Chapter 277 Interesting
If you want to find the original chili, you have to find the Cave Mayans.

To find a cave, of course it is in the mountains.

It's just that, after crossing the national border, it enters the coastal plain of Guatemala, not the mountains.

Fang Hong didn't go east to the mountains immediately, but went west to the coastal plain.

On the cliff more than ten meters high, there are rare coastal Mayan buildings, and further inland is a flat forest, in which stands the Pyramid of Kukulkan, the Feathered Serpent God, the Temple of Heaven, and the The tombs of the kings of the most glorious era of the Maya.

Since you want to choose a route, of course you should go to the coast first, and then go all the way to the mountains. After all, it is the closest, and you can also put the original pepper, which is the main event, behind.

But just arrived at the coast, looking at the two Mayan buildings with no tourists from a distance, Fang Hong was stunned.

"Mexico once had the only ancient Mayan seaside city in the world, but it was destroyed due to the arrival of some people."

In fact, more legendary things about the Maya are in Mexico, or in other words, all the things that people know about are in Mexico, because we have not established diplomatic relations with Guatemala.

It is rumored that the underground of the capital of Mexico used to be a big Mayan city, and it was so mysterious that it was known as the Golden City and had endless treasures.

The Mayans just retreated, and it wasn't that their IQs became lower. They were really made of gold, so they could stay where they were and wait for the wind and sand to bury them?

Only two stone rooms remained of that seaside city, and the rest was reduced to rubble.

And here, there are also two buildings, but there are only two buildings in it, and they have not been destroyed.

"Do you know why Mexico once had an ancient seaside city, while El Salvador, the birthplace of the Maya, and Guatemala, the ruling center of the most glorious era of the Maya, did not? The reason lies in the sea."

A sea wave that absolutely exceeds the height of the cliff, surging crazily, the white wave line seems to be advancing from the horizon, and the left and right ends are invisible.

It wasn't some amazing super wave, not the kind of challenge that risk-seekers, pro surfers yearn for, but a catastrophe.

For a surfer, getting into the break from one place and then sprinting out from the tail is a complete challenge.

However, no one in the world can challenge this wave.

Because this wave is called a tsunami.

A tsunami is a destructive wave produced by submarine earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, submarine landslides or meteorological changes. The wave speed of a tsunami is as high as 700-800 kilometers per hour, and it can cross the ocean in a few hours; It travels for thousands of kilometers with very little energy loss; in the vast ocean, the wave height is less than one meter, but when it reaches the shallow coastal waters, the wavelength is shortened and the wave height increases sharply, up to tens of meters, forming a "water wall" containing huge energy. ".

The tsunami is mainly controlled by the seabed topography, coastline geometry and wave characteristics. The howling wave ice wall repeats every few minutes or tens of minutes, destroying the embankment, submerging the land, taking lives and property, and causing great damage.The global tsunami generation area roughly coincides with the earthquake zone.There are about 10 destructive tsunamis recorded in the world, which occur once every six or seven years on average.Earthquakes and tsunamis that occur in the Pacific Rim account for about 260%.

"There are many types of tsunamis. They include tsunamis caused by the uplift of the earth's crust, distant sea tsunamis and local tsunamis."

The tsunami caused by the change of the earth's crust is absolutely catastrophic, sweeping everything, but they can be found, such as the tsunami caused by the decline of the earth's crust, which will initially cause the coast to ebb.

Anyone who knows the ocean knows that the tide rises and falls once or twice a day, and the time is fixed. If there is an inexplicable low tide that does not match the time, it is not caused by the gravity of the moon, but a tsunami.

In contrast, the tsunami caused by the uplift of the earth's crust will see the same scene as the high tide at the beginning.

The remote sea tsunami is a very special kind, such as the Chilean earthquake, the tsunami can pass through the entire Pacific Ocean and land in Japan.

But the scariest thing is the last one with the least power.

The local tsunami is caused by an offshore earthquake. The sudden tsunami is unpredictable and there is no way to make a corresponding retreat.

Fortunately, this time, there were no waves of tens of meters. Otherwise, it would be easy to advance a few kilometers into the land.

The wave height of this tsunami was 18 meters and the speed was [-] kilometers per hour.

"This tsunami should have been caused by an offshore earthquake, and it should be related to the major earthquake, but I don't know if it was the aftermath of that earthquake or another aftershock."

The truth of the matter is simple, there was an aftershock at sea, and the distance made it impossible to feel it on land, so there was no warning for this tsunami.

18 meters, eight meters higher than the cliff on the coast, and retreated straight, Fang Hong turned around and ran: "My Cao, if this is hit, all the bones in the whole body will be broken!"

"This is why there are no Mayan ruins on the coast of Guatemala and El Salvador. The Mayans are not stupid enough to live in a place where they are shot to death by water at any time. Even if they are so stupid, they will be shot to death, so the country of volcanoes does not exist near the sea. Ancient ruins."

Fang Hong climbed up the rocky mountain, which was not very high, but far more than eight meters.

This position is higher and can be seen more clearly.

The gray-white Mayan ruins glow with a white halo under the sun, and the white waves look strange in the sunlight close to the setting sun. The golden wave line distinguishes the boundary between the tsunami and the sky.

The waves pushed forward and beat on the shore in an instant.

"Boom!" It was deafening, ten times the sound that Fang Hong had ever experienced under the waterfall.

This is not a beach that climbs up, but a cliff composed of a whole rock. The tsunami is like thousands of trains hitting the mountain at the same time at full speed.

That instant trembling feeling is not at all the same as an earthquake.

"Brother Gun is indeed a god of mildew, and I actually saw a tsunami?"

Have you ever seen sea water rushing back to land like a flood?
Fang Hong looked at the scene in front of him, as if he saw a big river bursting its embankment and flooding.

After going ashore, the sea water was not so fast, but it looked extremely turbid, like mud.

When the first wave hit the shore, it stirred up a big wave, but it didn't wash ashore, but the second wave and the third wave were exaggerated.

Especially the third wave, the obvious wall-like waves surged ashore, menacing.

I don't know if it lost the follow-up momentum, and it slowed down after landing, just like the feeling of flood flowing through a flat area.

However, Fang Hong didn't feel that it was very fast until the sea water approached the rocky mountain.

It looked slow before, all because of the illusion of being far away.

The sea water seems to rise directly from the foothills of the stone mountains.

"So, if you look at the two strong Mayan ruins, you don't need to go to see them. I guess they are their sea temple or water temple."

Unlike Tianshen, Seashen didn't leave a name, maybe they felt that Seashen was not suitable for their wave and was not friendly to them, so they didn't want to think of a friendly name for him.

As the saying goes, the flood washed away the Dragon King Temple.

The sea likes to show its power, so people build temples on the coast. You can't even destroy your own temple, right?

In fact, there is an interesting wisdom in it.

If there are many people living on a [-]-kilometer-long coastline, these people will build a temple, one for [-] kilometers.

Times have changed, ten years have passed, nine of them have been flooded, and one is still there. Do you think these people don't know where to live?

According to the public, those nine dragon gods are all fake dragon gods, but this one is real.

The god stick said, God allows you to live in this place, but not in other places, and you will not accept offerings.

The ruler said, this idiot god, his own temple is also charged, and he is so cruel to himself, so I don't want to provoke it anymore.

Everything the ancestors in history did is meaningful. Don’t think that modern science is so awesome. The so-called practice brings true knowledge, and the so-called time is the only criterion for testing truth. The temple is the result of practice. , does not require scientific explanation.
