THE WALLS OF CYCLOPS: TIAHUANACO
300 miles south-east of Cuzco, in what is now Bolivia, 44 or so miles west of the
modern city of La Paz, about 12 miles from the south end of Lake Titicaca, and
some 12,500 feet (well over 2 miles) above sea level in the Andes mountains, is
this:
The site is called Tiahuanaco. Today the local Aymara-speaking peoples call it
Tiwanaku which seems to me phonetically the same word, perhaps with the
pronunciation of a different dialect. 'Orthodox' scholars refer to the site as having
been founded in about 200-100 BC, or even as late as 100 AD. There seems to
be some concensus that Lake Titicaca was much closer to the site at its inception
than now. This would mean Lake Titicaca was much larger then. But no one has
apparently found strata to indicate such earlier high shorelines, or whether this is
possible with the present land configuration before the water would drain down
elsewhere. Others say it was settled by about 400 BC close by the Tiahanaco
river.
The 'Unorthodox' view is that the site is much older, perhaps 15,000 years old.
The intricate design work on the 'gateway' is said to be a long-term calendar and
more, recording a 290 day year and a different, smaller moon much closer to the
earth than the present large moon. The calculations are involved and complex.
This causes others to argue it is all 'in the eye of the beholder,' and that the
design is just intricate and artistic with no specific meaning. Here's another
example of the workmanship at this site, some of which has not weathered well:
I suggest this site is the closest we have come to the quality of the Osirion in
Egypt. Here's one more example of the remarkable precision in finished stone
production:
This statue appears to be of a male. It has the goggle eyes, squared mouth we
met in Sumer (Chapter 3). It also seems to have a breastplate, reminiscent of the
Urim and Thummim we met in the Bible: Exodus 28. 30, and Leviticus 8.8. That
relates to Aaron, the chief priest to the Israelite god or Immortal, Yhwh. Aaron had
to wear bells and use the Urim and Thummim to warn Yhwh of his approach, or
he might have been killed by mistake. (See my The Immortals, chapter 11). Urim
and Thummim are also mentioned in 1 Samuel 14.41, but if you're reading the
King James version you'd never know it. That's because the 30 or so scholars
assembled by the king to translate the Bible, thought the words might mean
casting lots to determine a course of action. But the New World translation has
"And Saul proceeded to say to Jehovah: 'O God of Israel, do give Thummim.'"
This translation has its own limitations though, as Yhwh is incorrectly rendered as
Jehovah. The misconception of the King James scholars is understandable.
There was no distance communication in 1611 AD except for ringing of church
bells, lighting of beacons on hilltops, and such like. But in the 21st century we
know better. Half the population seems to walk around with a cellular phone next
to an ear. The Biblical system apparently ceased to operate by the end of Saul's
reign, and shortly before that, communication was intermittent. For example, 1
Samuel 14.37 says 'Yhwh did not answer him that day,'
But back to Tiahuanaco. Let's look more closely at the image shown in the middle
of the gateway:
It's said to be an image of the local South American creator-god Viracocha. We
see the familiar goggle eyes and rays from the head (Chapter 2), one way of
expressing the being's brightness. It evolved over thousands of years into golden
crowns for royalty and halos around the heads of catholic saints. According to
one south-American legend, after the great flood Viracocha went
to a place now called Tiahuanacu and sculptured and designed on a great piece
of stone all the nations that he intended to create. This was because the world's
population had been almost completely destroyed in the great flood. Viracocha
was said to have been of medium height, white, and dressed in a white robe like
an alb, secured round the waist, and he carried a staff and a book in his hands.
We might add an alb was a white vestment reaching to one's feet, worn for
example by priests. Alb is just an anglicization of the Latin word albus, meaning
white.
