That day has now come. Many of the ancient Peruvian goddesses and gods including Apointi, Capachuaca, Chasca, Huanacauri, Ilyapa, Mamacocha. Mamaquilla, Mama-Wanka, Manco-Wawki, Pacacamac, Pacamama, and Vairacocha have all come back to the Earth to serve the peoples of the planet. For their descriptions please see their individual pages which can be accessed from Deities Goddesses Gods. The religion of the Tiahuanáco area revolved around the creator god Vairacocha who was usually depicted with a radiant halo around his head, holding a staff in each hand. On the bas relief on the upper part of the "Sun Gate" at Tiahuanáco there was a image of a sun god. The monolithic "Sun Gate" has also been called the "Calendar Gate" because the gateway calendar sculpture was a repository for the astronomical, mathematical, and scientific knowledge of the ancient peoples of Tiahuanáco who counted using pictorial or conceptual units of measurement.
From analysis of the
arrangement of the geometrical elements on the Calendar Gate, researchers have
surmised that the original inhabitants of Tiahuanáco divided the circle both
mathematically and astronomically. They knew trigonometry and how to measure
angles and their functions. They were also able to calculate squares, square
roots, and fractions.
Although they do not appear to have used the duodecimal system, the number 11 and multiples of the number 11 frequently occurred. The Calendar Gate was an artistic masterpiece noted for the precision of its design. Different symbols were used to show sunrise, noon, and sunset solar eclipses. The calendar also gave other astronomical and geographical information including: the beginning of the year, the days of the equinoxes and solstices, and the latitude of Tiahuanáco. They must have used exceptional tools to cut, incise, and transport the extremely hard stone that they used as their building material. Since all the calculations, designs, and detailed plans needed to build a city as grand and imposing as Tiahuanáco required some form of writing and none of the ancient Peruvian cultures including the Inca had any form of writing, it has been speculated that perhaps the city was constructed by the Atlanteans who relocated there after the destruction of their island continent about 12,000 years ago. Further credence is lent to this idea by the fact that the original Tiahuanáco culture had no prior evolutionary roots in the area. It appeared suddenly, already fully developed. Then just as suddenly it disappeared.
Titicaca, which is
situated more than 13,100 feet above sea level in Peru in South America. Over
105 miles long, deep blue Lake Titicaca has been infused with the patina of
traditional folklore. It is the largest lake in the world... Continue on Go back
