探索秘魯沙奈timpishka:世界上唯一一條沸騰的河流

Tourists in Peru probably only know Macha Picchu or Lake Titicaca, but forget that, deep in the Amazon jungle, there is another mysterious wonder.

在秘魯?shù)挠慰涂赡苤恢礼R卡比丘或的的喀喀湖，但忘記了，在亞馬遜叢林深處，還有另一個(gè)神秘的奇跡。

The vast world is always full of surprises, and one of those is this river which is full of boiling water, making tourists and also scientists in Peru struggle to find answers. Since ancient times, news about this river of death has been spread among the indigenous people, some of which claim to have found the river, and consider it a miracle.

廣闊的世界總是充滿驚喜，其中之一就是這條充滿沸騰的水的河流，讓秘魯?shù)挠慰秃涂茖W(xué)家努力尋找答案。從古代起，關(guān)于這條死亡河的消息就在土著人中傳播開來(lái)，他們中的一些人聲稱發(fā)現(xiàn)了這條河，并認(rèn)為這是一個(gè)奇跡。

The boiling river in Peru lies at the extreme east of the Huánuco Region, near the border with the Ucayali Region. This river of death is a small branch of the Pachitea River. The Pachitea River itself is a small tributary of the giant Ucayali River, one of the main sources of water flowing into the Amazon River. The boat that takes Peruvian tourists to the upper reaches of the river full of boiling water usually comes from the small border town Honoria, about 3 hours by car from Pucallpa, the nearest major city.

沸騰的河流在秘魯位于瓦努科地區(qū)的最東部，靠近烏卡亞里地區(qū)的邊界。這條死亡之河是帕切提亞河的一條支流，帕切提亞河本身是巨大的烏卡亞里河的一條小支流，烏卡亞里河是流入亞馬遜河的主要水源之一。秘魯游客乘坐的船通常來(lái)自邊境小鎮(zhèn)霍諾里亞，從最近的大城市Pucallpa開車大約3小時(shí)。

Travelers wishing to visit the river of death in Peru should look for an experienced guide, as the area is quite remote and inaccessible. Long-distance excursions and trekking to the river will also often depart from Pucallpa city. If you want to take part in a traditional healing ceremony at Mayantuyacu or another local center, be sure to contact your calendar in advance as volumes are limited and often require a reservation several weeks in advance.

The indigenous name of the river of death is Shanay-Timpishka, which translates as "Where the Sun Burns" in the Asháninka dialect. According to today's research, the water's temperature is below 100 ° C - not hot to boil, but certainly hot enough to kill any organism that would venture into it.

死亡河的名字是Shanay-Timpishka，在阿沙寧卡方言中，翻譯過來(lái)就是“太陽(yáng)灼傷的地方”。根據(jù)今天的研究，水的溫度低于100攝氏度——不是沸騰的溫度，但肯定足以殺死任何進(jìn)入其中的生物。

Since ancient times, the river of death has always been considered a place full of strength and spiritual significance. It is said that in the past, indigenous residents were afraid to enter this area because of fear of unjustly and cannibalism. Only the strongest mages dare to enter. Today, this mysterious river becomes the oldest and most famous center of spiritual healing in the region, named Mayantuyacu ("water and air").

死亡之河自古以來(lái)就被認(rèn)為是一個(gè)充滿力量和精神意義的地方。據(jù)說，在過去，土著居民害怕進(jìn)入這個(gè)地區(qū)，因?yàn)楹ε虏还褪橙?。只有最?qiáng)的法師才敢進(jìn)入。今天，這條神秘的河流成為該地區(qū)最古老和最著名的精神治療中心，名為瑪雅圖亞庫(kù)(“水和空氣”)。

Maestro Juan Flores, the mage of Mayantuyacu, is a member of the Asháninka clan and comes from a long lineage of wizards. According to him, the local people believe that the hot water is gushed out from the giant snake god Yacumama - the mother of Water, symbolized by a snake-head rock located on the upper reaches of the river. Although the surrounding area was quite devastated due to logging, but the area of the river is still preserved.

