Mayan culture originated in Sanxingdui? U.S. experts say kneeling portraits may be evidence

When it comes to Sanxingdui, the world can't help but sigh, saying that in the 6 newly discovered sacrificial pits of Sanxingdui, more than 2,000 cultural relics have been found, but not a single text has been found. The lack of documentary materials makes it difficult for experts to interpret those strange bronzes. Recently, American experts have proposed that the legends of Cang, Yu, and Qi in the Classic of Mountains and Seas are highly consistent with the legends of Turtle Spirit, Du Yu, and Enlightenment handed down from Shudi.

Therefore, they believe that the Classic of Mountains and Seas is likely to have been written by the ancestors of the ancient Shu Kingdom. Thinking along this line of thought, experts found that the records of Shandong and other places in the Classic of Mountains and Seas are very inaccurate, but the records of the Chengdu Plain are very detailed and full of praise, and even call it the world. Therefore, the Chinese scholar Professor Duan Yu believes that the Classic of Mountains and Seas should come from the old files of the Shu royal family. And Sanxingdui is the most typical archaeological discovery of the People of the Guanghan Plain.

Therefore, when studying Sanxingdui, we can refer to the Classic of Mountains and Seas. In fact, some American experts have found that the overseas longitude section of the Classic of Mountains and Seas, which describes the direction of rivers and mountains, is highly overlapping with the direction of rivers and mountains in the Americas. In addition, there are some animals and plants that are suspected to be unique to the Americas in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", so the author of the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" must have had contact with American civilization. As has been argued above, the Classic of Mountains and Seas can be used to study Sanxingdui, and it is even possible that this book was originally written by the ancestors of Sanxingdui.

Therefore, the Sanxingdui civilization is likely to be related to the American civilization. Coincidentally, in May this year, in the No. 4 pit of Sanxingdui, three bronze figures of kneeling with their heads turned in their heads were newly developed. American experts found that the three figures were slightly folded with their hands together, in a flat shape, as if they were holding a heavy object. Since the portrait is located at the bottom of the artifact and acts as a base, experts speculate that its identity may be that of a slave.

In the bronzes of The Pre-Qin Period in China, we have never found this shape. Even in paintings or documents, there is never a use of people as a pedestal. In contrast, in maya culture, experts have seen similar murals. As a result, American experts said that kneeling portraits may be evidence that Mayan culture originated in Sanxingdui. In addition, American experts found the pattern of sugar cane or silkworm in the murals and sculptures of maya culture, and this pattern also appeared on the "Anyang Huaxia Ding".

The latter is likely to resemble the "heavy object" that the three kneeling bronze figures are holding. In fact, according to American experts, the ornamentation on the bronze man of Sanxingdui is very similar to the pattern on Mayan architecture! As a result, American experts believe that Sanxingdui may be related to the origin of Mayan culture! As for how the Ancestors of Sanxingdui crossed the Bering Strait to the Americas and gave birth to the Mayan civilization, due to the lack of corresponding archaeological evidence, it is still an unsolved mystery.
