The Lost Realms

1. The Conquistadores' Gold Obsession Unveiled an Ancient Enigma

In the annals of Europe the discovery of the New World bears the imprint of El Dorado—the relentless search for gold.

Avarice and bewilderment. The Spanish conquistadores, driven by the legend of El Dorado and an insatiable lust for gold, stumbled upon advanced civilizations in the New World that mirrored those of the Old. They found kingdoms, cities, temples, priests, and even the symbol of the cross, alongside legends of white, bearded gods who promised to return. This unexpected sophistication, coupled with the vast quantities of gold, baffled them.

Divine metal, earthly plunder. For the Aztecs and Incas, gold was not currency but a divine metal, "the gods' excretion," used to adorn temples and rulers. The Spaniards, however, saw only monetary value, melting down priceless artifacts into ingots. This clash of values fueled a relentless search for the ultimate source of gold, which natives attributed to their gods and ancient predecessors like the Toltecs.

Unanswered questions. The immense gold hoards found in Mexico and Peru far exceeded what could be obtained through simple placer mining (collecting nuggets from riverbeds). This led to persistent questions:

• Where did such vast quantities of gold originate?
• Who taught the advanced goldsmithing techniques?
• Why did natives amass gold if they had no practical use for it?
  The answer, consistently given by the natives, pointed to "the gods."

2. Mesoamerican Civilizations Echo Ancient Near Eastern Origins

The mysteries and enigmas of the Maya, the Aztecs, the Incas, and their predecessors that puzzled the conquistadores still baffle scholar and layman alike five centuries later.

Striking parallels. Despite geographical isolation, Mesoamerican civilizations exhibited uncanny similarities to those of the ancient Near East. Aztec society, with its royal courts, sacred precincts, and hierarchical priesthood, mirrored European structures. Their pictographic writing, though primitive by 1500 A.D., resembled early Egyptian hieroglyphs from 4,500 years prior.

Shared creation myths. Nahuatl legends of creation, including a global deluge and the fashioning of mankind from the blood of a god, directly parallel Sumerian accounts—a version not even found in the Bible. This suggests a common, ancient source for these foundational narratives.

• Olden God: Resembles Sumerian Anu, Lord of Heaven.
• Four divine brothers: Represent cardinal points and elements, a concept known in the Old World.
• Man from blood of a god: Mirrors a specific Sumerian text where Ea and Ninti create humans from divine blood and clay.

Ancient timelines. Aztec tales divided history into "Suns" or ages, with the First Sun ending in a deluge around 11,600 B.C., aligning with geological evidence for the last Ice Age's abrupt end. The Fourth Sun, the "Age of the Black Headed People," began around 3500 B.C., precisely when Sumerian civilization (whose people called themselves "black-headed") emerged. These precise correlations challenge conventional views of isolated development.

3. The Olmecs: African Pioneers and Master Miners of the New World

Of all the lost civilizations of Mesoamarica, that of the Olmecs is the oldest and the most mystifying.

Mother civilization. The Olmecs, emerging suddenly around 1500-1200 B.C. along Mexico's Gulf Coast, were the "Mother Civilization" of Mesoamerica. They introduced:

• Glyphic writing and numeration systems.
• The Long Count calendar (starting 3113 B.C.).
• Monumental sculpted art and ceremonial centers.
• The first use of jade and advanced stoneworking.
  Their abrupt appearance, without a gradual developmental phase, mirrors the sudden rise of Sumerian civilization.

Negroid features and colossal heads. The most baffling Olmec artifacts are colossal stone heads, weighing up to 25 tons, depicting individuals with undeniable negroid African features. These "Ethiopian" portraits, found at sites like La Venta and San Lorenzo, suggest a population of black Africans, not just a few shipwrecked individuals.

Mining and advanced technology. Olmec sites reveal extensive earthworks, water channeling systems, and sophisticated tools.

• La Venta: An artificially shaped island with a precisely oriented ceremonial center, mica from Brazil, and concave mirrors of iron ore.
• Tepeyolloti: An Olmec god, "Heart of the Mountain," depicted with a flamethrower-like tool for cutting stone.
• Encounter scenes: Depict Olmecs meeting bearded Mediterranean individuals, often in caverns, suggesting joint mining operations.
  The evidence points to the Olmecs as skilled miners, extracting precious metals and minerals, a purpose consistent with their advanced capabilities and the region's resources.

