When it comes to pyramids, you think of Egypt, but in fact, it is an ancient culture with common forms around the world such as South America, Cambodia, Turkey, Tibet, and Manchuria and Habuk. The ancient history is so mysterious. =============================================================== Palenque, a jungle area in Chiapas state in southwestern Mexico. Discovered in this ancient city, considered one of the most beautiful and mysterious sites in Mesoamerica, the pyramids of King Pacal of Maya were so similar in size and shape to ancient Korean general guns of ancient Korean generals. In addition, King Pakal's head resembles the skull transformation customs of ancient aristocratic women in Gaya, the southern part of the Korean Peninsula. Are these all coincidences? To examine Mexico's pyramid ruins and indian culture represented by the Maya civilization, it would be better to first explore two or three cultural sites in Korea as a study and eye candy. The first places to look around are Andong Pagoda in Seoktap-dong, Andong-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do, and Sancheong Pagoda in Sancheong, Gyeongsangnam-do. Andong Pagoda and Sancheongtap Pagoda are embankment-type mausoleums stacked with several layers of stone or stone piles, and have the same format as Goguryeo General's Tomb in the northern part of the Yalu River. In other words, it is the Korean version of the Stairway Pyramid or the Goguryeo Pyramid. Andong Pagoda is a pyramid with five bases of 13.5×13.2m at the bottom, and Sancheongtap Pagoda is a pyramid with seven bases. Both towers have the same decoration as the upper wheel at the center of the top. In the case of Sancheongtap Pagoda, the lower part of the pagoda is located on the slope of the room where the Buddha statue is placed. If Andong Pagoda and Sancheong Pagoda are too far away to go, you can visit Baekje Ancient Tombs in Bangi-dong, Seoul. Although many of the original forms have been lost, you can appreciate how the Goguryeo-style pyramids look like. Scholars say that these pyramids started from Goguryeo, passed through the Korean Peninsula, and advanced to Japan. This is because Goguryeo-style pyramids made of soil are also found in Kumayama, Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan, and the country of Osaka. Whether the Goguryeo-style pyramid stopped in Japan or advanced far across the Pacific to the Americas using Japan as a base is still beyond the scope of archaeology. It still lingers only in the imagination. The second place to look for the skull transformation customs on the Korean Peninsula is the Pusan National University Museum. In one corner of the exhibition room, there are well-preserved ancient tombs. Among them, it is necessary to carefully examine the skull, which is clearly distinct from the skull of a normal person, which has become severely flat in the upper part of the forehead. This suspicious remains were excavated from the old Gaya area, and the current place name is Yean-ri, Daedong-myeon, Gimhae-gun, Gyeongsangnam-do. Archaeologists investigated the pelvic bones of the skull of a flat horse and determined that the protagonist was a woman believed to be a noble class and lived during the Gaya period in the early 4th century. A transformation of the skull was found not only in women but also in 10 other human bones, which was presumed to have artificially altered the head by some custom of the time. It is also said that the artificially flattened skull would have been deformed as a child before the headbone hardened. The archaeological community tentatively concluded that at least around the 4th century, a specific group or special class of people in Gaya near Yean-ri had a strange custom of "a skull transformation that flattenes the forehead and bangs." Let's fly to Mexico with the concept of the Goguryeo-style pyramid and the prejudice of Gaya women. The direct route to Mexico has not yet been opened, so most people go to Mexico City through the United States. It takes about 16 hours by plane. You should first look for Palenque in Chiapas Province, southwestern Mexico, which takes about 15 hours by express bus from Mexico City. This is because in order to understand the essence of Mexico's ancient culture, that is, Mesoamerican culture (a generic term for ancient culture found in Mexico, Guatemala, etc.), a historical figure in Palenche must be tracked first. During Palenke's great excavation, in 1949, the site was a jungle area where a herd of mosquitoes demanded blood donation from people all day, and unbearable high temperatures and unpleasant moisture bothered people all year round. Perhaps because of some inspiration, Alberto Ruth (Mexican archaeologist, then head of the National Archaeological Research Institute of Mexico) kept an eye on a hill covered with green moss and looking just normal. It was never a hill that stimulated the imagination that there would be a special pyramid in the ground. Western archaeologists and curious explorers would not have let go until then if the hill had been seducing people. In fact, the Palenque region, which Alberto Ruth decided to excavate, has already been "inflicted" several times by senior archaeologists who are passionately searching for Maya civilization despite its poor environment. Ruth began digging into this ordinary hill that was left for him. Workers were mobilized to remove soil and rubble from the hill for a long time. It was not long before something began to appear. The building built on solid stone pieces (stone plates) showed its flesh