Apparently Cortez was all white and bearded, just like this god was supposed to look. It freaked everyone out and put them at a huge psychological disadvantage.

The point is, I'm a total geek who's writing a paper on the Aztecs right now.

Hey, you should read up on the Incas of Peru. Turns out they had a white-skinned, bearded god-type guy, who taught them a lot of things like architechture, etc, who also disappeared into the sea, who also vowed to return...the same thing happenned with them when the Spanish came. I've been reading this book, Fingerprints of the Gods, which points out some crazy parallels in ancient civilizations.Apparently Quetzalcoatl's name has something to do with a serpent? I don't have the book on hand, but the peruvian version's name also meant "something-serpent". The parallels are almost impossible to ignore, which is crazy because they probably never had contact with eachother back then.

fingerprints of the gods is a good book. i liked reading about the similiarites between the assyrians and the mayans (i think it was the mayans. i always get those southern civs confused :(). makes you wonder how they built machu pichu.

[candytabi]

[stringbeans]

[crookedking]

i only knew of it as a city that was built on top of a mountain by midgets that blew whistles to make stones lighter.

Yeah, next year (or maybe the next if I go to Spain first) probably I'm going to Peru I'm going to see Machu Pichu and Tiahuanaco. Soooo cool.

then you'll be able to see all those carvings of animals that have been extinct since 10 000 BC!

[prozac]

yeah and the really interesting stonework and Tiahuanaco (in bolivia) which used to be a port city but is now miles above sea level in the andes....soooo cool. And the Lines of Nazca too.

i liked the maps of the world that were brought to light in the 16th century too. weird how the north pole was mapped neatly.

Did you know that.....
666 is the symbol for the devil because in 1666 was the great fire of London and more then half the city burned down. So people associated that number with the devil.

I don't think I agree with that. Yes, that year could be associated with the devil for that reason but that can't be the only reason 666 is associated with the devil. I don't know much about Christianity, but I thought that there was something about that in the bible, which was written a long time before 1666.

13:18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a Human(s); and the number [is] Six hundred threescore [and] six - - 666.
