New Legendary Discoveries about the Origin of the Incas.
Where did the Incas, the legendary sons
of the sun, come from? In captivating and enchanting
images, this film dispels this mystery. It shows us how
closely the Andean peoples feel themselves linked with
the powers of nature, with the sun and water, the
mountains, rivers and lakes. As the Indians see it, the
earth is animated, it is Pachamama, Mother Earth. Lake
Titicaca is Mamacocha, Mother Water.
Gods and spiritual beings reveal themselves in the forms
of nature, even more: everything in nature is an
expression of spiritual forces. And sometimes humans
help out a little to emphasize certain phenomena in
nature. In this sense, the legends about the origin of
the Incas are not mere myths, but rather have real
locations. They are ineluctably linked with natural
phenomena and characteristics of the landscape. Two
Peruvian explorers, the brothers Fernando and Edgar
Elorrieta Salazar, have impressively found the way to
read these signs of nature and the related works of
humans and have thus managed to unravel the secret of
the Incas.
