Chapter 1020: The Fountain of Youth
"A thing that exists in legends.

In fact, speaking of this fountain of youth, our ancestors should have searched for it here too. "

"What?" The fat man was stunned for a moment, "Isn't that America discovered by Columbus?

Could it be that our ancestors also came here in advance and made a series of doors? "

Ye Feng nodded, "Your junior high school history knowledge should be collected first.

Our ancestors have already discovered the American continent. "

"Is there any evidence? Why is it not recognized internationally?" the fat man asked back.

"In the early 80s, a 'stone anchor' was fished up on the coastline of California. From the production process, it is inferred that it was an anchor specially used for ancient Chinese navigation.

After the identification of carbon fourteen, this anchor has a history of more than 1000 years, which shows that the Chinese people had arrived here long before Columbus discovered the American continent. "

Ye Feng said, and then his face sank:
"Actually, it was more than 1000 years ago. There was a record of the Fusang Kingdom as early as in the "Liang Shu Biography of Zhu Yi".

In the early 40s, Professor Zhu Qianzhi also wrote a book "Crafts of the Fusang Kingdom", which verified that the Fusang Kingdom in the "Book of Liang" actually refers to the current Mexico from the aspects of geography, farming and social system. It reached America long before the fifth to fifteenth centuries AD. "

Fatty got excited when he heard "Fusang", and quickly refuted Ye Feng: "Madman, although I only have a junior high school history level, you can't fool me.

Doesn't this Fusang refer to Dongying in ancient geography?

Why is it Mexico again? "

Ye Feng explained to the fat man with a contemptuous look on his face: "Following what others say will always kill a generation.

From ancient times to the present, there has never been a saying in China that Fusang is Dongying. The ancient Dongying was called the "Wo" country. It was one of the six Yi kingdoms recorded in the "Liang Shu". It is Goguryeo, Baekje, Silla, Wa, Tattoo State, and Fusang State.

Fusang is the place where "the sun first rises". Everyone thinks that Dongying is Fusang to the east of them, but they don't know that the countries near the prime meridian are the real Fusang countries.

It is a pity that this set of theories that the Chinese discovered America is immature. Although there is a lot of archaeological evidence, many experts and scholars have questioned it.

Have you heard the story of 'Cheng Wang's Eastern Expedition'?
From "Feng Shen Bang". "

The fat man shook his head, and Ye Feng said: "In the early morning of Jiazi Day in the first month of the 11th year of King Wu of Zhou, King Wu of Zhou launched the world-famous "Battle of Muye", overthrew the rule of Yin and Shang, and established the Great Zhou Dynasty. Uncle Cai, Uncle Cai and Uncle Huo are among the "Three Supervisors".

Two years later, King Wu of Zhou died of illness, and his son Song succeeded him, known as King Cheng of Zhou in history.

Because King Zhou Cheng was young, King Wu's younger brother Zhou Dan took on the burden of assisting the government. It was this that aroused the dissatisfaction of Uncle Guan, Uncle Huo and other nobles, commonly known as fighting in the nest.

At this time, there is still a man who is always looking for opportunities to restore the country and seek revenge, that is, Shang Zhou's son Wu Geng.

He is still alive, and lives with self-blame every day.

why?

Because on the day of the "Battle of Muye", he held 25 troops but was unable to recover from the defeat. Huaiyi and other tribes fought.

Of course, the small Dongyi tribe was no match for the elite soldiers of the great merchants, but it was this battle of suppressing bandits that was too late to return to the city, which left the rear of the Shang capital empty, allowing Zhou to take advantage of it and hit him with one blow.

Prince Wu Geng, who commanded 25 elite soldiers to suppress bandits, wished he could strangle himself to death on the spot after hearing the news of the subjugation of the country. Unfortunately, the technology was relatively backward at that time, and there were no planes, let alone aircraft carriers. To deal with King Wu of Zhou's infantry regiment of 25 chariots, 5000 heavy cavalry, and [-] soldiers, it would be like harvesting carrots, one cut at a time.

So Wu Geng lives in pain every day, always waiting for the restoration of the country.

After waiting for two years, the opportunity finally came. He won over Uncle Guan and Uncle Huo, and called the group of Pugu and Xu who were suppressed back then to hold a meeting, and said concisely:

kill back.

For a time, Zhou's rule was in jeopardy.

Fortunately, Zhou Dan had been prepared for a long time. He gathered the army and wiped out Wu Geng who was in a meeting, then killed the traitor Guan Shu, exiled Huo Shu who was not firm, and wiped out the central force of the rebellion.

In the end, we continued to suppress bandits in the east, and this was the century-old prosperity of the descendants of the Great Zhou Kingdom.

The scale of this battle was larger than the "Battle of Muye", the battle situation was more tragic, and the time was longer. Only then did Zhou's grand plan to destroy Shang truly complete. "

After the fat man heard it, he shouted: "This has something to do with the Inca!"

Ye Feng continued: "Historians infer that after Wu Geng was killed, his remnants lost their leaders and retreated steadily to the coast of the East China Sea.

