ANCIENT ASTRONAUT THEORY: ALIEN ARCHAEOLOGY #3

TIWANAKU ALIEN
AND CUZCO ARCHAEOLOGY *

In pursuit of an alien artifact

Erich von Däniken and other propagators of ancient astronauts have provided us with dozens of drawings of aliens from primitive peoples or the ancient world. Some of drawings seem convincing as they resemble Hollywood images of aliens, or perhaps Hollywood derived their images of aliens from these drawings? There are drawings of men with wings and there are drawings of men with fish tails. This leaves us with a quandary on how to distinguish the Tiwanaku (Tiahuanaco) drawings of an ancient astronaut - sometimes depicted as a bird-man and sometimes as a fish-man - from the imagined gods, spirits, and monsters of other ancient peoples.

There are two things to look for: 1) signs of evolutionary features differing from features found in Earth creatures, and 2) signs of advanced technology. With respect to the first point, we note that the Tiwanaku alien has a) an aquatic tail that does not resemble the tail of any known fish or animal, b) facial features that are definitely not Earth-like, and c) four-fingers on the forward arm appendages versus the five usually found on the more-highly evolved earthlings. See the Tiwanaku Alien and the Nazca Lines pages for these depictions.

On advanced technology, we note that the Tiwanaku sky god had a) an astronaut's helmet that resembles the helmets used by human astronauts (inclusive of wide visor to maximize visibility), b) a water or liquid-filled spacesuit, c) hand-held instruments that expanded and contracted, d) the ability to fly without wings, and e) a front-mounted communications device. Once again, please see the Tiwanaku Alien and the Nazca Lines pages for the respective depictions.

In the 16th century, in the Temple of Cuzco (Cusco), the Spanish conquistadores found a rectangular plaque that was said to be a replica of an ancient Snn Disk (which was round in shape; it seems "round" was sacred in the Andes, causing the Andeans to shun development of the wheel). The Spanish melted down the plaque for its gold content, but not before the images on the plaque were recorded. There are several things to note about these images:

1) The ancient Andeans believed that the aliens traveled past the stars in a round spaceship that became oval-shaped when it approached the speed of light (represented by the zigzag ray).

2) The ancient Andeans knew that the dark clouds of deep space contained stars inside them and that the aliens came from one of those stars. (Dark nebulae protect evolving life forms from deadly cosmic-ray bursts that otherwise would periodically wipe out life throughout the galaxy).

3) The ancient Andeans knew that the aliens were aquatics (represented by the fish tails and fish-fin arms in this drawing).

4) The ancient Andeans believed that there was a parallel universe (represented by the mirror images of nebulae and stars to the right and left of the drawing).

5) The ancient Andeans believed that the alien spaceship was capable of orbiting the Earth at the speed of light (represented by the rainbow of seven bands around the Earth) making it capable of traveling through time (represented by "the river of time" crossing the Earth), with half the alien spaceship present in one universe and the other half disappearing into the parallel universe.

The Aymara and Quechua languages of the Andes are globally unique and notorious for their concept of time. Speakers of those languages tend to think of future events as having occurred in the past and vice versa. It's a strong indication that the Andeans had direct verbal communications with the sky god, who influenced their thinking. The Andean languages reflect the fundamentals of time travel.

6) The ancient Andeans knew that there were two major kingdoms of life, the animal kingdom (represented by the puma) and the plant kingdom (represented by the tree). They also knew that water (represented by the pond of water) was the basis of both life forms..

7) The ancient Andeans knew that the aliens came here to observe (represented by the seven eyes) the evolutionary process on Earth, across time.

The above drawing replicates a re-creation by anthropologist Fernand Schwarz in Les Traditions de l'Amérique ancienne (Spanish version: El Enigma Precolombino). Schwarz claims to have re-created the Sun Disk plaque from minor reproductions found on original Inca relics that are still extant. Many of these Sun Disk images can also be found in the chronicle of the Inca Juan de Santa Cruz Pachacuti, 1613.** Note that the Sun is depicted as shining on the Moon, which in turn is reflecting the sunlight back on to the alien spaceship. True, the ancient Andeans are imitating the graphics of the Nostradamus prophecies by placing a face on the Sun, but surely they did that only to ensure the survival of the Sun Disk images. Without a face on the Sun, we almost certainly would not be looking at these images today. Of course, the ancient Andeans had no particular liking for Western astrology. Indeed, they never noticed the star constellations of Western civilization and went on to create their own constellations, constellations made up of dark nebulae.

