Ancient Aliens in America: El Dorado | ANUNNAKI SECRETS 41

Based on the book ‘The Lost Realms’ by Zecharia Sitchin,
Inspired by the chapter titled ‘El Dorado’.

This video is about the history of El Dorado and the relentless quest for gold in the Americas, spanning various periods and cultures. It begins by exploring the history of Toledo, Spain, and its connection to significant historical events, such as the union of Ferdinand of Aragon and Isabella of Castile, the expulsion of non-converted Jews in 1492, and Christopher Columbus’s voyage.

The video details Columbus’s journey, his hidden motivations, and the consequences of his expeditions, including the belief that the Orinoco River was related to the biblical paradise. It also addresses Spanish exploration in America, highlighting Hernan Cortés’s accounts in Mexico and his interactions with the Aztec Empire, including the encounter with Moctezuma and the subsequent conquest and looting of gold.

The narrative extends to the conquest of the Inca civilization by Francisco Pizarro and the challenges encountered by the Spanish in their incursions into Peru. The video explains the ongoing fascination with El Dorado and the numerous expeditions that sought to find this mythical city of gold.

Furthermore, it explores the spiritual and cultural relationship of ancient civilizations such as the Aztecs and Incas with gold, contrasting it with the materialistic perspective of the Spanish. The video concludes by reflecting on the lasting impact of this quest for gold, both on Native American civilizations and global history.

If we observe the Anunnaki subject from a historical and mythological perspective, we can say the following: the Anunnaki are a pantheon of gods worshiped by the first civilization in world history: the Sumerians. Subsequent civilizations and empires also worshiped these gods, who were gradually replaced by other beliefs from other cultures that settled in

The region. Finally, and over time, Jewish henotheism emerged through the revelation of Yahweh, from a theological viewpoint, and the invention of Yahweh, from a historical and archaeological standpoint. However, those who dedicate themselves to studying the ancient astronaut theory carefully observe the interactions that occurred between

Different civilizations. This is because, as we have studied in previous videos, there are many similarities between different gods from different cultures. In the video series Anunnaki Secrets Revealed, I am not offering my opinion on the matter. I am just studying along with you and synthesizing the complete work of Zecharia Sitchin’s Earth

Chronicles series, chapter by chapter. Thus, without my interference in terms of my opinion, but with my interference in summarizing and explaining Sitchin’s work and research, and transforming it into a documentary video format, you can build your own opinion. According to Zecharia Sitchin’s theory, the Anunnaki not only established themselves on

Earth before the advent of human civilization. The Anunnaki are the creators of humanity, who conceived human beings and provided them with the knowledge necessary for the establishment of civilization. Moreover, according to Sitchin, the Anunnaki are also the gods of other mythologies,

In such a way that they also established themselves in Mesoamerican culture. From this video onwards, we will start analyzing the work The Lost Realms, where Sitchin establishes the parallel that links the Sumerian worship of the Anunnaki to Mesoamerican cultures.

Toledo, a serene city nestled an hour south of Madrid, captivates visitors with its rich tapestry of historical monuments, each telling tales from various cultures. This city, steeped in legend, traces its origins back two millennia before the Christian era, believed to be founded

By Noah’s biblical descendants. The name ‘Toledo’ is thought to derive from the Hebrew ‘Toledoth’, meaning ‘Generational Histories’. Its ancient dwellings and grand religious buildings are testament to Spain’s Christianization, the rise and decline of Moorish rule, and the fading of a once-glorious Jewish heritage. The year 1492 marked a turning point not just

For Toledo and Spain, but for many nations, with three monumental events unfolding. Spain, then known as “Iberia” — a name possibly rooted in the Hebrew term ‘Ibri’ — witnessed its first significant union when Ferdinand of Aragon and Isabella of Castile married

In 1469. This union led to a military crusade against the Moors, culminating in the Christian conquest of Spain with the fall of Granada in January 1492. In March, the monarchs decreed the expulsion of non-convert Jews, setting a July 31 deadline. And on August 3, Christopher

Columbus set sail under the Spanish flag, seeking a western passage to India, landing on October 12, 1492. Columbus returned to Spain in January 1493 with tangible proofs of his journey: four natives, golden artifacts, and tales of a golden city abundant in gold.