This group of nobles who declined in the Shang Dynasty faced a desperate situation with chasing troops before and deep sea behind.

The predecessors of the Shang clan were seafaring tribes who lived in coastal areas and mastered advanced navigation technology. They were capable enough to cross the East China Sea and go overseas to find a new living space.

At the same time, in Mexico and Central America, an Olmec civilization with strong Chinese civilization characteristics fell from the sky without origin and development process.

Their carvings, jade wares and even worshiped totems, including these discovered oracle bone inscriptions, all have great connections, or direct relationships, with the adherents of the Shang Dynasty.

A professor believes that the ancestors of American Indians are likely to be descendants of Asians. "

"Wait a minute, I'll search the Internet."

The fat man took out his mobile phone, searched the Internet and replied: "That's not right!

It stands to reason that the capital of the Inca Empire is in Cusco, which belongs to the Alpine Basin area.

So why is the fountain of youth in the Amazon jungle now? "

"The Internet is just superficial knowledge, mainly blogging, but not refined, and some unacknowledged claims will not be put on the Internet.

It's no use asking for historians if everything can be searched online. "

Ye Feng said: "The entire territory of the Inca Empire spans Peru and Bolivia, with a mountain climate and a tropical rainforest climate.

When the Inca king was killed by the Spaniards, his younger brother Huascal inherited the throne and continued to fight against the invaders, but was later defeated, so he retreated to the rainforest with a large amount of gold and people from the empire, and abandoned the capital Cuzco.

This is why Inca ruins can also be found in the Peruvian jungle.

The Nabawangyin, I guess, may have been passed down from generation to generation by the Incas as a relic of their ancestors when they traveled across the ocean to the American continent with the descendants of the Yin people.

Because the Indians did not have an advanced manufacturing process when Columbus landed on the American continent, it would be a bit far-fetched to say that they were the ones who made the seal. "

"I still don't understand, what does this have to do with the Mayan civilization?" The fat man said, "You've been going around, but you haven't left the Inca civilization?
And if the Overlord Seal is the key to heaven, how could it be an imported product of our ancestors? "

"Inca civilization, Mayan civilization and Aztec civilization are called the three major civilizations in South America. The entire Inca Empire has gone through seven centuries, fourteen monarchs, and the Inca Empire at its peak had a vast territory and a population of 1200 million.

The Incas even built the world-famous Inca road network on the Andes at an average altitude of more than 4000 meters.

It is such a wonderful work in the history of human civilization, but it was destroyed under the iron hooves of Spanish colonists in the [-]th century AD.

The most famous legends about the Inca Empire are the House of Gold and the Fountain of Youth.

The former is evidenced by relevant documents recorded by historians. In January 1531, the Spanish colonist Francisco Pizarro led a cavalry team equipped with muskets and cannons to ambush the then Inca king Atahualpa.

In order to save his life, the Inca king told Pizarro that if he was released, he would fill the room where he was imprisoned with gold.

According to later research by archaeologists, the ransom room where Atahualpa was held was 3 meters high, 6 meters wide, and 7 meters long.

In order to redeem their king, the Incas spent three months and raised 13265 pounds of gold from all over the country to pile up the empty house.

It is a pity that the colonists later betrayed their faith and killed Atahualpa. When the Inca king was dying, he made a poisonous curse on the sun god Inti, so that all the colonists who had touched the ransom would have a terrible death.

Unfortunately, the gods did not seem to hear his curse. In November 1533, the clutches of the invaders reached Cusco, the ancient capital of the Inca Empire. The ancient civilization of mankind was destroyed in the most brutal and ruthless way, and has since disappeared into the torrent of history.

The legend about the Fountain of Youth is even more mysterious.

As I just said, the Incas worshiped the sun god, and the logic of all ruling classes is the same. The Inca king is naturally the "son of the sun", and the emperor's order was given by heaven.

It doesn't matter, the most terrible thing is the first Inca King Manco Capac recorded in the epic. This kid is not only the son of God, but also the golden staff bestowed by his father, the sun god.

Legend has it that the Incas were still a barren land at that time, and the sun god planned to send his son Capac and daughter Mama Oklovako to eradicate illiteracy for mankind.

And he said a trick, that is to poke the ground with the golden staff given to him by the sun god, and the place that hits the ground with one poke is the treasured land of geomantic omen, where the dragon's veins are.

Establishing a capital there can ensure the eternal well-being of future generations. "

"Long before the Spanish colonists arrived on the American continent, legends about the Fountain of Youth had emerged endlessly.

The most famous is the voyage diary of the Spanish explorer Juan Poncedrian, in which he recorded in detail how they found the holy spring in the tribe of the Incas. Appears after the rod was last inserted into the ground.

It can make dead trees sprout, dead birds and beasts can be resurrected, and old people who have lost their youth can regain their youth just by soaking in the spring.

Later, the German court painter also drew a famous "Fountain Goddess" according to this legend, which is now collected in the Leipzig Museum.

Did you hear something? "

Ye Feng looked at the fat man and asked.
