SACSAYHUAMAN,PERU,present day
A ruined city.No one from any of the ages known to us ever saw Sacsayhuaman when it was not in ruins.
A fantastic fortress bulit with monolithic rocks weighing more than 100 tons each and having terrace walls 1500 ft. long and 54 ft wide.
The mind boggles when one tries to comprehend these facts.But what will take one's breath away is a little distance away from the fortress.Here we are confronted with a block with an estimated weight of 20,000 tons.This single stone block is the size of a four-storey house and is impeccably dressed in the most craftmanslike way.To make the solution of the puzzle even more difficult the whole monstrous block stands on its head.
Who can imagine that human hands and human endeavour excavated, transported and dressed this block? What power overturned it? What titanic forces were at work here? Its a pity, one thinks, that the technology of these peoples is lost forever.
BUT IS IT?
What one dosent realise, or dosent want to realise is that this city was built, when humans everywhere else were still in caves, by the most advanced peoples the world will ever see, and with the aid of extra-terrestrial intelligence.They dealt with aliens like a nation today deals with another.They traded materials and exchanged technologies.In gratitude for their aid, the people of Sacsayhuaman regarded the aliens as gods.This is why archaeologists today find Sacsayhuaman and the neighbouring towns like Tiahuanaco filled with gigantic buildings inscribed with images of "gods" in flying chariots and dressed in what even a layman would describe as a space-suit.Its a pity these "archaeologists" chooses to close their mind to the truth.But mankind would pay dearly for their closed-mindedness.
The gods had built the first airfield in the history of the world for their use, not far from Sacsayhuaman.The airfield was located in the Palpa valley in the ancient city of Nazca, high in the Peruvian Andes.An aerial view of the valley shows gigantic lines, laid out geometrically,some of which run parallel and some of which intersect.
The archaeologists call them ancient roads.How preposterous!
But something went wrong in the ancient city of Sacsayhuaman.The gods stopped coming.The people's anxiety grew with each passing year that the gods did not show up.The temples were crowded and the priests called for greater piety and sacrifice from the people.But the gods still did not come.But what came was a message from them.It said that the "gods" would appear in exactly ten thousand years.The people were disheartened.They couldnt wait that long.And Sacsayhuaman fell into decay soon after.The sad people abandoned their glorious city and dispersed, and soon died out.
All but one, that is.A priest decided that it would be worth the wait to show his descendants the splendour of the gods.And belonging to the most empowered caste of the city, he had access to all the technology and knowledge of the gods.And he passed them on to his only son.
And so it continued, long after the rest of his peoples had died out.
Soon the rest of mankind emerged from its sleep and began to conquer the world.But it would never see the glories of Sacsayhuaman other than in a state of decay.
LIMA, PERU,present day
Pablo was one of the leading astronomers of Peru.He was also rich, way richer than one expect his job to make him.This perplexed the authorities, and they were dissatisfied with his his explanation that he had inherited his wealth.But it was true.
He owned an observatory high in the andes mountains above Cuzco, not far from Sacsayhuaman.It was equipped with the most advanced instruments money can buy.But money cant buy everything.The USA, and a few EU nations owned some highly advanced microwave radio satellite telescopes.These were not for sale,however, as they can be used for spying and related activities.Having unsuccesfully pleaded for their purchase through the Peruvian government, Pablo proceeded to visit these countries and plead personally for them.After visiting the capitals of all the countries owning them, he returned angrily to Peru.They had refused to sell it.
Immediately after his return, these cities were struck by the deadliest earthquakes ever known to strike.
Pablo's anxiety and frustration increased in the coming months.He scanned the heavens like a madman, without rest for days on end.
These months also saw a tremendous, unnatural increase in the number and intensity of natural disasters in the various parts of the world.
Then one fine day, he abandoned whatever he had been doing and went to Nazca.And there he waited patiently.
The day was a special one.It was the day the gods had promised the people of Sacsayhuaman that they would return.And Pablo, descendant of the high priest of Sacsayhuaman waited for them.
The gods never did come that day.And Pablo knew that it was futile to wait any longer, for the gods would never make a promise they couldnt keep unless something had gone horribly wrong in their scheme.The frustration of a countless generations enveloped him.All the hardships endured by his forefathers in preserving and propagating the power and technology of Sacsayhuaman had now gone in vain.
Because of his lineage, the ancient power that had moved the monoliths flowed through him.And when angry, he couldnt help using it.
Pablo was very angry now.He was so angry he wanted to end his life, and take as many other men with him as possible.
The earth shook and waves of energy radiated through the ground from where he stood.
Nothing ever grew in that place again, and a desert drier than the Atacama was born.
