Chapter 606: The Patron Saint Worshipped by the Incas

First Sun Age.

Before 1500 BC, the Olmecs were the overlords of Central America, and Tezcatlipoca, the god of thunder worshipped by the Olmecs, was the king of gods in Central America.

Second Sun Age.

After 1500 BC, the Mayans began to become the overlords of Central America, and Quetzalcoatl, worshipped by the Mayans, became the king of gods in Central America.

In the Third and Fourth Sun Ages, the Mayans and Olmecs fought a war that lasted for thousands of years.

The existence of the Isthmus of Panama meant that the Mayans did not need to face threats from the south.

The Olmecs had to compete for living space with the tribes that moved south from the north, so Quetzalcoatl eventually won the battle of gods with Tezcatlipoca.

Fifth Sun Age.

After 1400 AD, the Aztecs established the Aztec Empire and dominated Central America, and Huitzilopochtli, worshipped by the Aztecs, became the king of gods.

While the northern part of the Isthmus of Panama was undergoing the historical evolution of the Five Sun Ages, the northern part of South America in the southern part of the Isthmus of Panama was also nurturing a new civilization.

South America was inhabited in 8000 BC, and entered the agricultural era from 2000 BC to 1000 BC, with a series of brilliant human civilizations emerging.

In the 10th century AD, the Inca tribe, led by the first Inca king Manco Capac, began to migrate northward, and in 1243 occupied the area of ​​Cusco, Peru, and the fifth Inca king announced that the capital would be established here.

After more than three centuries of expansion, the Inca Empire became the largest empire in the entire Americas.

It is now 1596 BC, and there are still 2,600 years before the rise of the Incas.

At this time, the Incas were just a small tribe that worshipped the sun god Inti.

Inca mythology in another world regards the four sons and four daughters of the sun god as the ancestors of the Incas.

Inca means descendants of the sun.

Icona, who is honest and has the style of an elder, is the eldest son of the sun god.

Cheribia, who is kind and loving, and nurtures all beings like a mother, is the eldest daughter of the sun god.

The shepherd god Pokfu is the second son, who is in charge of the life and death of birds and beasts, reproduction, hunting and herding.

The goddess of love Tula Sotulte is the second daughter, who is in charge of the reproduction of love.

The god of wine Ometu Chitli is the third son, who is in charge of weddings, funerals, sacrifices and celebrations.

The wind god Estuyak is the third daughter, who is in charge of the prosperity and decline of flowers, plants and trees, and music and chanting.

The god of war Vitshup Chitli is the fourth son, who is in charge of hatred, killing and war.

The rain god Tlaloc is the fourth daughter, who is in charge of germination and budding, and bathing in rain, dew, frost and snow.

These eight gods are both brothers and sisters, and four couples.

It is obvious that the rain god Tlaloc is the queen of the gods in the third solar era of Mesoamerica.

The god of war Vitshup Chitli is the god of war Huitzilopochtli worshipped by the Aztecs.

The wind god Estuyak and the earth goddess Chilibia are also the identities of the earth goddess Quetzalcoatl in Inca mythology.

In order to elevate the sun god Inti, the Incas demoted the powerful gods of the north to the children of the sun god Inti.

This also proves that the Incas, who claimed to be the descendants of the sun god, originally worshipped the sun god as their patron god.

In later Inca mythology, Viracocha became the king of gods in Inca mythology.

But Viracocha's identity is likely to be a deified human.

The most important thing about the existing legends about Viracocha is his dealings with the Chanka people.

But there are completely different versions of the legends in this regard.

One version is that the Chanka people became active in the early days of Viracocha's reign, first occupying Antawaila of the Inca Empire, and then in Viracocha's later years, the Chanka people attacked Cusco, and Viracocha did not resist, and abandoned the capital and fled with the crown prince.

When the capital was in danger, another prince of Viracocha, Pachacutec, led his troops to defeat the enemy in time, annihilated the Chanka generals, deposed Viracocha, and established himself as king.

[Inca Royal Review] recorded another completely opposite statement, saying that during his exile, Viracocha reported the gods' dream to his father, Yahual Huaca, and gave advice, but it was not accepted.

When the rebels led by the Chanka came to Cusco, Yahual Huaca abandoned the city and fled, while Viracocha summoned the army and civilians to defend the capital, and finally defeated the rebels and surrendered.

After that, Viracocha was deeply recognized for his contributions to defending the country, so he deposed his father and established himself as king.

[Inca Royal Review] also mentioned that Viracocha's reign was generally smooth, saying that he had built temples to worship the god [Viracocha], expanded territory, built canals to irrigate pastures, and toured the country, gaining a prominent reputation until his death, when he was succeeded by Crown Prince Pachacuti.

The fact that the Incas claimed to be descendants of the sun god, rather than descendants of Viracocha, is enough to prove that Viracocha was not the original god of the Incas.

Moreover, the image of Viracocha is even a different race from the indigenous people of the New World.

In one legend, Viracocha is a tall white man whose demeanor and appearance are awe-inspiring.

Another describes him as a majestic white man with blue eyes, a beard, no hat, and a sleeveless shirt that reaches his knees.

The descriptions of this mysterious figure collected from many different ethnic groups in the Andes are quite similar to this.

The Incas in the 16th century also considered Viracocha to be white.

It was because of their legends and religious beliefs that they believed it so firmly that in 1553, when the white-skinned and bearded Spaniards landed on their beaches, they initially thought that Viracocha had returned with his half-god and half-human subordinates.

The New World entered the Bronze Civilization around the 11th century AD.

And it was centered on the Inca Empire.

Viracocha was probably a white man from the Old World who came to the New World from the Old World by chance.

Because the Old World was already in the late Iron Age, Viracocha was worshipped as a god by the Incas just for leading the Incas into the Bronze Age.

After Roy conquered the Aztecs, he returned to the Yucatan Peninsula and led a Mayan army of 10,000 people south to South America.

1596 BC.

October.

Puerto Juarez.

The temporary palace of the Athenian Empire.

While Roy conquered the Incas in northern South America and destroyed the sun god Inti, the world also welcomed a special life.

The bedroom of Philomela.

Under the care of a group of palace maids, Philomela gave birth to a daughter.

Orinoco Plains east of the Andes Mountains.

Roy personally fought with Inti, the sun god who protected the Inca tribe. After destroying Inti by using an elephant to crush an ant, a special feeling made Roy look towards the north involuntarily.

This strange and special feeling made Roy instinctively understand that there was a person with blood connected to him in this world.

"Philomela gave birth to my child--"

Looking up at the sun in the sky, Roy couldn't help laughing.

"The sun that shines on the New World is born! The name of this child is Icarus."

Roy's god name is Phaethon, the sun god who destroyed himself because of reckless driving of the sun god chariot.

Icarus also drowned in the sea because of reckless approach to the sun, causing the high temperature of the sun to melt the sticky wax on his wings.

Phaethon, the sun god who recklessly drove the sun god chariot, should of course have a daughter who recklessly approached the sun and destroyed himself.