little by little. When I chose both soil and rubble, the temple built on a pyramid consisting of nine stylobates was clear. There was no special difference in appearance compared to other previously excavated pyramid temples, but it was built firmly and carefully, so it was well preserved. The temple consisted of three rooms. The wall was decorated with about 600 unknown Mayan hieroglyphics and mythical paintings. Ruth, who was looking carefully at the rooms, looked down at the square stone plates laid on the floor in the central room. It was noticeable that one of the stone tablets was slightly convex than the other. When I swept the floor clean, I noticed a series of holes lined up in two rows on both sides of the stone plate. Being curious, Ruth had the workers bring the lever, and then lifted the stone plate. Under the stone plate, there were miscellaneous stones to harden the ground. As I dug into the rubble about 80cm, an arch-shaped stone appeared between them. It was not a rubble, but an artificially placed stone. It was unusual in the eyes of an experienced archaeologist. As we dug further while removing the rubble, there were clearly arched steps made of limestone. It led to the basement of the temple, or the interior of the pyramid. It was clear that rubble was intentionally placed by someone a long time ago to block underground passages inside the pyramid. This was an unusual structure that could not be found in other pyramids discovered until then. The excavation team, led by Ruth, dug up the rubble one by one and moved it out, while stepping down the narrow and steep limestone stairs step by step, fearing damage to the remains. It was a long and boring work. This is because it was filled with heavier stones as it went down to the basement and the oxygen was scarce, making it unbearable. It was only in 1950, a year after discovery in 1949, that it came down to the 45th staircase. Here, the bottom of the underground stairs turned to the right, and a flat part appeared. There were two rectangular holes in the inner wall of the pyramid. It was clear that these holes, which seemed to be connected to the outside, were places where the outside light and air were received. Ruth breathed some fresh air and dug down the stairs leading back to the basement. As I went down 21 more stairs, a thick wall of stones and clay suddenly appeared. When the wall was carefully removed, a narrow horizontal passage appeared, blocking another stone wall better than the previous barrier 2m ahead. In the horizontal passage between the first and second barriers, a small clayham was placed, containing ceramics, jade crafts, pearls, and shells. They were relics that the robbers would covet. He collected the relics and approached the second obstacle. 4m thick is a wall made of well-deserved stones and lime. The workers were excited about what else was waiting in there. Ruth warned that the workers might make a mistake and waited for the second obstacle to be demolished. The tomb wall in the pyramid was first discovered. And the sights in front of my eyes. There were six remains that had lost their bodies, covered in mold, waiting for the excavation team. Among them, there were also the remains of women. The workers may have been disappointed, but it was enough to frighten the Mexican archaeologist. This is because remains have never been found underground in Maya's pyramid. Ruth was also bothered by the third obstacle at the end of the hallway. It was a large triangular stone plate, unlike the first and second walls. When one of the workers made a small hole in the stone plate with a crowbar, lime and gravel debris fell. Ruth, who knelt down and looked into the hole with a flashlight in one hand, froze there and couldn't say anything for a long time. It was a stone chamber with a coffin. After moving the triangular stone plate, the stone chamber, which went down four stairs, was a beautiful arched cave with a length of 9m, a width of 4m, and a height of 7m. Both the walls and ceilings were flawlessly perfectly trimmed. In the middle of the room, there was a square stone crown. On the round ceiling, stalactites are stretched like curtains, and there are thick stalagmites that look like candle wax on the floor, and it seemed to be eloquent that the years of eternity have passed. Nine people dressed up in old-fashioned costumes were decorated with stuco (decorated brick) sculptures on the surrounding walls. The gods that dominate the underworld, Nine Lord's of Night, symbolized nine skies, or Gucheon, in the Eastern way. The nine gods were undoubtedly symbolic systems to guide and protect the owner of this room. Even an amateur in archaeology could have guessed that the owner of this room, protected by the 9 gods in the Mayan myth, was a precious being in his lifetime. The owner will lie in a sarcophagus in the middle of the room. The cap of the stone coffin was a huge square stone plate weighing 5 tons. The stone plate, 3.8m wide, 2.2m long, and 23cm thick, was decorated with very complex reliefs. Unknown inscriptions were also engraved on the edge of the stone plate thickness.
