Travel to Mexico, Mayan ruins is a must-read.There are three major Maya ruins in Mexico - Chichen Itza, Uxmal, and Palenque.
Qi QinIca, the 5th century AD to the 7th century the prosperity of the 7th century have been abandoned; in the 10th century renaissance, 11 to 13 centuries of civilization reached its peak, the 15th century destroyed.
Uxmal, the 7th century to the 10th century, the heyday of the Mayan culture to become representative.AD 10th century abandoned.
Palenque, as the peak period of the 7th century, 10 century abandoned.
ancient Mayan ruins are the three world cultural heritage.Chichen Itza's visibility in the world bigger than the Great Wall of China, Uxmal, and Palenque are very few people cicada.
Uxmal: ninja style
compared with Chichen Itza, Uxmal more like a hermit, it hides deep in forests.Stood overlooking the pyramid, and then people will have a humble king's vision.Boundless earth, Win in Chernical?
Uxmal is the most striking sign of up to 38 meters Soothsayer pyramid, Chichen Itza than the angular Kukulcanpyramid, oval-shaped pyramid prognosticator both Qiyuxuanang, another feminine beauty.Since ancient times, each time a story has a love of the people who compiled the story of the pyramid for the Soothsayer more outrageous, saying that it's a soothsayer named Faiz wood to build it overnight.
while the reality is that thousands of used strong craftsman, not half a year I am afraid that the scrapping of the pyramid.Love the woman was injured, said the men do not always reliable and, in fact, the least reliable is the history written in black and white.
pyramid, connecting with the soothsayer is five temples, the most impressive is the nun temple.Appeared in the Mayan ruins such as name, I felt very awkward.However, as this piece is the Spanish discovered the site, so the limited imagination that they feel that this piece a bit like a monastery courtyard, it randomly plays a totally unrelated name.Archaeologists study found that this building is actually a school in the Mayan, cultivation of religion, medicine, astronomy, mathematics and other professionals.
temple corridor in my sisters sat for a long time for two reasons:First, stroll tired, rest a while here; second is here, too beautiful, nuns temple with its rigorous, concise, solemn and famous.Whether it is a magnificent building momentum, or the details of the carved, can provide a sense of the millennium before the Mayan superb skills and wisdom of force.
I do not care that the school has trained many people, they had to have made any contribution to the Mayan civilization.I like looking at this piece has been quietly busy at another silent ruins of the millennium, to their own personal lives, and think my youthful vanity and Ji Xing in the former frivolous, like the years I have been roaming in the Picking and lost, I seem toheard the warning of life I do not know from the Mayan gods or the gods of China.
I was very surprised to find that Uxmal and Chichen Itza showing the rise and fall one after another regularity.When the Chichen Itza began to decline from the 7th century AD, when the Uxmal Mayan became the Yucatan region's largest city and religious center, the resident population of around 25,000; in Uxmal flourished three centuries later, to 10century has been abandoned, the Chichen Itza a substantial increase in the population, they began to have grown strong.This is the ancient Mayan city of two well-known whether the same strain do?Maya has a custom support this view, it is the ancient Mayan calendar on a regular basis will be based on moving the capital.
Xia Xiang for a while in the Sisters of the temple, I crossed an ancient stadiumto ranked 180 meters long, 153 meters wide and 12 meters high altar at the base of the Governor's Palace walked.Clearly, the Governor's Palace is also the Spanish name of this play, and a bit boring, but also had to continue to do so termed.
Governor's palace there are many large rooms should be the Mayan nobility residence or administrative body location of the geometric patterns facade mosaics are the most prominentMayan architectural decoration, which is more than 20,000 pieces through the combination of cut stone mosaic made of this kind of pattern like the Central American textile fabrics popular patterns.
in the Governor's Palace, near the heap of rocks, I still see the huge stationary lizard.Uxmal is the gray lizard, reptiles are said to have" Chameleon" reputation, the environment is what color, what color it becomes.
lizard camouflage color and a long time do not hold your breath move, not only reduces the risk of their own, but also so that it can attack their prey by surprise greatlyincrease the success rate of predators.Lizard is an ancient animal, its ancestors have witnessed the ancient Mayan astronomical observations of piety, the school's burning the midnight oil night reading, aristocratic residence inside the pains and sorrows ... ...
When everything is quiet down when the lizards found in IQ than it is vulnerable in many of the Maya, or that less of the nature of biological obtain more tenacious, the more likely long-term survival.The desire of the human world there are too many uncontrollable ah yes, always to the environmental pollution caused by drinking water can not drink before going to management, has always gone to be recovered will be known when they are at fault, and always know how to go back to the end of his rope whena look at ... ...