4. Andean Megaliths: Impossible Constructions by Gods and Giants

Many of the stones," Garcilaso wrote, "were brought from ten to fifteen leagues, and especially the stone or rather the rock called Saycusa or the Tired Stone, because it never reached the structure, and which, it is known, was brought a distance of fifteen leagues from beyond the river of Yucay...

Cyclopean marvels. The ancient Andean cities of Cuzco, Sacsahuaman, and Machu Picchu feature colossal megalithic stone constructions that defy conventional explanation. Massive polygonal blocks, some weighing over 300 tons, are perfectly cut, shaped, and fitted without mortar, creating earthquake-resistant walls.

• Sacsahuaman: Three zigzagging walls, 60 feet high, built with boulders up to 27 feet tall.
• Cuzco: Walls with stones having up to twelve perfectly interlocking angles.
• Machu Picchu: Temple of the Three Windows, built with cyclopean blocks, and the Torreon, a semicircular structure of perfectly matched ashlars.

Beyond human capability. Spanish chroniclers, like Garcilaso de la Vega, concluded these structures were "erected by magic, by demons and not by men," as the Incas lacked iron tools, carts, or cranes to quarry, transport, and precisely place such stones. An Inca attempt to move a single megalith resulted in thousands of deaths and failure, proving they were not the original builders.

Divine origins. Andean legends attribute these feats to "giants of old" or the gods themselves, particularly Viracocha, who gave Manco Capac a "golden wand" to found Cuzco. The presence of T-shaped cuts for metal clamps at Ollantaytambu, similar to those at Baalbek, further suggests advanced, non-Inca technology and a connection to Old World "landing places" for airborne craft.

5. Archaeoastronomy Reveals a Celestial Blueprint and Ancient Timeline

The heavens bespeak the glory of the Lord and the vault of heaven reveals his handiwork.

Beyond agriculture. Ancient man's profound astronomical endeavors, from Sumerian ziggurats to Maya observatories, were not merely for agricultural calendars but for religious purposes—to venerate gods who came from the heavens. The Sumerians, taught by the Anunnaki, divided the heavens into twelve houses of the zodiac and understood Earth's precession and obliquity.

Andean celestial knowledge. The Incas, too, possessed sophisticated astronomical knowledge:

• Cuzco's 12 wards: Aligned with zodiacal houses, with the first ward representing Aries, indicating a calendar beginning around 2000 B.C.
• Machu Picchu's Intihuatana and Torreon: Precisely aligned for solstices and equinoxes.
• Calendar reforms: Montesinos recorded reforms in the Ancient Empire, mirroring precessional shifts in the Near East (e.g., from Taurus to Aries around 2000 B.C.).

The Coricancha's cosmic map. The "Bible in Pictures" on the Coricancha's main altar depicted the entire Solar System, including the Sun, Moon, and ten planets (five outer, four inner, and Nibiru, the twelfth member). This Sumerian cosmology, along with the depiction of Earth as the seventh planet and zodiacal constellations, was astonishingly present in the Andes, confirming a direct link to Old World knowledge.

6. Tiahuanacu: The "Tin City" and South America's Metallurgical Hub

Nowhere else in the world, perhaps, can a panorama so diversified and grand be obtained from a single point of view.

A city defying logic. Tiahuanacu, situated at a desolate 13,000 feet on Lake Titicaca's shores, was the greatest and oldest city in the Americas. Its colossal stone edifices, intricate carvings, and monumental statues, built with stones quarried miles away, baffled early explorers. Its name, TI.ANAKU, translates to "Tin City," a crucial clue to its purpose.

Advanced metallurgy. Puma-Punku, a section of Tiahuanacu, features colossal one-piece gateways and stone blocks with precise indentations for bronze clamps—a technology unknown to the Incas. The discovery of actual bronze clamps and the need for tin (a scarce metal requiring complex smelting) points to advanced metallurgical operations.

• Bronze production: Required copper and tin, with tin being recovered from cassiterite ore.
• "Small green pebbles": Found in abundance, indicating oxidized copper, suggesting ore processing.
• Waterworks: The Akapana pyramid and subterranean channels were designed for controlled water flow, likely for washing ores.

Ancient observatory. The Kalasasaya, Tiahuanacu's central structure, was a sophisticated astronomical observatory. Its precise alignments for equinoxes and solstices, based on an Earth obliquity of 24° 6', date its construction to around 4000 B.C. or 3172 B.C., making it contemporary with Sumerian civilization and predating the Inca by millennia.

