The enigma of the Pusharo petroglyphs, the most important in the Amazon
My trip to the Pusharo petroglyphs took place in 2008. The main objective was to closely analyze one of the most important petroglyphs in the world, both for complexity and grandeur, and thus deepen the study of Amazonian ethnic groups that traveled through the area in times dating back to the Mesolithic, when the climate in the Amazon was different from today. The trip began in the small town of Atalaya, on the banks of the Alto Madre de Dios River, from where, in the company of my friend Fernando Rivera Huanca, I embarked on a motor boat bound for Lactapampa (department of Madre de Dios). The next day we went up the Palotoa and slept in...

The mysterious Jinkiori monolith, heritage of the Huachipaeri culture
To know the prehistory of the Amazon, it is necessary to archaeologically study any ancient traces of human remains or artifacts in the immense area of ​​the great river basin. The petroglyphs and cave paintings are key elements to understand the complex cosmogony and ritual symbolism of the people who lived in the area. Sometimes, as in the case of the petroglyphs of Quiaca (department of Puno), they are symbols used to indicate the path or route used to reach a different place in the jungle. Other times, they are surprising rock libraries, which indicate the spiritual conception, anthropomorphic and zoomorphic symbols, as in the case of...

The civilization of the Incas
When you reach Machu Picchu (from the Quechua old peak), you can see that the Inca civilization reached a high degree of development, unequal to that of the West, but parallel. Until recently, it was thought that Machu Picchu had been discovered by the American archaeologist Hiram Bingham in 1911. In 2008, however, news was made public that the Inca citadel was actually discovered, and unfortunately looted, by an German adventurer, Augusto Berns, in 1867. Some documents, whose authenticity was verified, testify that Berns established a company to exploit the archaeological site, with the consent of Andrés Avelino Caceres, the president of...

The magnificence of Tikal, ancient Mayans capital, and the cult of Kukulcán
Flying at low altitude over the tropical rainforest of the Yucatan Peninsula, it is not unusual to see in the distance some archaic pyramids rising above the dense layer of vegetation. The most majestic of the ancient cities of the Mayans is Tikal , located between the north of Yucatán and the Pacific, and between the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea. One wonders how it was possible for the emergence and flourishing of such an extensive and complex city right in the heart of the tropical jungle, where rainfall is constant (3000 mm per year), in an area infested with poisonous snakes and mosquitoes carrying malaria. However, the Tikal ...

Symbolism of serpent in the Canaanites cult and in the Genesis of Hebrews
The most important historical source to know the history of the Jews is the Bible. According to current knowledge, the Bible is a set of texts, compiled from the 13 th century BC. The history of the Jews traditionally dates back to Abraham, who lived in Ur, in Mesopotamia, around the 19 th century BC. According to the Bible, Abraham received from God the order to go to Palestine. Abraham's successors were Isaac and Jacob, considered the father of the Hebrew people since, in effect, his twelve sons led the famous twelve tribes of Israel. Around the 18 th century BC, the Hebrews emigrated to Egypt after a severe famine. After several ce...

René Guénon's vision of the fantastic lost kingdom of Agarttha
According to some esoteric authors such as Saint-Yves d'Alveydre (Mission de l'Inde, 1910) and Ferdinand Ossendowski (Bêtes, Hommes et Dieux, 1921), there would be an underground kingdom, located specifically in the interior of Central Asia, inhabited by human beings that have not been well identified or perhaps by a lineage parallel to us humans, who would be the treasurer of the original knowledge of the world. This kingdom, called Agarttha (the inviolable one), would have the city of Shamballa as its capital and Brahmatma (or king of the world) as its king, assisted by two viceroys: Mahatma and Mahanga. The Agarttha tradition d...

The influence of Darwinism and theosophy in Western society: new age philosophy
On November 24, 1859, Charles Darwin's book ' On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection ', or the Preservation of Favored Races in the Struggle for Life , was published in London. The theory presented in the book was based on the concept that different animal species evolve over time through the process of natural selection. From this theory, the philosophy known as social Darwinism was developed in subsequent years. On November 17, 1875, the Theosophical Society was founded in New York. The main founding partners were Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, Herny Steel Olcott and William Quan Judge. Apparently, these two even...

The mystery of the Amazons, the warrior women
In 1542 a group of men led by the Spanish captain Francisco de Orellana were exploring a large river whose name they did not know. They had had incredible adventures that I have recounted in my book “1542 The First Navigators of the Amazon River ”. When they arrived in a mysterious place, after some confrontations with indigenous people, they realized that there were warrior women, who were later named Amazons, following some Greek myths. Here is the chapter of my book where I describe the contact of the Spanish with women warriors. These channels led away from the main arm. They were overflowing with logs, vines and floating vegetation, ...

Codex Gigas: the devil's bible or the largest manuscript in the world?

Otherwise known as 'The Devil's Bible', the Codex Gigas is probably the largest and strangest manuscript in the world. It measures approximately 1 meter long and is so large that it took more than 160 skins and requires at least the effort of two people to lift it. According to legend, the medieval manuscript is the fruit of a pact with the 'devil', which is why it is sometimes referred to as the Devil's Bible.

Codex Gigas: the devil's bible or the largest manuscript in the world?
The origin of the Codex Gigas is unknown. A note written in the margin of the manuscript attests that it was committed to the Sedlec monastery by its owners, the monks of Podlažice, in 1295. Shortly afterwards he passed to the Břevnov monastery, near Prague. All these monasteries were in Bohemia, now the Czech Republic, and it is certain that the Codex Gigas was created somewhere in this region, but not necessarily in Podlažice, a small and unimportant monastery. In 1594, Rudolph II brought the Codex Gigas to his castle in Prague, where it remained until the outbreak of the Thirty Years' War, stolen together with many other treasures ...

The Ark of the Covenant
The holy grail and the ark of the covenant are supposed to be the most elusive relics in history. According to tradition, the ark contains the ten commandments, the ones that God himself carved into stone and gave to Moses. It's said that the ark was then brought to Jerusalem and kept in King Solomon's temple. That temple got destroyed and nobody knows where the ark went. Assuming it even existed in the first place, where could it be? We all have in mind the super famous movie, " Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark ", where Harrison Ford plays the amazing character created by Steven Spielberg and George Lucas. The whole ...
