Drawing by Blas Valera open new horizons about the true location of Paititi
According to traditional historiography, Blas Valera was born in Chachapoyas, Peru, in 1546 and died in Malaga, Spain, in 1596. He was the son of a Spaniard, Luis Valera, and an indigenous woman, and demonstrated from an early age a strong predilection for History. At the age of 22 he joined the Society of Jesus. After five years of theological studies he was ordained a priest in the diocese of Lima, in 1573. Initially he was sent to Huarochirí, in Quito, where the Society of Jesus had the mission of eradicating idolatries, or pagan beliefs. Blas Valera showed firmness and his knowledge of Quechua was essential. After these excellent resu...

The Mystery of the Marie Byrd Land
Antarctica, the southernmost continent in the world, with an area of ​​approximately 14 million square kilometers, does not officially belong to any country. Although the existence of this continental mass had been assumed since ancient times, Antarctica was sighted for the first time only on January 27, 1820 by the Imperial Russian Navy officer Fabian Gottlieb von Bellingshausen. The first man to set foot there was the Anglo-American John Davis, on February 7, 1821. During the 19 th century there were some other expeditions on the Antarctic coasts, such as the one guided by Captain James Clark Ross (1839-1843), who mapped a good part of ...

The hidden power in the Brazilian Amazon
When you travel to the Brazilian Amazon you realize the immensity of this territory. The so-called legal Amazon has an approximate area of ​​5.2 million square kilometers, which corresponds to 74% of the entire Amazon and 61% of Brazil, and is inhabited by about 22 million people, which is a very low population density. However, a large part of its inhabitants is concentrated in the cities of Manaus, Belém and Porto Velho. Only 200,000 indigenous people live in the entire Brazilian Amazon, but the lands assigned to them, where no one can enter without the authorization of FUNAI (Fundación Nacional do Índio) correspond to 21% of this enorm...

Value ​of π and precession of equinoxes in the pyramids of Teotihuacán and Giza
The Teotihuacán archaeological complex is located approximately 40 kilometers northeast of Mexico City. “Academic” archaeologists maintain that the entire city and the pyramids of the Sun and the Moon were built starting in the Christian era. The Pyramid of the Sun, although it is not the largest ancient construction in the New World (it is the pyramid of Cholula, with 3.3 million cubic meters of volume) and neither is it the tallest (it is the pyramid of La Danta, 72 meters), is certainly the most mysterious. One of the most intriguing features of the Pyramid of the Sun is the fact that, dividing the side of its base (which is square) by...

Was Khambat the oldest civilization in the world?
According to official archaeology, the oldest civilization in the world was that of the Sumerians, who prospered in modern-day Iraq 5,000 years ago. The majority of archaeologists and researchers believe that the preceding Neolithic cultures did not reach a level of evolution by which they can be called "civilization", that is, an organized, hierarchical society, based on agriculture, where there is a system that enforces respect the rules and where some groups of people dedicate themselves to the arts, be they plastic, pictorial or related to ceramics. However, certain researchers around the world maintain that there were several antedil...

Migrations and human demography from the origins to the 21st century
The history of man on planet Earth began about 6 million years ago, when a series of changes in genetic heritage allowed a restricted group of primates present in Africa to adopt a bipedal posture, successfully use their hands and develop a larger voluminous brain, capable of solving different survival problems. From that very remote period, various forms of hominids developed. Some remained in Africa, while others traveled across the planet in search of better living conditions. All of these hominids disappeared over time, except for one species, Homo Sapiens, to which we belong. The first human species to leave Africa was Homo Erectus, ...

Marcahuasi's secret
Marcahuasi is a mythical place: for some, it is the magnetic and gravitational center of the planet, where a prodigious civilization lived 85 centuries ago; For others, it is just a spectacular plateau at about 4000 meters high, where the remains of a pre-Inca culture are located and where atmospheric agents shaped many rocks into the shape of human faces and animal bodies. My trip to Marcahuasi began in Lima, from where I took a bus to get to Chosica, a city located an hour away from the capital of Peru. The Peruvian researcher Paul Mazzei accompanied me. From Chosica you take a direct bus to San Pedro de Casta, a small town located at a...

The esoteric chronology of Daniel Ruzo, the great scholar of Marcahuasi
The Peruvian esoteric researcher Daniel Ruzo (1900-1991) spent much of his life studying some very particular places on the planet, such as Marcahuasi (Peru) and Tepoztlán (Mexico). The Marcahuasi plateau is a legendary place: located at more than 4,000 meters above sea level in the Lima region, it has an approximate area of ​​4 square kilometers. In the center of the plateau are the remains of a pre-Inca citadel whose vestiges date back to the 8 th century AD. In addition, scattered on the plateau (or perhaps correctly located), there are many megalithic, anthropomorphic, zoomorphic and mythological sculptures, as well as some petroglyph...

The origin of the American man: the enigma of Pedra Furada
The scientific theory initially accepted to explain the arrival of man in America is based on the idea that groups of Homo Sapiens entered the New World through the lands of Beringia, in a period between 14 and 10 thousand years ago. What is now the Bering Strait, between Asia and North America, was once a snowy plain, precisely because sea levels were lower than they are today, due to ongoing glaciation. Those groups of Sapiens, perhaps chasing herds of animals or searching for new lands, crossed Beringia and thus entered the New World. Some of them passed through the so-called “ice-free corridor”, others marched along the coast of North...
