When Lemurians realized their land would disappear, in their desperate attempts to preserve knowledge, they carried records and artifacts to the east to South America, and to the west to India and Tibet. Those who went to Peru were especially successful at saving the valuable information, for they moved far inland to secluded areas in the mountains where their descendants avoided contact with contemporary civilization.

In addition to precious knowledge, priests carried their valuable and unusual Golden Disc of the Sun to South America. Since the dim past, the disc had rested on an altar in the Temple of Divine Light in the Motherland of Mu. Symbolizing the Great Cosmic Sun or Creator, in addition to serving as a focal point of concentration during meditation, the disc had other, more remarkable functions. When combined with certain gold mirrors, lenses, and reflectors, it was capable of producing a light that healed, and when it was struck by a priest-scientist who understood its operation, it gave off extremely powerful vibrations.122

When they reached South America, the Lemurians took their precious Golden Disc to the Monastery of the Brotherhood of the Seven Rays at Lake Titicaca, where the native Quechua guarded it. After a long period of time the Inca arrived in South America, and when they were advanced enough to use the Lemurian disc for the benefit of others, the Quechua took it to them. The Inca hung the valuable object in the Temple of the Sun in Cuzco using ropes of gold. The holes for the ropes are still visible at the Convent of Santo Domingo, which is built on top of the ancient Inca Sun Temple. When Pizzaro and his soldiers arrived in Peru, the Quechua quickly removed the Golden Disc and carried it from Cuzco to a secret hiding place, either in the Andes or at Lake Titicaca. A group has recently organized to search for the Golden Disc of the Sun.123

I believe a branch of an ancient brotherhood from the Andes is reenacting spiritual practices once used in Lemuria.

A Peruvian wise man, Anton Ponce de Leon Paiva, has emerged from deep in the Andes to bring secret teachings and the true history of the past to the outside world. In In Search of the Wise One, Anton tells us that as a young man he was blindfolded and taken to a hidden village where the Quechua, predecessors of the Inca, have secretly guarded information from their ancestors for hundreds of years. While he was in the village, Anton was initiated into the Brotherhood of the Sun, a South American branch of the White Brotherhood, which has existed since the time of Lemuria. Near Cuzco, Peru, Anton established a center that gives a spiritual ceremony venerating sacred geometry and offers additional spiritual information from Lemuria.

We came from the old, red land when the fire god crawled out of the caverns, and thrust his long tongue through the sea, for in this land the earth walked, and the sea came up in mountainous waves and covered the smoking, burning temples. We came in ships, sailing to the high mountains of the southern snows.

After leaving Atlantis, Asa Delugio says his ancestors found temporary shelter in immense, ancient tunnels in the high South American mountains. Eventually savage warriors forced Asa Delugio’s predecessors to move northward through underground passages to Central America, where the families wandered with their seeds and fruit plants for many years before finally settling in Arizona. The Sioux apparently followed a similar route to reach North America. Years later when Sioux Chief Shooting-Star made a trip to the high Andes, the Peruvians welcomed him with their ancient private sign, which was identical to the greeting sign of the Sioux. Shooting-Star suddenly realized that his ancestors also journeyed to their present homeland by way of South America.125

Asa Delugio’s description of underground tunnels in South America correlates with numerous reports from early Spaniards, native people, and adventuresome explorers. Some accounts describe a network that at one time made it possible to travel underground for 400 miles from Cuzco in Peru to Tiahuanaco in Bolivia. Radar images have recently confirmed the presence of what appear to be ancient rooms and tunnels 100 meters below the city of Cuzco. One tunnel links the Temple of the Sun with five other Inca buildings in Cuzco that are in perfect astronomical alignment. A seven-foot doorway to the underground areas offers access to a passageway that leads to the archaeological site of Sacsayhuaman, a former Inca fortress on a hilltop above Cuzco. It is said that Incas in Cuzco fled from the Spanish through a tunnel that took them to the forests and mountains east of Cuzco, possibly to their lost city of Gran Paititi that lies in that direction.

In 1923 the Peruvian government sent a group from Lima University to explore the mysterious network. They used an entrance at Cuzco as their starting point. After a few days the members of the expedition who were on the outside lost touch with those who had gone in, and all was quiet. Twelve long days later, one starving man emerged. He reported confusing labyrinths and trapezoid-shaped, dark passagways.126 Stories say that one of the tunnels from Cuzco leads to a royal tomb where carved stone slabs pivot and turn so suddenly that potential robbers are trapped.127 This may be what happened to some of the numerous curious people who disappeared in the passageways before officials closed the entrances at Sacsayhuaman and Cuzco in 1923.

