    Aramu MuruDoorway in PeruKanook Nov, 2009

    Located within the Hayu Marca mountain region some 35 kMs [21.75 miles] fromthe city of Puno [west side of Lake Titicaca] and a bit northwest of Chucuito, Peru a

    mysterious giant stone sculpture is located. Cut into this stone sculpture is a

    doorway, cut out of a squarish flat cliff outcropping, the locals call the entire

    assembly the Place of the Gods internationally it is known as the Doorway of

    Aramu Muru. Inca legends speak of it as the place that life was first created on

    Earth.

    Legends run strong today in the remote regions of our Blue Marble, the local

    inhabitants of this area claim that people have disappeared and reappeared near

    the door, while even today many refuse to get close to the door claiming it is a

    portal for the ancient gods. Some of the older inhabitants have told stories of tallmen accompanied by glowing balls of light walking through the portal.

    The door labeled the Puerta de Hayu Marca [Gate of the gods/spirits] appears

    to have been carved out of the natural rock face, the face is measured at 7 meters

    [23 feet] in height by 7 meters in width with a small alcove in the center of the base

    which measures just under 2 meters [6 6] in height.

    In the early 1990s, a local mountaineering guide Jose Luis Delgado Mamani

    stumbled across the structure while searching for new locations to take his paying

    tourists.

    Inca legends state that in the distant past great heroes have gone to join their

    gods through the doorway, and that some have returned from time-to-time toinspect the progress of the population they left behind. One legend repeated over

    and over again is that when the Spanish Conquistadors arrived in Peru, looting the

    gold and precious stones, one Inca priest of the Temple of Seven Rays or Aramu

    Maru fled into the mountains with a sacred disk known as the Key of the Gods of

    the Seven Rays. Hiding in the mountains of Hayu Marca he eventually came upon

    the doorway, which was guarded by some shaman priests. Handing them the Key

    of the Gods they performed a ritual, and when they had finished they took the

    Key of the Gods and opened the portal in the glow of a blue light the priest

    passed through the portal and was never seen again.

    Archeologists, it is written, have discovered a small circular depression on the

    right hand side of the small entrance, postulating that a small disk could be placed

    and secured by the rock.

    The Doorway of Aramu Muru is just one small part of the Inca Empire, a mystery

    in itself with fragments, albeit they are impressive are scattered throughout the

    Peruvian Andes. It is written that Lake Titicaca is the cradle of the Inca Civilization.

    The lake itself is over 12,500 feet above sea level and is reported as the highest

    navigable lake in the world, it is 122 miles long with an average width of 35 miles

    and extends from southeastern Peru to western Bolivia and due to its size during

    the seasonal storms waves of pretty good height smash against its shoreline, and

    the waters are pretty cold, understantable at its height above sea-level.

    Most access the lake through Puno, the capital of Perus altiplano1 which is the

    folklore center and the established gateway to the lake.

    According to Inca mysthology, Manco Capac and Mama Ocllo (Mama Huaca)

    emerged from the depths of the lake on the sacred rock gate on Isla Del Sol and

    founded the Inca Empire, a neighboring sister island Isla de la Luna is another

    holy place where a convent Virgins of the Sun is located. As a matter of record,

    the entire lake was/is a holy place, which again according to legend when the

    Spanish reached Cuzco, the Inca took a two-ton gold chain of Inca Huascar from the

    temple at Koricancha and threw it into the lake it has never been found. Jacques

    Cousteau mounted an expedition some years back and surveyed the lakes bottom

    in a mini-submarine. In 2000 an international scientific expedition discovered a

    possible city under the waters of the lake.

    1 The Altiplano is an area of inland drainage lying in the central Andes, occupying parts ofChile,Argentina, Bolivia, Peru and Ecuador. Its height averages about 3,750 meters (12,300 feet) [1],slightly less than that of Tibet. Unlike the Tibetan Plateau, however, the Altiplano is dominatedby massive active volcanoes of the Central Volcanic Zone to the west. The Atacama Desert, oneof the driest areas on the whole planet, lies to the southwest of the Altiplano. In contrast, to the

    east lies the humid Amazon Rainforest.

    Lake Titicaca from the Bolivian Side

    BBC News made an

    of the finding of the ancient city under the lake, whereas the expedition had found a

    terrace for crops, a long road and a 2,600 foot long wall, they calculated its date

    back some 1,000 to 1,500 years and that they were pre-Inca. The ruins have been

    attributed to the indigenous Tiwanaku or Tiahuanaco people. They also found a

    temple site that measured some 660 feet by 160 feet, twice the size of a football

    field.