Queen Isabella, renowned for her devout Catholicism, commissioned an ornate Custody from the first gold Columbus brought back, which she donated to Toledo’s Cathedral, the bastion of Spain’s Catholic hierarchy. Today, visitors to the cathedral’s Treasury can view, though not touch, this first gold from the New World. Columbus’s voyage, initially a quest for a

New route to India, was layered with deeper motives. Evidence suggests Columbus, likely a coerced Jewish convert, was financed by similarly converted backers, possibly seeking refuge. Ferdinand and Isabella dreamed of discovering mythical lands, while Columbus harbored secret ambitions aligned with ancient prophecies, envisioning himself as the harbinger

Of a new era from the discovery of lands at the world’s edge. Realizing the allure of gold, Columbus persuaded the monarchs for further expeditions, aiming to uncover the mysterious source of gold. However, the monarchs, wary of Columbus’s governing skills, dispatched administrators to oversee the operations. This led to Columbus’s

Arrest and return to Spain, though he was promptly released and compensated by the monarchs, who still doubted his ability to unearth the City of Gold. Columbus, undeterred, compiled a ‘Book of Prophecies’, filled with ancient texts and biblical quotes, which he presented to the monarchs. He aimed to convince them of Spain’s

Destiny to rule over Jerusalem and his role in fulfilling that by discovering the origin of gold. Ferdinand and Isabella, devout followers of the Scriptures, were persuaded by Columbus’ assertion that the Orinoco river he discovered was one of the four rivers from Paradise.

They were particularly convinced by the scriptural reference to Havila, a land abundant in gold. Columbus’ final journey was fraught with more challenges than his previous expeditions. Upon his return to Spain on November 7, 1504, Columbus was a mere shadow of his former self,

Burdened by arthritis. Shortly after his return, Queen Isabella passed away. King Ferdinand, despite his fondness for Columbus, chose to pass on Columbus’ final memorandum, which outlined evidence of a significant gold source in the newly discovered territories, to others. Columbus had assured the monarchy that Hispaniola would provide them with copious amounts of

Gold. Indeed, the Spanish settlers, using local Indians as forced labor, extracted substantial gold from the island, now divided between Haiti and the Dominican Republic. In under twenty years, the Spanish treasury received gold equivalent to 500,000 ducats from Hispaniola. This pattern of exploitation and disappointment in Hispaniola would be replicated across the

Vast continent. As native populations dwindled and gold sources depleted, the Spaniards’ initial excitement turned to disillusionment. Their quest for wealth led them to explore further, including the Yucatan peninsula. The first Spaniards arrived in Yucatan in 1511 as shipwreck survivors, but in 1517, Francisco Hernandez de Cordoba led an expedition

From Cuba specifically to acquire slave labor. Astonishingly, they encountered structured stone buildings, temples, and idols, as well as unfortunate natives, who the Spaniards believed called themselves “Maya,” and from whom they seized gold objects. The conquest of Yucatan is detailed in Friar Diego de Landa’s 1566 report, “Relacion de

Las cosas de Yucatan”. Landa chronicled the Spaniards’ discovery of a large step-pyramid, statues, and a substantial inland city. Despite fierce resistance from the natives, including cannon fire from the ships, Hernandez’s group sustained heavy losses, forcing them to retreat. Yet, Hernandez advocated for further explorations, citing the land’s richness in gold.

