The Great Civilizer

Today we're going to talk about some of the lesser known

South American gods, which many believe were connected

to the gods of Sumer. These two gods I will talk about are

the great civilizers of the South and North American worlds,

and it's the story of where they came from, what they looked

liked and what they did that is the most interesting. It is also

believed that they were old, very ancient, and that belief

comes from the Incas themselves, who say explicitly that

the pyramids of the south were there long before they got

there.

The one I'm going to start with is the lesser known of the two.

I'm talking about the great teacher known as Viracocha. If

you're not familiar with South American culture, specifically

the Inca, then you've likely never heard of him. The story

comes from the Nazca and Cuzco area of Peru, where a

great temple, called the Coricancha, was dedicated to

Viracocha in the pre-columbian era. The Coricancha itself

no longer exists, or as described by Graham Hancock, it was

buried under layers of later architecture, specifically a

cathedral built by the spanish. The lower walls are very old,

and build extremely strong, and the spanish simply built on

top. The temple itself was said to be fashioned with over 700

sheets of pure gold, and even had a replica crop of corn in

the courtyard fashioned from gold, and where an idol of

Viracocha once stood as well.

Viracocha was the great creator deity of the incas, and taught

them just about everything they know, and helped build the

temples they used to worship. It is said that Viracocha looked

a lot like Saint Thomas. Described as being lean bearded white

man, with a long flowing cloak. This to me is rather odd, as the

Incas themselves did not fit this description, and it makes

Viracocha sound strikingly Caucasian. This is why when the

bearded Spanish Conquistadors to conquer the Inca lands,

they welcomed them with open arms. Fed them with unending

food, and lavished them with gold. It was because of this that

they gained the decisive victory over the more numerous Inca.

For me, Viracocha resembles other deities, specifically one from

ancient Sumer. In Graham Hancock's book, Fingerprints of the

Gods, Viracocha is described by ancient culture as the Foam of

the sea, a master of science and magic who wielded terrible

weapons and who came in a time of chaos to set the world to

rights. He was described by an early Spanish chronicler as being

able to turn mountains into valleys, and valleys into mountains and

cause streams to flow from living stone. It was said that he came

from the south, and traveled along the highland route to the north,

creating miracles as he went. Speaking of great love and kindness

and admonishing them to be good and to do no damage or injury to

one another, but to love one another and show charity to all. He later

went to the coast, though it's not clear which one, and disappeared

in amidst the waves, where they named him Viracocha, which means

‘Foam of the Sea’.

Now, for me, the god that he resembles from ancient sumer is one

i spoke of in an earlier article, and i have a sort of story from Zecharia

Sitchin's work to go with it. The one I speak of is Ningishzida, who

according to ancient Sumerian text was driven out of Egypt and sent

to the western world by his father, Enki, after fighting with his brother,

Marduk, over the rights to egypt. This same story was also outlined in

the Emerald Tablets of Thoth, where after the sinking of Atlantis, Thoth

arrived in egypt to rule over the hairy barbarians and erect great

monuments, such as the Great Pyramid.

I know this might seem like a bit of a stretch, but i encourage others to

do some research and you’d be surprised as to what kind of parallels

you will find. They all were masters of science and magic, and they

spoke of love and charity towards others. Different gods with the same

exact message and skills? All were civilizers and teachings, bringing

people up as they went. Some believed they were part of a group of

civilizers that traveled as far as North America, as the Hopi have very

similar stories. As much as they are described as different people,

through my research Im lead to believe they are likely one in the same

person. Making his way across the Americas, raising people up from

savagery and teaching them how to live and love one another.

Unfortunately i didn't get to the other god, so that will have to be a later

post in itself. I didn't realize how much I had to say about this one, but

it wouldn't be right if i didn't give the whole story, and in fact there is a

lot more i could've included. For more information on Viracocha, I

encourage people to check out the work of Graham Hancock, and his

book Fingerprints of the Gods for a wealth of information on ancient

Inca culture.
