Viracocha's Astronomical Creation Engine





What i find fascinating is that we have only two centuries of history and all countable.  The culture hero is inside a very reasonable span of oral history.  Is is possible that oral histories can only go back two centuries?

Our own book culture is itself only 400 years old and anchored by the KJB.  Yet consider that Henry 2 and Henry 7 could be read as contemporaneous except for the number.

The fact is that after a century, we have lost it all and what is left is usually an excellent oral narrative.  Think Homer now.  He lived these heros and created an oral tradition that was then retained perhaps two centuries.  I say this because language itself keeps drifting.

The events of Homer took place 1179 BC and was turned into a working narrative over the next 20 years.  that is when in 1159 BC, the tribes vacated the Baltic and mostly walked to Greece in a forced migration and fell upon Mycenae.  Mycenae had the Atlantean trade script.  Thus they had a wonderful opportunity to write down this material in their own language with the help of Homer.  All this was then stored in Athens at least.

Thus the Delian invasion came immediately after the 1159 collapse of the Atlantean world and brought the Greek language to the Aegean.  Homers work was then published about four centuries later under Solon i think, creating our first global best seller and likely informed the teaching of Greek before and after.

It is worth noting that a pair of oxen can pull a cart weighing 15000 pounds.  so it becomes clear how they could move from the Baltic through Europe over 1500 miles to Athens.  They do fifteen miles a day, so one hundred days will do it.  Of course their ships made it out into the Atlantic and sailed around through Gibraltar.  It was all feasible then ,just as folks left St Louis for California or Oregon.
with the same tool kit.

They were escaping a weather collapse then as tree rings tell us.

3,500 years ago, the southern shores of Lake Titicaca, situated in La Paz, Bolivia, were inhabited by the Tiwanaku culture who built stone super-structures such as; the Akapana, Pumapunku, the Kalasasaya and the Semi-Subterranean Temple. The Inca civilization later dominated the Peruvian Andes between the 13th and 16th century and inherited Tiwanaku cosmology, religion and traditions.
Supreme Creator and The First Man

According to a creation myth recorded by 16th century Spanish chronicler Juan Diez de Betanzos, the Inca’s supreme-creator god Con Tici Viracocha rose from Lake Titicaca “during the time of darkness to bring forth light.” Most often described as an old man with fair-skin and a beard, wearing a long robe and carrying a staff and a book, after crafting the sun, moon, planets and stars from islands on Lake Titicaca he created “a race of brainless giants from stone,” which he destroyed with a great flood. Viracocha then used clay and successfully forged the first man, Manco Capac (meaning: splendid foundation) the son of Inti the sun god, and his sister Mama Uqllu, which means "mother fertility".

Walking north from Lake Titicaca with a golden staff called ‘tapac-yauri’ when they reached the Cusco Valley the golden staff sank into the ground, founding the Inca civilization, the royal blood line of Sapo Incas, and the center of what would later become the Coricancha Temple of the Sun, a gold-plated super-structure of worship.




Having given his people language, emotions, civilization, agriculture and the arts, Viracocha then created all the animals and finally set the universe in motion before “journeying to the north-west, teaching humanity and the arts before he walked across the Pacific Ocean, promising one day to return to Lake Titicaca.”

Nine generations after Manco Capac founded Cusco with his golden staff, chronicler Garcilaso de la Vega tells us the 9th Inca ruler Sapa Inca Pachacuti created the Inti Raymi (Quechua for "sun festival”) to celebrate the winter solstice, the shortest day of the year, and new year in the Andes of the Southern Hemisphere. The Inti Raymi honored the sun god Inti, one of the most venerated deities in Inca religion, and the ceremony also honored the special day upon which Viracocha created Manco Inca, the father of the royal Inca bloodline. ...