Another expedition embarked for Yucatan a year later, discovering New Spain, Panuco, Tabasco, and Cozumel. Encountering both hostility and hospitality from the locals, the Spaniards observed more architectural marvels and experienced the sharpness of obsidian-tipped arrows and spears. They found numerous stone and copper artifacts, but, contrary to their hopes, little

Gold. The Mayas explained that they acquired gold through trade from the northwest, from the abundant Aztec lands. The historic conquest of the Aztecs and their realm in Mexico’s highlands is synonymous with Hernando Cortes. In 1519, he set sail from Cuba with a formidable fleet, hundreds of men, and valuable horses. Traversing the

Gulf coast of Yucatan, he established a base camp where Maya influence waned and Aztec power began, naming it Veracruz, a name it retains to this day. In a historical event that left the Spaniards in awe, emissaries of the Aztec emperor approached,

Extending warm welcomes and presenting magnificent gifts. Bernal Diaz del Castillo, an eyewitness, detailed in “Historia verdadera de la conquista de la Nueva Espana” (translated by A. P. Maudslay) the opulence of these offerings. Among them was a golden wheel, comparable in size to

A cartwheel, adorned with intricate designs, valued at an astonishing ten thousand dollars. Accompanying this was a larger wheel, crafted from shimmering silver, designed to mimic the moon. Additionally, a helmet brimming with golden grains and a headdress adorned with quetzal feathers, now a relic in Vienna’s Museum für Völkerkunde, were part of the

Trove. The emissaries conveyed that these offerings were from Moctezuma, intended for the deity Quetzalcoatl, the “Plumed Serpent” of Aztec lore. Quetzalcoatl, a revered figure, had been exiled by the God of War, ultimately departing to Yucatan and then venturing eastward with a pledge of return on his birth date

In the year “1 Reed”. This date, recurring every fifty-two years in the Aztec calendar, coincidentally aligned with the year 1519, marking Cortes’ arrival from the east, fulfilling the prophecy with his bearded, fair-skinned appearance. The selection of these gifts was steeped in profound symbolism. The golden grains signified

The divine nature of gold, a metal of the gods. The silver moon disc was a nod to the legend of Quetzalcoatl ascending to the moon. The lavish headdress and garments were meant for the deity upon his return, and the golden disc was a sacred representation of the fifty-two-year

Cycle, predicting the Year of Return. Similar calendars, though made of stone rather than gold, have been uncovered since then. The Spaniards’ understanding and respect for this symbolism remain undocumented. To them, these artifacts signified immense wealth awaiting in the Aztec lands. These irreplaceable treasures, part of a shipment that arrived in Seville

On December 9, 1519, were sent by Cortes to Spain, eventually reaching the Spanish king Charles I in Brussels. The collection, including golden figurines and a majestic “sun disk,” astounded Albrecht Durer, who witnessed the arrival of these treasures from “the New Golden

Land.” He expressed immense admiration for the artistic mastery from these far-off lands, estimating their value at 100,000 gulden. However, to King Charles, their cultural, historical, or artistic significance was secondary to their material value. He swiftly ordered the melting down of these precious artifacts into bullion, to fund his military campaigns

And quell internal and external conflicts. In the historical conquest of Mexico, Cortes and his troops advanced cautiously, overcoming resistance through superior military might or strategic diplomacy. Arriving at Tenochtitlan, the Aztec capital which is now Mexico City, in November 1519, they found the city strategically located in the middle of a lake, accessible

Only by defendable causeways. Despite the foretelling of a Returning God, Moctezuma and the Aztec nobility greeted Cortes and his men, displaying profound humility and reverence. Moctezuma, uniquely in sandals, welcomed the Spaniards into his grand palace adorned with gold, even presenting them a room filled with golden artifacts. Employing

Deception, the Spaniards captured Moctezuma, demanding a ransom of gold for his release. This led to the collection of a substantial amount of gold from across the kingdom, sufficient to fill a ship bound for Spain, although it was intercepted by the French, igniting a conflict. Cortes, intent on using gold as leverage and

Inciting division within the Aztec ranks, planned to reinstate Moctezuma as a puppet ruler. However, impatient actions by his deputy led to the massacre of Aztec nobles, resulting in Moctezuma’s death and escalating conflict. Suffering significant losses, Cortes was forced to retreat, only to return with reinforcements from Cuba in August 1521, eventually establishing

Spanish dominion and extracting about 600,000 pesos worth of gold. As the conquest of Mexico unfolded, the illusion of a New Golden Land shattered when the plundered gold artifacts, centuries-old, were removed. This realization shifted the Spaniards’ focus to other regions in the New World in their relentless quest for gold.