    The underwater ruins were found near the Holy City of Copacabana

    As a student of history, myths and all, I find this evidence of an underwater ruin

    supporting the myths of Atlantic, Mu and Lemuria supposedly great island

    civilizations that once existed before disappearing under the sea after some pretty

    cataclysmic events. Contemporary historical records and our religious beliefs shun

    any such myths, but as I have mentioned a time or two previous myths are more

    often than not a record of our pre-history. As for finding no evidence beneath the

    soil or carved on rock in some remote location, I watched last summer a series onthe Discovery Channel that time-lapsed our civilization forward to give us a look at

    the world that might be if no humans were around, as if a great cataclysmic event

    had befallen our civilization..in less than 10,000 years hardly a trace of our

    freeways, great steel structures or concrete monuments would be found. The Blue

    Marble we live on had reclaimed the surface and if anyone was wandering around

    they would begin all over again.

    Lake Titicaca, we see, hides a submerged stone causeway and a few other relics

    that provides us with evidence that port city once existed there and in the

    surround area is found ancient terraced corn fields that are a bit high in elevation to

    support corn.

    In 2000, again, a discovery off the coast of Cuba was found the remains of what

    appears to have been a great city, with roads, bridges, buildings and even pyramids

    all located about 2,100 feet under the Atlantic Ocean verified by a Canadian

    exploration company in 2001 the city is believed to be older than the great

    pyramids of Giza. In 1995, another submerged city was found in 100 feet of water

    off the south shore of Okinawa where at the time five large stone structures were

    found, linked by paved streets and crossroads, huge altar-like formations, grand

    staircases leading to broad plazas and large as 240 feet in length. Not

    entranceways or chambers have yet been found.

    Another mythical city has been discovered off the coast of Mamallapuram,

    India2 under about 7-meters [23 feet] under the Indian Ocean the people of India

    share a myth about large areas of the country, including a great city that was

    inundated by the sea. Albeit the ruins are eroded, it is clear thea the walls, stepsand stone blocks were placed by man.

    In addition, a team of archaeologists, geologists and engineers discovered a land

    mass3, now under the North Sea than once linked Britain to Northern Europe,

    complete with a river as wide as the Thames, it is surmised that it slipped beneath

    the waves some 8,000 to 10,000 years ago.

    Thank you Conquistadors, in the name of gold and Christianity they effectively

    wiped out the Inca civilization. As the

    Inca Empire slowly crumbled survivors

    from Cuzco took what they could carry

    and headed south into the rainforests

    where they existed until 35 years later

    the Spanish finally found them and

    finished their handiwork death and

    destruction.

    They fled to the Lost City of the Incas

    Vilcabamba la Vieja, which was found in

    1892 by Manuel Ugarte, Manuel Lopez

    Torres and Juan Cancio Saavedra deep in

    a remote rainforest some 81 miles west of Cuzco in an area labeled Espiritu

    Pampa, after the Empire fell the city was burned and the region quickly returned to

    its natural state.Until recently, Vilcabamba played 2nd fiddle to Machu Picchu, which was believed

    to be the last refuge of the Incanot so, it has been established over the years that

    Vilcabamba has the honors of being the last refuge of the once proud and

    progressive Inca.

    2According to descriptions by early travel writers from Britain, the area near Mahabalipuram had

    seven pagodas by the sea. Accounts of Mahabalipuram were first written down by British traveller JohnGoldingham who was told of the "Seven Pagodas" when he visited in 1798.(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mamallapuram )An ancient port city and parts of a temple built in the 7th century may have been uncovered by the

    tsunamithat resulted from the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake. As the waves gradually receded, theforce of the water removed sand deposits that had covered various rocky structures and revealedcarvings of animals, which included an elaborately carved head of an elephant and a horse in flight. Asmall square-shaped niche with a carved statue of a deity could be seen above the head of theelephant. In another structure, there was a sculpture of a reclining lion. The use of these animalsculptures as decorations is consistent with other decorated walls and temples from the Pallava periodin the 7th and 8th centuries.TheArchaeological Survey of India sent divers to begin underwater excavations of the area on 17February 2005.

