Machu Picchu's Extraterrestrial Connection Part 1

Around 5,000 years ago, when Earth was in total upheaval, as a result of climate change and flooding, numerous versions of a sky-god religion spread around the world and its been an influence on many aspects of human life right through to present times.By: Leonard Farra - MessageToEagle.com - In order to appreciate the deeper religious significance of Machu Picchu, we must travel back in time long before the Incan era.
According to legend, our world was visited by civilising sky-gods who taught man agriculture, and many useful arts, but who later destroyed evil people with a flood. One of the 'civilising gods' had the appearance of a tall, white, bearded ,man who wore a long white robe and carried a multi- purpose staff which could be used for healing, dowsing, etc.
Although he had long since been gone, many early people enacted religious rituals celebrating his 'annual return'.

Many of the Ancients associated their visitors with the Pleiades whose stars played a major role in early religions and traditions. (1) These 'Seven Sisters' were linked with 'The Flood', the Creation of the universe, the civilisers of man, and the beginning of the agricultural season. Some people believed that their ancestors came from them and that they will return there when they die.(2) Their appearance, at certain times of the year, regulated some of the early calendars and heralded the dawn of a new age.

At the end of an era, or of the year, in cultures separated by time and space, fires throughout the land were extinguished and were relit after the Pleiades appeared. And around the beginning of November, in countries which allegedly had no contact with each other, when the Pleiades appeared, people celebrated the Festival of the Dead when departed souls were thought to return to Earth.

Festival of the Dead in Peru.

In the era around 3,000 b.c.e, when a major El Nino event occurred in the Pacific, a civilisation arose in the Supe Valley in Peru and it lasted for about 800 years. In the upper level of the city of Caral, 14 miles in from the coast, there was a ceremonial site with six large platform mounds.
The circle was also of special significance to the Caral people as they built sunken circular courts and on the summit of their pyramids they had a circular altar. They also aligned a stone circle, with a central standing stone, to their tallest pyramid.(3)
A few stone circles have been found elsewhere in Peru, in Brazil, North America, Easter Island , and in many other countries, but not nearly as many as in the British Isles where a standing stone surrounded by a circle of stones was a common feature. A circled dot often appeared in stone age art and in Egypt, it was a symbol of the god Ra.
Surrounding a stone with a circle implies that there is something special about it. Could it be that it represented a god in his circular home?(4)

Machu Picchu

Researchers, at Caral, were intrigued to find a small male figure , dated around 2280 -2180 b.c.e, which was shown wearing a hat and holding a staff in his right hand and, possibly, a snake in his left hand.
This figure appears to represent the Early World's civilising god who was depicted in the form of the staff-god in Peruvian art.
Chavin de Hauntar, in the Mosna Valley in the Northern Highlands of Peru, is thought to span the period from 850 b.c.e to 200 b.c. e.(5 )
Chavin's Old Temple consisted of a U shaped pyramidal platform, open towards the rising sun, and in the centre of the two wings there was a 'circular' plaza.
The axis on the west is said to be ' remarkably near the azimuth of the setting of the Pleiades around the time of its construction'(6)
The 7ft tall Raimondi Stone, now in the Lima Museum, originally stood somewhere in Chavin but it's original position is unknown. This stylised ,mystical, stone, which has snakes rising from its head, represents the Peruvian staff-god holding an elaborate staff in each hand and it appears to be a later version of the figure that was found at Caral.

Staff god


Around the circular plaza, there are several slabs and on some of them there is symbolism associated with the sky-god religion.( 7 ) One slab shows an individual blowing a shell trumpet and another depicts a figure holding a staff. Twenty conch shell trumpets have been discovered at Chavin which suggests that they were blown on important occasions. In the southwest corner, of the site's lowest plaza's upper level, in its New Temple, there's a limestone slab upon which are carved seven circular depressions resembling the Pleiades ( 8 )

Chavin de Hauntar

As these stars were of special significance at Chavin, could it be that, when they appeared, on important festivals, staff-carrying priests blew conch shell trumpets and rituals were enacted that related to the return of the staff-god?

Chemical attack was Syria rebel provocation, former hostages say

Two Europeans who were abducted and held hostage for several months in Syria claim they overheard an exchange between their captors which proves that rebels were behind the recent chemical attack.

In a number of interviews to European news outlets, the former hostages - Belgian teacher Pierre Piccinin and Italian journalist Domenico Quiric - said they overheard an English-language Skype conversation between their captors and other men which suggested it was rebel forces, not the government, that used chemical weapons on Syria’s civilian population in an August 21 attack near Damascus.

“It is a moral duty to say this. The government of Bashar al-Assad did not use sarin gas or other types of gas in the outskirts of Damascus,” Piccinin said during an interview with Belgium's RTL radio station.

Piccinin stressed that while being held captive, he and fellow prisoner Quirico were secluded from the outside world and had no idea that chemical weapons were deployed. But the conversation which both men overheard suggested that the use of the weapons was a strategic move by the opposition, aimed at getting the West to intervene.

"In this conversation, they said that the gas attack on two neighborhoods of Damascus was launched by the rebels as a provocation to lead the West to intervene militarily,”Quirico told Italy’s La Stampa. "We were unaware of everything that was going on during our detention in Syria, and therefore also with the gas attack in Damascus."
While stating that the rebels most likely exaggerated the accident’s death toll, the Italian journalist stressed that he could not vouch whether “the conversation was based on real facts." However, he said that one of the three people in the alleged conversation identified himself as a Free Syrian Army general, La Stampa reported.

Based on what both men have learned, Peccinin told RTL that it would be “insane and suicidal for the West to support these people.”

“It pains me to say it because I've been a fierce supporter of the Free Syrian Army in its rightful fight for democracy since 2012," Piccinin added.

Quirico seems to agree with Peccini’s assessment.
“I am extremely surprised that the United States could think about intervening, knowing very well how the Syrian revolution has become international jihadism – in other words Al-Qaeda," Quirico said, as quoted by Italy’s Quotidiano Nazionale.

The 62-year-old La Stampa journalist believes that radical Islamic groups operating in Syria to topple Assad “want to create a caliphate and extend it to the entire Middle East and North Africa.”

In a number of news appearances, both Quirico and Piccinin shared stories of how they were subjected to two mock executions, beaten, and starved during their five-month captivity.

"These have been very tough months. We were beaten on a daily basis, we suffered two mock executions," Quirico told reporters upon his arrival in Rome, AFP reported.

"There was sometimes real violence...humiliation, bullying, mock executions...Domenico faced two mock executions, with a revolver," Piccinin told RTL.

Both men were kidnapped in Syria last April by a group of armed men in pickup trucks who were believed to be from Free Syrian Army.

According to Piccinin, the captors soon transferred them over to the Abu Ammar brigade, a rebel group "more bandit than Islamist."

"We were moved around a lot...it was not always the same group that held us, there were very violent groups, very anti-West and some anti-Christian," Piccinin said.

Both men tried to escape twice but their attempts were unsuccessful, prompting the rebel group to punish them for their actions.

The Italian government announced on Sunday that both men had been freed after Rome intensified negotiations with the rebels for the release of the prisoners ahead of an anticipated US strike on Syria.
Another 13 journalists are still believed to be missing in Syria, according to Reporters Without Borders.