In the meantime, the Spaniards had established Panama as their base on the Pacific coast. From there, they explored Central and South America, where they encountered the legend of El Dorado, a king so wealthy that he coated himself in gold dust daily. This legend captivated

Many, including Francisco Pizarro in Panama, who learned of a Colombian Indian’s account of a ritual involving the gilded king offering treasures to the gods in a sacred lake. Variations of this tale emerged, with one describing the king carrying immense treasures

To the lake’s center as an offering. Another account identified the city of gold as Manoa, located in Biru, or Peru as known to the Spaniards. The legend of El Dorado spread rapidly, inspiring numerous writings and igniting European imaginations with descriptions of the unseen city, the

Ritual, and the gilded king. While explorers like Cortes ventured to California and others to Venezuela, Pizarro and his officers relied on these indigenous reports, leading some to investigate Lake Guatavita in Colombia. This search, which continued intermittently for centuries, yielded golden artifacts and left treasure hunters convinced of the lake’s

Hidden riches, believing that draining it would unveil its golden secrets. Pizarro, along with others, saw Peru as the ideal destination for their ambitions. Launching expeditions from Panama along South America’s Pacific coast, they amassed enough gold to believe a significant venture into Peru would be fruitful. With the titles of Captain General

And Governor of the yet-to-be-conquered province, Pizarro embarked for Peru in 1530 with a contingent of two hundred men. The question arose: how could Pizarro conquer a vast country, defended by thousands of warriors devoted to their Inca lord, perceived as a divine embodiment, with such a limited force? Pizarro’s strategy mirrored that of Cortes

– drawing in the ruler, capturing him, demanding gold for ransom, and subsequently using him as a puppet for Spanish interests. Coincidentally, the Incas, which was also the name given to the people, were embroiled in a civil conflict when the Spaniards arrived.

The death of the Lord Inca had sparked a succession dispute between his firstborn with a secondary wife and another son from his principal wife. As the Spaniards advanced, Atahualpa, the challenging son, opted to let them move inland, focusing on seizing the capital, Cuzco. When

The Spaniards reached a significant city in the Andes, they sent emissaries to Atahualpa, offering peace talks and suggesting a meeting in the city square, without arms or escorts, as a gesture of goodwill. Atahualpa consented, but upon his arrival, the Spaniards ambushed

His escort and took him prisoner. The Spaniards demanded a ransom for Atahualpa’s release: a room filled with gold up to the height a man could reach. Atahualpa interpreted this as filling the room with gold artifacts and agreed. So, golden items from temples

And palaces were gathered — goblets, ewers, and various ornaments. However, the Spaniards later insisted on solid gold, leading to months of melting down these treasures into ingots. Atahualpa’s fate mirrored that of Moctezuma. Although Pizarro planned to release him as a nominal ruler, his lieutenants and church officials, in a sham trial, condemned Atahualpa

To death for idolatry and fratricide. The ransom for Atahualpa was immense, as recorded in the chronicles, a significant “wheighs of gold,” a fortune swiftly divided among Pizarro and his men, after allocating the king’s due share. The wealth each man gained

Exceeded their wildest dreams, yet it paled in comparison to the riches that awaited. Upon entering the capital city, Cuzco, the conquistadores witnessed temples and palaces adorned and filled with gold. The royal palace alone housed three chambers of gold furnishings

And five of silver. A staggering 100,000 gold ingots, each weighing about five pounds, were stored as reserves, poised for transformation into artistic creations. A golden throne, complete with a stool that doubled as a litter for the king to recline on, was so lavish

