NEW FINDS AT THE KARIONG,NSWEGYPTIANHIEROGLYPH SITE.

The old Kingdom period [2780-2100 BCE] Egyptian hieroglyphs site off the Kariong-Woy Woy Road havelong fascinated people who visit. They are not merely evidence that ancient Egyptians and their allies sailed toour part of the world, but that a kingdom was established that lay claim to a vast area of territory which, atour present knowledge, extended from somewhere north of the Hunter region westward to the fringe country

of the Central West and southward beyond the Sydney district to the south coast beyond Wollongong inlandto encompass the Southern Highlands and Blue Mountains and beyond.This is deduced from the translations of a large number of rock inscriptions left by the colonists. For

the full story readers are directed to Pyramids of Destiny-Lost Pacific Colonies of the Bronze-Age God-Kings [URU Publications 2009] by Rex and Heather Gilroy.

However, as the book will reveal, the Kariong hieroglyphs only concern the burial information ofeight local Pharaohs who ruled this Kingdom. The Dharruk Aboriginal tribespeople once called theGosford/Brisbane Waters/Hawkesbury River region Be-row-ra, meaning to them River of the Sun. This isan ancient Egyptian word. To the Egyptians Be-row-ra meant River of the Sun-God [applied to the NileRiver] and it is certain that this was the name given to the Gosford colony and nearby Hawkesbury River bythe ancient colonists.

The Kariong hieroglyphs tell us nothing of the daily lives of the colonists. They do not speak of thereasons for the establishment of the colony, which besides being a farming colony which supplied food forthe inhabitants, was also established for the purpose of mining the gold, copper and tin of the Joadja Valley

west of Mittagong, accessed via voyages up the Hawkesbury-Nepean Rivers, and also to mine the gold,copper, tin and other precious metals and gemstones of the Mudgee-Gulgong area, accessed via voyages upthe Hunter-Goulburn Rivers.

It is not the Kariong hieroglyphs that reveal the full story of the colony, but the hundreds of rockinscriptions left by those colonists who could write, and which lying scattered throughout the bays and inletsof the Central Coast and inland, reveal the daily lives of the people, of fishing for food, mariners accounts oflocal or far-flung voyages, general information of the men, women and children, farming activities, how theycelebrated religious festivals to their deities etc. This is the kind of information that is more important than

the limited information provided by the Kariong hieroglyphs and it is this information that the Gilroys andtheir field assistants continue to reveal.*****

Our latest success occurred on Friday 27th April, 2012 when Heather and I, together with ourWentworthville-based field assistant, Nigel Kerr, drove up to Kariong.

My goal on this visit was to search bushland in the region for rock script left by the ancient colonists.Heather, due to her current knee problem, remained with the car. Nigel and I had not walked far from the car

when my eagle eye spotted a small ironstone pebble on the ground which said pick me up, so I did! It turnedout to be 8.3cm tall by 5cm wide and 3.5cm deep incomplete votive offering image of a bird with the fadingname of Lugi minutely engraved on the left side.

Searching scrub we came across a sandstone rockface which we immediately saw, contained a mixedinscription of Celto-Phoenician letterings and symbols. This lengthy message was later translated to read:

All gather in a body, Dia the Elder Son of Nui of Ham has beendeclared King of the Sun in Bels name and united

the lands of Naga and Shem within his own.All give praise in the name of Horned Bel.

In the City of the Sun Sabi has united [ie married]with the King of the Royal House of Horus.

May they be fruitful.

This latest find, reveals the name of a local monarch not found in the Kariong hieroglyphs, who ruledat the height of the Kingdoms existence, when great numbers of Celts and Phoenicians were arriving here in

fleetof large triremes to settle, farm and mine.The inscription, a declaration by an unknown scribe, informed those of the time who read it, that

Dia the Elder [meaning he was an official] has been declared King of the Sun which meant that he claimeddescent from the Sun, Ra. He is identified as the Son of Nui of Ham, that is an old Phoenician town in thehomeland.

