North latitude 31 has been synonymous with mystery since ancient times. In this mysterious area, there are ten natural and man-made wonders such as the pyramids, the Bermuda Triangle, Mount Everest, the Hanging Gardens, and the Dead Sea. It runs through the four ancient civilizations. Near this latitude are the mysterious Bermuda Triangle, the famous Egyptian pyramids, the legendary sunken Atlantis, and the world's highest peak, Mount Everest... full of mystery, weirdness, psychedelic, and weirdness...
1. Mayan civilization:
The Mayan civilization was once the most splendid and one of the most mysterious civilizations on earth. The high prosperity of technology and culture once brought immeasurable wealth and power to the Maya people. Before Columbus discovered the American continent, this great and mysterious nation had already disappeared en masse.
The development of the Mayan civilization went through approximately three stages. The first stage lasted from the 1st century BC to the 4th century AD. During this period, the Mayans had begun to form slave city-states. The second stage lasted from the 4th century to the 9th century AD, when the slave city-states developed further. Around AD 900, the Mayans suddenly abandoned their original city-state and moved to the northern Yucatan Peninsula. The third stage was from the 10th to the 15th century AD. The Mayans who moved to the Yucatan Peninsula re-established the city-state. It was once very prosperous and powerful, but it did not last long and soon declined again.
The Mayans were far more civilized in digital attainments than any other civilization on earth, including China, Egypt, etc. The 20-carry counting method created by the Mayans can be used for numerical calculations 4 million years later. Such huge astronomical numbers are only used in modern interstellar navigation and measuring distances in the starry sky. Why did the Mayans master it thousands of years ago? Got this skill? Writing alone has left other civilizations far behind. The hieroglyphics created by the Mayans had reached unparalleled maturity and sophistication in BC. More than 2,500 large characters were engraved on the steps of one pyramid alone. This was an amazing feat at the time!
In the Mayan concept, death is not the end of life, but the beginning of a new journey. In the long history of endless cycles measured in tens of millions of years, the Mayans realized that life and death were like morning dew, fleeting. Their culture flourished briefly before disappearing into the jungles of Central America. The sudden development and sudden disappearance of the Mayan culture remain a mystery to this day, making it one of the most fascinating ancient civilizations.
2. Sphinx:
It was the ancient Egyptian pharaoh Regedev who built the Sphinx monument based on the portrait of his father Khufu. He is a sophomore in high school. Ten meters long, fifty-seven meters long, with a face about five meters long, wearing a "Naimus" crown, with a sacred snake relief of "cobra" (meaning cobra) engraved on the forehead, and the emperor's symbol on the lower jaw - a long, drooping The beard, one ear is more than two meters long, is an important Egyptian heritage and tourist attraction in Egypt. Located in the pyramid tomb area of ??Giza, Egypt, part of the head is said to be that of the ancient Egyptian Pharaoh Khafre, who was modeled in his own likeness. Others believe that it was built by Regidev based on the likeness of his father Khufu.
Among the majestic Egyptian pyramids, the pyramid of Khafre, the son of Khufu, has a special feature - next to it is a giant statue more than 20 meters high and 57 meters long, with only the title One of the elephant ears is 2 meters tall. The face of the statue is the image of Khafre, but the body is the shape of a huge child. This is the world-famous wild-body human-faced statue. Because it is similar to the Sphinx, the human-faced monster in Greek mythology, many people also call it the "Sphinx." The original human-faced statue sits west to east, crouching next to Khafre's tomb. On the back of the head of Khafre's portrait is a wide image. What does such an image mean? It is said that when Khafre was looking at his mausoleum foundation project around 2000 BC, a craftsman from Fenfu gave him a stone. The animals most worshiped and respected by the Mongolian people are the eagle and the shuttle. People regard Du as the highest god, called Horas, which is the representative of the sun god and the god of war "Kemi". It is a symbol of power and the guardian of various mysterious places.
Khafre hoped to become the sun god after his death, and in order to maintain the authority of the Queen of Light, he created such a symbolic human-faced statue to protect the door of Duan. Therefore, it is said that the lion body The human face image embodies the supreme rule of the Egyptian Pharaoh and the power of the divine source. From content to form, the image is designed to show the power of this divine process. There is also a theory that Khafre visited the pyramid in person at that time to inspect the construction of the pyramid. When he found a huge stone discarded in the quarry at the construction site, he felt relieved and immediately ordered the craftsmen present to carve a human-faced statue according to the shape of his face as a memorial. After years of hard work, The craftsmen finally completed the task. This human-faced statue has a face of 5 meters long, a short head, a sacred snake "Modira" on its forehead, and a long saying symbolizing the majesty of the emperor on its lower collar. In Allah's text, it is called " "God" is a symbol of the monarch's dignity and power.
