Tahuantinsuyo,
in ancient Quechua language, is the name indicating the Inca Empire, one of the
largest of the South American continent, much more than the Aztec and Maya
Empire. In 1532 BC, the Inca Kings ruled over a geographical region including
Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Chile and Argentina. It was an extensive
territory inhabited by different communities. Among them, the national group
Q’eros had a very special role, because of the characteristics of their
mythological traditions.
One of the
most fascinating tales refers to the myth of Cuzco’s founding, the majestic
capital of the great Inca Empire, with its mysterious buildings. Q’eros were
direct descendants of the Inca priest caste, and they broke off through the
internal areas of Peru, to save themselves from Spanish persecution and murder.
They were
able to save a great part of their ancient documents, trying to ward off the
impending storm of Spanish expedition.
The myth of
Cuzco’s (or Cusco) foundation is a very interesting matrix, because of the
circumstances and particularity of narration. The myth persists to this day due
the Peruvian writer Garcilaso de la Vega. Nicknamed El Inca by the Spanish
because of his very indigenous features, he was a result of the marriage
between his Spanish father and his royal Inca mother.
“General
History of Peru” is the title of his famous book, written in 1617 during his
residence in Spain. In 1609, the writer established in Spain, where he wrote
another well-known book “The Royal Commentaries of the Incas”, based on very
precious novels told by Peruvian population living in Cuzco during his visit to
the ancient capital of Inca Empire.
The history
told about the great hero Manco Capac, the sun god Inti’s son. His father
called him to build the new Capital of the Empire, because it was in downfall.
“Near to the Titicaca Lake, the people lived
like savages, since they don’t have any kind of religious guides that bring
them together. They also do not have any kind of agricultural techniques and
textile abilities, and that is the reason why they were naked, living on the
caves, eating wild animals and eating the fruits that are in their region. The
Sun god has concern about these people, and decides to bring them out to his
sons, Manco Capac and Mama Ocllo, who were also husband and wife, to civilize
these people. Manco Capac teaches to the men how live in society and worship
the Sun god, and Mama Ocllo teaches to the women tasks like textiles and
domestics labors. Their father, the Sun god told them to search for a fertile
and good land to found the empire, this land was the region of the Titicaca
Lake, and gave to Manco Capac a golden stick, the one that if it sinks that’s
the sign of the promised land. When they came to the Lake, the people who lived
around thought that they were gods, because of his clothing and jewelry. Days
go by and they can find a good place to found their city, but one day they came
to a place where the golden stick sinks, and decide to found their empire”.
I refer to
the story because of the several weird points which it seems to contain. One of
them refers to the ‘golden stick’ Inti wants to offer to his son Manco Capac.
The golden stick had a very particular function— to locate the precise area
where Cuzco, the new capital of the Inca Empire, was to be built.
The golden
stick used by Manco Capac, the future king, is a recurring tool we can find in
a great part of the ancient iconographies reproducing the Gods. They often
handed down the sticks as expression of their power over tribes and populations
where they were worshipped. According to academic theories— upon which the
science, such as archaeology, is based— the stick handed by the ancient gods is
accepted as part of the nature of things. Archaeologists considered it as an
axiom, and by its very nature, any other consideration can be accepted.
Generally, the scepter— also including the stick as part of the divine
symbolism—was considered as expression of secular supremacy and divine power in
all post diluvium cultures. Particularly, in the ancient masterpieces,
sovereigns, divinities and priests handed them.
During my
investigations into the ancient mysteries, I have often wondered what was the
origin of the scepter, or stick culture, and why was it connected to the divine
power? Has the special tool an origin coming from the distant past? And what
was its original purpose?
Analyzing
the ancient myth of Cuzco’s foundation, I noted some very intriguing clues
coming from two considerations:
- Manco
Capac and his sister-wife Mama Ocllo had to walk through mountains and valleys
for five hundred kilometers (310 miles), from Titicaca Lake to the promised
land, to find the place to sink the golden stick.
Is it
possible that during their walk they did not find a place where the golden
stick sank into the ground?
- The
golden stick has very interesting peculiarity, if combined with the laws of
physics.
I ask you
to assume for a moment that the ancient myth is really what happened, so the
legend of Manco Capac is true story. Now, I also encourage you to imagine the
two protagonists wandering around the Peruvian territories to find a place
having the special properties as the god Inti had indicated.
Considering
the wide area, is it possible that the two heroes could not find a place where
the golden stick would sink? What were the heroes looking for in particular? Is
there a connection between the golden stick and the place were Cuzco was built?
In 2012, in
Potenza (Italy), the 31st Congress on Geophysics took place, concerning the
Italian geophysics phenomena and some other scientifically interesting places,
all around the world. The Congress was managed by GNGTS (Gruppo Nazionale di
Geologia della Terra Solida - National Group of Geology on Solid Earth).
