NEW LIGHT ON THE CHIMU COLONY OFNAROOMA,NEW SOUTHWALES.

By Rex GilroyCopyright Rex Gilroy 2011.

Evidence accumulates that the pre-Inca Chimu people of Peru, in the course of cross-Pacific voyages on largesailed rafts, in the course of which they found the Australian east coast, established a colony of some size atNarooma, on the New South Wales far south coast.

In our February 2011 issue of Mysterious Australia I reported on the 36cm tall by 36cm wide potteryhead recovered in two fragments by me in rainforest soil outside Narooma on Wednesday 12th January, 2011later identified as an image of the Chimu Moon-God SinAn.

Any further coastal front habitation evidence, such as around Narooma Inlet may long ago have beenobliterated by modern settlement. However, on one of my famous hunches I suspected at the time of thepottery head find that further evidence of Amerindian [ie Chimu] colonisation awaited discovery furtherafield inland, I was to be proven right!

The Chimu pottery head was found on Tuesday 12th January 2011, and the following day Heather andI excitedly showed our find to our friends Antji and Allan Westrip at Dalmeny, who have accompanied us onso many local expeditions in the past.

A full description of the pottery head and its Moon-worship function can be found in the February2011 issue of our Mysterious Australia newsletter.

Interestingly, the former Aboriginal tribespeople of the Narooma district once held a Full Mooncorroboree to celebrate the moon reaching its fullness. This celebration had Amerindian features, suggesting

an influence passed on by the Chimu people who settled this coastal area.*****The Chimu civilisation arose on Perus north-west coast around 1000 AD, building a capital city at

Chan Chan where it is estimated that anything up to 1,000 people lived prior to the civilisations spread intothe Andes under the ruler Nancen Pinco after 1370 only to be conquered by the Incas around 1470.

The Incas were the last and largest pre-Columbian civilisation in South America. It created a vastAndean empire between 1438 and 1532, being subsequently destroyed by the conquistadores of FranciscoPizarro in the 1530s.

The Narooma colony would pre-date the Inca conquest. Established by a good-sized fleet of colonists[both men and women] it apparently grew to considerable size, and apart from any colonising of PacificIslands in the course of expeditions across the Pacific, there is no reason why other colonies could not havebeen established on the eastern Australian coastline.

On Tuesday 22nd February 2011 Heather and I drove down the coast to Dalmeny to visit the Westripsand on Thursday morning 24th February we headed off into the mountains westof Narooma. Knowing theancient colonists needed fresh water, I aimed for a rainforest creek I had found in 2010, which descendsd\onto the coastal flats where I suspect the Chimu would have grown maize and/or corn bought with them,

traces of such ancient farming having been uncovered on some Pacific Islands [this is yet one more possibilityto be investigated in the Narooma district.

Upon fighting my way through rainforest growth towards the mountainside creek I began to seescattered outlines of small, apparently ancient stone dwellings. Reaching the creek I spotted remains of alengthy ancient wall composed of carefully-placed stone slabs on the opposite bank.

Near where I was standing I soon came upon a mass of stone slabs, largely coated in moss, placedlong ago over a section of slope to prevent erosion. To one side of this stood a large upright stone bearing a

female figure with raised arms, her left one holding the Moon. The stone bore a face and Chimu glyphs, latertranslated to read: Women celebrate the Moons course.

In the vicinity of this find I soon uncovered other, scattered stone engravings, one of which wouldlead me in the coming months to further discoveries in this region, which are now revealing a colony ofconsiderable extent.

The first of these finds was a 29.5cm tall by 14cm wide and 7.2cm deep stone bearing a carved facewith an ancient Peruvian-style head cap. Chimu glyphs extended down the face [a left profile] to the bottomof the head where the glyph of a stepped pyramid with surmounting snake and the glyph for House of DeadKingswas carved.

This inscription was later translated to read:Mi, Who gives praise to Inti*

The cup-Bearer of Inti,At the Pyramid of the Sun-Snake

the house of Dead Kings,serviced by the seven virgin daughters of Inti.

[*Inti was the name for the Sun itself, while the actual God of the Sun was called Kon].The name Mi was that of a priest who served the Sun-God upon the Sun-Snake Pyramid. But where

was this pyramid located? I would soon find out.The next find was a stone slab 34.5cm tall by 19.5cm wide and 1.6cm deep containing the engraved

image of a squatting human figure clutching a staff, the figure, a male, wore an ear plug and beneath this leftprofile image were glyphs indentifying him as Cahepu the High Priest.