3. Bermuda Triangle:
Refers to a devil's triangle formed by the three-point connection of Bermuda, Miami in the United States, and San Juan in Puerto Rico. Many supernatural events have occurred here. Such as the mysterious disappearance of ships and planes, UFOs, underwater pyramids, etc. In the past hundred years, few people have dared to approach this sea area.
4. Mariana Trench:
Mariana Trench (Mariana Trench, Marianas Trench), also known as Mariana Trench. It is located at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean near the Mariana Islands in the northeastern part of the Philippines, starting from Iwo Jima in the north and ending near Yap Island in the southwest. There are Aleutian, Kuril, and Ogasawara trenches in the north, and New Britain and New Hebrides trenches in the south. It is 2,550 kilometers long, arc-shaped, and has an average width of 70 kilometers. It is estimated that this trench has been formed for 60 million years.
The deepest part of the trench reaches 6 to 11 kilometers, which is the deepest known part of the ocean. It has high water pressure, complete darkness, low temperature, low oxygen content, and lack of food resources, making it a One of the most hostile regions on earth.
The Mariana Trench is a plate subduction zone with very active seafloor geological movements. The material composition and origin of seamount volcanic rocks are issues of interest to marine geological scientists. Its deepest point is called the Fitchas Abyss, with an altitude of -11,034 meters. It is the deepest point on the earth, near 31 degrees north latitude. Surprisingly, at such a deep depth, scientists actually saw a flounder and a small red shrimp swimming.
5. Qiantang River spring tide:
In the Qiantang River basin in Zhejiang, due to the tidal force of the moon and the sun, coupled with the tidal force of the bell mouth of Hangzhou Bay The extremely large tidal surge caused by the special terrain is known as the world's three largest tidal surges along with the Ganges River tide in India and the Amazon tide in Brazil. Haining is the first tide-watching resort in Zhejiang Province (the best tide-watching resort), so it is also called "Haining Tide". Many tourists come to watch this spectacle every year. Before the arrival of the tide, a tiny white dot first appeared in the distance, and in a blink of an eye it turned into a wisp of silver, and accompanied by bursts of thunderous tide sounds, the white line rolled in. With almost no time for people to react, the surging tide has roared in. The peak of the tide is 3-5 meters high. The waves behind are catching up with the waves ahead, one layer after another, like a long white belt, with the potential to overwhelm mountains and seas. The poem goes: "As soon as I look at Qiantang, there are endless waves, and suddenly the violent waves are in front of me; the energy contained in the seemingly ordinary river water is astonishing." The tide comes from far and near, rushing in, pushing against the tide, roaring like thunder, and spraying beads. The splashing jade is like a galloping horse. Tide watching began in the Han and Wei dynasties and flourished in the Tang and Song dynasties. After more than 2,000 years, it has become a local custom.
6. Pyramid:
One of the seven wonders of the world, it is distributed in Egypt and America. The most famous one is the Egyptian pyramid, which was the emperor of ancient Egypt ( Pharaoh) Mausoleum, 96 pyramids were discovered by the Japanese, the largest being the three pyramids in Giza, a suburb of Cairo. How it was built has always been an unsolved mystery.
Because these huge mausoleums resemble the Chinese character "gold", we call them "pyramids". This triangle is used very cleverly, because if a quadrilateral is used instead of a triangle, then the huge pressure of the pyramid itself, which is more than 100 meters high, will collapse the entrance. With the triangle, the huge pressure is evenly dispersed. It is truly remarkable to have such a structure.
The museum was built on the original site where the solar boat was unearthed. The hull is a pure wooden structure tied with ropes.
Landscape of Khufu's Pyramid But the more surprising miracle is not the majestic appearance of Khufu's Pyramid, but the "coincidence" of numbers that happened on Khufu's Pyramid.
In addition to these astronomical and geographical figures, if the circumference of the base of the Pyramid of Khufu is divided by twice its height, the quotient obtained is 3.14159. This is pi, which is far more accurate than the Greek The pi calculated by humans is 3.1428, which is almost completely consistent with the pi calculated by Zu Chongzhi of China, which is between 3.1415926 and 3.1415927. At the same time, the right-angled triangular hall inside the Pyramid of Khufu has a ratio of 3:4:5, reflecting the value of the Pythagorean Theorem.
