Treasure of the Inca: Sacsayhuaman and the Ancient Tunnels of South America

Several weeks ago, I was at the Denver International Airport waiting for my girlfriend to arrive on her flight from St. Louis to Denver, and the strangely familiar word “Sacsayhuaman” was buzzing around in my head, incessantly refusing to leave. In my recent memory, a similar phenomena had occurred to me once before. About a year ago, I had the words “Minas Geiras” seemingly stuck in my mind, begging to be investigated. I realized after I had bought a rare crystal called Golden Healer Lemurian that this particular crystal was found in only one place on earth, Minas Geiras, Brazil, a state that attracted swarms of gold hunters in the 18^th century. I have experienced many odd synchronicities with this crystal, which is said to have communicative powers with other Lemurians. After my girlfriend and I obtained our crystals, there was a band playing at a bar next door. I remarked that the music gave me “Mark-Twainy vibes,” and the next line was about being on the river in St. Louis. It seemed our crystals were forging a bond, as she is from St. Louis and we got them in my hometown. Knowing that Minas Geiras had somehow made itself prevalent in my mind, and that I had a number of curious connections to the random Brazilian location, I decided to look into Sacsayhuaman to discover what this strange word could be. What I learned is that Sacsayhuaman is an ancient Incan ruin that is at the center of an incredible story of lost treasures, secret cities, underground tunnels, mysterious beings, underworlds, stargate portals used to flee Spanish conquest and fabled sky gods with incredible technologies and knowledge.

I searched through the indexes of the texts, and sure enough there were references to Sacsayhuaman in both. In Lost City, Bingham describes “leaving the marvelous Cyclopean fortress of Sacsayhuaman,” (Lost City of the Incas, 115). The stones of this site are so massive that they classify as cyclopean, or megalithic architecture. Bingham and is crew “were amazed to find that some of the polygonal blocks in it… weighed over 200 tons!” (Lost City, 115). Bingham was clearly dumbfounded by architecture of Sacsahuayaman, and he also said that “there are few sights in the world more impressive than these Cyclopean walls… what remains is the most impressive spectacle of man’s handiwork that I have ever seen in America,” (Turn Right at Machu Picchu, 36). The megalithic structure is incredible just because of the sheer size, but the investigation into the vexing riddles that the rocks pose unveils the incredible story that they are apart of.

Three Walls of Sacsayhuaman – said to represent the Three Worlds of Inca Mythology

One of the websites I frequent often when exploring ancient mysteries is Crystalinks, and this site say of Sacsayhuaman that:

“The carved stone walls fit so perfectly that no blade of grass or steel can slide between them. There is no mortar. They often join in complex and irregular surfaces that would appear to be a nightmare for the stonemason. There is usually neither adornment nor inscription. It reminds me of the stones of the Great Pyramid. That too has no inscriptions. One has to wonder who created these great stone edifices with such precision in that timeline with such limited tools. Could they have been created by the same gods or Ancient Aliens?” (http://www.crystalinks.com/incaruins.html).

The references to the Great Pyramid and Ancient Aliens are of specific interest to me, and perhaps point to how the name of this mysterious site was stuck in my head. As I have studied the great ancient sites and cultures of earth, particularly in mythologies and megalithic structures, one curious and enigmatic figure has continuously poked his head in my research, Hermes-Trismegistus. I learned that Sacsayhuaman means “Satisfied Falcon.” In my studies, I have grown accustom to linking bird headed god figures with incredible technology to Hermes-Trismegistus, whose Egyptian representation, Thoth, is an Ibis-headed figure. Inca mythology speaks of a "Bearded God" who had in the distant past visited their ancestors, taught them their culture, and mysteriously disappeared, but who would eventually return to them,”

(http://atlanteangardens.blogspot.com/2014/05/quetzalcoatl-kukulkan-viracocha-votan.html). This “Bearded God” is an archetype of the utmost importance to today’s world. According to a website called Atlantean Gardens, “he was called Quetzalcoatl by the Aztecs, Viracocha by the Incas, Kukulkan by the Mayas, Gucumatz in Central America, Votan in Palenque, and Zamna in Izamal,” (http://atlanteangardens.blogspot.com/2014/05/quetzalcoatl-kukulkan-viracocha-votan.html). I have had an immense amount of synchronicities with this being Viracocha. About a month ago I was looking at a page about sacred geometry that had a diagram of the flower of life superimposed twice over it. Within the diagram supposedly a reptilian creature was waiting to be encountered. I meditated to the flower of life for quite a while, seeing intricate geometric designs. After about half an hour a coil started manifesting itself in the diagram. My girlfriend and I were sitting looking for it, and I exclaimed, “Oh my god I’m seeing it, here it is!” Then the reptilian entity manifested itself in whole to me in the diagram, in suspended animation. The page instructed to turn the diagram 30 degrees to find an even larger and scarier entity. I was using a phone so it was difficult to approximate an exact 30 degrees, but soon after careful meditation the second being manifested itself to me, it was quite a sublime experience. I learned that at least this first entity is a representation of Viracocha, and that this is knowledge that is held to 10^th degree Freemasons.

About a week after this experience, I found an incredible book called 2012: The Return of Quetzalcoatl in a bookstore in Steamboat. I opened up a random page when I was deciding to buy the book, and found a reference to Terrence McKenna. The night before I had a premonition to look up McKenna, and this synchronicity assured me I was meant to read the book. I spent a good portion of several days of my winter break scouring this incredible book, and it describes Viracocha by his Aztec name – Quetzalcoatl, saying that:

Quetzalcoatl – the name unites the quetzal, a bird of Mexico renowned for its colorful plumage, flute-throated flitterer atop rain forest trees, and the serpent, coatl, that slinks on its belly along the Earth. Integrating what slithers, cunningly, in the dust and what soars, brightly, in the air, Quetzalcoatl as a symbol unifies perceived opposites – Heaven and Earth, spirit and matter, light and dark, science and myth. He is the god of wind and the morning star, dispenser of culture, with a special affinity for astronomy and writing and the planet Venus. He was the Attis, Adonis, Thammuz, Bacchus, Dionysius, Osiris and quite possibly the Pan of the Western World, (2012, 30).