Ancient South American tunnels are visible in other areas. In 1972 a severe earthquake in Lima, Peru, exposed long underground passages that seem to lead to the mountains in the east. It was impossible to travel in them, for they were in very poor condition after such a long period of time. At the ruins of Samaipata in eastern Bolivia there is an entrance to an unexplored, manmade tunnel. The passageway leads to the northwest, probably to a mountain about fifteen kilometers away, and possibly farther.128

Situated on a mountaintop many miles west of Sao Paulo in Brazil, the tourist town of Sao Tome das Letras features an elaborate manmade tunnel that is a real engineering feat. Carved out of dirt, it is at least seven feet high and sufficiently wide for a person to travel easily. Members of the Brazilian army once attempted to explore the passageway. After four days underground they came to a room with openings for three tunnels, plus the one they used to reach the room. After exploring for some time from the room, they gave up and returned to the surface. A man who lives in the town of Sao Tome das Letras says he knows the tunnel and that one section of it goes all the way to Machu Picchu in the Peruvian Andes.129

In a reading he gave to a client, who was once a girl named Amammia living on this continent around 10,000 b.c., Edgar Cayce offers an example of an Atlantean who went to South America. Amammia was a follower of the Law of One, but when she traveled to Peru she fell in love with material things, especially the abundant gold. Amammia hoarded her wealth, aspired to power over the minds of others, and focused on beautifying her physical appearance. Cayce told his client that as a result of her experiences in that past life, she was fearful of people who focused on material objects rather than the spiritual.130

Explorers encountered the strange white-skinned Paria, with fair hair and blue eyes, who lived in the village of Atlan in the virgin forests between the Apure and Orinoco Rivers in Venezuela. The Paria may be descendants of Atlanteans who went to South America and remained there, for they told the adventurers that their distant ancestors were a noble and prosperous race who lived on a huge island in the ocean, which a catastrophe destroyed. When nearby Venezuelan natives learned about the Paria females with the curious white skin, they captured the women and used them as concubines. In the sixteenth century, the Spaniards found harems of white Paria women, some of whom were blind from being kept in semidarkness.131 In the future, translations of monoliths in Venezuelan jungles that are covered with hieroglyphs and strange carvings may offer further information about these early settlers.

Intriguing reports of banderistas, missionaries, and natives depict elaborate ruins deep in the Amazon jungles of Brazil, near which lived “strange white Indians” with beards.132 Whispered stories tell of the remains of large cities like El Dorado, whose tumbled stones are overgrown with dense vines and trees. Tales portray white and gold metal and even gold ingots and beautiful jewels that the inhabitants left behind in El Dorado as they hurriedly left their homes. Inspired by these accounts, intrepid explorers have coped with and often succumbed to malaria and other deadly diseases, snakes, dangerous swamps, and ferocious unfriendly natives as they search in vain. British Colonel Percy W. Fawcett spent nineteen years attempting to find ruins which he believed were once Atlantean cities. These cities were said to have stones on tall pillars that glowed at night from sun power stored in underground reservoirs. Fawcett reported that he did successfully reach his goal. But he never returned.133 Ten years later, his wife hired Geraldine Cummins, a medium, who successfully contacted Fawcett. He communiated he was not dead, but in a semiconscious state in the South American jungle—a prisoner in a small village.

A more tangible account of the riches available in South America concerns Italian Father Carlo Crespi, whom the Vatican sent to a remote area of Ecuador in the mid-twentieth century. After he became friends with the natives, they brought Father Crespi objects of gold, silver, and precious stones which they said were hidden in a mountain cave at the time of Pizarro. These included several crowns of gold and one very unusual copper crown that was much too large for a normal-size person. Crespi gradually accumulated silver plates with hieroglyphic-type writing on them; an elephant tusk carved with figures and designs in the Chinese style; unusual metal and stone sculptures; long platinum wands, one of which was surrounded by entwined serpents (caduceus); and many additional treasures. Father Crespi, perhaps from conversations with the natives, came to believe that Atlanteans and Lemurians brought the treasures from their countries when it was sinking. This was the only explanation for the sophisticated techniques involved in their production.

With the permission of the Vatican, Crespi built a museum to house his valuables. In 1960, it was one of the largest collections of artifacts in Ecuador and he was recognized as an archaeological authority. In 1962, someone set fire to his extraordinary museum and it burned to the ground. Father Crespi managed to save a few articles, which he stored in two long, narrow rooms, but they remained in total disarray, for he was too elderly to care for them. The photographs Bob Brush and a friend took when they visited Father Crespi in the early 1970s are the only evidence of these priceless artifacts from the past. David Childress searched for them in vain in 1991, but Father Crespi had died and nothing remained. Childress could find no one at the site who would even admit that they ever existed.

In 1532, Pizarro, the Spanish conqueror of the Incas, captured Inca King Atahualpa and held him hostage. Pizarro told the natives that he would not release Atahualpa until they filled the room in which he was holding the captive with gold as high as King Atahualpa could reach. To meet his demands the Incas loaded sturdy donkeys with precious objects and began to carry them to Pizarro. Pizarro rejected anything that wasn’t gold, and when the room was only half full, he killed his hostage. When this terrible news reached the pack trains that were on their way to Pizarro to save Atahualpa, they quickly turned around. Eventually the natives hid their cherished cargoes in secret caves. Crespi believed the priceless gifts the natives brought him were part of the treasures that were once on the way to Pizarro.

In numerous readings, Edgar Cayce refers to people bringing culture and civilization from Lemuria and Atlantis to the American continent. In their new locations the immigrants served as priestesses and healers, developed agriculture, built temples and lengthy walls for protection from the sea, preserved information, worked with young people, improved the relationship of individuals to each other, and promoted profound respect for the natural environment. For thousands of years, Native Americans preserved this knowledge. As they become confident that their information will be treated with respect, they will continue to share it with others. To understand their distant past is to understand our own.
