Chapter 586 Fourteen Worlds
As the largest religion in the world now.
Back then, the church collected various ancient books from all over the world.
Many things are now hidden in the underground secret archives of the Vatican.
It’s just that no one in the world knows it.
Not to mention the world, even some bishops who belong to the same Holy See.
No one knows some core secrets.
Since the last time we discovered the ship-shaped thing in Mount Ararat.
It is a creation of super ancient civilization.
It doesn’t matter whether it’s Noah’s Ark or not.
Yes and no.
Because this is a very important publicity opportunity for the Holy See.
Just like several holy objects in Christianity, the Shroud of Turin, the Spear of Longinus, and the Holy Grail.
Do you think it’s true?
If you are a believer, of course you think it is true. After all, this is what the church has recognized.
But are these sacred objects on display really real?
After returning from Mount Ararat, Celia was idle in the Holy See.
It seems like he is under house arrest.
The matter of Noah's Ark has nothing to do with Celia.
The person who stares at Selia every day is Hussein.
In name, she is protecting Celia. After all, Celia is also a saint.
But Celia is in the Holy See now, does she still need protection from others?
Hussein just stood beside Celia, silently watching TV with Celia. Ye Zhen in.
"African Dogon people?" Hussein seemed to have thought of something.
Selia turned her head and lowered her eyes without sadness or joy, "Knight Hussein, do you know this Dogon person?"
Hussein half-knelt on the ground, lowered his head and said: "Saint, when I was still training in the temple."
"I was still an ordinary knight."
"The Holy See once sent us to a place in Africa to perform a mission."
"We brought back many murals and some manuscripts of research materials."
"When we were sorting them out, I just read the content.”
Because the knights who can enter the temple have been strictly screened.
Everyone is very loyal.
Some secret information needs them to sort out.
“Oh?” Saint Celia was slightly surprised, “Then what did you see.”
“Why did you go there?”
Although Celia knew that the church had been sending various personnel to operate in the world since its birth.
But the actions here are very secretive.
No one will know except the person involved.
Who exactly did the church send to where?
Hussein's eyes were full of fanaticism, "To destroy the infidels, this is the Crusade."
When he said this, Hussein only had the light of glory in his eyes.
That is the idea of sacrificing oneself for the glory of the Lord.
Celia was silent.
Anyone who knows the history of Christianity knows that in order to make others believe in Christianity.
To pursue the expansion of faith, but launched several so-called holy wars.
The purpose is to get the other party to change their beliefs and believe in the Cross.
Even places like Africa are no exception.
Hussein said solemnly: "I remember that the Dogon people's resistance was very fierce at that time."
"Even when they were about to be exterminated, they refused to change their beliefs."
“They were driven away directly from their original homes by us.”
"The people from the Holy See asked us to collect all their information and cultural relics."
Celia has a doubt here.
Why does the Holy See collect these pagan things?
Shouldn’t these things be burned on the spot?
Just like when they invaded the American continent, they destroyed other people's civilizations.
Such was the Aztec civilization.
But now that I heard what Hussein said, wouldn’t these things be burned?
Maybe it was hidden by someone from the Holy See?
"A secret archive room underground?" Celia knew there was such a place.
If you say where these things are most likely to be, it must be the underground secret archives of the Vatican.
Hussein recalled the myths recorded in the Dogon tribe.
"Those pagan evil gods are a blasphemy against God." Hussein thought of the myths and legends of the Dogon people.
That is different from the myths and legends of other civilizations in the world today.
The Dogon people are still separated from modern society.
The only one that is more famous is the Dogon people’s fishing festival.
Legend has it that the Fishing Festival was the day when Nomu and the others first came to Blue Star.
To commemorate this day, the Dogon people will hold a feast.
The most important thing in a feast is the fishing in the holy lake.
The Dogon people have a sacred lake. It is said to be a holy lake, but it is actually just a place like a small fish pond.
According to legend, this is the place where Nomu originally descended.
But times have changed, and Africa is already short of water.
A place where there is a water source and fish, for a place like Africa.
It is no exaggeration to say it is a holy place.
It is in such a place similar to a small fish pond.
The local Dogon people will flock to the sacred lake during the fishing festival.
The purpose is to catch a fish in it.
Whoever can catch a fish will have good weather and good health in the coming year.
The prey you catch will also increase.
Speaking of it, this fishing festival is similar to the Chinese New Year in other places in the world.
It is the biggest festival of the year.
Selia asked Hussein, "What are these pagan myths about?"
Hussein hesitated, "In the legends of the Dogon people."
"Their world has a total of fourteen dimensions, from top to bottom, a total of fourteen worlds."
"The ground of each world is the sky of the previous world."
"The center of the world is penetrated by a sky pillar."
"Each world has a creation god, who is the manager of each world, and his name is Ama."
" The fourteen worlds are divided into seven upper realms and seven lower realms.”
Speaking of this, if you often read novels.
You must think this is so much like something from a fantasy novel?
Unexpectedly, at this point, Ye Zhen in the program was also introducing the myth of the Dogon people.
Ye Zhen clasped his hands together and looked at the camera, "Everyone knows that different civilizations have different myths and legends.
The Dogon people are no exception, but for some reasons.
Today's Dogon people have been polluted by modern civilization
In addition, they have been driven away from their homes
A lot of the content has actually disappeared.
Because the Dogon people have no written language, everything is passed down through the most primitive oral tradition.
In the mythology of the Dogon people, their world is like a flat surface.
It is the same concept as our Chinese idea of a round sky and a square place.
The sun and moon are constantly rotating above.
But in the world of the Dogon people, there are fourteen in total, which are like candied haws pierced through a sky pillar.
The world above is stronger, and the manager of each world is called Amma.
This Amma can be said to be the creator god, or their manager.
At the edge of every world, there is a big snake named Yugulu.
Do you think it looks familiar? It’s like Jörmungandr.
They are all world snakes, surrounding the entire world.
The fourteen worlds are divided into different levels, with different strengths and weaknesses.
We humans are the weakest in the world.
The creatures on each level are different.
There were no humans in the world at that time. The founder first created the Nomu clan, which was half fish and half human.
Let Nomu come to the world. At that time, Nomu mastered the knowledge taught by the creator god Amma.
The creatures in the upper world have always looked down upon the creatures in the lowest world.
From time to time, I throw all kinds of plagues and disasters into the lower world.
Let the creatures in the lower world be destroyed again and again.
Finally created, Nomu felt that she could no longer live like this.
Nomu learned that their universe, that is, their world, is layered.
They are at the lowest level of the world, the weakest and the lowest.
Nomu wanted to stop being persecuted by the thirteen upper worlds.
Deciding to overturn the table means breaking your own world.
Broken the Tianzhu.
This suddenly broke the sky.
The lowest world, that is, the world where Nomu lives, is the foundation of the universe.
It's like a floor in a building.
The residents on the first floor directly smashed the first floor and the accompanying load-bearing columns.
All the upper worlds collapsed and the entire universe was restarted.
All living beings became dead souls in this destruction of the universe.
Only a handful of creatures survived.
There are nomu here, and the last two nomu survived.
They took the doomsday ship and arrived in the ruins of the world.
Human beings are the creatures born in this new era.
It is a species born from the souls of the previous fourteen worlds. ”
