Inkari

by Rom Siquijor

  The list:

  10 Seven hilled city—the Seven Hills of early Rome were the Cermalus, Cispius, Fagutal, Oppius, Palatium, Sucusa, and Velia, figuring prominently into Roman mythology, religion, and politics; the original city was held by tradition to have been founded by Romulus on the Palatine Hill (Collis Palatinus). The other six are now the Aventine (Collis Aventinus), the Capitoline (Capitolinus), the Quirinal (Quirinalis), the Viminal (Viminalis), the Esquiline (Esquilinus), and the Caelian (Caelius). The seven hills of Rome initially and traditionally, the seven hills were occupied by small settlements and not grouped or recognized as a city called “Rome”.

  1. Edessa—county of Edessa was one of the Crusader states in the

  12th century, based around a city with an ancient history and an early tradition of Christianity. The County of Edessa was different from the other Crusader states in that it was landlocked; it was remote from the other states and was not on particularly good terms with its closest neighbor, the Principality of Antioch; and half of the county, including its capital, was located to the east of the Euphrates and hence far to the east of the others. The part west of the Euphrates was controlled from the stronghold of Turbessel.

  2. Chartres Cathedral—(“Cathedral of Our Lady of Chartres,” French:

  Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Chartres), located in Chartres, about 50 miles (80 km) from Paris, is considered one of the finest examples in all France of the “Gothic” style of architecture. The cathedral is still the seat of the Diocese of Chartres, in the Roman Catholic ecclesiastical province of Tours.

  3. Holy City—Jerusalem the largest city of Israel. It concerns the areas that hold significant religious importance to any or all three monotheistic Abrahamic traditions: Judaism, Christianity and Islam.

  The Crusades were started on the pretext of recovering the Holy

  Land for the religion of the New Testament. More recently, the region is at the center of the Arab-Israeli conflict.

  4. Turks—which means “strong” in Old Turkic and usually signifying the inhabitants of Turkey or a member of the Turkish or Turkic people, a later form of “tu-kin”, name given by the Chinese to the people living south of the Altay Mountains of Central Asia as early as 177 BC. The term “Türk” or “Türük” was first used as an autonym in the Orkhon inscriptions of the Göktürks (Sky Turks) of Central Asia.

  5. Mongol—are an ethnic group that originated in what is now Mongolia,

  Russia, and China or more specifically on the Central Asian plateau north of the Gobi desert and south of Siberia.

  6. Abbey—an abbey (from the Latin abbatia, which is derived from the

  Syriac abba, “father”), is a Christian monastery or convent, under the government of an Abbot or an Abbess, who serve as the spiritual father or mother of the community.

  7. Dec. 21—marks the beginning of the winter solstice.

  1. Chachapoyas—are tribal people who had been highly evolved. They had advanced the arts of music and of dance. They built a respected culture with a great religious priesthood, and the language they spoke was not Quechua, the language spoken by Incas, but some other, unknown, language. Their vast agricultural works, their monuments, cities, and ceremonial centers all indicate high civilization.

  Chachas, whom the Incas called their “cousins,” were known to be fierce warriors. Some of them were tall and fair-skinned, with light hair and blue eyes. After the conquest, the Chacha women were sought by the Incas, and later by the Spaniards, for their beauty. The Chacha men, are masterful stone masons, were resettled by the Inca in faraway regions to build cities and administrative centers for his Empire.

  Chachapoya is a province of the Amazonas Region, Peru. The province of Chachapoyas was a part of the department of Trujillo

  (according to the supreme decree of February 12, 1821) being its capital the city of Chachapoyas.

  Explorer Gene Savoy, in his forty years of research, has documented a picture of this mysterious people far more complete than any presented before. He has, in fact, seen descendants of the Chachas in the eastern jungles, where they still live and where they may have had their origin.

