[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 354990, member: 2844"]That is a representation of Viracocha, Tiwanaku (Tiahuanaco) culture. Viracocha was the creator God, who also created the sun, so older than the sun. Tiwanaku culture was centred on the shores of Lake Titicaca and much older than the Inca culture. This is a representation of Inti, the Inca sun God: [IMG]https://s15-us2.startpage.com/cgi-bin/serveimage?url=https%3A%2F%2Fres.cloudinary.com%2Fdk-find-out%2Fimage%2Fupload%2Fq_80%2Cw_1920%2Cf_auto%2FA-rexfeatures_3725479a_jiu86j.jpg&sp=51231874dac45941a3d57932cf6ea4c6[/IMG] The Inca culture started in Peru, and spread to Ecuador and Bolivia, so Inca history is Peruvian history. Peruvian schoolchildren are taught the names and feats of all Inca kings. I don't really see a likeness. I think the man in the crow's nest is giving his magic carpet a good shake, so it is ready for a quick getaway.;)[/QUOTE]