This beautiful stone coffin lid alone would have been a great archaeological excavation. The impact of Mexican archaeologists is now at the final stage of opening the lid of the stone plate. On June 15, 1952, the number of years after digging an ordinary hill covered with green moss reached its peak in as many as four years. Ruth lifted the stone plate with a crane as his nerves were tense and his heart was pounding. Soon after, Ruth looked into the government office, and he stopped groaning. He eventually encountered evidence that he had to withdraw the theories of Maya scholars, who had not lost their firm authority for the past 60 years. It was the remains of a man wearing a funeral mask mosaic with about 20 jade stones. Until then, unlike the Egyptian pyramids, it was an unwritten rule that buried remains should not appear in the pyramids of Mexico. This is because it was an orthodox theory that senior scholars believed in and Ruth fully agreed with. However, Palenke's remains appeared proudly as if they were mocking such scholars. The mask, which covered the face of the remains, was completed by applying plaster on the face after death and attaching sculptures to the face. Masks like these have never been found in other Maya temples. In addition, the mask was covered like a migraine from the forehead to the top of the bangs, which was similar to the migraine hair of a Gaya woman. The eyes were made of white shells (eye spots) and black stones (eye pupils). In the slightly open mouth, something like jade was slightly bitten, and there was a round smell on both palms and feet, respectively. It was like a custom that gave something meaning to the store. This was also a ritual that could only be seen in Eastern funeral customs. In addition, the remains were decorated with crowns, necklaces threaded with flower and fruit-shaped beads, and earrings engraved with Maya hieroglyphics, and rings were inserted on each of the ten fingers. All of them were made of transparent jade, which the Mayans value the most. Next to the remains, two head statues made of plaster were also found, which seemed to have been carved to commemorate his face. This was also a statue of the migraine forehead. Ruth, who completely excavated the area around this tomb, found that it is a nine-story stepped pyramid with a temple at the top, and that the remains of the king were enshrined along the passage connected to the basement of the temple. The room with the remains is located 2m below the horizontal plane of the pyramid-type building floor, and it was also the only one that showed Maya's burial culture. The Treasure Complex, excavated by Ruth at the Palencke ruins, has excited not only Mexico but also the world's archaeological community. In particular, it brought a great shock to Mayan scholars in Mexico. In the meantime, Maya scholars have consistently argued for the uniqueness of the Maya civilization. Even when ancient civilization propagators cited the direct connection between Mexican and Egyptian culture and cited the similarities between the pyramids as strong evidence, Maya scholars said there was no such thing as cultural income, citing other grounds. In other words, the Egyptian pyramid is a huge tomb made by stacking stones around the room where the king (Paraoh) was buried, while the pyramids in Mexico were not tombs, but simple terraced structures built to support temples rising above the jungle and show their majesty. In the meantime, the Palenke pyramid discovered by Ruth shut up scholars defending the uniqueness of the Mayan civilization. Even Ruth, the excavator, initially refused to accept the claims of the propagators of civilization, saying that this was an exception to the Maya pyramid. However, after Ruth's discovery, a tomb-shaped pyramid was also discovered in Tikal, Guatemala, another Maya site, and in 1994, the tomb pyramid was discovered again, and civilization independence theory lost its light. In any case, Alberto Ruth is considered the greatest archaeologist in Central American excavation history for his contribution to the creation of a universal chronology of the beginning and fall of Central American civilization by discovering long inscriptions with more than 600 hieroglyphs. Maya scholars call it the Temple of Myeonggak in commemoration of this tomb-style pyramid where Maya's largest epitaph was discovered. And it is said that the Maya civilization cannot be truly understood without knowing the Palenke ruins. After Ruth's excavation, Maya scholars deciphered the hieroglyphics engraved in the temple of Myeonggak and found that the owner of the tomb was King Pakal, meaning "shield." Hieroglyphic records revealed that King Pacal ascended to the throne at the age of 12 and died in 683 A.D. at the age of 80. Therefore, it was estimated that the pyramid was built by his son (Chan Balum) after 683. In addition, it was analyzed that the Mayans, led by King Pacal, suddenly collapsed due to unknown reasons around the 9th century. Palenque, who was busy arriving in Mexico City to chase the archaeological deeds of Ruth, the king of Maya, who fell asleep in the Goguryeo-style pyramid. In the middle of the city, there is a huge statue of King Pacal of the migraine looking up at the sky as a symbol of Palenque, and it even gives an illusion that King Pacal of 1,000 years ago still dominates this place. In fact, it does not seem to be a very wrong illusion to see that many of the residents here make a living with various products commemorating King Pacal's Palenke ruins, accommodations and transportation aimed at tourists. It takes about 20 minutes by taxi from downtown Palencke to the historic site. Even at the present time when Ruth was excavated more than 40 years ago or when it was strengthened as a tourist destination, it is never easy to visit Palenque, which is lush with jungle. The unbearably hot heat wave, humidity of pressing the breath, swarms of mosquitoes rushing mercilessly, and dense forests of trees