  2. De javu—describes the experience of feeling that one has witnessed or experienced a new situation previously. The term was coined by a French psychic researcher, Émile Boirac (1851-1917) in his book

  L’Avenir des sciences psychiques (The Future of Psychic Sciences),

  which expanded upon an essay he wrote while an undergraduate

  French concentrator at the University of Chicago. The experience of déjà vu is usually accompanied by a compelling sense of familiarity, and also a sense of “eeriness”, “strangeness”, or “weirdness”. The

  “previous” experience is most frequently attributed to a dream, although in some cases there is a firm sense that the experience

  “genuinely happened” in the past. Déjà vu has been described as

  “Remembering the future.”

  The experience of déjà vu seems to be very common; in formal studies 70% or more of the population report having experienced it at least once. References to the experience of déjà vu are also found in literature of the past, indicating it is not a new phenomenon.

  3. Quechua—is a Native American language of South America. It was the language of the Inca Empire, and is today spoken in various dialects by some 10 million people throughout South America, including Peru and Bolivia, southern Colombia and Ecuador, north-western Argentina and northern Chile. It is the most widely spoken of all American Indian languages.

  Quechua is a very regular agglutinative language, with a normal sentence order of SOV (subject-object-verb). Its large number of suffixes changes both the overall significance of words and their subtle shades of meaning. Notable grammatical features include bipersonal conjugation (verbs agree with both subject and object),

  evidentiality (indication of the source and veracity of knowledge), a topic particle, and suffixes indicating who benefits from an action and the speaker’s attitude toward it.

  4. Amaru—snake in Quechua

  5. Tinkuy—Incan gathering

  6. Usuta—traditional shoes made of a leather or string sole, fastened about the ankle with a fine cord.

  1. Wilka Uta—also known as the Amaru Muru magic doorway or the portal of the stellar gods. This stone-etched 7 m doorway hewn in the Mountain of Hayu Marca, at the southern region of Peru, near

  Lake Titicaca, about 35 km away from Puno, and stands near the border with Bolivia was said to be the portal of the gods. There is a legend that says at the time Lemuria was sinking, one of the seven

  Great Masters of the Fraternity of the Seven Rays of Lemuria, Lord

  Aramu Muru, was given the mission to bring the sacred Golden

  Solar Disc from the Temple of Illumination to Lake Titicaca for safe keeping. During the time of the Incas, the Solar Disc was said to be transferred to Cusco, and placed it in the Quoriquoncha, the main

  Temple of the Sun, where it stayed until the coming of the Spaniards.

  At that time, it was returned to Lake Titicaca and placed in the eternal etheric city inside the Lake. In the legend of the origin Incas, this is the place from where Manco Capac and Mama Ocllo, entered the

  Earth together with the rest of their brothers and sisters.

  2. Annunakas—or Anunnaki (also transcribed as: Anunnaku, Ananaki)

  are a group of Sumerian and Akkadian deities related to, and in some cases overlapping with, the Annuna (the ‘Fifty Great Gods’)

  and the Igigi (minor gods). The name is variously written “da-nuna”,

  “da-nuna-ke-ne”, or “da-nun-na”, meaning something to the effect of

  ‘those of royal blood” or “princely offspring”.

  According to later Babylonian myth, the Anunnaki were the children
of Anu and Ki, brother and sister gods. Anshar and Kishar were the children of Lahm and Lahmu (“the muddy ones”), names given to the gatekeepers of the Abzu temple at Eridu, the site at which the Creation was thought to have occurred. The head of the

  Anunnaki council was the Great Anu, (rather than being just a sky god, Anu in Sumerian actually means “sky”), of Uruk and the other members were his offspring.

  His place was taken by Enlil, (En=lord, lil=wind,air), who at some time was thought to have separated heaven and earth. This resulted in an ongoing dispute between Enlil of Nippur and his half brother Enki of Eridu regarding the legitimacy of Enlil’s assumption of leadership. Enki, (En=lord, Ki=Earth), in addition to being the god of fresh water, was also god of wisdom and magic, regarded by some as an alchemist. When the Igigi went on strike and refused to continue to work maintaining the universe, on the Shappatu (Hebrew: Shabbat,

  Eng: Sabbath) Enki created humankind to assume responsibility for the tasks the gods no longer performed.

