- Chapter 1,368 Ancient Submarine
This view of the "cyclical nature" of time is very distinctive, and many festivals are related to the ending and restarting of many different cycles.
When a specific calendar configuration is repeated again, there will also be related "supernatural" effects. Specific calendar configurations have a unique "role" for them, which will affect the events that occur on the date of that configuration.
Because events that occur in the future will be affected by the date corresponding to the previous cycle, this can be used to predict the timing of divination festivals and major events. The timing of divination festivals and major events will be chosen to be set on a good and auspicious day, and to avoid setting it on an unlucky day. Fastest update, full text hand-typing
The end of a major calendar cycle is often marked on a specific monument as a commemoration, accompanied by a tribute ceremony
The idea of ??cyclicity is also mentioned in the Mayan creation myth, stating that there were other worlds before the one humans currently live in, one to five depending on the tradition, shaped into different forms by the gods. , but one after another was destroyed
¡°Today¡¯s world is also a fragile existence, requiring prayer and regular sacrifices to maintain the balance of all things. Similar views are found in other Mesoamerican societies¡±

Mayanologists gave the Mayan version of the Mesoamerican 260-day calendar the name Tzolkin Calendar. This name was established based on the Yucatan language, and its extended meaning was "counting of days." The exact name of this calendar in the Mayan pre-Columbian period was still It is unknown, and the corresponding calendar in the Nahuatl language of the Aztecs is called the Tonalpovari Calendar.
The Tzolkin calendar consists of 20 day names and a cycle of 13 days to form 260 ** days. It is used to determine the time of religious and ritual events and to do divination. Each date is marked sequentially from 1 to The number of days is 13, and then counting starts again from 1
The Mayans believe that each Tzolkin day has a symbol of the things it affects. The Mayans have a shaman called the date keeper who predicts the future by studying the Tzolkin calendar. When a child is born, the date keeper will analyze it. The Tzoljin Calendar can predict a child¡¯s future destiny
For example, a child born on a special day is considered feminine, wealthy, and articulate. A child born on a special day is also considered to have the ability to communicate with the supernatural world, so he or she may become a shaman or a wedding speaker in the future.
The exact origin of the Tzolkin calendar is still unknown, but one of the several existing theories states that the Tzolkin calendar was derived from mathematical operations based on the numbers 13 and 20, which were very important to the Mayans. important numbers
20 is the base number of the Mayan number system derived from the total number of human fingers and toes, while 13 symbolizes the number of levels in the heaven where the gods live. Multiplying the two numbers equals
Another theory states that the interval of days is derived from human pregnancy. This number is very close to the average number of days from the first menstrual period to delivery, rather than Negre's. The rule counts from the last menstrual period to 40 weeks after delivery. Therefore, some people speculate that the Tzolkin calendar was originally developed by midwives to estimate the baby's due date.
Analysis of phonetic elements of the Haab calendar characters in the pre-Columbian Mayan inscriptions shows that the names of these 20-day months will change significantly with different eras and regions, reflecting the various changes in the classical and post-classical periods before Spanish records. differences between language usage
Guatemala is located in Central America, bordering the Pacific Ocean to the west, the Caribbean Sea to the east, Mexico to the north, Belize to the northeast, Honduras and El Salvador to the southeast. It currently has diplomatic relations with Taiwan; the country is in poor condition, and broadcasting in indigenous languages ??has been illegal. Only recently has it eased
From the 4th century to the 10th century, the Pet¨¦n lowland region of Guatemala was the center of Mayan culture. After the Mayan culture in the lowland region was eliminated at the end of the 10th century, it still existed in the central highlands.
In 1524, the Spanish came to Guatemala, destroyed the local Mayan culture and began to colonize Guatemala. Due to the extermination policy of the Spanish colonists, almost all previous Maya books were destroyed, and only a few remain today.
In Guatemala, the cultural influence of the Mayans and Spanish colonists is still very deep. Many clothes and foods are still made in traditional Mayan ways. There are also many Mayan ruins on the Caribbean coast. The influence of African culture can also be seen in dance and religion. It can be heard in songs and tasted in food.
The civilization form of the Mayans and their knowledge of astronomy and calendar are now incomplete. The Spanish colonists in their heyday, those gentlemen who claimed to be civilized and elegant, forever destroyed an ancient and great nation.
Now, there are only mysteries left there that are difficult to understand
But there is not only one mystery in this world, but there are many, and they are even interconnected.??The same big net covers the earth
Derek J. Desola Price, this lucky man once experienced a big shock in his life, when an artifact he was cleaning finally revealed its true identity in front of him
The enigmatic object, which has lain in the Athens Museum for nearly half a century, was fished out of the 120-foot seabed in the eastern Mediterranean around Easter 1900.