about 30 meters high remain unchanged then and now. Colorful macobirds (a type of parrot) are flying through the branches that are frozen between the ruins, and the occasional cries of monkeys in the jungle also stimulate the original color more strongly. It is not known whether it was a natural environment in this state even during the reign of King Pacal. This is because the Mayan people show a strange characteristic of suddenly appearing one day and suddenly disappearing another, and there are not many records left to know the climate environment, customs, and culture of that time. King Pacal's Temple of Myeonggak and the surrounding pyramids in many ways exude an East Asian, especially Korean smell. This is because it gives the impression of seeing the Goguryeo Ancient Tombs in Manchuria unless it is a macobird, monkey, and jungle. About 12,000 Goguryeo-style pyramids are concentrated in Manchuria's houses and Hwanin area. In particular, the pyramid of King Pakal, which is 30m high and consists of nine stylobates, is reminiscent of the Goguryeo General's Tomb in the house. The Janggunchong Tomb, which has seven stylobates stepped up, is a representative Korean-style pyramid with one side of the floor stylobate of 32m. If King Pakal's pyramid has a stone chamber and a stone crown underneath the pyramid, Janggunchong has a stone chamber and a stone crown inside the stylobate on the fifth floor. The difference is that King Pakal died alone, while General Chong is the tomb of the couple and has two sarcophagus. In addition, as with most pyramids in Mexico, the pyramids of King Pacal point to the east, west, north, and south, respectively, and the corners of the Generalchong point to the east, west, north, and south, respectively. Rather, when it comes to pointing in the direction, the corners will be much more sophisticated than the cotton. However, the biggest obstacle to comparing the similarities between the two pyramids is the temple at the top of the pyramid. In particular, the temple is also the most likely evidence for Mexican archaeologists to claim the originality of the pyramid here. Crucially, King Pakal's pyramid has a temple decorated with colorful decorations at the top, while it is not seen in the General Tomb. However, the top of the General Tomb was not an empty space from the beginning. Scholars studying Goguryeo tombs discovered that small holes were dug into the stones at regular intervals at the top of the General Tomb and viewed them as jugongs for railing. In addition, it was confirmed that the foundation stones of the building remained at regular intervals, revealing that the shape was unknown at the top of the pyramid, but a distinct building was erected. Furthermore, Professor 瀅植교수 of Ewha Womans University (Shin Hyung-sik, Korea's ancient history) evaluated that "I think he built a shrine at the top of the General Tomb and performed ancestral rites to heaven and ancestors." In other words, the General Tomb also has a temple on top of the pyramid. It may be more convincing for civilization propagationists to connect Egyptian and Mexican civilizations to the Korean pyramid rather than to connect them slowly by discovering tombs in the pyramids of King Pacal. In fact, Egypt's representative Cairo pyramid is a fusiform pyramid, not a staircase, and is a very heterogeneous structure with no temples at the top. It reminds me of the words that Shin Young-hoon, a Korean cultural property expert and carpenter specializing in ancient buildings, confessed when he returned to Korea after visiting Mexico during the 68 Mexico Olympics. At that time, I went to Mexico City and built Korean Pavilion. I visited nearby historical sites from time to time, and there were large-scale buildings built with embankment. The temple was built high on such a platform. At that time, I heard that there was a blue dot (Cheongbanjeom, Mongolian spot) on the buttocks of these embankment-built tribes. On the day of the completion ceremony of the Korean Pavilion, the people there said that they wore these clothes before, wearing and trimming the pants of the hanbok's The Gosan people living in high mountains had almost the same customs as ours, according to the compatriots there. It was shocking that the same ethnic group was sharing Bangdan (stairway pyramid). In terms of defense, the Egyptian pyramids are in the same family. Except for Cairo's fusiform pyramid, the mainstream is square. In the end, there is a small-scale rifle behind the huge spindle-shaped pyramid guarded by the Sphinx," Shin testified shockingly that the pyramid group found on a large scale in Mexico and the stepped pyramid that exists on a small scale in Egypt are similar to the tomb-shaped pyramid of the Goguryeo era.