It is also stated that the new King has united the lands of Naga and Shem and joined them to hisalready large kingdom. We have yet to learn where these lands were situated, either somewhere on the eastcoast or further inland.

A woman called Sabi, who was surely of some rank and importance, has also apparently just marriedKing Dia in the City of the Sun,which once stood where today Gosford and its suburbs now stand.

*****

Fighting our way onward into the scrub the Gilroy-Kerr Expedition discovered another rockinscription of mixed Egypto-Phoenician glyphs. A point to be made here is that after some considerable timecolonists of more than one race working together would mix their scripts to create a new language. Thismixing of scripts is a commonplace phenomena to epigraphers worldwide, particularly in the Americas, whichlike Australia and its island neighbours was visited and colonised by ancient Near and Middle-Eastern peoplesin Bronze-Age times.

There was something interesting about the rock shoal upon which we found this second inscription,for there was a fossil hominid footprint embedded in the rock close to the engravings. We wonder whetherthe ancient scribe and others realised this.

The inscription was later translated to read:

After a voyage that has lasted three Moons [ie months] we have landed in this citys harbour.We took the Serpent path of Ra [ie the name of a road]. Horus and Ra observe our work.

We grow grain in the light of Ra and here receive our share of food in payment.The Eye of Ra, his Light, the White Sun shines on this land, the Land of Ra guarded by troops.

As time progresses more rock inscriptions will reveal further information on the colony, indeed thewhole kingdom that flourished here on the Central Coast until around 2,000 years ago prior to its demise, theeventual causes of which we have yet to learn from the stones.

One goal of mine is to discover a King List which contains the names of every monarch that ruledhere, and give us some indication of the dates involved. Perhaps such a list yet awaits our discovery,

weathering away upon some well-hidden rockface somewhere in the Central Coast scrublands. Who can say

what discoveries have yet to be made in our continuing search to uncover the daily lives and names of peoplenot spoken for dim centuries and the names of the Lost Pharaohs of Gosford.

NEW FINDS AT THE BLUE MOUNTAINS MAYAN PYRAMID.Rex Gilroy.

Copyright Rex Gilroy 2012.

Back in June 2010 Heather and I, together with our visiting Brisbane-based assistant, Geoff Holland,stumbled upon a huge, crumbling sandstone/ironstone megalithic ruin, hidden amid gum forest and a tangleof shrubbery and scratchy vines.

On this day Thursday 10th June, the time was late afternoon when we discovered it, so only a shortoverall inspection of the ruin was possible at this point.

However, I could see that it was a four-sided pyramid with a flat summit containing the remains of acollapsed enclosure with a long deteriorated stairway extending south from the summit.

Heather and I returned here on Saturday 31st

July 2010 for a more detailed inspection andmeasurements. We found the structure, which was built on a north-south axis, was 14.32 metres tall frombase to summit by 21.95 metres wide at the base on its north side. From the base north to south the structuremeasured 60 metres long, the summit being 12 metres square, the former collapsed enclosure wall remainssuggesting a height of 1.6 metres. The stairway still showed remains of a wall on both sides and was 11 metres

wide, the wall having been about 80cm tall. An entrance into the enclosure at the top of the stairwaymeasured 1.6 metres wide.

Leading off from the south-east to the north-west from the pyramid base and with trees growingthrough the structure, was an 80 metre long by 11.5 metres wide and about 2 metres or so tall alignment oflarge to massive natural, unworked stones. Perhaps this giant rubble pile was meant for some unfinishedproject of the pyramid builders.