Among nearby leaf litter I retrieved an almost disc-shaped stone which I soon discovered bore a

front-on face, a reversed crescent moon image engraved across the forehead. Measuring 21.5cm tall by17.2cm wide and 3.5cm in depth I recognised the features as those of the Chimu Moon-God, SinAn, who

was also a Chimu Corn deity.A couple of crudely carved basalt graffiti head images were also found half buried in the forest

debris. The faded, weather-worn condition of these carvings made chalking in necessary for photographypurposes.

Continuing the search I soon uncovered another carved stone amid the creek bank forest debris,another carved head in left profile. It bore a Peruvian cap, Sun and Snake motifs with the letters Kanah andNoocol. The stone was 30cm in height by 20cm width and 2.2cm in depth. The translation of this imagesinscription later revealed it to be the Sun-God, Kon.

I could hardly wait to show these latest finds to Antji. As I began working my way back through the

forest to a dirt road where Heather waited with the car, I found more rubble outlines of former dwellings.As we drove back to Dalmeny I pondered where the Sun-Snake Pyramidmight be...

*****Heather and I would have stayed longer with the Westrips but there were things to get done back at

Katoomba, however we were back at Dalmeny on Thursday 21st July and after spending time with ourfriends, we once more headed off into the mountains and the mountain forested creek where I now knew Ihad found the remains of a Chimu settlement.

To the Chimu of Peru, beyond the western horizon of the vast [Pacific] ocean lay the Paradise Land ofthe West, the Land of the Snake meaning its inhabitants were Sun-worshippers [the snake symbolising theSun in all ancient world civilisations]. The Land of Kanak or Land of the Snakeaccording to legends, wassymbolised by a great red rock that stood at its centre, marking the centre of the world. The mystery is that,

from whom did the "Paradise Land of the Westoriginate? There can be but one answer, and that is, that in farearlier times the Americas were visited by a race of Gods, the mysterious White God who gave culture tothe primitive Amerindians at the dawn of civilisation. We believe this mysterious white race was the Uru, therace that arose in Australia to create the first [megalithic] civilisation which, in the course of time they spreadacross the earth, including to the peoples of Central and South America, long before the rise of the supposed

first Amerindian culture, the Olmec. It was the tradition, passed down from those times, of the White Godsthat sailed from the westthat would lead not only the Peruvian but Mexican maritime cultures to sail in searchof the Lost Paradise Land of the West, the Land of Kanakof the Chimu.

*****Rising up out of the dense forest to the east of the creek was a densely-forested hill, which I found to

be four-sided and on Friday 22nd July I found an old timber cutters dirt track which we were able to follow,and which not only let to the base of the hill, but had been cut up the northern side of it. Due to a current leg

problem Heather remained with the car while, wearing my Indiana Jones hat and carrying my backpack filledwith equipment, I proceeded to climb the hill.As I climbed the old track I found it cut through ancient terracing. The hill I found was composed of

quartz crystal and besides old stumps of large gums cut over 30-40 years ago, which saw tracks cut down thefour sides of the hill to remove the timber, others had obviously used an earth-mover to excavate largechunks of hillside to mine the crystal. But for some remaining signs of terracing on the western summit anddown the south side of the hill and some remaining outlines of structures that once stood on the flat summit,there was scarcely anything left to identify it as a pyramid, a stepped pyramid as I realised it had once been.

To Amerindians apart from gold, quartz crystal was associated with the Sun; the gold symbolising the tears ofthe Sun, the quartz crystal his rain. I had found what was left of the Sun-Snake Pyramid!

Although the timber industry had been stopped from cutting down much of the beautiful forest

country of the south coastal mountains and flats, in the Narooma district we were to learn it has beenpermitted by the government on a limited scale.I estimated the pyramid to have been about 300 ft square by 200ft in height, with an approximate 100

ft square summit ceremonial area. More accurate measurements will be carried out later.Besides crystal, the pyramid is also composed of rhodonite. After photographing what I could and

removing a few samples of the crystal and rhodonite I returned to Heather.The time was now afternoon as we drove along a dirt road west of the Sun-Snake Pyramid and the

creek site. Then about 2 kilometres from the first pyramid I realised we were passing another. We pulled up atwhat was the entrance to another dirt road, cut up the west side of yet another four-sided hill to remove allthe largest gums from the summit. The timber-cutters had in fact cut their road over the summit of astructure originally shaped from a natural hill like the other pyramid. Their timber removing activities had

destroyed terraces, and the whole northern half of a platform of stones that I estimated to have been about60 ft square. The pyramid itself was about 400 ft square at the base by 100 ft tall. At least three large terraceson the south face were still partially intact with tree growth covering them.

As I returned to the car I spotted a large broken rock on the ground. Seeing it bore a pyramid glyph Ipicked it up to find other faded glyphs on the other side. These glyphs when later translated read The Pyramidof the Moon-God SinAn. At the summit the Gods phases are observed.

