Chapter 416 The Treasure in the Swamp

Crystal Human Skull is a human skull model made of quartz stone.Before the 21st century, these models were claimed by some museums to be made by the Aztecs or Mayans in ancient America.But later evidence showed that its actual completion date should be in the mid-19th century, which means that those are fakes.

However, where there are fakes, there must be genuine ones.It is precisely because there are legends handed down from ancient times that the crystal skull has been forged.But it is still impossible to prove that someone first created the skull in modern times and then traveled back to ancient times to fabricate a legend to let it pass down.Therefore, the legend of the Crystal Skull, whether the Crystal Skull exists, and whether the Crystal Skull is true or not have yet to be deciphered.

But for Wu Di, this question is really too childish.There is no need for Tianshu to do a separate appraisal, but he can know from the amount of aura just now that this crystal skull is absolutely real, which is even more certain than its material is crystal!

According to the book "The Mystery of the Crystal Skull", there are 52 crystal skulls in total.There were 13 Mayans, and others scattered in sacred places around the world, including many other indigenous tribes in the Americas, as well as tribes such as Tibetans and Australian aborigines.

According to legend, the mandibles of 52 of the 12 crystal skulls can move, and they are called "singing skulls", which store a lot of knowledge and are gifts brought by aliens from the Sirius constellation to earth people.In order to assist the dissemination of knowledge, aliens made 40 skulls with immobile mandibles on the earth, called "talking skulls".

Wu Di looked at the lower jaw of the crystal skull, wondering if this skull was one of the twelve who could sing, or those idiots who could only talk.But no matter what it is, as long as it is true, its value cannot be overstated no matter how you describe it.

Wu Di shook his head, thinking of a problem, even if it is a real crystal skull, it shouldn't glow in this black box in the mud.But the scene I see now is definitely not caused by the ignorance of the darkness by the clairvoyant eye. Could it be that there is a light source inside it?

He turned his attention to the small black box again, and searched carefully.Hehe, there is indeed another light source here, but it is not embedded in the skull, but comes from a corner of the box, where there is actually a night pearl as big as an egg!

The luminous pearl has been proved by modern science to be just a kind of ore with special ore composition, and it has nothing to do with the pearl produced by mussels.

Modern people divide luminous pearls into two categories, one is permanent luminous luminous pearls, mainly because they contain some radioactive isotopes, which can emit light by themselves.The other type is called long-lasting light-storing luminous pearls. The activators in their phosphors have no radiation and must be excited by external sunlight, ultraviolet light and other light sources before they can emit light.And this one should be a permanent luminous night pearl, I'm afraid it will have to be tested for radiation after it is taken out to see if it is harmful to the human body.

Wu Di stared at the box while thinking wildly.There is a very serious problem here, because the crystal skulls discovered today are all claimed to have been discovered in the remains of the post-classic period of the Mayan civilization, and at that time, the center of the Mayan culture should have been in Mexico.If this batch of things can be proved to be the relics of the pre-classic period, then the difference of more than 600 years or even thousands of years is enough to overthrow almost all the research results of the Mayan civilization!

"I hope they won't be proved to be a branch of alien civilization on Earth, and then they will collectively return to Mars someday in the 9th or 10th century..."

Wu Di was thinking maliciously while looking into another box.What he saw before made him look forward to this box, but what he saw disappointed him greatly.There are actually a lot of gold coins on the side!Could it be that the Mayans already had such intricately patterned gold coins?This is another subversive discovery!

It's a pity that after casually verifying a few coins, he found that these were Spanish gold coins in the [-]th and [-]th centuries. Although they are also very valuable for collection, they are a bit too childish compared to those ancient Mayan cultural relics.

"Perhaps, we may be able to find out the origin of this batch of Mayan cultural relics from these gold coins..."

Wu Di withdrew his gaze, the sky was already dark, he was already satisfied to find these things, as for whether there are any more, and how many more, everything will be discussed tomorrow.

"Fifth brother, the food here is all natural, pollution-free and wild, and it's full of exotic flavors! Come on, you have a taste of this meat. Compared with our pork, which one is more fragrant?"

"Well, this is delicious, fragrant but not greasy, and has a good bite. By the way, is this American wild boar?"

The sparrow scratched his head,

"Fifth brother, are you sure you want to know?"

