Ancient Mysteries of History
Well I have been thinking about things, and I have been watching a lot of mystery T.V. Shows, that have to do with mysteries. Some of these are quite ancient, like the mystery of El Dorado, and some are relatively new, like the Georgia Guidestones. I am going to be posting some mysteries here and I am going to be putting up facts about them, of what we already know. Let's just get started then.
Paititi
The Secret Inca City that was Never Found
Paititi is the name of a legendary hidden Inca city in the southeastern part of Peru.
It is believed that the Incas have hidden their treasures in this secret city in order to keep them safe from the Spaniards. Legends do exist and many people did take this seriously!
Is Paititi another real city hiding somewhere in the jungle?
Another legendary city like the Greek Troy, which was thought to be a story only, until it was discovered by German archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann?
Let's take a look at what we know about it!
Myths, Documents and Possible Locations of Paititi
In Quechuan language the word Paititi means "Home of the Jaguar Father".
The descendants of the Incas, the Quechuans tell stories about Incas fleeing from the conquistadores and hiding tremendous amounts of gold, silver and previous stones in the legendary city.
The most often talked-about possible location is in the southeastern parts of Peru, in the jungle areas. Some have speculated that it might actually be across the border in Brazil or in northwestern Bolivia.
The descendants of the Incas, the Quechuans tell stories about Incas fleeing from the conquistadores and hiding tremendous amounts of gold, silver and previous stones in the legendary city.
It is said to have been a thriving big city located behind mountains, in a place with waterfalls.
In 1533, the last Inca fighters had retreated into the Vilcabamba area - where they had laid down the foundations of 2 new cities: Vilcabamba. and Vitcos. The Spanish - Inca war lasted almost 40 years, but after that, the Spaniards finally managed to conquer the Vilcabamba Valley in 1572.
Vilcabamba was the last Inca capital and it was abandoned by the Incas when the Spaniards were approaching it. It is believed that the inhabitants, including the high class Incas have taken refuge in the eastern rainforests. Some of them probably fled to the Amazonian flat area in what is today's eastern Peru or western Brazil.
Túpac Amaru was the last Inca leader. He was captured and killed by the Spaniards.
After the Pizarro-led Spanish occupation, the stories about the city have multiplied.
Many have been looking for the hidden city, but for hundreds of years nothing was found.
In the 20th century even more treasure hunters ventured into the Andes and have even crossed them in order to find the city. Some claimed victorious discoveries, but were not officially credited with it.
In 2001, Italian archaeologist Mario Polia has come across a Jesuit document in Rome, written in 1600 by missionary Andrea Lopez, describing a large city, rich in gold, silver and gemstones. The document tells that the inhabitants of this city called it "Paititi" and it was located in a rainforest.
Andrea Lopez describes the area around Paititi as one covered with deep rainforests with waterfalls.
The document was presented in details to Pope Clement XIII.
The Vatican might keep the location of the city secret, even today.
The Paititi legend tells us about a hero called Inkarrí or Incarrí who had taken refuge in the city of Paititi. Inkarri is considered the founder of Q'ero and Cuzco.
This story about this person tells us that Paititi is in the Pantiacolla jungles.
Expeditions are being carried out from time to time, even today.
The most likely areas for it are considered: the Vilcabamba, the northwestern parts of Bolivia (rainforest-covered area), the western parts of Brazil and the southeastern part of Peru - east of the Urubamba (Vilcanota) River.
Expeditions, Explorations and Treasure Hunters...
Many adventurers and explorers have wondered deep into the Andean rainforests and beyond to discover Paititi. So far, officially it wasn't discovered, although, some smaller groups of people have claimed to have actually found it. There is no proof whatsoever that the not long ago found small ruins could have been part of Paititi.
If the city exists, then it must be a large city.
There is theoretically the possibility that Paititi was discovered. Anyone who would come across such a place would have all the reasons to keep it secret.
Sites were discovered under dense vegetation in this part of Peru: Llactapata, Machu Picchu, Corihuayrachina, Choquequirao - the "Sacred Sister of Machu Picchu", Vilcabamba, Vitcos, Cota Coca.
Machu Picchu is the best example, but Corihuayrachina and Choquequirao have both impressed when they were discovered.
Dense vegetation may hide large cities in this part of South America...
Among some of the most famous searchers for the lost city of Paititi are: Carlos Neuenschwander Landa (Peruvian medical doctor/explorer), Juan Carlos Polentini Wester (Argentinean Salesman priest/explorer), Gregory Deyermenjian (USA - psychologist/explorer), Paulino Mamani (Peruvian frontiersman/cartographer/explorer).
Real Legends, Modern Fiction and False Myths
How much of what we hear and read about Paititi should be taken seriously?
The Paititi legend has many variants. Throughout the centuries newer stories were created, original information was distorted.