This thing was discovered by Elisas Dadiatus, a sponge diver who was working on the coast of Antikythera, a small island near Crete, when he discovered an ancient ship. Part of a wrecked Roman ship that also contained items from other eras. It was determined to have been wrecked around 80 BC.
On May 17, 1902, when Greek archaeologist Valenos Steais was inspecting the ship, he discovered a gear-like object embedded in what looked like a rock.
In fact, it was three major parts of a machine that had been severely hardened and corroded, as well as many of its smaller components.
He called it the Antikythera Device, and it remained a secret for the next forty-nine years.
Until Price, a professor of history of science at Yale University, discovered its true identity: it was a mechanical analog computer whose technology was far ahead of its time.
¡°It would be like finding a turbine engine in King Tut¡¯s tomb,¡± Price wrote in a June 1959 article in Scientific American. ¡°An ancient Greek engine. computer"
He pointed out that the Antikythera device used very complex differential gear technology that was not reinvented until the mid-16th century AD.
It can calculate the period of the moon's movement, and calculate the motion of the planets and stars by subtracting the effect of the sun's movement from the effect of the moon's movement. The orbit-like function makes it better than the differential gear of the 16th century. Much more advanced, like entering the space age
After decades of testing, the capabilities of this advanced machine are gradually revealed
When past or future dates are input into its crank, it can calculate the position of the sun and the moon at that time, or tell us other astronomical information such as the positions of other planets, etc.
The use of differential gears allows the machine to increase and decrease angular speed, and the dial in front of it shows the annual movement of the sun and moon through a zodiac chart based on the Egyptian calendar.
The dial at the front and rear shows a forty-year cycle, and the adjacent dial shows the equivalent of 235 months of the Metonic calendar, which is basically equivalent to nineteen solar years.
The lower dial shows the running date of a single month, accompanied by a secondary dial showing the twelve months of the lunar calendar
The main body of the Antikythera device is made of bronze, with a wooden frame on the outside. It is 13 inches high and 3.5 inches wide but only 3.5 inches thick. It has more than two thousand words engraved on it.
Much of the text has been obscured, so a full translation is still being worked on. The complex machine is currently housed in the bronze collection of the National Archaeological Museum in Greece, but American visitors can view it in Bozeman, Montana. See a very accurate replica of it at the National Computer Museum
The original purpose of the Antikythera device should have been as a non-vehicle navigation tool, helping Roman cargo ships successfully complete the journey across the Atlantic from Greece to the United States, fifteen centuries earlier than Columbia.
Furthermore, there is no doubt that the Antikythera Device was not the first similar tool. Its creation should have been continuously developed over a long period of time, much earlier than its sinking in the Mediterranean in 80 BC. much more
The ancient Roman orator Cicero once wrote: The consul Marcelius brought two instruments back to Rome from the occupied city of Syracuse. One of the instruments drew a map of the universe on a ball, and the other Used to predict the movement of the sun, moon and planets
His description is very similar to the Antikythera Device. What¡¯s even more interesting is that Syracuse happened to be the place where Archimedes fought against the Roman invasion.
The great mathematical genius of ancient Greece once used a row of mirrors to reflect sunlight onto enemy ships, causing them to burst into flames
Although modern skeptics dismiss the story as pure legend, a team of MIT researchers concluded that Archimedes' military action was indeed feasible.
The vast amount of time that has passed has erased all traces of Archimedes' original "Grand Plan of Wounded Weapons" and finds like the Antikythera Device are extremely rare.
But they still believe that science and technology in primitive times??Much more developed than mainstream scientists would have us believe today
Of all the advanced technologies used by our human ancestors, the most surprising, and at the same time best documented, is the submarine. Faint memories of submarines consistently persisted into the Middle Ages, but from a common medieval perspective, This is unimaginable
There is a French manuscript in the 13th century called "The True History of Alexander". This book describes Alexander the Great's voyage in a "bowl" that allowed him to sail from Greece to Greece under the nose of his own fleet. Sailing from one port to another without being discovered, this happened in 332 B.C.
It is said that Alexander the Great was so satisfied with the performance of this submarine that he ordered its mass production for his navy
If The True History of Alexander were our only source for this story, we would be inclined to think of it as a medieval fantasy.
