There are many mysterious countries in the world, among which Machu Picchu in Peru is one of them.
Machu Picchu is a famous ancient city in Peru and one of the top ten archaeological sites in the world.
Many items left over from ancient humans have been unearthed here, and there are still many mysterious civilization remains.
But the appearance of the ancient city of Machu Picchu did not bring us too many surprises, because a number of precious cultural relics were unearthed in the ruins of the city of Machu Picchu, which looked very different from human beings from the outside.
Why is that? Is it because there have been aliens here?
The legend of Machu Picchu
It is said that a long time ago, there was a king, his name was Machu Picchu, he was a very famous king, he was very fond of traveling, loved to go to some very beautiful places.
One day, he came to Machu Picchu, in Peru, and he saw that it was beautiful and very suitable for living. So he decided to settle here, and he built a lot of houses here.
Later, Machu Picchu was discovered by the locals, who wanted to tear it down.
However, the inhabitants of Machu Picchu did not agree with this approach, they felt that Machu Picchu was very important and a very valuable ancient city.
So they decided to have a contest with the inhabitants of this ancient city. Unexpectedly, the inhabitants of Machu Picchu were so united that they took up arms and fought against these invaders.
In the end, these invaders were defeated.
Later, people found a lot of valuable things from this battle.
One of the stones had some strange symbols and words carved into it, which caught people's attention.
They want to know what the hell is this? Later, people brought the stone back to their home countries for research.
Mayan culture
There is also a very mysterious legend about the ancient city of Machu Picchu.
It is said that a Mayan tribe lived near the ancient city of Machu Picchu.
The leader of this tribe led his people to the ancient city of Machu Picchu and spread the civilization throughout the Maya region.
Although the Maya at that time did not know whether a civilized country really existed in the place where they lived, they still chose this country as the birthplace of their civilization.
However, this incident was a legend in the eyes of the Mayans themselves, and there was no conclusive evidence to prove it.
Although the Maya believed in this legend, they could not prove it.
Until now, people have not found any evidence that the ancient city of Machu Picchu existed in a civilized state, which also makes people more curious about this civilized country.
Mysterious Mayan calendar
The Maya civilization is a very mysterious civilization, they have a very long history, and the Maya civilization is also very famous for its research on astronomy.
The Maya discovered the relationship between the Earth and the Moon, and they also discovered that many buildings and patterns on Earth were related to astronomy.
The Maya also calculated the distance between the sun and the earth through astronomical calendars, which shocked people because it was a calendar that was completely beyond the scope of human understanding at the time.
The Maya have achieved remarkable results in studying astronomy, so they have a very deep understanding of time and space, and can even accurately calculate some very accurate time.
But the Maya civilization also had a lot of problems in its development, and they once went extinct around 1000 AD, which makes people think that the Maya may have been wiped out by aliens.
So how did Peru, a once-glorious civilization, disappear?
Strange symbols on the fresco
In the murals of the ancient city of Machu Picchu, there are a lot of strange symbols, what do these strange symbols mean? Is there any special meaning? Let's find out.
Many frescoes have been found in the ruins of the ancient city of Machu Picchu, and the strange symbols that appear on these murals are very similar to many of the strange symbols we see today.
In these murals, some people also wear hats and blindfolds, and their eyes also look very strange.
The most puzzling thing is that the strange symbols on these murals in the ancient city of Machu Picchu are made of "earth", which is incomprehensible.
According to records, the ancient city of Machu Picchu is a "city of the sun", and there are other cities in this city of the sun besides Machu Picchu, but these cities have disappeared, leaving only the ancient city of Machu Picchu.
Since this city of the sun is made of "earth", why are there so many strange symbols?
And these symbols have nothing to do with the strange symbols we see now, and these symbols are also related to the disappearance of the city of Machu Picchu.
Why the ancient city disappeared
Although the ancient city of Machu Picchu has many secrets, why did it disappear?
This question has always puzzled scientists. Scientists believe that the disappearance of the ancient city of Machu Picchu may be related to a terrible volcanic eruption, the cause of which has not yet been explained.
What is known is that the city had already experienced a very serious disaster before the eruption.
According to the research of the people involved, the city was very badly damaged in a major earthquake that occurred in 1533.
After the earthquake, the city experienced a large number of cracks and collapses.
However, it is also believed that the earthquake was not the main reason for the disappearance of the ancient city of Machu Picchu. Because at that time, a violent volcanic eruption occurred in Peru.
The eruption didn't last long, and when people tried to find out what caused it, they found that the volcano had disappeared.
But others believe that this is just a small disaster caused by a simple earthquake.
Mysterious frescoes
A mysterious mural was also found in the ruins of Machu Picchu, which made a great impression.
Because the mural depicts some human-looking animals, their eyes are also very large and they also emit light.
Under the study of archaeologists, they discovered the contents of the fresco.
The mural depicts human-looking animals with animal-like fangs and huge wings.
These animals look very much like a bird or a reptile.
Archaeological experts have found that the content of the mural is likely related to an ancient local civilization, because the animals depicted on the mural were all seen by the Americans.
But what civilization appeared here before the Americas? What is depicted on this mural?
The reason for the disappearance of ancient civilizations
Although no one can say exactly what caused Peru's ancient civilization to disappear, in the opinion of archaeologists.
The development of human civilization is actually like a big wheel, rolling forward, and only when the wheel stops, a new wheel will appear.
Human civilization is the same, constantly moving forward, and after a certain extent, it will encounter bottlenecks.
Some scientists believe that Machu Picchu suddenly disappeared because of a terrible plague in Peru at that time.
This plague caused a large number of deaths, and when the number reached a certain number, a series of problems such as resource depletion and land degradation began to occur.
And when the problem becomes more and more serious, it will lead to social turmoil, and then civilization will disappear.
Many of the artifacts in the ancient city of Machu Picchu are well preserved.
They not only recorded what happened in society and what people did, but also the tools that people used at that time.
These artifacts are like an encyclopedia that helps us understand what happened in the past.