All of this reasonably shows that the "coincidence" of these numbers is not accidental. This perfect combination of numbers and architecture may be the result of the pyramid phenomenon of the ancient Egyptians. The crystallization of wisdom. Is this just a coincidence? Or do people already know something about the speed of light? If it were not to show the wisdom of designers and builders, there would be no need to show this contrasting relationship by building the Iron Tower in 1889. ”
The second pyramid is the tomb of King Khafre, the son of Khufu. It was built in 265 BC and is 3 meters lower than the former. Its current height is 133.5 meters. Because its ground is slightly higher, Therefore, it seems to be taller than Khufu's pyramid, but the architectural form is more perfect and spectacular. There are temples and other ancillary buildings in front of the tower and the famous Sphinx. The entire Sphinx is carved from a huge natural rock.
Why is it carved into a lion's body? In ancient Egyptian mythology, the lion is the guardian of various mysterious places. The guardian of the gate to the underworld. Because the Pharaoh wanted to become the sun god after his death, such a sphinx was built to guard the gate.
The face of the Sphinx is based on Khafre. The body is a lion, 22 meters high and 57 meters long. One of the ears of the statue is 2 meters high. Except for the lion's claws, the entire statue is carved from a piece of natural rock. In addition, the face is seriously damaged. Some people say that it was made by Mamluks. It was used as a target for shooting practice, and some people say it was the traces left by the shelling when Napoleon invaded Egypt in the 19th century.
The third pyramid belonged to King Menkaura, the grandson of Khufu, and was built in 60 BC. At that time, during the decline of the Fourth Dynasty, the pyramid buildings also began to corrode. The height of the Pyramid of Menkaure suddenly dropped to 66 meters, and the internal structure of the three pyramids collapsed, creating a three-meter-high pyramid around the French border. feet, 30 centimeters thick wall
7. Hanging Gardens of Babylon:
One of the eight wonders of the world, it is said that it was built by Nebuchadnezzar II of the Kingdom of Babylon in the 6th century BC. It was built in Babylon for the homesick princess Amy Edith. It no longer exists. It is said that the platform is supported by 25-meter-high pillars and has an irrigation system. Slaves constantly push the handles connected to the gears. Various flowers, plants and trees are planted in the garden, which looks like a garden suspended in mid-air from a distance.
The hanging garden has a total circumference of more than 500 meters. It is built on a high platform with stone pillars and a three-dimensional gardening method. The stone slabs are piled up layer by layer, reaching into the sky. From a distance, the garden looks like it is in the sky. The rockery is divided into three layers: upper, middle and lower. Each layer is supported by large stone pillars and covered with pavilions.
In order to prevent water seepage, each layer was laid with a wicker mat soaked in asphalt, and then two layers of bricks were laid on the mat. A layer of lead was poured on it, and then fertile soil was cultivated on top, and many exotic flowers and plants from foreign countries were planted. There are water sources and pipes for irrigation.
There are two types of city walls, made of mud bricks or bricks, with towers in between. The widest part of the outer wall is 7.1 meters. The main entrance of the city is the Ishtar Gate, which is 12 meters high and double. It was built dedicated to the goddess Ishtar. Entering the main entrance is the north-south Parade Street, which is paved with stone or bricks. The Ishtar Gate and both sides of the street are decorated with glazed animal reliefs, with animals arranged horizontally.
West of Parade Street and southwest of Ishtar Temple is the main palace area, the South Palace of Nebuchadnezzar II, which consists of 5 courtyards. The central courtyard No. 3 is decorated with colorful glazes Lion figures made of bricks and various geometric patterns of flowers and trees. In the northeast corner of the Nangong Palace is the Hanging Garden, one of the seven wonders of the world. There are many temples in the city, the center of which is the Marduk Temple and the Tower Temple. To the east of the city are the Temple of the Mother Goddess Ningmahe and the Temple of the Female War Goddess Ishtar. Relics unearthed in the city include pottery, glassware, decorations, cylinder seals, clay tablets, etc.
8. Dead Sea:
Located at the border of Palestine and Jordan, it is the lowest lake in the world and is known as the "Navel of the World". The lake surface is -422 meters above sea level. The Dead Sea is also the deepest saltwater lake in the world. The Dead Sea contains a high concentration of salt, which is 8.6 times that of ordinary seawater. As a result, no living things can survive in the water. There are even very few living things on the land along the coast of the Dead Sea. This is one of the reasons why people named it the Dead Sea.
It is the lowest lake in the world, with an altitude of -430.5 meters. The deepest point of the lake is 380.29 meters, and the altitude of the deepest lake bed is -800.112 meters. It is also the third saltiest body of water on Earth, behind Don Juan Pond in Antarctica, which is the second saltiest, and Gaet'ale Pond in Ethiopia, which is the first.
