The words of historians can only be used as one-sided words. Is the Indian civilization of North America also declining within itself?
There are many assumptions about the demise of the Mayan civilization, such as foreign invasion, population explosion, infection, climate change, internal wars, etc. I am more inclined to think that it is the influence of disease or climate. If we say war, it will only make national civilization stronger and stronger. Just say that the "four major civilizations" are related to the country, which country or empire was not expanded by war? A civilization or an empire must have the desire to conquer the whole world. Of course, for the Mayan civilization two to three thousand years ago, it was indeed a bit difficult, because at that time they could not even use iron and wheels, and the tropical rain forest was not as convenient as the big river basin to expand its territory.
If we insist that the decline and fall of civilization start from within ourselves, it can be far-fetched, but the key is that we lack initiative within ourselves—the desire to conquer. All civilizations begin with war, which regroups individual people, families, cities, and societies like a mud pill. Reborn from destruction.
Looking back at history, which of the dynasties of China was not established by war? Isn't China's territory opened by war? The British Empire, the Islamic civilization, the United States of America, the Crusades, Communism, and democracy and freedom. Which one of these characters survives without participation in war and survives forever? Although the Great Japanese Empire failed in the war, their aggressive and conquering spirit was very strong. This is why Japan's glory is now.
To live too peacefully, will inevitably be perished. No matter what the means. A civilization can only dance and sing around a campfire, it is better to be conquered and merge into another civilization. Later history remembers that we are not called the Han people, but the Chinese nation. The poor Mayan civilization left only the person whose father gave birth to a son, and this person is only a person from a small country now, and a "marginal person."
"Harmonious society", we must not forget to conquer. I think this is just a slogan and a slogan for a certain period of time. The river of conquest will always flow in the hearts of our Chinese nation.
If you don’t understand “conquest” and just think it’s war, it’s elementary school level. Any means to make civilization bigger and stronger is called conquest!

Let's talk about the impression of "Revelation".
Take off the collar after the dead, is this some civilized custom?
The protagonist of this film can really be called "tiger claw"! , The son of the jungle.
When he was lucky enough to be exempted from being a sacrifice due to the "solar eclipse", (Mel Gibson also played the scene when the sacrifice was beheaded, he also called Freedom at the time) his good shows, the good shows in this film Just staged. Watching the predators die in retribution. It is indeed necessary to relive the process of their deaths in order to highlight the true nature of the "Tiger Claw" son of the jungle and highlight the human instinct for survival.
The first one: the son of the leader of the predator: died under the rare "dagger" given to him by his father as a bar mitzvah. He wanted to kill "Tiger Claw" but was stabbed backhand by "Tiger Claw". This starts the "hunting" behind.
The second one: was bitten to death by a tiger.
The third one: was bitten by a poisonous snake and died.
Fourth: Fear of jumping into a waterfall and being stabbed to death by the leader.
Fifth: Jumping into a waterfall and hitting a reef to die.
Sixth: Injured by a bee sting, the "tiger claw" used a wooden thorn scented with poisonous toad venom and died of three stings in a row.
Seventh: The person who killed the "Tiger Claw" father was extremely jealous when the enemy met. In the battle, one round was hit by the "tiger claw" with a stone stick in the temple and died.
Eighth: The leader, nailed to death by the hunting tool used by the "tiger claws" to catch wild boars at the beginning of the film.
The ninth and tenth: It was taken away by the missionaries of the Western European Expedition. The whereabouts are unknown.
There are a total of nine hunters, which reminds me of a song by Daming’s school: Ten Fire Fighting Youth.
The wife of "Tiger Claw" was flooded by rain in the cave, and she happened to be able to give birth in the water, which was very touched. God's favor, natural way.
Later, "Tiger Claw" returned to the jungle to find a new beginning, which also reflected the fool's self-stupidity. Expeditionary forces in Western Europe have expanded their territories to the sea, and modern powers have expanded their space into the air. Alas, maybe people in the rain forest rarely see sunlight. No wonder the Vietnam War, the old and the United States are dragged in the quagmire, it is really annoying to conquer the rain forest, but the country in the rain forest has not been developed.