An ancient road must have linked the two pyramids to the creek settlement, and also to the coastalflats, and this I hope to one day find traces of. A last search of the creek the next day resulted in the discoveryof a right face profile stone carving. Besides the outline of a Peruvian-style cap there were glyphs which weretranslated to read Canah-Can Priest of the Temple and Servant of Kon. It measured 16cm tall by 13cm wide and

was 4.2cm deep.

At least hundreds of people had to have been present for this colony to have thrived. No doubtfurther investigations at these sites will turn up more evidence, and I have plans to search other areas beyondNarooma for possible traces of Chimu settlement.

What new treasures await our discovery in our continuing search for traces of the Chimu colony ofNarooma?

EGYPTO-PHOENICIAN MINES OFVICTORIA ANDTASMANIA.

by Rex GilroyCopyright Rex Gilroy 2011.

Long on the Egyptian coast by calms confined.Heaven to my feet refused a prosperous wind,No vows had we preferred nor victim slain,for the Gods each favouring gale restrain.

Homer, The Odyssey, [about 800 BC]

In Chapter Twenty-eight of our book Pyramids of Destiny Lost Pacific Colonies of the Bronze-Age God-Kings we barely touched upon the activities of the Bronze-Age miners in Victoria and Tasmania. Theancient mineral-seekers could hardly have overlooked these states, and penetrating their coastal rivers, the

expertise of Phoenician miner-colonists would surely have born fruit, as these men literally sniffed outgood mineral and gemstone-bearing deposits, as historical writings demonstrate.

Mystery rock scripts found on the coast near Warrnambool during the gold rush days of the 19thcentury, unfortunately not preserved by early European settlers, might have told us more. The Hopkins Riverenters the Southern Ocean here, winding deep inland to the Ararat gold-bearing district, and overlandexploration by the ancient mineral seekers would have introduced them to the mineral band gemstone-richfields of Ballarat and Bendigo, once camels and horses were transported down the coast by ship from NewSouth Wales bases, after a coastal colony had been established at the mouth of the Hopkins River.

There is also the probability that vessels, having ventured along the Murray River beyond its junctionwith the Darling, would have found offshoot systems that would have carried them deep into Victoriaswestern goldfields; such as the Loddon, which branching off the Murray at Swan Hill, would have taken the

ancient miner-colonists into the Castlemaine district; or the Campaspe River, branching off the Murray atEchuca, which would have carried vessels past Bendigo southward beyond Castlemaine and reasonably closeto Ballarat. Of course in the times we are dealing with, these rivers would have been far deeper than today.

The above hypothetical routes are not without reason, for over generations farmers and others haveturned up the occasional mystery rock inscription, ancient Palestinian or other pottery fragment or ancientbronze arrow head etc.

The early European miners during the 1850s often came upon open-cut mining operations in remotegold and copper bearing country near Ballarat, Bendigo and elsewhere in western Victoria, which appeared topre-date European colonisation by many centuries. Ancient pestles and mortars were dug up by surfacemining operations near Maryborough which puzzled their discoverers. And in the Daylesford district earlyminers discovered large granite rockfaces that had been literally battered away to obtain gemstones centuries

before their arrival. This district is famous for its sapphires, garnets, zircons and quartz gems today.Mid-19th century prospectors also came across extensive signs of pre-British mining operations in thegold and gemstone country of Trentham, east of Daylesford, and also in the Beechworth district, whereancient hammer stones, mortars and pestles were found where they had been abandoned in antiquity besidequartz reefs.

The Phoenicians were great lovers of gemstones, cutting and polishing jaspers and other preciousstones vast centuries before Europeans invented the technique!

And at Omeo, in Victorians north-east close to the New South Wales border country, there weregold and tin open-cut mining operations discovered by early settlers, who learnt from local Aboriginaltribespeople that the area had been settled by culture heroes who dug rocks from the ground to carry themaway in the long-ago Dreamtime.

There is undoubted evidence that massive quantities of gold, copper and tin were mined at variouslocalities by mystery visitors, centuries before the coming of the Europeans.The ancient miners, who ventured up the Murray from its mouth, had to have left their calling

cards in the form of rock scripts. During September 1995, Heather and I were driving south from Keithtowards Naracoorte, in south-eastern South Australia. Heather pulled up at Christmas Rocks while I took

scenic photos. Climbing to the summit of this 35m high rocky outcrop, I discovered a series of Libyansymbols cut deep into a granite boulder. The glyphs, which included ships, read:

This fleet of men and women in five ships havereached this flat land, and journeying inland from our ships

to this place have erected a shrine to Baal here.

Our time on this occasion was short as we were due elsewhere, but I was certain that there was moreevidence to be found hereabouts.