大師胡安·弗洛雷斯，瑪雅圖亞庫(kù)的法師，是阿沙寧卡氏族的一員，來(lái)自巫師的長(zhǎng)期血統(tǒng)。據(jù)他說，當(dāng)?shù)厝苏J(rèn)為這些熱水是從巨大的蛇神Yacumama——水之母——噴出的，以位于河流上游的蛇頭巖為象征。雖然周邊地區(qū)因伐木而遭到了嚴(yán)重破壞，但這片河流仍被保存了下來(lái)。

Many Peruvian tourists every year make a journey deep into the jungle, cross the mountain road to Mayantuyacu to immerse themselves in ancient healing methods. These methods include drinking a hallucinogenic tea called ayahuasca, as well as taking leaf-based pills and other herbal remedies.

每年都有許多秘魯游客深入?yún)擦?，穿過山路前往瑪雅圖亞庫(kù)，沉浸在古老的治療方法中。這些方法包括喝一種叫阿生花的迷幻茶，以及服用以葉子為基礎(chǔ)的藥丸和其他草藥。

Not only curious visitors, many scientists also want to decode Shanay-Timpishka's secret. And the most famous is probably the geologist Andres Ruzo, who is determined to go to the end of the truth. As a child, he heard stories about the boiling river in Peru from his own grandfather, who grew up nearby.

不僅是好奇的游客，許多科學(xué)家也想破解Shanay-Timpishka的秘密。最有名的可能是地質(zhì)學(xué)家安德烈斯·魯佐，他決心弄清真相。當(dāng)他還是個(gè)孩子的時(shí)候，他從在附近長(zhǎng)大的祖父那里聽到了關(guān)于秘魯沸騰河流的故事。

When growing up and pursuing the path of scientific research, Ruzo began to be skeptical of the childhood story and determined to seek answers. After consulting with other family members, he was able to pinpoint the location of the river of death in Peru, and made a trip into the woods to see it with his own eyes. What he discovered was the river in the legend of his childhood: a river with boiling water existed, a place so hot that any animal that unfortunately fell into it was instantly boiled.

長(zhǎng)大后，在科學(xué)研究的道路上，魯佐開始對(duì)童年的故事產(chǎn)生懷疑，并決心尋找答案。在與其他家庭成員商量之后，他確定了死亡河在秘魯?shù)奈恢?，并到樹林里去親眼看看。他發(fā)現(xiàn)的是他童年傳說中的那條河:有一條沸騰的水，那里非常熱，任何不幸落入其中的動(dòng)物都會(huì)立刻被水燒傷。

With his geological knowledge, Ruzo believed that the geothermal in the surrounding area had to be very high in order to heat an entire river. It is estimated that the temperature is even higher than an active crater. Finally, after years of being forgotten by world science, finally, the mystery of the river of death was finally explained by Mr. Ruzo himself.

憑著他的地質(zhì)學(xué)知識(shí)，魯佐相信，要想加熱整條河，周圍地區(qū)的地?zé)岜仨毞浅８?。?jù)估計(jì)，這里的溫度甚至比活躍的火山口還要高。在被世界科學(xué)界遺忘多年之后，死亡之河之謎終于被魯佐先生自己解釋清楚了。

When it rains in the Amazon rainforest, water soaks into the honeycomb-structured sedimentary rock. Due to the influence of the Earth's geothermal influence, rainwater will be heated, forming a hot spring-like flow to the Shanay-timpishka river.

當(dāng)亞馬遜雨林下雨時(shí)，雨水會(huì)滲透到蜂窩狀的沉積巖中。由于受到地球地?zé)岬挠绊?，雨水?huì)被加熱，形成像溫泉一樣的流到Shanay-timpishka河。

However, Ruzo's explanation has not satisfied scientists. And the Shanay-Timpishka river is still a mystery, attracting a large number of tourists and Peruvian people alike. Not only is it taking a vacation, making the soul calm, this is also a journey to the sacred area, seemingly only exists in mythology.

然而，魯佐的解釋并沒有讓科學(xué)家滿意。Shanay-Timpishka河仍然是個(gè)謎，吸引了大量的游客和秘魯人。這不僅僅是一次度假，讓靈魂平靜，這也是一場(chǎng)去往圣地的旅程，似乎只存在于神話中。