Wu Di's eyes flicked over the faces of several other people, and he saw something bad in their eyes, then he shook his head,

"Forget it, I'll just take care of the food."

Although he said so in his mouth, he never ate a similar piece of meat after that. I hope this thing is not disgusting, but he seems to have heard of a giant earthworm that tastes like this. smell……

The military master observed the steaming fog on the swamp with a flashlight, took out a small instrument, looked at it, and said:

"It shouldn't be a problem. It's mainly water mist, and the harmful gas content is very low. But to be on the safe side, two people should watch the night together. If you find anything wrong, you should immediately remind each other!"

Several people nodded cautiously. Most of the swamps are full of rotting branches and leaves and dead animals, so sometimes the season is not right, and there will be a large area of ​​miasma.That thing is like gas, it can poison people unconsciously, and die in sleep, but it is much more terrifying than some aggressive animals.

It was still early, although after a day of trekking, Wu Di didn't want to go to bed so early.However, there are unknown dangers lurking everywhere here, and I dare not wander around, so I can only lie in the narrow tent and think about the discovery in the evening, trying to figure it out.

The Mayan cultural relics currently on display are mainly in the later classical civilization period, and although there is still some controversy about the origin of the Mayan jade culture, it is indeed a generally accepted conclusion that it began after the classical period.

However, judging from the craftsmanship and shape of this batch of objects, there seems to be no big difference from those objects, but how could the objects of post-classical civilization appear in Guatemala, the center of neo-classical civilization?Or are those unlucky historians and archaeologists completely wrong about the origin of Mayan jade culture?

There is another most important question. Since this is not the remains of the ancient Mayans, then these things must have been brought over and discarded or hidden. Then who did it?

Guatemala became a Spanish colony in the 15th century. This process lasted for more than 300 years, and it was not read until the 18th century.If these things were looted by the colonists, why weren't they shipped back to China early?If it was not looted by the colonists, then why are there a large number of ancient Spanish gold coins?

He thought of the treasure found at the bottom of the Royal Lake in Myanmar. There are similarities between the two, but they are very different when he thinks about it. What happened at that time?This is the real treasure that is easy to recognize, and inheritance is hard to find!

"Military division, do you know the exact age when this swamp was formed?"

The military adviser sitting next to him shook his head and said:

"Fifth brother, the age of this forest should not exceed 500 years. From this point of view, the formation time of this swamp may only be more than 300 years, which is not very long. But this is my personal inference. The time we entered here is still Too short, no time to find some evidence."

"evidence?"

"Yes, every piece of forest can be seen from some characteristics about how long it has existed. And the wetlands and swamps in the forest are much later than the age when the forest was formed. Knowing the age of formation, you can roughly infer the age of the forest. The degree of danger, I guess, there should not be too much danger tonight."

Wu Di shook his head, the characteristics of the forest?I really don't understand these things, so let's wait until we go back and check the information.

When the first ray of sunlight appeared over the swamp in the morning, Wu Di was awakened by the sound of animal cries one after another. He looked at the empty sleeping bag around him and stretched himself, but he still couldn't compare with these professional guys!However, sleeping in the wetland for a long time may not be a good thing. After so long, my hands and feet are still a little numb.

As soon as he walked out of the tent, he was stunned by the heavy fog in front of him, and he couldn't see anything 20 meters away. How could they get into the swamp later?

"It's okay, fifth brother, as soon as the sun comes out, the fog will dissipate quickly. Look over there, it's the same when I woke up in the morning, and it's all right now."

Wu Di nodded, I hope so, although it is definitely impossible to take Maya's baby away this time, but he still has no clue about his primary task!

He looked around and saw that the sparrow was cooking soup not far away, and the military division and Daniel were using branches to build something like a raft, so he approached with a smile.

This is a very small raft, only about half the size of a single bed. The military division and the others have already made three rafts and are currently making the fourth.

"Why do you need so many of these things?"

"Fifth brother, this thing works better than anything else in the swamp! It's a pity that there are less rope straps, otherwise we need to tie two more to be safe. It is critical to rely on it to save lives!"

Wu Dixin said, follow Fifth Brother, I'm afraid you won't be able to use this thing at all!

"Fifth brother, it's very difficult to find a python in such a large swamp, and even if we find it, we won't be able to catch it. We..." (To be continued.)
