Chapter 731 The magnificent palace
…
After passing the long bridge, crossing the obsidian steps, and arriving on the platform, what appeared in front of Liu Dong was a grand square paved with obsidian. The square was as big as two football fields. In the center of the square was a 15-meter-high, long
It holds four hands and has wings spread out nearly 10 meters behind it. The two outermost hands of the statue are dragging a snake and an eagle respectively. The two middle hands hold a shield on the left and a spear on the right!
The statue is well preserved, but the vicissitudes of time have left deep marks on it.
Looking at this statue with obvious Indian characteristics, Liu Dong didn't know which god it was worshiped by that nation, but the material it was made of was indeed silver. Such a large piece of silver might weigh seven or eight tons!
After passing this huge statue of the god, the square is surrounded by tall palace-like buildings in a 'U' shape. The form of the building is somewhat similar to the colonnaded temple of ancient Greece, but the reliefs and architectural forms on it are somewhat different!
These complex palace complexes occupy about one-sixth of the entire platform. Although it is only one-sixth, it is still 67,000 square meters! It is about 1.5 times the size of the Louvre in France, and apart from the furnishings, some of them are incomparable.
SISU’s architecture is no less majestic!
Looking at the tall statue made of silver, Liu Dong walked across the square with a look of amazement. He stepped onto an obsidian step about 5 meters high. He passed through a huge portal 5 meters high and 4 meters wide and stepped into the main hall in the center.
Behind the building complex, streaks of golden light flashed before Liu Dong's eyes.
I saw that in this huge space supported by four huge obsidian pillars as thick as two people's arms, it was about 50 meters wide, about 120 meters long, and more than 15 meters high. The first thing that caught the eye was a hundred meters away directly opposite.
A magnificent gold relief mural!
The mural is more than 30 meters wide and about 8 meters high. The content is a scene of a king wearing luxurious robes, feathers on his head and holding a scepter, standing on a pyramid to accept the worship of all people.
Under this giant gold relief is a gold throne. The size of the throne is about the same as the emperor's throne in the Forbidden City. It is made entirely of gold and is studded with various gems, especially the top of the chair behind the throne. Inlaid with a
A yellow fluorite as big as the mouth of a bowl emits a soft yellow brilliance. I believe that the person sitting on it will feel a sense of sanctity when bathed in the radiance.
In addition, in addition to fluorite, the gold chair is also carved with intricate reliefs, but they are not dragons, but vivid feathered snakes!
Under the golden throne are three levels of steps, in a semicircle, close to the wall, shaped like an altar, about two meters above the obsidian floor of the hall, also carved with exquisite reliefs, inlaid with gold and silver, and a very precious grandmother.
Green and various gemstones.
Under the throne are some long obsidian tables arranged at equal intervals. On the tables are placed exquisite gold and silver tableware and wine bottles, as if a grand banquet is being held, but now most of them have been covered by dust.
There are about 120 obsidian long tables like this in the entire hall. However, compared with traditional Chinese long tables, the height of these tables is more than 1.5 meters, which seems a bit too high.
But the stone chairs behind these tables are high enough.
In addition to these, there are also two huge reliefs on the obsidian walls on both sides of the hall. The one on the left looks familiar to Liu Dong!
On June 5, 1952, people unearthed a stone slab engraved with figures and patterns from the ruins of a temple in the ancient Mayan city of Palenque on the Mexican plateau. At that time, people only regarded it as a carving of ancient Mayan mythology.
In the 1960s, after people took spaceships into space, American scientists involved in aerospace research suddenly realized that the carving on the Palenque stone slab turned out to be a picture of an astronaut driving a spacecraft!
Although patterned and deformed, the air inlet, exhaust pipe, joystick, pedals, rudder, antenna, hoses and various instruments of the spacecraft are still clearly visible. Photos of this painting were sent to the United States Aerospace
When it came to the center, aerospace experts were all amazed and unanimously believed that it was an ancient spacecraft.
The relief that Liu Dong saw now was an enlarged version of the "Palenque Slate Carving", and it was more detailed and showed more content!
"Another alien civilization!"
Liu Dong shook his head. Although the existence of this relief showed that there may have been visits from alien civilizations on Earth, Liu Dong had never seen it in person and he didn't know.
So, after putting down his thoughts, he looked at the stone carving on the right. This stone carving was a star map with all the planets listed on it! Although Liu Dong was not a student of the sky, he could see from this stone carving that the above
This astrological map is not just about the solar system, it also contains much broader content.