Having completed measurements I searched for any rock art and by the end of the day had found 13engraved stone slabs and boulders of varying sizes containing weathered remains of undoubted Mayanimages. One large, 97cm tall by 60cm wide, 70cm deep stone slab, at the north base of the pyramid boreimages and glyphs that spoke of grizzly ceremonies typical of the Mayans that once took place at thisstructure. Another large, 1.2metre long by 80cm wide and 40cm deep stone bore the name of the pyramid,and a ruler who once served the colony represented by this structure:

Here at the Temple of Kukulkan Bird-Jaguar your ruler speaks. All give ear.The east base of the structure revealed four large inscriptions altogether two of which featured large

images of Kukulkan, the Feathered Serpent. We suspect that more inscriptions still await discovery here,hidden under the rubble.

Besides other ceremonial purposes, this pyramid was an astronomical observatory as from aninscription Bird-Jaguar observes the Sun-Gods course across the sky. Thus the ruler, bird-Jaguar, may have been anastronomer-priest and would have been proclaimed a direct descendant of the Sun-God, Kinich Ahau.

Obviously this pyramid would have been the centrepiece of a settlement that relied upon crop-growing and besides hunting, animal husbandry for its survival. Remains of this settlement cannot be too faraway and will be the subject of a major search for its traces.

*****The age of this colony may yet place it at the time of the Cooktown settlement, that is around 250AD,

the Golden Age of Mayan culture in their Mexican homeland but a time of cross-Pacific maritimeexpansion, or else it is older. For a time the colonists of the Australian colonies elsewhere would haveretained their traditional animal deities, such as the Jaguar God but, these would have given way to theadoption of marsupial deities, as traditional Mayan culture underwent changes far from the homelandresulting in inter-breeding with other peoples met along the way here, and perhaps with Aborigines and evenremaining Uruan populations, their art styles becoming more simplified as already evident from sites such asthis one.

Actually it is quite likely that this Blue Mountains colony was an extension of a coastal one establishedin the vicinity of Newcastle at the mouth of the Hunter River. The Hunter eventually becomes the GoulburnRiver which ceases in swampland north of Mudgee on the fringe of Central Western New South Wales.

Today the rivers are a trickle of their ancient selves, for in past ages, as can be traced from the ancient seriesof winding long-vanished waterways, these water courses were deep and capable of carrying rafts of explorer-colonists deeper inland to reach the Mudgee-Gulgong districts, where gold, copper and gemstones wouldhave favoured settlement.

Having found traces of possible Amerindian stoneworks in dense bushland at a Goulburn Riverlocation, I believe that these people had indeed penetrated to the Central West.

As ancient waterway geological features of the landscape also extend south of the Mudgee district, Ibelieve that further evidence of Mayan penetration might also one day turn up hereabouts.

One of course cannot expect to come upon elaborate, exotic stoneworks as in old Mexico, for timeand the bush has reduced the Hunter-Blue Mountains sites to rubble while the sun and rain have also addedto the deterioration in many cases. The Cooktown, Queensland Mayan colony remains are a little moreprotected by their jungle covering and deadly Taipans that discourage searches for these remains.

The Blue Mountains Pyramid as Heather and I have named it, does not give away its location andthe last thing we want to see is another Gympie Pyramid fiasco, with couldnt-care-less treasure-hunting

vandals and equally destructive religious fanatics tearing this structure to pieces for a non-existent hiddenchamber containing gold etc!

*****We now report upon new finds in the vicinity of the Blue Mountains [Mayan] Pyramid, at a site

discovered on the first day [actually in the late afternoon after leaving the pyramid] that Thursday June 10th2010. On that occasion, in fading light, I came across remains of an ancient pathway leading up a riseoverlooking a remote valley. As I had to make my way back to the car to Heather and Geoff Holland, I could

but glance at deteriorated sandstone outlines of structures, an altar or two, and faded markings that may havebeen glyphs.

Having returned to this particular site on Saturday 5th May 2012, I soon discovered there may be a lotmore to be found here.

