Seeing that he smiled calmly, his white teeth showed his gentleness, which was very different from the extremely vicious Indians in the white films. Suddenly, he thought of an ancient legend and said, "We Han people and you Mayans have black eyes and black hair. We must have been compatriots millions of years ago. If you come to our continent, you will regard this place as your homeland and your own home. You don't need to be so restrained."

The leader of the Mayan people, Chamo, asked in surprise: "I wonder why do you think that we Mayans were compatriots with you Han people tens of thousands of years ago, just by looking similar? You must know that there is a sea that is tens of thousands of miles apart between us?"

Lu Bu smiled and spread out the world map he had drawn himself and pointed to the direction of the Bering Sea: "Look here, this is called the Bering Strait. At the northeast end of our central continent, the other end of the Bering Strait is the northwest end of your Mayan continent. The average width of this strait is only more than 130 miles, and the narrowest part is only more than 70 miles. There are two small islands in between, and the two small islands are only eight miles apart. This strait is very shallow, with an average depth of only more than ten meters. As long as the sea surface drops by more than ten meters, the land can be exposed.

Thousands of years ago, it was the Ice Age. The world became colder, the sea surface fell thirty or forty feet, and the water depth was only ten feet, and the sea surface was exposed. Therefore, a land bridge was exposed, connecting our two continents and becoming a natural channel for the continent. At that time, our continent was in the ice age, with a very cold climate and glaciers. Not only did the mainland of your continent have no glaciers, but the climate was mild and the food was rich. Mammoths, elephants, musk ox, moose, sheep and many other animals lived there. At that time, among our common ancestors, some of them hunted mammoths and deer for a living, they followed these animals through the Bering Strait continental bridge to your continent and became the ancestors of your continent. Then, due to the melting of the glaciers, the sea surface rose, and the rolling waves flooded the continental bridge again, and isolated the connection between the two continents, making you the most indigenous people of the Mayan continent."

There were many things in Lu Bu's words that made Chamo puzzled, so Qin Yi translated him. In the end, Chamo understood, but he was confused and said: "Sir, you are just guessing out of thin air, I don't believe it."

Lu Bu also ordered people to show the oracle bone inscriptions from the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties to Chamo: "Look, are the words of our common ancestors very similar to yours at that time? Are they very similar?"

The bag-foot jar and three-legged pottery cauldron engraved with oracle bone inscriptions that Lu Bu showed to Chamo not only reminded Chamo of their unique hieroglyphs, but also reminded him of their unique four-poster jar and three-postered pillar painted pottery.

Chamo was initially convinced, and Lu Bu showed Chamo the pattern of the totem dragon of the Han Dynasty: "Look. Do our dragons in the Han Dynasty look very similar to the feathered snake god you worship?"

The Mayan feathered snake god is named Kukulkan, which is the God of Rain related to sowing and harvest in Mayan culture. The God of Feathered snake comes with the rainy season. The rainy season coincides with the time when Mayans grow corn, so the God of Feathered snake has become the most respected god of Mayan farmers. In the largest ancient city of Mayan, there is a pyramid named after Kukulkan. There are two snake heads on the north side of the pyramid on both bottom corners. Every year when the sun sets on the spring and autumn equinoxes, you can see the shadows of the snake head projecting on the ground and many triangles are connected together, forming a very dynamic flying snake. According to the Mayan legend, It is said that this symbolizes the arrival and ascension of the Feathered Snake God in the past two days. The image of the Feathered Snake God is indeed somewhat similar to the dragon invented by the Chinese, which is a cow head, deer antler, snake body, fish scales, tiger claws and long whiskers, and can fly on clouds and mist. The head portrait of the Feathered Snake God on the Mayan murals and the carvings of the snake heads held by the Mayan priests are also close to the shape of the dragon head. In addition, the Feathered Snake God and the worship of the Chinese dragons are related to praying for rain. Based on these evidences, this speculation is widely circulated among some scholars in China, Mexico, Guatemala and even European and American countries: the Mayan snake God was a Chinese dragon brought by the Chinese during the Shang Dynasty.

Chamo was stunned when he saw the Dragon Queen of China. He began to believe in Lu Bu's words. On the way from the newly built Tianjin Port to Yecheng, he saw the rich and prosperous life of the Han Dynasty. He was very envious and respectful. He willingly claimed to be a descendant of China.

Lu Bu was not fooling Chamo, what he said was based on scientific research.

Paleogeography research provides a basis for the hypothesis that "the Asian race migrates to American states and the Mayans are descendants of the Han people."

The Mayan civilization was the most advanced Neolithic civilization in ancient America. But so far, only traces of human activities after the late Paleolithic period have been found in the Americas, which seems to be explained by the migration of humans from other places in the Americas.