The Dead Sea is located in the Jordan Rift Valley, the Great Rift Valley between Israel, Palestine and Jordan. It is 86 kilometers long from north to south, 5 to 16 kilometers wide from east to west, and has a maximum depth of 380.29 meters. The shores of the Dead Sea are the lowest point on earth that has exposed land, and are known as the "navel of the world." From a distance, the Dead Sea looks like a two-tailed fish. Under the sunlight, the sea surface looks like an ancient bronze mirror. After the 1967 Israeli-Arab War, Israeli forces occupied the entire West Bank.
The Dead Sea contains a high concentration of salt, which is 8.6 times that of ordinary seawater. As a result, no living things can survive in the water. Even on the land along the Dead Sea, there are very few living things except aquatic plants. This is one of the reasons why people named it the Dead Sea. The Dead Sea, a saltwater lagoon on the border between Israel and Jordan, is disappearing. According to relevant data from the World Environmental Protection Organization, the level of the Dead Sea is declining at a rate of 3.3 feet (about 1 meter) per year. With the decreasing water volume, the salt concentration of the Dead Sea has greatly increased.
9. Mount Everest:
Located on the border between China and Nepal, the northern slope is in China, the southern slope is in Nepal, and the summit is in China. Mount Everest is the highest mountain in the world, with an altitude of 8844.43 meters. The mountain is in the shape of a giant pyramid. It is majestic and majestic, with its head raised to the sky. The terrain is extremely dangerous. Since the first human beings successfully climbed Mount Everest in 1953, many climbers from all over the world, including China, have Leave footprints on the top of Mount Everest.
Mount Everest, referred to as Mount Everest, is the main peak of the Himalayas and the highest mountain in China and the world. It is located on the border between China and Nepal, with its northern part in Dingri County, Shigatse City, Tibet Autonomous Region, China ( The western slope is in Tashi Clan Township, Dingri County, the eastern slope is in Qudang Township, Dingri County, where there is Mount Everest Base Camp), and the southern slope is in northern Nepal. It is the highest peak in China and the world, and is also the natural peak of Mount Everest in China spanning four counties. It is the center of protected areas and national parks of Nepal.
In Tibetan, "Zhumu" means "goddess", "Langma" means "mother elephant", and the overall meaning is "Mother of the Earth".
On May 29, 1953, New Zealand athlete Edmund Hillary and Nepalese guide Tenzing Norgay climbed Mount Everest for the first time.
For the height of Mount Everest, the snow cover height (total height) used by Nepal and other countries is 8848 meters, which is consistent with the measurement value of Mount Everest by Chinese surveying and mapping workers in 1975; my country uses the 2005 national surveying and mapping The rock surface height measured by the bureau (the bare height is the geological height) is 8844.43 meters. In 2005, the altitude of the rock face of Mount Everest was accurately measured and announced at 8844.43 meters.
10. Shennongjia:
Located on the western border of Hubei Province, it is the only green miracle at 31 degrees north latitude. It preserves a well-preserved subtropical forest ecosystem, with animals The plants are rich, colorful, ancient, unique and rare. The legend of Shen Nong's taste of grass and medicine, the mystery of the "savage", and the Han national mythological epic "The Legend of Darkness" are all fascinating and alluring.
From the end of the Indosinian Movement to the beginning of the Yanshan Movement, the Shennongjia Forest Area experienced intense folding and large-area tilting, laying the foundation for the region's geomorphological framework. The cold and warm climate changes in the Quaternary Period have left glacial landforms in some areas, making the landforms in the area complex and diverse. The Shennongjia Mountains run across the southwest of the Shennongjia Forest Area in an east-west direction. Shennongding is the highest with an elevation of 3105.4 meters, which is also the highest point in central China. The lowest point in the forest area is Shizhu River in Xiagoping Township, with an elevation of 398 meters and a relative height difference of 2707.4. rice. According to the morphological characteristics and genetic types of the landforms in the area, it can be divided into four types of geomorphological units: structural corrosion landforms, corrosion erosion landforms, denudation erosion landforms, and accumulation landforms.
Shennongjia is located in the western part of Hubei Province, my country. This is a magical land. According to legend, Shennong (Emperor Yan) came here to collect herbs. Although he had great magical powers, he could not climb the cliffs. So he built 36 ladders and climbed to the cliffs. From then on, this place was called Shennongjia. Thousands of steep peaks and thousands of deep ravines here make it known as the "Roof of Central China" and a famous "green treasure house" in my country. There are many incredible mysteries here.