Relocating the ancient path, I followed it through scrub-covered rubble before coming across a largesandstone rock containing two unmistakable Mayan glyphs which were later translated to read: King of Lifeand Death. Here a reference to Kimi [or Cimi to some] the great Lord of the Underworldand to whom human

sacrifices were made in his Mexican temples.Beyond this stone, just beyond some bushes [which knocked my Indiana Jones hat off as I forced

my way through], I came to a rubble mound capped by a massive squarish sandstone rock with a smaller onebeside it, forming a narrow passageway north to south. At the south side of this passageway on a flat base sata broken stone slab, a former altar stone, and below the mound on flat ground I spotted a large weatheredsandstone rock containing the carving of a human skull, outlined in sun-shadow. I measured andphotographed this relic after sketching it. It measured 60cm tall by 32cm wide across the forehead and 24cm

wide across the jaws. As I looked back I realised that the mound that I had just come from was pyramidal inhaving four sides. It was obvious to me that here was a sacrificial pyramid temple of the God Kimi.

On the south side of the flat area rose another, rubble-strewn mound. After much difficulty movingthrough the loose rubble and with the shrubbery making my way difficult, I found this to be a long, narrow,

two-terraced mound, but as the dense shrubbery blocked my movements I was not certain if there might notbe a third terrace [this will be ascertained on our next investigation here]. The shape of the structuresuggested some ceremonial purpose as well as being a pyramid of unusual design.

However, closer inspection of the north end of the pyramid-temple resulted in, for me, some excitingfinds. Fading away [and necessitating chalking in like all other faded engravings] upon a crumbling sandstone

vertical rockface was the right face profile of a human head in Mayan style capped by a headpiece, a breathsymbol rising upwards towards the right eye from the rear of the mouth. The stones height was 1.2 metresand it measured 94cm wide across the base and 82cm wide across the mid-face. Beneath the head the stonehad been hollowed out by centuries of wind erosion. There was also a crumbling 69cm long by 44cm widesandstone slab, cracked in two, but still displaying faded hieroglyphs which I chalked in, photographed, drewand measured. Later at home my Mayan language literature helped me to translate the inscription which

covered both sections of the stone. The glyphs read: Beb-Ku Maie Beb-Ku King. Here was the name of thesecond former ruler of this colony so far discovered hereabouts!

Beside the inscription I uncovered a sandstone rock 28cm in length by 26cm width and 15cm depth,bearing the right face profile of an open-mouthed human head featuring a long ear. This image would have tohave represented some priest but any inscription bearing his name has not survived.

Then nearby, now fallen over, was a 1.4 metre tall stone head which I realised in afternoon shadows,revealed a large left face profile with a long ear and the breath symbol extending up from the rear of the openmouth to behind the nose. The relic measured 96cm wide across the mid-face by 48cm deep.

I realised that the short winter day was drawing to an end and had to work fast if I was to recordeverything properly. Actual measurements of these pyramid structures would have to wait for my next visit,but the large long and narrow terraced structure I judged to roughly be the height of the Pyramid-Temple of

Kukulkan.I could not see if there were any glyphs on the large long-eared head for now. Naming the pyramid

the Temple of the Long-Eared Priests for the time being I was about to leave when, on the west side of thestructure at its base there lay a long sandstone rock with deeply carved open mouth and single large eye. I hadto quickly remove my backpack, and getting out pen and clipboard and ruler I proceeded to draw the image,chalk in the outlines and take photos before the sun set over the opposite mountain. The rear of the largestone had been eroded away by time and the elements. Measuring 4 metres long by 1.2 metres wide and 1.4metres deep the relic, lying on an north-south axis, may have represented Kukulkan, the Feathered Serpent.However, another inspection later might reveal identifying script.

The term Feathered Serpent back in the Americas symbolised not one individual culture-hero asmany researchers often believe, but MANY people. That is, people led by a great chieftain or ruler, who

arrived, on their shores in sailed vessels.In the case of this colony the title would have been given to the leader of the expedition that first

landed on the coast, and who oversaw the establishment of their settlements.I thought about this and the deteriorating serpent image as I hastened through the scrubland back to

Heather whose current knee problems keeps her from rough terrain tramping for now.

