The following is based upon a work by Pierre Honore an internationally known
scholar and diplomat. He was in Brazil as director of a research institute and advisor to the government, and was able
to travel extensively throughout Latin America and was thus able to examine remains of a great civilization, a study to which
he devoted more than 15 years.
"They could do practically
anything, for nothing seemed too difficult for them, they cut the greenstone, they melted gold, and all this came from Quetzalcoatl....arts
and knowledge."

The Legend of the White God
We know from ancient Indian legends that at some point shrouded in the mists of time, White men landed on the shores of the
New World, long before Columbus. Every Indian society of which we have any knowledge records this arrival and refers
to a White God who brought them their system of science, engineering, gave them their legal codes, and helped them achieve
a high level of civilization. But who was this High God?? And how did he and his relatives cross a vast unknown
ocean to arrive in a New World? From these ancient legends we learn that these White Gods arrived in huge foreign ships
with swan wings, hulls gleaming so brightly that they looked like giant serpents gliding over the water. When they reached
the shore, strange men emerged from the ships, fair skinned and blue-eyed, wearing the gowns of a coarse black material with
a circular opening at the neck and short wide sleeves. The legend
of a particular White God has also survived to our day from all the ancient civilizations of Central and South America.
The Toltecs and Aztec of Mexico called him Quetzalcoatl, the Incas called him Viracocha, to the Maya he was Kukulcan, who
brought them their laws, their script and was worshipped like a god by the people. To the Chibchas he was Bochia, the
White Mantle of Light. To those of Peru he was Hyustus, and to this day they will tell you that he was fair and had
blue eyes. According to two of the chroniclers White men with beards
turned up on the shores of Lake Titicaca, built a great city, and taught the inhabitants a more civilized way of life.
The Indians said that the White Gods built this city 2000 years before the time of the Incas.  |

  The White God had come to the Indians long ago wearing
a black beret, and a black gown, then Cortes arrived wearing both of these and landing in nearly the identical spot where
it was said that the White God had bid his farewell, with a promise to return. But Cortes came with mercenaries and
adventurers who were not interested in civilization, but booty. They wanted gold and treasures. If you enter an Indian hut in the Yucatan jungle; join elders around their
fires on the icy Bolivian plateau; talk to the Indians in the jungle on the banks of the Amazon; wherever you go you hear
this legend of the White men with beards who came in the dim past and became Gods of the New World. |