During the
conference, a group of Italian researchers of the Federico II University of
Naples, proposed a report, entitled Alterazioni di rocce tonalitiche nel
deposito AM-PB di Yanké Cuzco-Perù. (English version: The Yanque Prospect
(Peru): From Polymetallic Zn-Pb Mineralization to a Nonsulfide Deposit).
The purpose
was to investigate a large geographic area containing the place where the
ancient capital of the Inca Empire was built. Particularly, the investigation
refers to the type, quality, and composition of rocks and their formation
process along the geological Era.
The main
topic can be emphasized as follows:
“In that deposit (referred to the Cuzco area),
a magnetic analysis was carried out, which has highlighted many anomalies of
the rocks. Some of them are connected to magnetic rocks emerging on the
surface; some other anomalies refer to magnetic rocks buried in the
underground. Anomalies had a typical dipolar characteristic such as rocks forming
the equatorial areas. The research calculated and analyzed the signal to obtain
a better location of the magnetic sources. Monopolar transformation was able to
obtain a perfect spatial localization of all sources of anomaly. Since the
superficial rock suffered a strong disturbance erasing their magnetization,
analyzing the magnetic anomalies, and particularly, examining the sources in
the depth, it is possible to have a thickness of the superficial blanket
altered”.
What does
that mean?
Researchers
from University of Naples found some anomalies in the rock formation having a
dipolar characteristic, i.e. a system consisting in two opposite magnetic
charges in the two poles, the first one positioned at the surface and the other
one at a depth.
Therefore,
we can assume that the place where Cuzco was erected has a special
characteristic, which is an area where magnetism is particularly intense or
irregular, as claimed by the Italian researchers.
The purpose
takes into account the analysis of the rock formation during the geological
era. That is why we can state that the magnetic trend has a very ancient
property, because it is as early as the origin of the place.
So, if the
story of Cuzco foundation has the seeds of the truth, we can assume that the
knowledge of terrestrial magnetic phenomenon was well-known at that time.
Can we also
consider that the golden stick, which the god Inti gave to his son Manco Capac,
can have a connection with the magnetic fields detected at Cuzco, because of
its possible reaction in presence of magnetism?
In physics,
a scientific, quantum-mechanical event has been observed, known as
diamagnetism. Its magnetic properties are typical of all materials in the
presence of a magnetic field. Its peculiarity consists in a process of inverse
magnetization, when introduced to a magnetic field, and all materials are
weakly rejected.
In common
scientific experience, substances having a diamagnetic conduct are: water, most
organic substances, and very few metals, such as gold.
If the myth
of Manco Capac is history, the golden stick had a very precise scientific
purpose: to detect areas having anomalies in the magnetic field and, according
to the story, to reveal where the hero had to erect the new capital of the Inca
Empire.
Does the
founding myth of Cuzco hide clues of ancient knowledge? Does the story of the
god Inti and Manco Capac refer to events happened in the distant past and
handed down orally by Q’eros priests?
Probably we
must state that the difference between the myth and history is a subjective
interpretation above all, when scholars propose theories with no proofs. If
only for a moment, our mind could erase all theories concerning the ancient
past— which scholars daily teach in all schools, colleges and universities in the
world— and at the same time, we could focus our attention on the analysis of
that legend, we could have a demonstration.
In fact, we
could assume that between the two hypotheses, the scientific connection between
magnetic fields and Cuzco could be the main theory to be accepted. In fact, it
is based on a scientific process generally accepted in physics. Therefore, a
connection between the Inca Capital and the terrestrial magnetic field, as well
as the golden stick and the place where Cuzco was built, is confirmed by the
geomagnetic characteristics of the Peruvian area, which could have been
detected by an ancient tool reproducing a natural reaction of physics.
Mesoamerican
investigations are truly fascinating, because results – as well as legend or
historical fact – can be then involved in the study of the Egyptian mythology,
particularly the gods’ myths and the origins of the Giza Plateau.
Like with
Manco Capac’s history, the pharaohs Khufu and Khafre are keepers of ancient
knowledge, according the interpretation of the hieroglyphics forming their Horo
name. In my next article, I will make the connection between the fascinating
story hidden in their names and the pyramids.
I want to
remind that Giza was built where the magnetic field has many anomalies, like at
Cuzco, and the Egyptians Gods had the same stick as handed to Manco Capac.
There is a great connection among the two civilizations as result of a unique
and incomparable matrix from which they originated.
So many
coincidences cannot be unseen. The proposal is to discover the origins of the
unknown civilizations that built Giza as well as Cuzco, and all other enigmatic
monuments all around the world.
Comparisons
between civilizations’ costumes and traditions are a very important to discover
the mysteries of the past. From this path, researchers can understand
similarities among populations that never had contact.
