Palenque is located in Chiapas, Mexico, close to the Guatemala border. It was one of the most important city-states in the classical period (before the 9th century) and a typical Maya civilization site. It was built in the 1st century BC. The peak period of the city's development was between 600 and 700 AD. Most of the ancient buildings that have been preserved so far were built during this period. It is known as the "Athens of America".
In 800 AD, unexpected things happened in the city of Palenque. City residents suddenly disappeared. Some families still had pots filled with food on their stoves. Plows plowing the land were lying upside down in the suburban fields. Urban construction also continued. It was interrupted naturally. By the 10th century AD, the city of Palenque was completely abandoned. Submerged in the tropical rainforest, it was not discovered by Spanish colonists until the 19th century.
The discovery of the tomb of King Bagal of Palenque under a pyramid in 1952 shocked the world. The picture engraved on the front of the king's coffin shows a man on his back with his hands slightly clasped, leaning forward, and an astronaut. The sitting posture in the manned spacecraft is surprisingly similar, and there is a flame texture at the bottom of the picture, which is very similar to the picture of a rocket igniting when it rises! The whole painting depicts the scene of a manned aircraft taking off!
The explanation of the archaeological community at that time was that this was a drawing that fully demonstrated the imagination of the Mayans. Since the 1960s, the two major powers, the United States and the Soviet Union, have competed to launch various space rockets, manned and unmanned space vehicles, and frequently shuttled through space. When photos of astronauts walking on the moon and in space were sent back to the ground, people were shocked: the picture of Palenque, instead of depicting ancient mythology, was clearly a picture of astronauts flying in space in a craft.
It is said that when the photos of this work were sent to the U.S. Space Center, the experts involved in the development of space equipment all exclaimed in surprise: "Amazing! This is an ancient spacecraft!"
The research, design, and design of space rockets Manufacturing and use is a high-tech industry that occurred in the twentieth century and was owned by a few countries with high technological levels. However, if it were said that the design drawings of space rockets were discovered as early as ancient times, then people would definitely think that it was a fantasy or that the person was talking in his sleep during the day. This may seem unbelievable, but it is a solid fact.
As a result, some scholars have put forward a bold idea: in distant ancient times, a group of highly civilized alien intelligent life forms may have come to the tropical jungles of America. They were respected as "gods" by the Maya people. Amidst the worshipful welcome, he stepped out of the spaceship and taught the Mayans in the primitive era various advanced knowledge, such as astronomy, calendar, farming, etc., and showed them his delivery vehicles. Afterwards, they drifted away again.
When the aliens left, they may have promised the Mayans to revisit their old places. As a result, a vigorous boom in building pyramids began in the tropical jungles of America. According to their own understanding, they built foreign wisdom and their own beauty and tradition into the pyramid. They wanted to use this huge stone building to welcome the return of the "god". They carved everything they saw on the stone slabs - the carvings on the Palenque stone slabs were the Mayans' descriptions of alien astronauts. of copying.
However, the pyramids were repaired and the stone carvings were carved. On the days when the Mayan priests predicted the return of the gods, those "gods" did not return. Generations after generations of people have stood by the pyramids. This directly led to the Maya's loss of confidence in their religion and the rule of priests , which in turn caused the psychological collapse of the entire nation. Finally, people left their hometowns one by one and dispersed. Mayan culture just disappeared.
There are many other theories, but they are all very similar. The common point is that the ancestors of the ancient Mayans mastered the space rocket technology that modern people did not invent until the 20th century. Therefore, it is self-evident that the technological level of the Mayans is significantly higher than that of the people on earth.
However, all speculations are still speculations. No one can draw a conclusion. The real answer can only be an eternal mystery to be solved.
