The
Legend of the Sun God Tiki Viracocha
From the time before the Incas
reached to the domination in their kingdoms the Red Indians tell following
story:
"Throughout a long period
of time mankind was not seeing the sun.
Many supplications and proclamations were pointed to the Gods, in which
they were implored to bring back the vanishing light. As it arose from
the Island of Titicaca, which is located in the Great Lake in the province
of Colla, the Sun in its quintessential magnificence, and all were full
of pleasure.
And then, so they said, a white man of great figure appeared whose lookout
and being called forth highest enchantment.
And this man had preternatural powers then he made mountains to plains
and plains to high mountains and he allowed fountains to arise from
the elevated rocks.
When they saw his power they called him "Creator and Beginning
of all things" and "Father of the Sun". Except these
wonder acts, so it is delivered, he performed even greater, then he
evoked animals and men into existence. To say it in one word: out of
his hand were coming great benefactions. And this man took his way to
North and affected everywhere he was arriving the same miracles. But
then one didn't see him anymore.
It says that he taught mankind
how to live and that he was gently and affectionately speaking with
them and ordering them to be good, not to inflict mischief and not to
endamage anybody but to love each other and to be merciful with Everyone.
Mostly they called him Tiki Viracocha, in the province Colla he is named
Tyapaca, in other parts of the country Arnauan
"Esteem among
mankind, between the dead and the living and
concerning to the nature."
- Those were the commandments
of the Creator God Viracocha, the Creator God in human shape."
