The Andes. Our planet possesses centers of essential vitality that are located in very specific sites. For example, in Asia there is the Himalayan Mountain Cordillera lying in the northern hemisphere and the Cordillera of the Andes in the southern hemisphere. It can be said that these represent poles of a geomagnetic axis, which due to the fundamental surge of vital energy emanating from them, spawned advanced cultures that fostered the creation of history and produced fascinating artifacts and architecture.
A diversity of peoples flourished in the Andes, which had common principles, reverence and respect for the earth and a concern, for relating to, and interacting with, nature. This was of the utmost importance in order to learn from her and thus growing and flourishing by acquiring knowledge to further develop methods required for their own welfare. After meeting their basic and immediate needs such as a sustainable, self-sufficient agriculture producing a surplus of supplies and an efficiently integrated management of their habitat, these societies launched a vigorous stage of cultural progress and development. This soon led them to discovering and rapidly mastering evolutionary stages already inherent in their biological make-ups. The most prominent among these were the talented creation of ceramics and metallurgy, which were attained at an early period. Over the course of generations, these various stages of cultural growth and expansion led the Andean people, through more than sheer default, to the discover, understand and control the surrounding habitat and their lifestyles, but also the heavens. Material growth gradually matched with an advanced understanding of the concept and principles of Being, leading to a relationship which linked them with the Cosmos.
Thus a cosmic vision was formed that acknowledged an external source or power which was substantiated by astronomical study and investigation. In turn, this cultural escalation evolved in unison with internal paths that directed the human character. The flows and tides of these thoughts formed them into wise beings, initiated in the Esoteric teachings of the Universe. Within the context of the mysterious Andes, there are new discoveries and newer developments in the research of lesser known or unrevealed aspects of Andean archaeo-astronomy. Because of the years of study and research we began to understand this cosmic relationship and witness the unique phenomena of the interaction of light and shadow, which we trust will prove worthy and useful for the work of present and future researchers. The sites and settings presented in the Andes constitute some of the most important and revered Wakas, indigenous altars and places of ceremonies, in the southern of Perú. These are centers of power of great significance, and yet are relatively unstudied and virtually unpublished in regard to aspects of icons with symbolic drawings and also astronomical evidence.