The Mayan colonisation of Pacific Islands in the course of cross-Pacific voyages on great sailed raftscontaining shelters and supplies, parallels voyages of the Incas who dispatched massive fleets of thousands ofmen and women colonists long before the arrival of the Spanish Conquistadores.

For example, Inca Tupac Yupanui personally set off with 20,000 people from the coast of Peru sometime during his rule [1471-1493]. They sailed in a fleet of 400 huge sailed rafts on an expedition of trade,seeking out distant islands already known from earlier voyages, to lie far across the ocean to the west. Thefleet was gone a year. How far it sailed is a mystery but after one year Inca Tupac returned with a brass chair,

the jaw bone and carcase of a horse, and captive black people and others from the lands his expeditionvisited. In those times the nearest horses would only have been available in Java and other South-East Asianisland lands further north!

Peruvian voyages of colonisation to Australia are a certainty as discussed in previous newsletterarticles of the author which reveal Chimu and later Inca period contacts with Australia.

So it would have been with the Mayans. Massive size rafts could be constructed by joining numbersof rafts of smaller size together, permitting large numbers of people on board, as well as shelters and supplies.

The Pacific Islands are dotted with megalithic temples and pyramids, astronomical structures andother ruins, laid out along a ghostly trail that leads to New Zealand, the Solomons and other nearby islands tothe east coast of Australia.

Here is a hidden history not taught in our education establishments but being revealed by the

Gilroys and their assistants!-0-

AZTECVOYAGES TOAUSTRALIA..Rex Gilroy.

Copyright Rex Gilroy 2012.

In the wake of archaeological finds pointing to cross-Pacific sailed raft expeditions by Mayan andPeruvian colonists in pre-Columbus times, which settled areas of Australia, let us turn to the Aztecs, who liketheir other Amerindian forebears were skilled mariners who have left traces of their pacific Island voyages inthe form of relics and rock art, extending in a ghostly trail from the coast of Mexico to the shores of

Australia.The Aztecs appeared from out of northern Mexico to establish themselves in the island heart of

Texcoco. Here they built Tenochtitlan [now Mexico City] around 1200 AD. They soon conquered centralMexico and imposed the worship of their Gods, Tezcatlipoca and Huitzilopochtli upon the local villagers.

Their height was reached under Montezuma the 2nd

between 1502-1520 before their destruction by theSpanish Conquistadores under Hernan Cortes in 1519-1521.

That Aztec explorer-colonists penetrated the Pacific Islands in single-sailed rafts capable of containinglarge numbers of men, including women, with shelters and supplies in the manner of the earlier Mayans andlater Incas etc., was supported by the late anthropologist/explorer Thor Heyerdahl.

In Heyerdahls book American Indians in the Pacific published by George Irwin & Unwin Ltd1952] he states: In discussing physical features of the Pacific Islanders Baucke [1928], who was born in theChatham Islands in 1848, noted that the aquiline or hooked nose was more prominent among the Morioris ofthe Chatham Islands than elsewhere in Polynesia. He described one branch of these island Morioris as havinga predominating narrow Aztec face and pinched high-ridged down-curved nose. Hoop [1932] wrote ofthe stone human figures bearing Mexican-like ponchos in South Sumatra.

The Aztecs painted images of Mother Earth as having numerous breasts. Closely related imagery has

been described from throughout Polynesia [Mahling B. (1902)]. They worshipped the bearded Quetzalcoatl,their culture hero and wanderer from across the Pacific.

*****In ancient Mexico the Aztecs and also the earlier Mayan culture, held the name Tula of greatest

importance in their religious mythologies; for Tula was the Abode of the Sunand the original land from whichtheir culture-heroes came. Tu meant God, sacred and divine to the Maya and also the Polynesians.