Legends are often inflated and TV documentaries do not present the real story. We know, that for attracting viewers, the real stories are distorted, extended and even mixed with other exciting stories in order to deliver a fun show on television.
Indiana Jones-type stories are adored by the viewers and they have even become "standards" to which each archaeological subject is adapted.
The "beautification" or archaeological facts and traditional myths distorts everything.
We get to hear stories that we like, rather than what is real.
Paititi is plausible not only because of the myths about it, but also because:
The Spaniards have omitted lots of areas, including Machu Picchu: reason why there is the possibility for other such hidden cities to exist somewhere
During Atahualpa's captivity, the Incas brought large amounts of gold to Pizarro in order for him to let him go: nobody ever found out where they brought the large amounts of gold from
There were many gold, silver and precious stone mines in the Andes
The Spaniards believed that by occupying Cuzco they will be able to control the whole Inca Empire: these were typical European tactics, but they didn't work in the Inca lands - they had to fight multiple local wars for decades and during this period the Incas must have hidden their valuables
The conquistadores were well-known for their brutality and greed: the Incas had all reasons to hide their gold
Much of what was once the Inca Empire is still undiscovered even until today
Possible Similarity with Troy
There are less documents about Paititi than about Troy, which is very well described in ancient Greek documents.
The legend of the Greek city of Troy was considered pure fiction, a tale...
German archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann had heard of Troy from his grandfather's stories. He later became an archaeologist and started looking for it in what is today's Turkey.
Schliemann was 47 years old and everyone thought he "went bananas" when he announced that he wanted to find Troy. Everyone laughed him out...
But he found it!
Schliemann took large amounts of treasures with him to Germany: golden jewelry, precious stones etc.
There, he built himself a large house and decorated it beautifully. Nobody ever caught him. The rest of his life he lived happily without any problems.
The Troy legend is a very old one. The city had thrived until 3.300 years ago, when it was destroyed by a massive earthquake.
Paititi could be 500 years old. Not older... It is a newer story, but there aren't many documents about it. There are almost no written clues about where it could be. The location descriptions are vague...
Troy was in an accessible place in the Mediterranean area.
Paititi is situated in a wilderness area, well concealed and there are very few possibilities for getting there.
The Difference Between Paititi and the El Dorado Legend
The myth about the El Dorado are often mixed with the one about Paititi.
The two stories are different from each other, but perhaps you might have heard of mixed stories.
Therefore we have created this little section to clear things out: Paititi has nothing to do with the El Dorado.
The El Dorado legend is not an Inca legend, but a Muisca Indian legend.
Rumours about the El Dorado refer to a "Land of Gold", but originate from the story of the El Dorado - from the Muiscas. The original Muisca legend is about a Golden Man, who is the El Dorado (not the territory).
The Golden Man is said to have had golden skin. He had walked into a lake in today's Colombia and had vanished. Together with enormous quantities of gold.
Paititi refers to the lost city, as presented higher in this article.
Paititi is a rumour, a legend yet to be proven.
Both stories are Amerindian stories and both talk about treasures and many have went out to find them without any positive results.
The Georgia Guidestones
On one of the highest hilltops in Elbert County, Georgia stands a huge granite monument. Engraved in eight different languages on the four giant stones that support the common capstone are 10 Guides, or commandments. That monument is alternately referred to as The Georgia Guidestones, or the American Stonehenge. Though relatively unknown to most people, it is an important link to the Occult Hierarchy that dominates the world in which we live.
The origin of that strange monument is shrouded in mystery because no one knows the true identity of the man, or men, who commissioned its construction. All that is known for certain is that in June 1979, a well-dressed, articulate stranger visited the office of the Elberton Granite Finishing Company and announced that he wanted to build an edifice to transmit a message to mankind. He identified himself as R. C. Christian, but it soon became apparent that was not his real name. He said that he represented a group of men who wanted to offer direction to humanity, but to date, almost two decades later, no one knows who R. C. Christian really was, or the names of those he represented. Several things are apparent. The messages engraved on the Georgia Guidestones deal with four major fields: (1) Governance and the establishment of a world government, (2) Population and reproduction control, (3) The environment and man's relationship to nature, and (4) Spirituality.
In the public library in Elberton, I found a book written by the man who called himself R.C. Christian. I discovered that the monument he commissioned had been erected in recognition of Thomas Paine and the occult philosophy he espoused. Indeed, the Georgia Guidestones are used for occult ceremonies and mystic celebrations to this very day. Tragically, only one religious leader in the area had the courage to speak out against the American Stonehenge, and he has recently relocated his ministry.
THE MESSAGE OF THE GEORGIA GUIDESTONES
1. Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature.
