History / mitologia
English term or phrase: thunderbirds
The walls at Cusco are identical to the walls we can find in the base foundations of some of the Moai’s on Easter Island. And those two places are so far apart, I wonder how was it done? Either the builders traveled from one place to the other, or the builders in each culture were visited by the same teachers - the teachers from the stars, extraterrestrials.

These navels of the world might have been geodesic points, which you could use to navigate from the air. There are interesting accounts about this, for example from Apollonius, who lived in Rome in 4 AD, that he descended with Thunderbirds, that he had visited the city of the gods. There he was given talismans, which he was supposed to bury. There is a similar legend from Cusco. There the children of the sun god are supposed to have plunged a rod into the earth. And there are similar legends on Easter Island.