However, Alexander the Great's teacher Aristotle also recorded in a book that the Greek Navy used a "submersible house" in the battle against Tyros in the same year. When this submarine was secretly placed After reaching the water, it successfully hindered the opponent's attack
When Xerxes I attacked Europe, a Greek warrior named Sisilis emerged from the Persian king's fleet at night and cut off various ships at the dock moorings with a knife.
Sisili¡¯s ¡°submarine¡± used a catheter, which was a hollow breathing tube with only one head exposed above the water.
After disrupting the enemy fleet, Sisiris sailed the nine miles back to Cape Artemisia, where he joined his fellow Greeks.
Similar actions were described by some of the best scholars of the classical period, such as Herodotus, who lived in 460 B.C., and Pliny the Elder, who lived in 77 A.D.
Although anthropologists have not found a primitive submarine so far, another completely different machine has given us sufficient evidence to prove that primitive science and technology were far more advanced than what is currently known.
In the late 1990s, Jay Enoch of the University of California School of Optometry and Vasudevan Lakshmirarayanan of the University of Missouri School of Optometry examined eyes made of quartz crystals on an Early Dynasty human statue.
They were shocked by their findings: First, the complex and exquisite structure of the quartz crystal eyes of this statue of Prince Rahtep made during the Fourth Dynasty of Egypt
The second is a scribe statue from a Fifth Dynasty tomb in Saqqara, Egypt. Scientists are trying to reconstruct the latter using modern optical technology.
The replicators found that these ancient Egyptian crystal-cutting techniques were too advanced for them, and Enoch and Lakshmirarayanan concluded: "The ancient Egyptians used quartz crystals to reshape the human eye structure. , the beauty of its surface and its complex and exquisite technology, it is difficult not to suspect that this is not the first time such a crystal has been used, although it is already old enough, all 4,600 years ago."
Their findings were finally published in 2001 after nearly thirty years of further investigation and research.
Robert Temple wrote in a magazine called Australia's Dawn: "The earliest crystals I have found are crystals belonging to the Fourth Dynasty of ancient Egypt, dating from 2500 BC. They were found in the Cairo Museum, along with two others. The block is in the Louvre in Paris¡±
"But archaeological evidence shows that they existed almost seven hundred years before their discovery at Abydos in late Egypt. An ivory knife handle with a handle on it was also unearthed from the tomb of a king of the previous dynasty. There is a very tiny statue that could only have been completed with magnification."
Of course, even if you want to see it today, you have to use a magnifying glass.
Temple linked the mirrors of the Pharos Lighthouse 3 to the structure of the pyramid: "The technology of building the pyramid can be pushed back to at least 3300 BC, and it should actually be earlier, because we simply cannot determine that the ivory handle was the first Such high-tech products¡±
"In fact, such a complex craft must have a long tradition to form. Therefore, we can infer that amplification technology was used in Egypt in 3300 BC."
"This situation of the pyramid is close to the geographical compass. No one can figure out how the compass was invented, because its accuracy has exceeded the ancient Egyptian technology we know so far. So, the same important question Yes, how could such a precise structure of the pyramid be produced?¡±
Sir Flinders Petrie, a well-known British Egyptology expert, was surprised that ¡°Egyptian goldMany of the exquisite craftsmanship of the pyramid are equivalent to many modern optical technologies."
A century later, when Peter Lemeiz¨¨re inspected the twenty-one acres of fine limestone surrounding the pyramid, he said: "The limestone has been leveled and polished according to ordinary standards of accuracy found in modern optical techniques. "
Mainstream scholars still find it difficult to accept that the ancient Egyptians¡¯ own documents have recorded a series of optical reflection technologies they used
The 60-foot-tall, 121-ton obelisk at Eliopolis was erected in 1942 BC for the celebration of Pharaoh Sesostris I. It is the earliest known use of This optical technology building has a hieroglyph on it describing such a scene: "In front of a huge mirror made of gold, 13,000 priests are praying."
The 60-foot-tall, 121-ton obelisk of Eliopolis
In the book "Electronic Mirror of the Pharos Lighthouse", the author Larry Brian Radka clearly stated that electricity had already been used as early as the Pharaonic civilization. The most obvious example is the Pharos Lighthouse.
The large amount of fuel required to light the lighthouse cannot be found anywhere in Egypt. If you have to rely on imports, firstly, the price will be very expensive, and secondly, even if you spend all your national efforts to import it, it will be completely destroyed in the first year. Use up
On the basis of these and other equally important considerations, Radkar considered the Pharos lighthouse to be a kind of carbon-arc lamp, the light of which comes from the flash of electric light produced by the contact of two electric rods, one with the positive and one with the negative pole.