The inscription made mention of flat land and the surrounding countryside hereabouts certainly fitsthat description. In fact, Christmas Rocks stand out, rising as this formation does high above the coastalplain.

Yet Christmas Rocks is a long way from the Murray River. However, the importance of theseletterings is that similar Libyan and Phoenician rock scripts have been found at Tailem Bend and near MurrayBridge, as well as near Renmark close to the New South Wales-Victorian border.

*****Tasmania has yielded similar traces to those uncovered in Victoria, pointing to extensive mining of

gold, copper, tin and other precious metals and gemstones by mysterious colonists, who settled this land inthe dim past. There can be little doubt in our minds that these mystery mineral-seekers were peoples from theLand of the Nile.

The west coast appears to have attracted the ancient colonists. Queenstown, whose nearby Macquarieharbour would have offered a safe anchorage for any mining fleet, once explored, would have revealed itsrich copper deposits. In the Mount Lyell area, the first 19th century Europeans to enter the district, cameacross ancient excavated hillsides and signs of smelting. Ancient slag heaps lay about the area, all overgrownby dense bushland. Gold and copper had certainly been mined here and carried away, presumably to triremesin Macquarie Harbour.

Such extensive mining activity would not only have required the use of pack animals and oxen fordrawing cartloads of ores, but settlements near the mining sites, and certainly at Macquarie Harbour. Vastnumbers of workers, their families and troops [for protection from the fierce Aboriginal inhabitants] wouldhave made up the colony.

Gemstones would certainly have been another interest of the colonists, and the west coast is famousfor its deposits of diamonds, rubies, topaz crystals, zircons and sphenes.

The tin deposits of the north-east were apparently mined by unknown visitors centuries beforeEuropean arrival, as 19th and early 20th century prospectors to the region found out to their great surprise, forthe weathered remains of tell-tale open-cut mining were to be found in many hidden and overgrown locations

where often mystery rock engravings were associated with these excavations.Many abandoned European gold mines are to be found in the Cape Portland area, but occasional

finds of broken ancient Middle-Eastern and Mediterranean pottery and other relics, picked up hereaboutsover the last 100 years or so suggest someone else had dug here long before them.

The minerals and gemstones mined by the ancients from Tasmania would not have been the onlyconcern of these hardy explorers. Settlements would have required the establishment of farms for thegrowing of crops to feed the populace. Cattle and sheep would have been bred as another food source.Perhaps emus were bred for their eggs and kangaroos bred in enclosures like the cattle and sheep, not just asa food source, but also for their hides, useful in the manufacture of warm clothing during the harsh wintermonths, as happened on the mainland colonies.

Good timber would have been needed also, for ship building and repairs, as well as for theconstruction of dwellings, and shiploads of timber would have been a familiar sight being transported downthe coastal rivers, just as it was also on the mainland.

It is very likely that, rather than being transported directly home to Egypt by one route or another, theriches were dispatched to the mainland coastal colonies prior to the long voyage home. Of course this wouldhave occurred before the rise of the local God-Kings and their decisions to gradually isolate their kingdomsfrom the Egyptian homeland, from which time on the precious metals, gemstones, wood and other localtradeable material would be shipped to south-east Asian ports.

Today historical researchers are beginning to discover what became of the countless millions oftonnes of precious metals, gemstones and other Australian valuables that reached the ports of island South-

East Asia, such as Java, Malaya, Ceylon [ancient Lanka] and India, as well as the Persian Gulf and Red Seaports in Bronze-Age times.

For example, Australian pearls have been identified in the crowns of Indian princes who reigned inthe days of Alexander the Great and centuries before that; and world-wide experts in the different types ofgold believe they can identify Australian gold used in Egyptian temple and funerary objects.

Also, as revealed earlier in Chapter Nine, from around 1000 BC onwards it appears that vastquantities of eucalyptus oil was extracted from Australia, not only for use in the mummification of the dead,

but also for other medicinal purposes; also Australian timber reached the land of Nile at that time as alsorevealed in that chapter.

The Gilroys plan a major search throughout Tasmania. It is certain that rock inscriptions left by thehardy Phoenicians, Egyptians, Libyans and others await us, upon rocks at the mouths of coastal rivers and atancient coastal and inland mining sites, which will reveal yet more hitherto unknown information on thehidden history of Australian Bronze-Age colonisation.

Meanwhile we have more mysterious finds to investigate on the mainland - in South Australia,Western Australia and the Northern Territory - in the light of searches which have resulted in the turning upof some tantalising finds in recent years in these states. These finds make it certain that Australias westernhalf may hide beneath the drifting sands of its arid wastes, treasures of a long-hidden and lost history rivallingany known to the Old World.
