society.
In the 10 century, the Mayans began to decline, probably because of earthquakes or volcanic eruptions. Since then, many important ceremony places have been abandoned. Soldiers from the center of Mexico invaded Maya city, and they attacked in droves in the rainforest. /kloc-in the 0/7th century, the Spanish seized the last Mayan center, but today, the population living in Yucatan Peninsula is nearly 2 million less than before.
There are too many things discussed in my QQ: 64738697, so I'll write it here for the time being. You can add QQ*** to study together.