It weighed 25,000 pesos (around 4,000 ounces), and even its carrying poles were gold-plated. An abundance of chapels and burial chambers dedicated to honoring ancestors were present, brimming with statuettes, images of various animals, ear spools, and breastplates. In

The renowned Temple of the Sun, as named by the Spaniards, walls were clad in thick gold plates, and its garden showcased an astounding display where all elements – trees, shrubs, flowers, birds, even a fountain – were crafted in gold. One striking feature was a maize

Field in the courtyard, each stalk made of silver, and the ears crafted in gold, spanning a vast area of 180,000 square feet. Meanwhile, in Peru, the Spaniards’ initial victories soon turned into prolonged struggles against Inca rebellions, and their initial wealth led to rampant inflation. Contrasting the Spaniards’ view, for the Incas and Aztecs,

Gold symbolized a divine gift or property of the gods, not a tradeable commodity. Conversely, the Spaniards saw gold as a medium to fulfill their desires. This disparity in values led to the Spaniards paying exorbitant prices for basic luxuries and necessities – sixty

Golden pesos for wine, 100 for a cloak, even 10,000 for a horse. Back in Europe, the influx of gold, silver, and precious stones intensified gold fever, fueling more speculation about the mythical El Dorado. Despite the substantial treasures flowing in, the unwavering belief that El Dorado remained undiscovered persisted. There

Was a consensus that with enough persistence, luck, and the correct interpretation of indigenous clues and cryptic maps, someone would eventually unearth it. German explorers were convinced that the golden city lay at the Orinoco river’s headwaters in Venezuela, or perhaps in Colombia. Others speculated about different rivers, including the Amazon in Brazil. Among the

Most romanticized explorers was Sir Walter Raleigh, who, backed by royal support, embarked from Plymouth in 1595 in search of the fabled Manoa, aiming to add its golden riches to Queen Elizabeth’s crown. In his dream, he envisioned Manoa as: Imperial El Dorado, roofed with gold! Shadows to which —

Despite of all shocks of change, all onset of capricious accident — Men clung with yearning hope which would not die. Throughout history, the legend of El Dorado — the king, the city, the land — has captivated many, embodying “a yearning hope which would not die.” Those driven by this dream formed

A continuum reaching back beyond ancient pharaohs, a legacy evident in our wedding rings and national treasures. These dreamers, these seekers of fortune, in their relentless pursuit of gold, inadvertently unveiled the hidden civilizations and peoples of the Americas to the Western world, reestablishing ancient connections long forgotten.

The relentless pursuit of El Dorado persisted intensely, even after the astonishing discoveries of gold and silver in Mexico and Peru. This enduring search was largely fueled by the belief that the ultimate source of these vast riches remained undiscovered. Spanish explorers exhaustively interrogated indigenous peoples about the origins of their

Wealth, following every lead. They realized that the Caribbean and Yucatan were not the primary sources. The Maya revealed they primarily obtained gold through trade with southern and western neighbors and had learned goldsmithing from earlier inhabitants, now identified as

The Toltecs. When asked about the gold’s origin, the Maya attributed it to the gods, referring to it as teocuitlatl, meaning “the gods’ excretion”— their sweat and tears. In the Aztec capital, gold was revered as a divine metal, with its theft considered

A grave crime. The Aztecs, too, credited the Toltecs with teaching them goldsmithing. And who taught the Toltecs? According to the Aztecs, it was the great god Quetzalcoatl. Cortes, in his communications to the Spanish king, detailed his extensive inquiries with the Aztec king Moctezuma about the gold’s origin. Moctezuma disclosed three primary sources

Within his kingdom: one on the Pacific coast, one on the gulf coast, and an inland southwestern area with mines. Cortes dispatched expeditions to these sites, discovering that the gold was primarily collected from riverbeds or surface nuggets washed down

By rain. In the region with mines, evidence suggested they had only been used in the past; the natives encountered were not actively mining. Cortes reported, “There were no active mines,” noting that gold was found as surface nuggets or in riverbed sand, stored