Moreover, there may be information about this civilization's astronomy and calendar on this relief, but it is a pity that Liu Dong cannot understand the hieroglyphics on it.
Compared with the gorgeous reliefs on the walls, the decoration on the top of this hall is not bad at all. This scene of civilized life is carved entirely in relief on solid obsidian. There are huge gods on it, and ordinary people accept it.
There are nearly a thousand figures of all sizes on the nearly 6,000-square-meter ceiling of the scene blessed by the gods. These reliefs are decorated with very bright colors using red, green and yellow paints, making them appear more vivid.
It also gave Liu Dong, the first outsider to visit, a huge shock.
At this moment, he had the feeling of being in the Sistine Chapel admiring Michelangelo's "Genesis" fresco!
The same majesty, the same sacredness, the same incredible feeling!
Standing in this huge and glorious palace supported by four stone pillars with a diameter of one meter, Liu Dong seemed to have traveled through time and space to see the heyday of civilization, where rulers and nobles were discussing the decisions that would determine the direction of the race.
The current situation of major policies.
It’s a pity that everything is gone now!
After taking one last look at the main hall buried in dust, Liu Dong left from the back door of the main hall. After exiting the back door, there was an obsidian corridor that was 3 meters wide and about 3.5 meters high. It was like a viewing corridor in a Chinese garden. Outside the corridor was
A small square paved with obsidian, with water and mountains on the square, is like a traditional Chinese small garden, but it has lost its former beauty when no one takes care of it.
Walking back along the winding corridor, after passing exquisite but now dilapidated obsidian houses, you finally passed through a 5-meter-high courtyard wall, and a huge square appeared in front of you again!
"I asked why I couldn't see any adults when I came in front. It turns out they are all concentrated here!"
Looking at the thick crowd gathered in the square of about 20,000 square meters, Liu Dong took a quick look and saw that there were at least 3,000 people! Of course, compared to the area of the entire square, this number of people standing on it was nothing.
"Looking at them gathered here, they are obviously preparing to hold some important ceremony!"
Moreover, on one side of the square, there were more than twenty unlucky people with their hands tied and their mouths gagged. Among them were blacks, whites, and Hispanics. They were obviously sacrifices captured by these natives.
Seeing that the natives who had brought back Ivanka walked to the center of the square, they found a tall and sturdy man wearing feathers on his head, a fist-sized crystal skull hanging around his neck, various gold decorations, and various complex tattoos on his body.
After the Indians, Liu Dong took out his giant steel bow from the mustard space. If these natives planned to kill Ivanka immediately, Liu Dong might have to brave the encirclement and suppression of three thousand natives to bring her down.
Got it!
Although Liu Dongyi is a brave man, he still feels a little numb when he thinks of himself having a pair of three thousand!
But the next scene made Liu Dong sigh in relief.
Seeing that the man with a crystal skull on his neck, an angry look on his face, and his mouth "Jili Gua La" taught a few members of the hundreds of indigenous teams who had fought against Liu Dong.
Obviously, the loss of his troops would make the indigenous leader very dissatisfied.
However, the status of this native, who was equivalent to a general, was not low, so he retreated after being reprimanded by the leader.
The angry leader waved his right hand, and two soldiers came out from the side and took the struggling Ivanka aside.
Seeing this, Liu Dong breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed the huge bow in his hand.
As long as Ivanka is safe, there is no need for him to use the most drastic methods to save him.
After thinking about this clearly, Liu Dong returned to the courtyard wall of the palace complex, hiding his figure, and looked at the surrounding buildings with the relic light.
Except for the palace in the south, where he is located, there are 28 obsidian sword-wielding warriors standing on the edge of the palace and the square. The images of these warriors are somewhat similar to the warrior stone statues on both sides of the bluestone avenue after Liu Dong just entered the underground space, but
Stronger in height and elegance.
After passing these warriors, extending 70 meters forward is where the crowd gathered!
Beyond these natives and extending 40 meters to the north, there are two rows of tiger-headed warrior statues with the same height of about 4 meters. Guarded by these warrior statues behind them is a tower over 80 meters high and with a base length of about 0 meters.
Huge pyramid!
The temple on the top of the tower is still complete. The god worshiped has two heads and four arms. The height of the statue reaches 6 meters. The whole body is made of pure gold, and the arms, chest, and waist are studded with gems.
What also makes Liu Dong envious is that there are many gold and silver vessels, as well as small statues and ornaments made of jade accumulated in this huge pyramid. It is obvious that these are sacrifices to the gods!