However, can we emphasize the theory of propagation of civilization just because there are pyramids of the same style in Goguryeo in Northeast Asia between the vast continent and the sea, Egypt in northern Africa, and Mexico in Central America? First, let's exclude Egypt's terraced pyramids. As Mr. Shin said, the Egyptians are a heterogeneous race with no Mongolian spots on their buttocks, so it is difficult to determine their cultural similarity with the pyramid at this point. Instead, it will be easier to compare the relationship between the East Asian and Mexican Indians, who are born with blue spots like karma. To simplify the debate, the pyramid between the two is a coincidence or a direct cultural exchange phenomenon. It is worth noting that the construction period of the pyramids of both will be in place. The Pyramid of King Pakal is a pyramid built after 683. This was not long after Silla joined hands with China's Tang Dynasty to unify the three kingdoms. In terms of timing, the Pyramid of King Pakal was built much later than the General Tomb (estimated before the 3rd century AD). However, no tombs are found like the Pyramids of King Pacal, but other Mexican pyramids with similar structures in appearance date back much more. First, let's take a rough look at the birth and development of Mesoamerican culture through a booklet published by the National Museum of Anthropology, Mexico's largest museum. Who built the pyramid first? At the end of the ice age, when the water level went down due to freezing of seawater, Paleolithic hunters from Asia gradually began to come to the Americas after passing through the overpassed Bering area. Their long hunting era ends and the era of farmers arrives. 4,000 to 3,500 years ago, villages that grow corn from central to southern Mexico were located here and there. After that, earthenware, tow art, and paramids were constructed, and the civilization blossomed. From this period on, Mexican scholars divide it into the prehistoric period (BC 1200-100 BC), the classical period (BC 100-AD 900), and the late period (AD 900-1521 AD) to record the history of civilization. During the early classical period, a strong religious culture was born on the eastern coast of Mexico, that is, the coast of the Gulf of Mexico. This is the Olmec culture, the founder of Mesoamerican civilization. From 1200 BC to 200 BC, the Olmecs scattered culture throughout Central America and then disappeared from the stage of history. Later, as it entered the classical period, Theotiwakan (200 BC to AD 650) civilization unfolded, and in the process, civilizations such as Toltec Maya grew again. Therefore, the Maya civilization representing Mexico, as people mistake, inherited the first civilization in Mesoamerica, not the first civilization, and King Pacal, the main character, is the representative figure of the Maya civilization. Meanwhile, the first step-by-step pyramid to appear between approximately 800 BC and 200 BC. This is because a pyramid (named E-VII-Sub) believed to have been built during this period was found in Uaxatun (Uaxaka), Mexico. In addition, a small stylobate built around 300 BC was also found in Tikal, Guatemala. It can be inferred that the Pyramid of King Pakal was also built under the influence of this architectural culture. Move to the place and turn to the Goguryeo-style pyramid in Korea. Scholars say that pyramids (jeokseokchong), such as Generalchong, are generally tombs in the early Goguryeo period, and generally hold the lower limit until the end of the 3rd century. On the other hand, it is difficult to know exactly when and where the Goguryeo pyramids originated. While various theories about Goguryeo's founding date are divided, if the founding date is viewed as 277 BC, as North Korea claims, the origin of the Goguryeo-style pyramid could also be raised to the pre-clinical era. However, it is widely believed that Goguryeo inherited the culture from Gojoseon. In other words, it is highly likely that Goguryeo's Paris Mid Jangmyoje also originated from Gojoseon culture. In this regard, interesting archaeological relics have recently been discovered in China. At the end of last year, a joint Changgang Civilization Research Group (advisor to Takehi Umehara International Center for Japanese Culture) who was excavating the remains of Yongmagoseong Fortress in Yangjagang, China, claimed that 1,000 years ahead of the Yellow River existed by discovering the foundation used about 5,000 years ago. The foundation for ancestral rites is an important archaeological evidence indicating that a group has a religious form of culture. The foundation in question consists of three bases, and the lowest end is a rectangle of 80m north-south and 40m east-west. The height of each stage reached 2m. The material was not a stone, but it was clearly a rudimentary stepped pyramid. In addition, the investigation team estimated that a city-state with sun worship faith existed here, based on the fact that the main axis of the altar points to the south-south and the bones of a person believed to be victims of the ritual were excavated together. However, another civilization similar to the origin date of the Janggang civilization is also found in the three northeastern provinces (Manju) of China, which are deeply related to the birthplace of our people. In 1986, at the Uha Liang site in Liaoning Province, where the Chinese archaeological community's excavation report (86-8 civilizations) came out, stone altar and head of a new body baked with soil were excavated, drawing extraordinary attention from academia. The date also went up to 3700 B.C. Chinese scholars named this site Hongsan Culture, which corresponds to the late Neolithic period. Hongsan culture can also be regarded as an independent ancient civilization in that it shows the emergence of political power supported by religious authority. Professor Yoon Nae-hyun (private studies) of Dankook University said, "Hongsan culture is directly related to the ancient history of the Korean people such as Gojoseon, so Chinese and Japanese scholars are turning a blind eye to its importance."He pointed out that "As long as the aspects of new ancient civilizations such as Hongsan culture and Janggang civilization are revealed, the perception of ancient history in East Asia centered on Hwangha should be changed." In any case, the fact that the original pyramid was found in the Hongsan culture and the Janggang civilization suggests a lot. I don't know who the main characters of the Hongsan and Janggang civilizations are, but they are clearly Northeast Asians, and it is very likely that the culture continued to Goguryeo. What is also clear is that the pyramids in East Asia are far above the building date of the pyramids in Mexico. "Do you have pyramids in Korea?"』 