2. Guide reproduction wisely - improving fitness and diversity.
3. Unite humanity with a living new language.
4. Rule passion - faith - tradition - and all things with tempered reason.
5. Protect people and nations with fair laws and just courts.
6. Let all nations rule internally resolving external disputes in a world court.
7. Avoid petty laws and useless officials.
8. Balance personal rights with social duties.
9. Prize truth - beauty - love - seeking harmony with the infinite.
10.Be not a cancer on the earth - Leave room for nature - Leave room for nature.
Limiting the population of the earth to 500 million will require the extermination of nine-tenths of the world's people. The American Stonehenge's reference to establishing a world court foreshadows the current move to create an International Criminal Court and a world government. The Guidestones' emphasis on preserving nature anticipates the environmental movement of the 1990s, and the reference to "seeking harmony with the infinite" reflects the current effort to replace Judeo-Christian beliefs with a new spirituality.
The message of the American Stonehenge also foreshadowed the current drive for Sustainable Development. Any time you hear the phrase "Sustainable Development" used, you should substitute the term "socialism" to be able to understand what is intended. Later in this syllabus you will read the full text of the Earth Charter which was compiled under the direction of Mikhail Gorbachev and Maurice Strong. In that document you will find an emphasis on the same basic issues: control of reproduction, world governance, the importance of nature and the environment, and a new spirituality. The similarity between the ideas engraved on the Georgia Guidestones and those espoused in the Earth Charter reflect the common origins of both.
Yoko Ono, the widow of John Lennon, was recently quoted as referring to the American Stonehenge, saying:
"I want people to know about the stones ... We're headed toward a world where we might blow ourselves up and maybe the globe will not exist ... it's a nice time to reaffirm ourselves, knowing all the beautiful things that are in this country and the Georgia Stones symbolize that. " (1)
What is the true significance of the American Stonehenge, and why is its covert message important? Because it confirms the fact that there was a covert group intent on
(1) Dramatically reducing the population of the world.
(2) Promoting environmentalism.
(3) Establishing a world government.
(4) Promoting a new spirituality.
Certainly the group that commissioned the Georgia Guidestones is one of many similar groups working together toward a New World Order, a new world economic system, and a new world spirituality. Behind those groups, however, are dark spiritual forces. Without understanding the nature of those dark forces it is impossible to understand the unfolding of world events.
The fact that most Americans have never heard of the Georgia Guidestones or their message to humanity reflects the degree of control that exists today over what the American people think. We ignore that message at our peril.
The hole that you see in the stone was drilled in the Center Stone so that the North Star could be visualized through it at any moment. This was one of several requirements stipulated by R.C.Christian for the building of the American Stonehenge and reflects his obsession with the alignment of the stars, the sun, and the moon. Occultists often worship the alignment and movement of heavenly bodies as part of their religious ceremonies
The White Houses Cornerstone
I pray Heaven to bestow the best of Blessings on this House and all that shall hereafter inhabit it. May none but honest and wise men ever rule under this roof.
President John Adams
The cornerstone of what became the White House was laid this week (Oct. 13) in 1792 in the fledgling city of Washington, D.C., and that cornerstone was to become legendary.
But first a bit of the history. George Washington himself chose the White House's location — now at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue — while the actual building was designed by an Irish immigrant architect named James Hoban, whose design Congress chose over several other proposals, including one by America's most famous home-grown architect, Thomas Jefferson.
The White House originally was constructed of white-gray sandstone, which was such a contrast to the predominantly red brick buildings around it that it was called the White House as early as 1808, belying the popular belief that it became the White House only after being torched by the British in the War of 1812 and subsequently repainted white.
John and Abigail Adams were the first official residents of the White House, moving in on Nov. 1, 1800. Over the years, the building was destroyed and rebuilt, remodeled and enlarged — the West Wing was added during Teddy Roosevelt s presidency — and during President Harry Truman's administration, it was gutted and restored so that the structure could be reinforced.
Which brings us back to the cornerstone, a polished brass plate that was laid by a party of Freemasons (Washington was a Mason) who, so the story goes, were so pleased with their work that they immediately retired to a nearby tavern to toast the building, the country, George Washington, one another, liberty, justice and anything else they could think of — the upshot of which was they could not later recall exactly where the cornerstone had been laid. The further upshot of which is — today we do not know the cornerstone's location.
Over the years, attempts were made to identify its location, including during the Truman remodeling when the walls were scanned with a mine detector.
Although traditionally Freemasons laid the cornerstone in a building's northeast corner, the loudest responding buzz to the mine detector came from the southwest corner of the original structure, confirming the only written account ever found describing the cornerstone s location. When it was suggested that excavation be done in that area to confirm and retrieve the cornerstone plate, Truman vetoed the idea.
Thus the cornerstone's location remains the oldest secret of the many that are now a part of White House lore. Given the number of secrets its (mostly) honest and wise residents have kept over the years, that seems fitting.