  The Anunnaki were the High Council of the gods, and Anu’s companions. They were distributed through the Earth and the underworld. The best known of them were Asaru, Asarualim,

  Asarualimnunna, Asaruludu, En-Ki (Ea for the Akkadians), Namru,

  Namtillaku and Tutu.

  3. Uyaca—little sticks that the Inca´s rub together to produce sparks and start fire.

  4. Quollana—excellence. In mystical training this refers to the student who keeps the teacher honest by continually pointing out inconsistencies or contradictions in their teaching. Teacher’s Pet

  Inca style.

  5. Harauec—Indian poet literally, inventor.

  6. Chicha—permented cornbeer

  1. Sirius—(Alpha Canis Majoris) is the brightest star in the night-time sky, with a visual apparent magnitude of −1.47. This binary star system consists of a white main sequence dwarf star and a faint white dwarf companion. It is located in the constellation Canis Major.

  Sirius can be seen from almost every inhabited region of the

  Earth’s surface (those living north of 73.284 degrees cannot see it)

  and, in the Northern Hemisphere, is known as a vertex of the Winter

  Triangle. The best time of year to view it is around January 1, when it reaches the meridian at midnight.

  Under the right conditions, Sirius can be observed in daylight with the naked eye. Ideally the sky must be very clear, with the observer at a high altitude, the star passing overhead, and the sun low down on the horizon.

  2. Lemurian race—Lemurian civilization cannot be accurately documented, though many have gone in quest of this mythological continent. Lost civilizations have been known to rise and fall—or just appear and disappear without explanation. As with Atlantis one can only speculate as to what happened, based on archaeological evidence, legends, theories pieced together by researchers, and for some, metaphysical channeling. The exact location of Lemuria varies with different researchers and authors, though it is part of the mysteries of the Pacific region flowing into the American continent, just as Atlantis is linked to the Atlantic land areas that stretch to the

  Mediterrean Sea. Wherever you believe the location of Lemuria to be, it is linked with the Ring of Fire. Lemuria was said to have sank into the sea.

  3. Egypt—the pyramids, Rah the Sun God.

  4. Mexico—pyramids, the legend of Kukulcan and Quetzalcoatl, the feathered-serpent gods.

  5. India—sunken pyramids, same structure as Mexican pyramids.

  6. Philippines—rice terraces at Banahaw like those at Moray in Peru.

  Also, their deity Bululs is similar to the Pachamama/Pachapapa figure in Peru which is usually male and female altogether.

  7. Tibet—ideologies, enlightenment, purification of man to achieve higher levels of consciousness.

  8. Tadpole—a tadpole (also known as a pollywog or polliwog) is a larval amphibian, the juvenile form of a frog, toad, newt, salamander, or caecilian.

  During the tadpole stage of an amphibian’s life cycle, it breathes by means of external or internal gills. It initially lacks legs and arms, and has a fin-like tail with which it swims by lateral undulation, similar to most fish. As a tadpole matures, it metamorphoses by gradually growing limbs and then (in the case of frogs) absorbing its tail by apoptosis. Lungs develop around the time of leg development, and tadpoles will often swim to the surface of the water to breath air.

  During the final stages of metamorphosis, the tadpole’s mouth must change from a small round mouth at the front of the head, to a large mouth the same width as the head. The intestine will shorten to accommodate the frog’s carnivorous diet.

  9. Incan trilogy—an icon represented by a condor on top of a puma on top of a serpent. Deciphering the icon, this represents the alignment of the Milky Way (which is shaped like a serpent biting its tail), the puma (a land creature representing the Earth), and the condor

  (representing the Sun-god Inti). Interestingly, the alignment of the

  Earth, the Sun, and the Milky Way will transpire on winter solstice of

  2012 (Dec. 21, 2012).

  10. Chuspa—purse which the Incas wore swung over their shoulder to keep their coca leaves in.

  11. Coca—is a plant in the family Erythroxylaceae, native to northwestern

  South America. The plant plays a significant role in traditional

  Andean culture, but is best-known in modern times for the stimulant drug cocaine that is extracted from its new fresh leaf tips in a similar fashion to tea bush harvesting.