In fact, the issue of mentioning the connection between the Goguryeo-style pyramid and the Mexican pyramid is a very subtle issue for professional scholars to deal with. Mexican archaeologists say that since the Asian race intermittently crossed the Bering Sea in the Paleolithic era, Asia and America have been cut off at some point, and there is no cultural evidence directly introduced from Asia. That is to say, Mesoamerican culture is a culture that has developed creatively in America. However, not a few contradictions are pointed out here. For example, pyramids developed around the 3rd century BC suddenly appear in Mexico, and in similar times, pyramids developed more than those of the Janggang River and Hongsan Mountain begin to appear in Asia. Is this just a coincidence? We have decided to meet Professor Alfredo Lopez Austin, a world-renowned Mexican archaeologist. He is famous as a scholar who has made outstanding achievements in ancient religion and space view. I visited the National University of Mexico City again from Palencke to interview him. Mexican culture and Asian culture are very similar in conclusion. Both have a dual concept (negative and yang) in the private system, and it acts as an absolute factor in culture. If there is a heavenly lord in the sky, there must be an underground king (King of the Underworld) on the ground. This is the case even when looking at the medicine of indios. Indios are treated with herbs with cold energy when they get sick from heat. On the contrary, when sick from cold weather, hot herbs are used. "We always use the concept of yin and yang," Professor Lopez said, "However, this cultural thinking system stems only from similar thoughts of the same race, and it did not occur due to the direct influx of Asian culture into Mexican civilization after the classic period." Suspicions about the similarity between the Korean pyramid and the Mexican pyramid also failed to hear a satisfactory answer from this Mexican scholar. He said that the pyramids also developed similarly on both continents because the human mental world is similar. He was not aware of the fact that there was a pyramid in ancient Korea. Indeed, there will be no reason to blame Professor Lopez, given that there is no book about Korea in the Mexican National University Library, which is much larger and better equipped than Seoul National University in Korea. However, he said that recently, there has been a strong theory that the tribes who built the Mesoamerican civilization may have entered Central America through various channels as well as the Bering Sea. In this regard, Professor Otto Schumann, a linguist majoring in Maya language, pointed out an interesting fact. Maya's language structure is very similar to that of Korean and Japanese, and it should be studied further, but it is presumed to be related to the language of the Pacific region. He gave an interesting example when asked to explain the Mayan language similar to Korean. The Mayan language similar to Korean does not distinguish between blue and green. They say it's a blue light when they see the green traffic light. However, the Mayans also do not distinguish between blue and green. In linguistics, this is called "color language," and the same color language in both languages is an important factor in determining the homogeneity of language.Along with color, many of these words are found in body language, which is a basic vocabulary. Koreans use the word neck (concave part) as the body language of the wrist and ankle, which also appears in the Mayan language. In addition, Maya language is very subdivided into the naming system between relatives (e.g., uncle, uncle, aunt, Dangsuk, nephew, uncle, etc.), and it is different from Western language system, such as changing names according to the age of men and lowering women. This is similar to the Eastern language system in which the concept of family and etiquette developed,' he also has a unique history of growing up with indios in Indio Village in Guatemala as a child.
He said indios have seen male adults eat first when they eat, then women eat, and children have seen the habit of eating last. In addition, Indios were very anxious because they thought that someone in their relatives would die when they dreamed of losing their teeth. All of these must be oriental, especially too Korean. However, most Mexican scholars insist on Mesoamerican culture independence because there is no conclusive evidence of the direct import of culture, although it is clear that Mesoamerican race and Asian race are inseparable from its origins. In other words, they believe that just because Goguryeo-style pyramids are like Mayan pyramids, and just because language and private systems are similar, and just because customs and lifestyles are the same, they cannot be decisive evidence of cultural income. Their arguments are not without merit. In fact, there are many non-Asian cultures in Mesoamerican civilization. In particular, in Olmec culture, the first civilization, a human head statue in the form of a black person appears out of the blue, while a statue similar to