    99% of the modern world scoffs North and South America reference and use of

    Shamans, whereas the European when he invaded the Pacific Northwest banned

    their practice and made the Native Medicine man shave his face and cut his hair, an

    act of reducing his power, kind of like Samson cutting his hair.

    The Inca are reported to have had some pretty powerful shamans, back in 1949

    Dr Alberto Villoldo after a powerful earthquake discovered under monastery nearCuzco an ancient temple of god, which was foretold by the prophecies of Mosoq a

    shaman of previous times.

    Dr Villoldo, a psychologist and medicinal anthropologist has lived among and

    trained with the Qero shamans, and has worked hard in bringing their ritual and

    prophecy roles to the awareness of the modern world. The Qero are the last of the

    Inca, a small tribe of 600 or more who ran to the hills and now live some 14,000 feet

    above sea-level, to escape the conquering conquistadors.

    For over 500 years the Qero elders have preserved their sacred prophecy of a

    great change coming down the road, a change (parchacuti) where the world would

    be turned right-side-up, harmony and order would be restored and chaos and

    disorder would once again reign supreme. Keep in mind that the Qero have lived in

    their villages high in the Andes in virtual solitude until their discovery in 1949 in

    that year an anthropologist Oscar Nunez del Prado was at a festival in Paucartambo

    in southern Peru, when he chanced on meeting two Indians speaking fluent Quecha,

    the language of the Inca. Following in 1955 the first expedition to the Qero villages

    occurred.

    In 1959 at the annual Feast of The Return of the Pleiades in the Andes, the

    gathering of over 70,000 pilgrims from South America were awed when a group of

    Qera (unannounced) wearing the Inca emblem of the sun walked through the

    parted crowd to the mountain top to make known that the time of the prophecieswas at hand. In unison the crowd responded back, Weve been waiting for you for

    500 years!

    According to ancient prophecy, now is

    the time of the great gathering, the

    mastay and the reintegration of the

    peoples of the four directions. The

    Shamans are teaching their ways to the

    West, this in preparation for the day the

    Eagle of the North and the Condor of the

    South fly once again together. Their beliefis that Munay (love and compassion) will

    once again be the gathering force that

    brings all people together and that the new

    caretakers of the Earth will hail from the West, and that those who have made the

    greatest impact of this Blue Marble will have the moral responsibility to remake

    their relationship with our planet.

    According to a master Qero shaman, Don Antonio Morales, the North Americans

    will supply the physical strength or body of the marriage, while Europe will supply

    the mental or head, and the heart will be supplied by the people of South America.

    Albeit the prophecies refer to the end-of-time as we know it and the death of a

    way of thinking and a way of being, they are optimistic, in that as of now are way of

    thinking is not doing our planet too much good.They expect the world to emerge into a golden age, in other words a golden

    millennium of peace, some tremendous changes happening in our psyche

    redefining our relationships and our overall spirituality it seems that our

    civilization has just about tipped the scales towards any kind of change and they

    might be correct in stating a great change is coming, we can only hope it is for the

    better.

    They also speak to a long-period of chaos and upheaval, showing as an apparent

    massive change in our European style civilization which is on its way to a collapse

    and a return to the people of the Earth they also predict a real tear in the fabric of

    time itself, which in their opinion will give us an opportunity to describe ourselves

    not as who we have been in the past but as to what we have the chance to become.

    For them the next Pachacuti is a spiritual prototype, a master, a luminous one

    who stepped outside of time, described as a Messiah, but not in the Christian sense,

    and will not be out of reach of mankind rather being a symbol and promise of who

    we might all become!

    The prophecies of the Pachacuti are known throughout the Andes, and there

    are some who believe the prophecies refer to the return of the leader Pachacuti to

    engage with the ones who took their land and defeat them, but according to others

    Pachacuti is the return of thinking and beliefs on a collective level, whereas Its

    not the return of a single individual who embodies what were becoming, but a

    process of emergence available to all people.Today the Qero believe the doorways between the worlds are opening again,

    where there are holes in time that we can step through and explore our human

    capabilities recapturing our luminous human nature, that is if youre willing to take

    the chance and leap through.

    Most present day Andean Shamans say, Follow your own footsteps. Learn from

    the rivers, the trees and the rocks. Honor the Christ, the Buddha, and your brothers

    and sisters. Honor the Earth Mother and the Great Spirit. Honor yourself and all of

    creation.

    It just might be that doorway high in the mountains northwest of Puno that has

    no known maker might be tied to somewhere else.