In small cane tubes or quilts, or melted and formed into bars. Once processed, it was transported to the capital, returning to the gods, the rightful owners of the gold. The consensus among mining and metallurgy specialists aligns with Cortes’ view that Aztec gold extraction was limited to placer mining, collecting gold from surfaces and

Riverbeds rather than advanced mining techniques involving shafts and tunnels. Despite this, historical accounts from Spanish conquerors and subsequent centuries’ mining engineers consistently mention prehistoric gold mines across Mexican locations. It appears implausible that Mexico’s earlier settlers, like the Toltecs, whose origins date back centuries before the

Common Era, would surpass the Aztecs in mining technology. Hence, supposed “prehistoric mines” are often considered mere remnants of incomplete projects by the Spanish conquerors. At the turn of the century, Alexander Del Mar reflected the prevailing opinions, noting the Aztecs’ lack of iron knowledge made subterranean mining unlikely. Reports of old shafts and

Mining remnants in Mexico, sometimes interpreted as prehistoric, were, according to Del Mar, more likely results of ancient activities combined with geological phenomena. Del Mar suggested that such interpretations of ancient mining activities lacked sufficient justification. Contrasting these scholarly views, Aztec accounts offer a different narrative. They credit the

Toltecs with not only the artistry but also the knowledge of secret gold locations and the skill to extract it from mountainous terrains. The Aztec manuscript “Codice Matritense de la Real Academia,” translated by Miguel León-Portilla in its eighth volume, portrays the Toltecs in this light.

“The Toltecs were skillful people; all of their works were good, all were exact, all well made and admirable Painters, sculptors, carvers of precious stones, feather artists, potters, spinners, weavers, skillful in all they made. They discovered the precious green

Stones, the turquoise; they knew the turquoise and its mines. They found its mines and they found the mountains hiding silver and gold, copper and tin and the metal of the moon.” Historians have reached a consensus that the Toltecs arrived in Mexico’s central highland

Centuries before the birth of Christ, predating the Aztecs by at least a millennium or possibly even fifteen hundred years. A perplexing question arises: how did the Toltecs possess advanced knowledge of mining gold, other metals, and precious stones like turquoise, while the

Aztecs, who succeeded them, only managed to gather surface nuggets? The key to this enigma lies in the teachings of Quetzalcoatl, the revered Feathered Serpent deity. This conundrum, evident in the case of the Toltecs, was also mirrored in the Inca civilization.

In both Peru and Mexico, natives traditionally harvested gold by collecting grains and nuggets from riverbeds, washed down from the mountains. However, these primitive methods fell short in explaining the vast gold reserves found in the possession of the Incas. Records from Seville, Spain’s official entry port for New World treasures, reveal staggering amounts

Of gold received over various periods. Between 1521 and 1525, 134.000 pesos de oro were recorded, escalating to nearly 11,000,000 pesos in the 1550s. Pedro de Cieza de Leon, a prominent chronicler of that era, reported that post-conquest, the Spaniards annually extracted from the Inca empire staggering amounts of gold and

Silver, totaling millions of ounces. These figures underscore the immense wealth plundered by the Spaniards in Inca territories. Following their initial large ransom from the Inca ruler, the Spanish conquistadors became adept at looting gold in vast quantities from the empire. Gold adorned provincial palaces and temples throughout the Inca realm, and

Burial sites were also a rich source. The Spaniards learned of the Inca tradition of sealing off the residences of the deceased elite, leaving behind mummified bodies surrounded by their earthly treasures. They also correctly suspected that the Incas had hidden additional treasures in various locations, including caves, burial sites, and sacred lakes, as

Well as in huacas, revered places dedicated to worship or divine entities. The records are replete with tales of treasure discoveries, often obtained through the brutal torture of indigenous people to divulge secret locations. These accounts span the fifty years following the conquest and even into the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Notable examples