Two more items are of interest to us at this site. One is that it's said there are
stone steps ranging up to 20 ft long, weighing many tons. If this is the case, it's
reminiscent of the reporting we had of the same phenomenon in India (chapter
12). Another is that some walls at Tiahuanaco have stone blocks with human-like
faces carved in embossed style:
Each one seems to be different, most seem to have the same headdress, and all
seem to have goggle eyes. We might remember that these eyes, 'wheel eyes ' as
the ancient Greek writer Homer described them, were the eyes of the Cyclopes, who were
Immortals. The one Odysseus blinded was a son of Poseidon, the sea god. Here,
at Tiahuanaco, almost all seem to have the square mouth. Perhaps the stone face
was chipped back to enable the sculptured heads to protrude. Elsewhere in the
Stone Civilization we found another technique. Designs or images sometimes do
not seem to be incised into the rock, they are embossed on to the exposed
dressed surface. We can do this today. For example, a steel door during its
manufacture has a design mould pressed on to the door sheet so that the metal
protrudes as a finished embossed design. We cannot do that with stone.
The much smaller blocks used in this wall may indicate a later phase of
construction. We found various stages of construction at Stonehenge, and in
Egypt with the pyramids: larger first, smaller, and less well finished later. If we are
right in thinking that, as the ancient Sumerian writers tell us, the Immortals initiated
civilizations and trained humans to do civilized work and supervised them, then
the smaller blocks and inset heads may have been the work of half-Immortals and
later humans of mixed Immortal-human descent. Creating a civilization involved
far more than merely working with massive blocks of stone. It required vast
irrigation systems; domesticating wild animals, alpaca and llama for example;
domesticating plants, quinoa, for example, a highly nutritious grain-like seed;
educating at least some of the populace to become literate; and so on. It is also
interesting that 'heaven' and 'high places' are used in reference to the Immortals,
and that one marker for Immortal presence in relatively low-lying or flat areas is
ziggurats, or stepped pyramids. There seems no earthly reason why humans
would have constructed such an elaborate and monumental site so high in the
Andes as Tiahuanaco, moving huge blocks of stone for considerable distances.
Why would former hunter-gatherers, after 5 million years suddenly develop the
expertise and inclination to create such massive works around the world, in Africa,
Europe, Asia, and South America? High places seem to have been preferred by
the Immortals, and mountainous areas were in use, such as high in the Andes at
Tiahuanaco, or in ancient Greece at Mount Olympos and Mount Ida, but we don't
know why.
There is another site, in North America, about 20 miles north east of present day
Mexico City, in Mexico. It's said to have been founded in about 200 BC and grew
rapidly in extent. The site includes a so-called Ziggurat of the Sun, a smaller one
of the Moon, and an 'Avenue of the Dead.' It's said that in its most flourishing era,
about 200 AD, the population reached over 125,000. By the 700s AD the site was
deserted and had begun a return to a state of nature and overgrowth. No one
knows who founded it, what language its people spoke, or why it collapsed.
Apparently no evidence of mass deaths has been found, indicating plague of
some kind overtook the population. Such evidence was found at a site in north-east ancient Egypt. This Mexican site is called Teotihuacan.
The fact that it apparently is composed of ziggurats and other construction using
relatively smaller blocks of stone, and not 100 ton megaliths, suggests
Teotihuacan is an example of the late stages of the Stone Civilization, bordering
on the Modern Age. Why I mention it here is for two reasons. First. Its anonymity.
No one knows anything informative about it. Secondly, its name: Teotihuacan.
This is said to translate as 'City of the Gods.' It is the name given to the city not
by its inhabitants, but to it by the local people who gradually moved into the area
after its unexplained demise. I suggest it may be further evidence that ties in with
my The Immortals (chapter 6) regarding the description by an ancient writer of the
removal of certain Immortals from the European area of activity, due to
overcrowding, to the Americas, north and south. I suggest it may be that this was
the final collection site for the thousands of proliferated Immortals who apparently
left this planet, and just possibly did so from the traffic-laden site of the plains of
Nazca.

This is said to translate as 'City of the Gods.' It is the name given to the city not
by its inhabitants, but to it by the local people who gradually moved into the area
after its unexplained demise. I suggest it may be further evidence that ties in with
my The Immortals (chapter 6) regarding the description by an ancient writer of the
removal of certain Immortals from the European area of activity, due to
overcrowding, to the Americas, north and south. I suggest it may be that this was
the final collection site for the thousands of proliferated Immortals who apparently
left this planet, and just possibly did so from the traffic-laden site of the plains of
Nazca.
