THE LATEST STUDIES REVEAL THAT THE PARACAS CANDELABRA IS THE LIGHTNING ROD OF THE INCA GOD VIRACOCHA

paracas candelabra inca god viracochaAccording to the latest studies published on the Paracas Candelabra, it seems that this magnificent and mysterious achievement of our ancestors is a representation of the lightning rod of the Inca god Viracocha.

Located on the Paracas Peninsula in Peru, the Paracas Candelabra is one of the archaeological wonders of mankind, due to its size and construction method, but also because very little is known about how it appeared, construction method, and purpose.

This geoglyph (a geoglyph is a large design or motif, generally longer than 4 meters, produced on the ground by durable elements of the landscape, such as stones, stone fragments, gravel, or earth.) is 595 feet high (180 meters ) and can be seen from 12 miles (19 kilometers) from the sea.

Shaped like a candelabra, an arrow, or even a cactus, the huge geoglyph was created by digging a 60-centimeter trench flanked with rocks. One of its most bizarre properties is that, even after a sandstorm, the Paracas Candelabra rebuilds itself, returning to the shape its ancient builders gave it.

Who built this megastructure?

As for the builders of the candelabra, opinions are divided.

Fragments of pottery were found in the area, which were dated around 200 B.H., a fact that made the authorship of the construction to be attributed to the strange Paracas culture, characterized by artificially elongated heads.

But other historians, taking into account the fact that this culture occupied areas that had been inhabited before their arrival, tend to consider that the structure is much older, but not being able to specify who made it.

The purpose and significance of the Paracas Candelabra

Like its builders, the purpose for which this huge sign was made, but also its meaning, raises a lively debate in the academic world.

The first description of the structure is made by the conquistadors, who saw in it the representation of the Holy Trinity, taking it as a sign that they must conquer and Christianize the locals.

Beltrán García, a renowned Peruvian writer and historian, said of the Candelabra that it is “a gigantic and precise seismograph, able to register telluric waves and seismic shocks coming not only from Peru, but from all over the planet.”

On the other hand, another theory based on the fact that the Paracas peninsula was a very frequented point by sailors, advances the hypothesis that it is simply a sign to help navigation, a kind of lighthouse without light.

Finally, modern archaeologists believe that the hieroglyph is a lightning rod of the Inca god Viracocha, the creator god in the Inca tradition.

Even though it will never be known for sure who created it, when and for what purpose, the Paracas Candelabra continues to amaze us with its size and intrigue us about its meanings.