that of a white person is sometimes found. Because these sculptures were discovered, blacks in Africa advanced to America. Or, it is hard to say that white people had already pioneered American culture long before Spain's Cortes landed in America. Mexican scholars apply this reason to Asian culture as it is. Finding the secret of migraine, but Koreans encounter a number of coincidental coincidences, as Mexican scholars claim, while watching Mexican Mesoamerican culture. When there are so many coincidences, I naturally think there may be a connection somewhere. Let's go back to King Pacal. King Pakal's migraine is also in the same form as the Gaya woman's migraine and coincidence. First, we decided to check whether there is actually a migraine in Maya culture. King Pacal's migraine was found in a dead mask covering his face, not actual remains, so I wanted to see it in person. I visited the National Museum of Anthropology in Mexico City. Located in the forest of Chapultepec Park, Lepoma Street, the museum is huge enough to occupy 44,000 square meters of building area on 125,000 square meters of land, so it takes a full day to see the entire museum. Opened in 1964, the National Museum of Anthropology is also closely related to the now-dead Alberto Ruth. While serving as the director of this place, he was motivated and later nicknamed the Pope of Maya Culture. We looked around the exhibition room, especially focusing on migraine. Finding migraine wasn't that difficult. Their foreheads were flatly pressed against all of their murals and figures. In a word, the Mayans were usually in the form of a migraine. In one exhibition room, migraine valleys were displayed, which was the same as those seen at the Pusan National University Museum. And on top of Ingol, the Mayans were introduced in detail with pictures how they did migraine fashion. These days, everyone was transforming their skulls to the extent that the normal skulls were considered rather strange at the time. However, Maya scholars say that the meaning of why the Mayans were migraine has not yet been revealed. It was so strange that nothing had been revealed about migraine customs found in almost all Mesoamerican civilizations since the Olmec culture. Reporters also wandered around Mexican historical sites to find data on migraine, but had no income. Then, it was time to stay in Merida, the capital of the Yucatan Peninsula, the home of Maya civilization. After dinner, I walked on the city road for a walk and accidentally stopped by a bookstore. There, a booklet with a rather interesting title of "Rattlesnake School" in English caught my eye and rummaged through the book, and the subheadings that connected the snake faith and migraine were noticeable. I looked up the author, and he's from this town. I hurriedly called the author and asked him to meet him. The author accepted coolly and decided to meet at his house the next day. Ulbam faith and migraine He was an old gentleman in his 80s named Jose Diaz Bolio. Having devoted more than 50 years to the unique themes of Maya civilization and rattlesnake, he was an old man known as a night scholar in Mexican academia. In Korea, as domestic japanese historians were cold-hearted by pulpit scholars, he was also rejected by the mainstream academia here. The Korean international student (Doctorate in Archaeology) who was in charge of interpreting also helped Mexican archaeologists show signs of dislike just by mentioning his name. That's because Jose interpreted all the phenomena that appeared in the Mayan civilization only in connection with the Rattlesnake and Rattlesnake worship beliefs. Some of his research provided fresh ideas to academia, but his arguments resulted in being ignored by too "sparkling" a wind. Anyway, he passionately explained what he had revealed, citing various evidence that the Rattlesnake faith served as the center of culture not only in Mexico but also throughout Central America. The ancient Mayans called themselves chanes, or snakes. This is because snakes, especially rattlesnakes, were very sacred and spiritual animals. They had a very deep faith in snakes and had their own initiation of faith. Just as Jews and Muslims declared that Christians were God's chosen sons in baptism, just as Jews and Muslims performed whaling surgery ( circumcision) on a boy, Maya's children, at least aristocratic children, had to hold a ceremony to flatten their heads. This ritual is very painful and sometimes even kills children, so it cannot be seen as a simple fashion as anthropologists argue. If the ritual was a simple fashion (fashion), which parent would abandon their children to such an unnecessary and painful ritual? The only and reliable explanation for this ritual was that it was implemented for religious purposes. Head-flattening was intended to make children so-called "polcan," or snake-like flat hair. Through this process, the children were accepted as members of the snake family, Chanes, and the Third Eye, eventually, the aristocrats of the ancient Mayans were all incorporated into the noble society after this ceremony. King Pakal and his son Chan Balum were no exception. But why were they obsessed with this consciousness even though they sometimes went through extreme situations that killed children? Let's say that it is a dimension of religious consciousness to become like a snake head because it is a family of snakes, as Jose argues. Another question comes to mind. Was the head of a flat snake simply trying to resemble the shape of a snake, or was a deeper meaning hidden