One hypothesis believes that this human is from Europe, but this hypothesis lacks a strong basis: In the late Paleolithic Age, Greenland, the northern channel of Europe, was covered by a large area of ​​glaciers. Humans could not choose this path; and the Caspian Sea, the only place leading from Europe to Asia, also increased its area due to sea invasions, thus separating Eurasia. The most important thing is that the appearance of Europeans is too different from that of Mayans.

Another hypothesis believes that this human being comes from Asia, and the channel is the Bering Strait, which is now the United States and the width of Asia is only 90 kilometers. It is estimated that 35,000 years ago, the sea level on the earth once dropped, and the Bering Strait, which has a water depth of only nearly 40 meters, was exposed to the seabed, becoming a land of more than 1,500 kilometers wide. This land is called "Bering and Asia" in paleogeography. Since then, sea levels have rebounded, but fell again from 25,000 to 12,000 years ago, reopening this channel. Such a wide channel may be the first human beings to embark on the American continent.

In addition, extending from North China to North China, through the Bering Strait and until North America, a Paleolithic artificial tool was found in this area: a wedge-shaped stone core. This stone core is a tool for making stone slabs. This process appeared in North China, about 30,000 years ago. The more you go east along the above route, the later you appear. At that time, the possibility of communication between different races was very small, so it was more like the result of a human migrating eastward with this technology.

From an ethnographic perspective, Chinese people belong to the more typical Mongolian race: their hair is black, thick and straight; their body hair is very rare; their buttocks have sacral pigment spots; their eye fissures are narrow, and most people have inner canthus wrinkles located at the inner corner of the eye. The Mongolian race is now distributed in Siberia, Mongolia, East Asia, South Asia, and the Pacific Islands, and another important distribution area is America. Although American Indians have major mutations, they can still be considered to be in the same group as the Mongolian race. As for the Mayans, they not only have the unique characteristics of Mongolian races such as inner canthus wrinkles, juvenile sacral pigment spots, and fewer body hair, but also the palm lines of the Mayans and the Chinese are very similar.

In addition, Chinese culture and Mayan culture have a similar symbol. The "some" shape has very important symbolic significance in Chinese culture. The floor plan of the Mingtang ancestral temple is the "some" shape, and the floor plan of the Yinxu tomb pit is also the "some" shape. The "some" shape symbol also appears in Mayan culture. Moreover, this symbol is composed of four square corners and four "Trees of the Universe". In contrast, the Mingtang, the ancestral temple of China, as a communication place between heaven and earth, also symbolizes the "some" shape in the four corners of the square.

Despite various archaeological, paleogeography and ethnographic evidence, in the 21st century when Lu Bu came from, more traditional archaeologists who studied the Mayans still tend to believe that the possibility of China and the Mayans having the same ancestor does exist, but they are more likely to have a common source in the era ten thousand years ago or even longer. China's 5,000-year civilization and 3,000-year Mayan culture still have their own spans. In the past few thousand years that are different, the two cultures are likely to have experienced completely different development trajectories.

Lu Bu now felt it from Chamo's excited expression that because the Han civilization is in the Iron Age, which is far more advanced than the Mayan Stone Age. The Mayans have a sense of identity and belonging to the Han culture, just like many Westerners who were originally from barbaric civilizations think they are descendants of the Greek and Romans. So no matter what history is like, now that the Chinese Han people have discovered the Mayans, the Mayans must merge with the Chinese.

Chamo told Lubu about the history of their Mayans. Their Mayan ancestors walked south from the northernmost end of the Mayan continent, which was consistent with Lubu's speculation. More than two thousand years ago, the Mayans followed the grassy bison and came to the central part of the Mayan continent. The climate was warm and the Mayans began to grow corn.

More than a thousand years ago, the Mayan groups merged together to form a common culture, agriculture developed, and they began to live a settlement life. Later, several city-states were established, which produced social hierarchies, divided into nobles and civilians. Nobles included tribal chiefs, priests, officials and merchants, civilians included craftsmen, peasants and slaves, and decentralized governance was implemented. The chiefs were in charge of several central city-states, and rural residents formed communes.

The Mayans promoted nature worship, especially the "Sun God" and "Rain God". They used the patron saint "Ichamna" as the highest god, engaged in slash-and-burn agriculture, planted corn, beans, pumpkins and root plants, raised turkeys and dogs, used hieroglyphs, created calendars, invented 20-carrying methods, made pottery, sculptures, and painting, and used arch construction techniques to build trapezoidal pyramids, palaces, arches, etc.

There are nearly 14 million Mayans today, almost reaching the peak of the development of the ancient Mayans. There are more than 40 cities, each with 5,000 to 50,000 people. The main cities include Tikal, Wahakton, Copan, Bonapark, Double Pillar City, etc. These cities are cities with temples, pyramids, palaces, playing fields and squares.

Most of the Mayans worked in farming and planted corn, pumpkins and beans. Like the Han Dynasty, the Mayan cities were basically residents of nobles or tribal nobles, and most of the farmers lived in villages built on the terrain.

ps: The Mayans are the same descendants of the Chinese. Do you agree?