Tule was believed to be the homeland of the ancestors of the Amerindians, or rather it was thehomeland of a white-skinned race, the Uru, who introduced culture and civilisation to the still primitive

Amerindians before the rise of the first known Amerindian culture, that of the Olmecs, which flourished inMiddle America on the coastal plain along the Gulf of Mexico from about 1200 BC to 400BC.

Tula was one name by which the Aztecs described the homeland of their fair-skinned predecessors,

personified as Quetzalcoatl, the feathered serpent[meaning he was a population that arrived in sailed craft, theserpent part of the name meaning that these people [the Uru] were Sun-worshippers, the serpent being thesymbol of the Sun among all ancient cultures worldwide.

The other names for Australia among the Aztecs was Culhuacan, or Land of the Serpentmeaning itsinhabitants were Sun-worshippers as just stated. The other name was Aztlan. Both these names described

Australia as the Great land to the West or the Lost Paradise Land of the West. It is significant that Aztectradition maintained that a great red rock stood at the centre of this land marking the centre of the world!How could they have possibly known of Ayers Rock/Uluru unless they had sailed here or even learnt of itfrom Uruan colonists of the Americas?

In fact Aztec chronicles describe the Lost Paradise of Culhuacanwhich the great culture-bearer,Quetzalcoatl informed them, lay far across the great waterto the west, and was the land where mankind first

arose, at whose centre stood the Great Red Rockor Mountain of Paradise.If Aztecs had once reached as far into Australia as the Red Centre then we should expect that one day

relics supporting such a contact will turn up thereabouts.The Mayans had reached our shores at an earlier period and possessed traditions back in Mexico of

The Rock. It is also a remarkable fact that replicas of Uluru were kept in the temples of a number ofcivilisations of the past, and in the Americas we find that Aztec chronicles describe the great rock standing inthe Lost Paradiseof Culhuacan, shown with an unbalanced appearance at one end and a more gentle slopeon the other. Here they said Mankind first arose. When viewed from Palm Valley the rock does appear toslope more steeply on one side with a more gentle slope on the other as already said.

Aztec tradition spoke of a Palm Grove located near the rock watered byfour converging rivers. Thisdescription fits Palm Valley near Uluru. If Palm Valley was the Aztec Garden of Eden this would explain

mysterious Amerindian-style rock art found thereabouts.*****

It is an interesting fact that the original Aboriginal name for Ayers Rock was not Uluru but Uru!Aborigines of the Mount Connor area believe that a race of Eagle Men sun-worshippers who performedceremonies dedicated to the Sun-God at the base of the great monolith once occupied the Mount Connor-Uluru region in a time when the Red Centre was much more lush than it is today with forestlands and

waterways.Many cultural diffusionists have pointed to a number of plants and fruits that have found

their way across the pacific Islands even to Australia and South-East Asia in pre-European exploration timesas possible evidence for Amerindian cross-Pacific voyages.

Argument exists over the introduction of the Prickly Pear cactus into Australia. Popular folklore on

obscure grounds suggests it came here on the First fleet [1788] and quickly spread. The plant is Mexican inorigin and if as some believe its arrival here pre-dates British arrival, then might it not have been introducedhere by Mayans or even Aztecs?

Just as the Prickly Pear was a probable importation to Northern Australia, from where it graduallyspread to the rest of the continent, so too the Coconut appeared in our tropical coastal northern regions in

antiquity, just as it did in Melanesia. Another import from the Americas, it may have been brought here onAztec rafts which followed the ocean currents to leave the plant in Indonesia at an early date.

The Coconut appeared mysteriously in Java somewhere around the Tang Dynasty of china [618-905AS]. As there seems to be a Mayan influence in ancient Javanese architecture [ie in their temple-pyramids]some suggest the introduction of the Coconut there may have been the result of Mayan voyages. On theother hand both cultures could have introduced the plant there!