in it? No one will be able to give an accurate answer to this. Jose will be the first and last to think about connecting migraine and rattlesnake. However, recent research results related to this have attracted attention. Professor Michael Coe, a Maya scholar, argued that the Mayans devoted themselves to developing psychic abilities and that evidence emerged that they themselves developed unexpected psychic abilities. He said, "The monarch of Maya had a separate ego or alter ego called vay, and this alter ego had the form of an animal (anything from jaguars to mice) that came into contact through dreams." He also said, "In certain buildings in Maya cities, there seems to have been special bedrooms for Maya kings to explore fantasy." In other words, like the natives of Australia, they used their dreams to predict the future and understand the present. This may be a clue to the secret of migraine that the Mayans were obsessed with even at the expense of a child's life. It was to develop spiritual abilities from an early age. In fact, after returning home, the reporter asked Korean engineers what hints they could get about the migraine. They consistently answered that migraine behavior would have been a ritual to develop a third eye (an eye that can see the soul of humans) inside the forehead. Then, was the migraine in Gaya also a way for the aristocrats of Gaya to develop spiritual abilities? Were they perhaps female priests who held ancestral rites and looked at the movements of heaven? Korean Migraine Culture 1) "When a child is born, he/she soon tried to make a flat head by pressing his/her head with a stone." So, all the people who are strong today are Pyeondu 2) Pyeondu was the dignity of the King of Silla, and the horse was borrowed Beomeum (Skrit).Because it is the hometown of Gunja ……Choi Chi-won, the epitaph of Great Master Jijeung 1) is an article explaining the history and customs of the same-family countries that existed at the same time while Jinsu, a historian during the Qin Dynasty of China, described the history of the Three Kingdoms Period (220-265 AD). Historians say that the word "Dong" is a term used by Chinese to refer to our people. Since Jinhan also describes an ancient homogeneous country, this record must undoubtedly describe the customs of our ancestors around the 3rd century AD. 2)It is an article left by our ancestors themselves whether they were disappointed with this simple Chinese record in 18 Chinese characters. It is engraved on the monument of Great Master Jijeung by Choi Chi-won, a great scholar at the end of Silla. It is unusual for King Silla to use strange words at the forefront. This monument is still intact at Bongamsa Temple in Mungyeong, Gyeongsangbuk-do. Word of mouth and records like this are being found in the opposite regions of the Earth, and in ancient times when it is impossible to think of winning transportation such as airplanes. In the Mayan civilization, Choi Chi-won's record that the restraint of the aristocratic class or higher flattened their heads and that the old kings of Silla were migraine as symbols of their dignity shows a strange agreement.
It may also be more logical that one day in history, a migraine fashion group in Asia crossed the Pacific via Japan or across the Bering Sea and transplanted culture directly from the Americas, rather than explaining that the Asian races across the Bering Sea originally migrated on the two continents. In fact, there are scholars who argue for it. They are not Korean scholars, but Chinese scholars. Wang Xuanzheng (cultural scholar), who became famous as a best-selling writer in China for his book Yongbong Cultural Center, presented various physical evidence found in China and Mexico, claiming that Olmec culture, the first civilization in Central America, was founded by the refugees, the Qin Dynasty. In the meantime, he also collected and announced the following historical events. It happened when Gu Yang-gyeong, a diplomat from the Qing Dynasty in 1910, discussed compensation for about 300 Chinese killed during the Mexican Revolution two years ago in Mexico. At that time, more than 100 Mexican Indio visited the Mexican Embassy in Qing Dynasty and petitioned for his request. There are a total of 750, of Indians killed during the revolution. Our Indian, the Infubo, is of Chinese descent, so please protect us so that we can be compensated," he said. Surprised by this, Gu Yang-gyeong immediately sent a report to the Foreign Ministry of the Qing Dynasty, and King Seonjogun Regent at the time sent the following full text. Currently, this document is an official diplomatic document and is stored in the data storage office of Yangmyeongsan Foreign Ministry in Taiwan. The Indian Eunbokpo people call themselves Chinese, and although there is no legal basis, it would be better to receive compensation. Currently, there is no fact of Dongcheon of Eunmin among the Chinese, and it is said that it has been 3,000 years since the Indian people have been told that they are of Chinese descent, but it cannot be helped. Regardless of the fact that Koo Yang-kyung should be appointed as the first consulate-general after finishing his job as an envoy to Mexico, the surprising thing is that Mexican Indians themselves claimed to be descendants of the Nara from China. And it has been 3,000 years since the city was established. This argument is a fresh shock that we can see our ancient history with new eyes. It will be interesting to explore Mexican cultural relics and infer and judge the connection with our culture.