This is enlargement of an alien image on the Sun Disk. There are lots of drawings of an aquatic aliens from the sky-god epoch of Tiwanaku, but they are not of this type. According to insinuations in the sky god's writings, the Plaza of Cuzco in Peru (or whatever was there around the year 600) was one of the (two) places of contact between him and the Andeans. Thus, there are two distinct archaeological trends to consider: the Cuzco region of Peru and the Tiwanaku empire which included Nazca. Cuzco symbolized the aquatic nature of the sky god with fish fins and the Tiwanaku artists employed fish-head symbolism.

Unlike the situation in Tiwanaku, there is no surviving archaeological evidence of direct contact between the Andean sky god and the Incas in the main square of Cusco (Plaza de Armas del Cuzco) around the year A.D. 600. Information on that event comes from another source, which is nonetheless highly reliable. Upon their return to Cusco many centuries later, the Incas evidently knew that this particular place was sacred, which is why they turned it into a plaza, built their sky-god temple (Coricancha) on the edge of it, and made it (the plaza) the central point of their empire. 

This sculpture (Tiwanaku museum in La Paz) reminds us of the Cuzco drawing in the sense of depicting a creature with fish-fin arms. It emphasizes the alien's communications device, which in the sense of direct artistic representation, is the feature most in common between the drawings of the Cuzco and Tiwanaku civilizations. But, to reiterate, this primitive artistic style bears little resemblance to the refined art of Tiwanaku during its sky-god epoch - the seventh century, nor to Tiwanaku art of any earlier epoch (also primitive but without fish). The soldiers of Tiwanaku no doubt found this sculpture on their northern conquests and brought it back to Tiwanaku. For obvious reasons, a transparent visor cannot be depicted in either engravings or sculptures, but here we may be viewing the only surviving depiction of the ancient astronaut's helmet in three dimensions.

It is virtually certain that Tiwanaku conquered Cusco as evidenced by the above statue and other relics that they brought back to Tiwanaku. However, Tiwnaku never gained possession of the Sun Disk. Again, the Incas had to have fled to the tropics, taking the Sun Disk with them.

Apparently, Hollywood does not like aquatic aliens. They have provided us with almost every type of humanoid and air-breather imaginable, but aquatics? It seems the idea of filling up an astronaut's helmet with water and then attaching a communications device to the exterior (for talking through air) has never occurred to the Hollywood writers. If Hollywood can't imagine aquatic aliens, are we really to believe that the ancient Andeans imagined them?

Here, the trident staff of the Inca king symbolizes the alien's tripod tail (see the first Tiwanaku Alien and Nazca Lines article for depictions of the tripod tail). We also see that the alien's communications device has become the logo of the Inca kings. In his written legacy, the alien informs us that the last of the Inca kings adopted his name (the alien's name) as his surname. Evidently, aliens, like humans, have names. Please visit the La Profecía website for more information.

"The Incas were a clan that evaded being absorbed by the Tiwanaku and Wari empires. They escaped to the tropics and hid out there for centuries before emerging to create their own empire. And through all that time they kept alive memories of the sky god. Their knowledge of the sky god vastly exceeded the knowledge acquired by Tiwanaku. Only the Incas knew that the sky god came from the stars and not from the sea."

"Only a fool would believe that the pre-Columbian cultures were capable of figuring out that the dark nebulae of the Milky Way contained stars within, or that it was possible to orbit the Earth. Serious consideration needs to be given to the alien artifact theory."

The Andean Sky God - great master of time travel.

*The title of this article has been changed from Tiwanaku Alien and Wari Archaeology to Tiwanaku Alien and Cuzco Archaeology. The region of Cuzco (Cusco) fell into the Wari (Huari) empire of Peru but the material on this page pertains more specifically to Cuzco and the Incas. 

** An earlier version of this article referred to the Inca Guaman Poma. My apologies. I am trying to recall things I saw some twenty years ago. Poma made the "Amaro" drawing on the Tiwanaku Alien and Nostradamus Prophecies - 2 page.

"On the one hand, the sky god wanted to leave us the archaeological legacy of Tiahuanaco and Nazca. There can be no other explanation for his not informing the people of Tiahuanaco that he came from the stars and allowing them to believe that he lived in the sea. On the other hand, the sky god wanted us to know about his Sun Disk, reported to be capable of amplifying the rays of the Sun. The Incas did not destroy the Sun Disk. It is doubtful that they could have destroyed it even if they wanted to. They merely hid it. We need to find the Sun Disk. Not only would it firmly resolve the mysteries of the Andes, it might solve the world's energy problem for centuries to come."