1. Animal albinism: So far, white golden monkeys, white squirrels, white spiders, white crows, white bears, white wolves, white snakes, white turtles, white deer, etc. have been discovered in the Shennongjia forest area. White animals can be called the land of white animals. White animals have also been found in other parts of the world. There are polar bears in the Arctic, white tigers in India, white lions in Africa, and white monkeys in other parts of my country. However, the numbers are very rare. The discovery of so many white animals in Shennongjia has puzzled experts.
2. The legend of the Savage: The mystery of the "Savage" is one of the four unsolved mysteries in the world today. Shennongjia is one of the places where “savages” have been discovered most often and where there are the most witnesses. According to incomplete statistics, since the beginning of the last century, nearly 400 people here have seen nearly 100 living "savages" in varying degrees in different places. In the past 30 years, we have received hundreds of reports from people from all walks of life who have seen "savages", and we have also collected a lot of evidence about the activities of humanoid animals. However, we have never had any direct contact with humanoid animals in the past 30 years.
3. Mountain stream tides: Tides are the rise and fall of sea water caused by the moon's gravitational pull on the earth. The ancients called it "the rise and fall of the waves with the moon." Therefore, on the first day of each month, watch the sun. The tide is the largest, and the tide on the first and last chords is the smallest. Who can believe that this unique natural phenomenon on the seaside can also appear in the mountain streams of Shennongjia?
4. Cave covered with glaciers in midsummer: Generally, caves are warm in winter and cool in summer, but some It's just relatively warm, it's cool, but the hot wind blowing against your face in the middle of winter is like being in a heated room, and the glaciers stand in front of you in midsummer, as if you've entered the Guanghan Palace. This phenomenon is very strange. There is such a strange cave in Shennongjia called "Ice Cave".
5. Weird animals: Shennongjia Animal World is full of strange things. At first glance, it seems ridiculous, but when you think about it carefully, it makes sense.
There are countless alien shapes: farmers in Xinhua Township discovered three giant water monsters, "living in deep pools, with gray-white skin, a head like a big toad, two round eyes bigger than a rice bowl, and an open mouth more than four feet long." , with five toes on its two forelimbs... When it surfaced, it sprayed water jets several feet high from its mouth, followed by smoke. Coffin beasts, unicorns, donkey-headed wolves, Shennongjia golden monkeys, and other strange animals were all rumored to have appeared.
6. The mystery of arrow bamboo: Strange footprints, hair, feces and bamboo nests have been found many times in the arrow bamboo forest in Shennongjia. Scientists have analyzed the bamboo nests in two places: each nest consists of 24 roots. The bamboo poles are twisted, and the distance between the bamboo roots is about 50 centimeters. When you sit in them, you can look up at the sky and look up at the sky. What kind of spiritual things are they? What about masterpieces? Bears are stupid by nature, so I forgive them for not having such means; although monkeys are well-behaved, they are by no means so smart; orangutans are far away in the world, and apes no longer exist... After all, people with such intelligence are certainly not The "savages" are none other than giant pandas who love arrow bamboo. Although no trace of the giant panda has been found in Shennongjia, many other animals that originated at the same time as the giant panda have been found.
7. Cold and Warmth. Cave: There is a cave in Shennongjia that can accommodate thousands of people. There is a dry side and a wet side. The dry side is steaming, but the wet side is air-conditioned.
8. Ghost Market: Many people. I have seen the "ghost market" in Shennongjia. "Er Ghost City" is also called "'Mountain City", as if the mirage that happened in the desert was moved to the mountains. Ancient people said that monsters such as dragons and giant clams puffed out clouds and mist to form the "ghost city". "City Travel Scene", and many people in the mountains heard the bustle of people and the noise of cars and horses in the "ghost market".
9. Stone House: In the Stone House area of ??Shennongjia, the chickens are very big , and the eggs they lay are all double-yolk, but this kind of chicken will die as soon as it leaves the stone house.
10. Divine Stone: There is a sacred stone pillar in Shennongjia. From the beginning of the year to July every year, the stone pillar is enchanted. There is often music constantly playing in the cracks of the stone, with the sound of gongs, drums, and ah-na sounds. It is like a symphony of national musical instruments. It is so magical. In the second half of the year, it becomes silent and soundless, very regular. . North latitude 31 has been synonymous with mystery since ancient times. In this mysterious zone, there are ten natural and man-made wonders such as the Pyramid, the Bermuda Triangle, the Hanging Gardens, and the Dead Sea. It runs through the four ancient civilizations near this latitude. There are the mysterious Bermuda Triangle, the famous Egyptian pyramids, the legendary sunken Atlantis, and Mount Everest, the highest peak in the world... full of mystery, weirdness, psychedelic, and weirdness...