  The plant resembles a blackthorn bush, and grows to a height of 2-3 m (7-10 ft). The branches are straight, and the leaves, which have a green tint, are thin, opaque, oval, more or less tapering at the extremities. A marked characteristic of the leaf is an areolated portion bounded by two longitudinal curved lines, one line on each side of the midrib, and more conspicuous on the under face of the leaf.

  12. Orthodox—Eastern Orthodox Church is a Christian body that views itself as the historical continuation of the original Christian community established by Jesus and the Twelve Apostles, preserving the traditions of the early church unchanged, accepting the canonicity of the first seven ecumenical councils held between the 4th and the 8th centuries, and maintaining the unbroken link between its clergy and the Apostles by means of Apostolic Succession.

  13. Yaweh—is the distinctive personal name of the God of Israel.

  Of all the names of God, the one which occurs most frequently in the Hebrew Bible is the Tetragrammaton, appearing 6,823 times, according to the Jewish Encyclopedia. The Biblia

  Hebraica and Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia texts of the

  Hebrew Scriptures each contain the Tetragrammaton 6,828 times.

  14. Allah—is the Arabic language word referring to “God”, “the Lord”

  and, literally according to the Qur’an, to the “God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob” in the Abrahamic religions. It does not mean “a god”, but rather “the Only True God”, the Supreme Creator of the universe, and it is the main term for the deity in Islam. However, “Allah” is not restricted to just Islam, and used by Arab Christians and Jews according to geographic region. It was used by the majority of the

  Arabs in history to refer to God.

  15. Viracocha—name of Supreme Incan God; same as Wiracocha or

  Apu Kun Ticsi Viracocha or Wiracocha

  14. Sep. 2, 1160—a total lunar eclipse occurred around 3:09 a.m.

  1. 13th Century—was that century which lasted from 1201 to 1930. In the history of European culture, this period is considered part of the High Middle Ages.

  2. King Philip of France—son of Louis VIII of France persecutor of the

  Knights of the Templars.

  3. Baphomet—is an idol or image of uncertain provenance, depi
cting a being of heretical worship. The name first came to public consciousness during the suppression of the Knights Templar. It has a seemingly goat-like head and a star on the temple.

  4. Church of Notre Dame—the modern Chartres Cathedral; (French for “Our Lady of Paris”, meaning the church in Paris dedicated to the Virgin Mary), often known simply as Notre Dame in English, is a Gothic cathedral on the eastern half of the Île de la Cité in Paris,

  France, with its main entrance to the west. A major tourist destination, it is still used as a Roman Catholic cathedral and is the seat of the

  Archbishop of Paris. Notre Dame de Paris is widely considered one of the finest examples of French Gothic architecture. Some believed that the Gargoyle displayed at the said cathedral and the Baphomet is the same.

  5. Iam Lucis Orto Sidere—or Star of Light Now Having Risen is 6th century hymn used in the Roman Breviary at the Office of Prime. In the Liturgia Horarum it is found at Thursday Lauds for the second and fourth weeks of the Psalter during Ordinary time. Taken from the

  Liturgia Horarum, translation by Alan G. McDougall (1895-1964).

  1. 14th Century—means of recording the passage of time, the 14th century was that century which lasted from 1301 to 1400.

  2. Hatun Tupac—was the eight Sapac Inca of the Kingdom of Cusco

  (beginning around 1410) and the third of the Hanan dynasty. His father was Yahuar Huacac, and his son was Pachacuti. He was later on named after the Supreme Incan God Kun Ticsi Viracocha after the latter appeared to him in his vision.

  He was involved in the final struggle between the Incas and the

  Chancas (of modern-day Apurímac, west of Cusco). Unfortunately, chroniclers differ on whether he was a hero or a coward. According to some, such as Inca Garcilaso de la Vega, his father Yahuar Huacac abandoned the capital under the attack of the Chancas; Hatun Tupac defeated the enemy and saved the city. Others, such as Pedro Cieza de León and Juan de Betanzos, claim that Hatun Tupac abandoned the city and it was his son Pachacuti who saved it.
