A TIWANAKU INVESTIGATION

ANCIENT ASTRONAUT THEORY 

Welcome to Ancient Astronaut Theory, formerly called The Andean Sky God Website. The new name arises from adding material that extends the theme beyond Andean archaeology. I'm Morten St. George, article and book author, amateur archaeologist, amateur astronomer, ancient astronaut investigator, and creator of this website.

This is a picture of me at the ruins of Tiwanaku (Tiahuanaco), ancient city of Bolivia, around the year 1993. There's also something else of note in the photograph. Up above the doorway of the arch, the engravers of Tiwanaku depicted their sky god. Ancient Astronaut Theory has more than a dozen articles that directly or indirectly relate to the Tiwanaku sky god. It is safe to assume that these articles will argue that this sky god was an ancient astronaut. An ancient astronaut is a creature who came to Earth from a faraway planet.

ANDEAN ARCHAEOLOGY

Beyond the image that you see here on top of the doorway of the Gateway to the Sun, the artists of Tiwanaku made numerous detailed engravings of their sky god. The articles and accompanying drawings on this website will reveal that these engravings depict an aquatic creature wearing a helmeted spacesuit. It will be shown that the depicted creature is clearly non-human, having two upper appendages ending in four fingers each, but a single tail breaking into three appendages, each one ending in a pod. It will also be noted these engravings indicate that the devices the alleged ancient astronaut holds in his hands were capable of creating an anti-gravitational field around the creature, enabling it to rise up off the ground and fly through the air.

On a related matter, the archaeological articles on this website will present strong evidence that the famous Nazca Lines of Peru were not made by the people of Nazca but by the Tiwanaku empire of Bolivia. Since the origins and purpose of the Nazca Lines have mystified archaeologists for decades, this is a finding of major significance, regardless of whether or not you want to believe that the Tiwanaku sky god was an ancient astronaut.

The remaining articles on this website will attempt to resolve the following enigma: Why would an ancient astronaut want to physically present himself to the primitive peoples of the Andes and apparently ignore the highly advanced civilizations of Europe? Radiocarbon dating in the Andes places the initiation of the Tiwanaku sky god epoch and the Nazca Lines at around the late sixth century or early seventh century of the Christian Era, but from that time period there are no archaeological signs, anywhere in Europe, of the appearance of an ancient astronaut.

ALIEN INTERVENTION

Though all was quiet in Europe at that time, there does indeed seem to have been a lot of unusual activity in the Middle East, where major instances of new mythology suddenly arose. This is significant because, now six centuries into the Christian Era, humankind was long past the mythological phase of ancient times. The new mythology of the seventh century fell into two broad categories:

ISLAMIC MYTHOLOGY

According to this mythology, the Islamic religion began in the early seventh century when the archangel Gabriel appeared to the prophet Muhammad. The mythology indicates that Gabriel was of enormous stature, his wings spreading out to encompass an entire mountain, and that Gabriel made countless appearances to Muhammad, spread across more than two decades, each time verbally dictating (Muhammad was unable to read) part of a book known as the Koran (Quran). The articles on this website consider the possibility that the Tiwanaku alien wrote the Koran and then fabricated the archangel Gabriel to transmit it to Muhammad.

Today, Islam is one of the world's most backward religions, but that was not always the case. During the Middle Ages, the Islamists led the world in the arts and sciences. Through direct contact with the Europeans via conquests and the Crusades, the intellectual activity of the Islamists passed over to the Christians, helping to pull western Europe out of the Dark Ages and into the period of its history known as the Renaissance.

KABBALISTIC MYTHOLOGY

Unlike the Islamists, the Kabbalists made no clear and lucid rendering of their myths but nonetheless they can be put together easily enough from diverse cryptic sources. In brief, these myths attribute the origins of this religion to Elijah the Prophet, of biblical fame, who decided to return to Earth, making numerous fiery descents in his Chariot, each time delivering, chapter by chapter, two books in succession (unlike Muhammad, the Kabbalists knew how to read), a book called the Book of Creation and a book known as the Revelations. The myths speak of these encounters as having occurred in a Babylonian desert and as coinciding with the beginning of the Geonic period. In other words, the Kabbalah encounters with Elijah would have occurred simultaneously with Muhammad's encounters with Gabriel, and in a nearby location. This website will consider the possibility that the Tiwanaku alien wrote those two books and then fabricated the prophet Elijah and his Chariot to deliver them to the Kabbalists.

Today, the Kabbalah, like Islam, is one of the world's most backward religions, but that was not always the case. A couple of centuries after the descent of Elijah, the Kabbalists migrated to western Europe, where they found themselves able to undertake an enormous amount of intellectual activity in relative freedom. Little by little, the intellectual activity of the Kabbalists spread outwards to the Christians who surrounded them, helping to push western Europe into the period of its history known as the Renaissance.

The Koran (an Arabic classic) and the Book of Creation (a Hebrew classic) have survived into contemporary times but the Revelations of Elijah mysteriously vanished somewhere along the way. Several articles on this website consider the possibility that passages from the Revelations of Elijah, in French translation, resurfaced in the 16th century inside Nostradamus' book of prophecies. This is a serious matter as it will be shown that those prophecies provide multiple pointers back to the ancient Andes of South America. Some of these articles include evidence and speculations on alien time travel.

Ancient Astronaut Theory maintains that there was major alien intervention into human history for our benefit, not in prehistoric or ancient times, but in relatively more recent medieval times.

SETI ASTRONOMY

Ancient astronaut theory is unlikely to become ancient astronaut history until such time that SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) is able to make contact with the alien's civilization. A couple of articles look at the archaeological and written legacies of the ancient astronaut for signs and clues on where to search for his home planet. Astronomers connected with SETI may wish to take a look at those pages.

ALIEN OUTLOOK

Several decades ago, the alien claims of charlatans discredited the theme of ancient astronauts in popular culture, and ancient astronaut theory has yet to recover from the damage done by those charlatans. But the outlook is not completely bleak. The Internet has become very popular in recent years and, in theory, close to a third of the world's population has access to this website. It is only a matter of letting them know it is here. You can help by informing your friends that a fully comprehensive ancient astronaut theory is now online.