In any case Aztec colonists, according to the late Thor Heyerdahl may have followed the Pacific drift-

currents as far as south Sumatran waters, for here stone statues have been found which parallel other fromAztec sites in old Mexico.

One thing seems certain, that from all the revelations of Mayan pyramids, Chimu pottery and stoneimage finds lately reported in Mysterious Australia it seems certain that Australia possesses evidence of anhitherto unknown history of ancient Amerindian voyages to our shores!

This portion of an Aztec map shows the migration of atribe across the Pacific Ocean to the Lost Paradise ofCulhuacan, the great land to the west at the centre

of which stood a great red rock. [How could they andother Amerindian peoples have known this, unless theyhad learnt of it from people who had seen Ayers Rock[Uluru] in Central Australia? A translation of the

maps accompanying inscription states: Now here is arecord of the Hakuta warrior people of the Scorpion

Clan who gave an account of a journey they made overthe ocean, sailing west then south, to reach the paradiseland of Culhuacan. With our allies the Naqui Clan

let us sail across the sea, beyond the lands of fire* whereheat is created. So they sailed west in a great numberacross the ocean. And they came to the lands of fire.Their ruler was Kui and he bade them to settle these

lands of fire. Then they said among them, Let us sailon to the Land of the Western horizon, across theocean, to the Paradise Land of Culhuacan that lay

beneath the Sun. It is ruled by the Snake God Clan.So they sailed on and reached this land, and they cameupon a great red rock that lay at the centre of all life,and fought a battle with people who threw spears with

the aid of sticks and carried shields and used clubs. Thebattle was hard and men were buried in mounds at thegreat red rock which was the centre of all life**. Herethey left a chronicle of themselves. Let us return home

that we may tell others of our new land, and somejourneyed home where their exploits were chronicled and

others sailed there also. [*probably the HawaiianIslands; **Surely Ayers Rock or Uluru].

This post-Spanish conquest Aztec illustrationdepicts the great west Paradise Land of Atzlan,

an island continent surrounded by ocean. Anothername for the legendary original homeland of

mankind to the Aztecs, it was ruled byQuetzalcoatl, the great White God, who once

sailed from there to introduce culture andcivilisation to their forefathers. Here Quetzalcoatlis depicted standing atop the great red rock that

stood at the centre of the paradise land of Atzlan.

Ayers Rock, [Uluru] Central Australia - the Great Red Rock that marked the worlds centre in themiddle of the Lost Paradise of Mankind in the religious mythologies of all Old World [and New World]

cultures and civilisations. Knowledge of the existence of this monolith throughout the ancient world couldonly have been obtained either through the spread of the Uruan megalithic civilisation at the dawn ofhistory, or through contacts with Australia and its interior, by the maritime civilisations of antiquity.


A Viracocha image. This great White God is emblematic of an entire people,

a population of great numbers who sailed to the Peruvian coast from acrossthe western horizon in the dawn mists of Amerindian history. They

established themselves inland around the shores of Lake Titicaca, 3,900metres up in the Andes, where they built the great city of Tiahuanaco. Therecently extinct white tribe who called themselves Uru claimed to be the

descendants of the original race, who it is said, introduced culture andcivilisation to the primitive Indians of Peru. The Aztecs and Mayans of

Mexico preserved traditions of Quetzalcoatl, and Kukulkan respectively.Both names meant Plumed Serpent, meaning that he was a Sun-

worshipper. The Brazilian Indians say he walked on water, meaning hesailed to their shores. This White God was always bearded. The same

traditions are found on the Atlantic side of the Americas, demonstrating thatpeoples from the Mediterranean and Middle-East sailed to those shores, just

as they reached the Pacific coast via the Australian region. Yet thesetraditions are, in the case of the Pacific coast of the Americas, mixed with thearrival of that earlier Solar-worshipping race - the Uru, the original culture-

bearers of the Americas. Illustration S. Waisbard.