7. The Global Gold Rush: Anunnaki's Motive for New World Operations

For all these reasons, and perhaps because the gods—the Anunnaki—had to teach ancient man how to recover the tin from its ore through smelting, the metal was considered by the Sumerians to be a "divine" metal.

Nibiru's gold crisis. The Anunnaki, visitors from the planet Nibiru, came to Earth 440,000 years ago to obtain gold, essential for repairing their planet's thinning atmosphere. Initial mining in Africa led to a mutiny, prompting the creation of "Primitive Workers" (Mankind) through genetic manipulation.

Post-Deluge imperative. After the global deluge (circa 11,000 B.C.), the Anunnaki needed to resume gold production. While old mines were clogged, new sources of placer gold were exposed in the New World's Andean ranges. This necessitated expanding operations globally and providing Mankind with advanced tools and knowledge.

A state visit and new realms. Anu, the ruler of Nibiru, visited Earth around 3800 B.C. to assess progress. Just as a new city, Uruk, was built in Sumer for his visit, Tiahuanacu was established in the Andes as a parallel "golden enclosure" and metallurgical center.

• Puma-Punku: Featured gold-plated walls and gates, with turquoise inlays (a mineral not found in South America).
• "God of the Golden Tears": Statues at Tiahuanacu depicted deities shedding three gold tears, reflecting the native belief that gold was "tears of the gods."
  This suggests a deliberate, organized effort by the Anunnaki to establish a global network for mineral extraction, with Tiahuanacu as a key hub for tin and gold.

8. Thoth/Quetzalcoatl: The Serpent God's Migration to Mesoamerica

Frustrated in his effort to assume supremacy in civilized Sumer, Marduk/Ra seized upon the granting of civilization to the Egyptians to return to that land and reclaim its lordship from his brother Thoth.

Divine conflict and new beginnings. The Sumerian pantheon, led by the Anunnaki, experienced internal conflicts. Around 3450 B.C., Marduk (Enki's son) attempted to usurp power in Mesopotamia, leading to the dispersion of Mankind and confusion of languages. Thoth (Ningishzidda in Sumerian, Enki's son), the god of science, writing, and mathematics, was displaced from Egypt by his brother Marduk/Ra around 3100 B.C.

Quetzalcoatl's arrival. It is proposed that Thoth, accompanied by his loyal followers, migrated to the New World, specifically Mesoamerica. His arrival is linked to the start of the Mesoamerican Long Count calendar on August 13, 3113 B.C.

• Feathered Serpent: Thoth's Egyptian symbol was the Winged Serpent, directly paralleling Quetzalcoatl's "Feathered Serpent" epithet.
• Calendar and knowledge: Quetzalcoatl is credited with introducing the calendar, writing, and advanced knowledge to Mesoamerican peoples, consistent with Thoth's attributes.

African connections. The Olmecs, with their negroid features, are suggested to be Thoth's African followers, who helped establish the new civilization. Evidence of serpent symbols and negroid features at Tiahuanacu also suggests Thoth's influence in the Andean realm, particularly in developing metal-processing sites. This migration explains the sudden appearance of advanced civilization in Mesoamerica and its deep connections to Old World deities and knowledge.

9. The Day the Sun Stood Still: A Global Cataclysm Confirmed

This could not have been an eclipse: it was not that the shining sun was obscured by a shadow. Besides, no eclipse lasts so long, and the Peruvians were cognizant of such periodic events.

A shared memory. Ancient Andean legends, recorded by Montesinos, speak of a terrifying event during the reign of the fifteenth monarch of the Ancient Empire: "there was no dawn for twenty hours." This was not an eclipse, but a prolonged night, as if the sun had stood still.

Biblical corroboration. This extraordinary event finds an incredible parallel in the biblical Book of Joshua. During a battle in Canaan, Joshua commanded the sun to stand still, and "the Sun stood still in the midst of the skies and it hastened not to go down about a whole day." This describes a day lasting approximately twenty hours longer than usual.

• Opposite phenomena: The Andean "night without sunrise" and the Canaanite "day without sunset" describe the same global event from opposite sides of the Earth.
• Timing: Montesinos's chronology places the Andean event around 1400 B.C., which aligns with the author's calculated date for Joshua's long day (circa 1393 B.C.).

Disruption of Earth's rotation. The event, likely caused by a comet's close approach and disintegration, temporarily disrupted Earth's rotation. This shared, verifiable memory across continents provides irrefutable proof of the veracity of ancient chronologies and the existence of an advanced Ancient Empire in the Andes, validating the narratives of gods and their interventions.
