Presently I'm reading the book: Ancient Titicaca, The Evolution Of Complex Society In Southern Peru And Northern Bolivia by Charles Stanish, 1956.
On page 206, here is what is written: Most of what we know about the great pre-Inca Aymara senorios of the Titicaca Basin comes from the information recorded by Cieza, Cobo and other early historians. In one of the most important quotes about the pre-Inca peoples, Cieza relates:
"Before the Inca reigned, according to many Indians from Collao, there was in their province two great lords (senores), one named Zapana and the other Cari, and these senores conquered many pucaras that are their fortifications, and that one of them entered Lake Titicaca, and found on the major island (Isla del Sol) bearded white people with whom they fought and put all of them to death. And more people say, that after (these events), there were great battles with the Canas and Canchis. (Cieza 1553: chapter 100).
More reports of white people in the Andes. Chachapoyas?
I'd like to get to the bottom of this mystery one day.
It reads, "Here may be found the last words of Joseph of Aramathia. He who is valiant and pure of spirit may find the holy grail in the Castle of Aaauuuggghhh..."
"Viracocha - and in some cases his 'men - was described as being a Caucasian, bearded man in some writings, with white skin, hair on the face and beautiful emerald eyes in others wearing long white robes and sandals, carrying a staff, with a cougar lying at his feet. He was a kind and peace-loving god."
Studying these ruins was among the most fascinating things I ever did in my life. I'm pretty sure my wife also enjoyed it as much as she did anything since we were married.
Stuff like this article fascinate me to the depths of my soul.
Our Latin teacher asked that he not share these sayings with us since, he was advanced for his age, but we were still battling with poohburty!
Wow, that's really cool, I'd never even heard the specifics of that before (just vague references to bearded folks).
"The Walker", La Venta. Note facial features and prominent beard.
Very neat. I'm not generally all that impressed with Graham Hancock, and am not familiar with the piece he's rejoinding (word?), but he seems to have done alright there.
Ditto. But, most of the searches on some of the names lead to his website. (at least the ones in English)
Christianity came early to the Basque Homeland. This is before Constantine.