Include Gonzalo Pizarro’s discovery of a hidden treasure of an ancient Inca lord, Garcia Gutierrez de Toledo’s unearthing of sacred treasures worth over a million pesos, and Escobar Corchuelo’s retrieval of valuables valued at 60,000 pesos from the huaca La Tosca. In one significant

Instance, the diversion of the Moche river led to the discovery of a treasure including a large golden idol, valued at about 600,000 pesos. Over a century ago, two explorers, closer to the historical events than one could be today, offered this perspective on the Spanish conquest of Peru: “In the latter half of

The sixteenth century, within a mere twenty-five years, Spain imported over four hundred million ducats of gold and silver from Peru. It is reasonable to assume that nine-tenths of this was simply looted by the conquerors. This figure does not account for the vast amounts

Of precious metals the natives buried to protect them from the greed of the invaders. It also excludes the famous gold chain, made on the order of Inca Huayna Capac to celebrate his eldest son, Inti Cusi Huallapa Huascar’s birth, believed to have been cast into Urcos Lake.” “Additionally, eleven thousand llamas carrying gold dust in precious metal vases, sent by Atahualpa to buy his freedom, were buried in Puna upon hearing of his treacherous sentencing.” The staggering wealth extracted by the Spaniards was not from ongoing production but from looting pre-collected riches. Historical records and declining gold yields in Seville, falling

To merely 6,000 and 7,000 pounds annually within decades, support this. After depleting the visible and hidden treasures, the Spaniards turned to forced native labor in the mines. The brutal conditions led to such depopulation that by century’s end, Spain had to limit

The exploitation of native workers. While vast silver deposits like Potosi were discovered and mined, the gold yield never approached the initial plundered amounts. Ribero and von Tschudi speculated about Peru’s gold abundance, contrasting it with the lesser quantities extracted by the Spaniards over four centuries. They suggested the Incas knew

Of gold veins unknown to their conquerors and predicted Peru might one day unveil riches surpassing those of the California gold rush. The prevailing view, as expressed by Del Mar, was that pre-conquest Peruvians primarily obtained gold by washing river gravels, with

No evidence of native mining shafts, only some shallow excavations. This might be true for the Incas and Aztecs, but the question of pre-Inca mining remains open. This enigma suggests that before the Incas, others might have accessed gold from its source veins, accounting for the vast hoards. Contemporary studies corroborate this, citing ancient shafts

And primitive tools found at modern mining sites. Yet, an underlying question persists: Why did the American natives accumulate such enormous quantities of gold? Centuries of research by historians and chroniclers have led to a consensus that ancient civilizations, such as the Aztecs and Incas, had little practical

Need for gold. Their primary use of this precious metal was to embellish the temples of deities and the rulers who governed on behalf of these divine beings. Notably, the Aztecs willingly offered their gold to the Spanish conquerors, mistaking them for their prophesized returning

God. Similarly, the Incas initially perceived the Spaniards as divine fulfillers of an ancient promise. However, their perception shifted as they failed to comprehend the Spaniards’ aggressive pursuit of gold, a material seemingly insignificant in practical applications. It is widely acknowledged that neither the Incas nor the Aztecs employed gold as currency or

Assigned it commercial value. Despite this, they still exacted gold tributes from their vassal states, raising the question: Why? Alexander von Humboldt, a prominent explorer of the 19th century, uncovered an abundance of gold in the burial sites of a pre-Incan civilization at Chimu, along the Peruvian coast. This discovery prompted him to question

The rationale behind burying gold with the deceased. Was it a belief that the departed would require gold in the afterlife, or that they could utilize it in the same way their ancestors did? The origins of such practices and beliefs

Remain shrouded in mystery, as does the identity of those who initially instilled such a high value on gold. The Spaniards, in their quest for answers, were consistently directed to one entity: “the gods.” According to Incan lore, gold was the manifestation of the gods’ tears. This belief inadvertently mirrored the biblical statement proclaimed

By the Lord through the prophet Haggai. The silver is mine and the gold is mine, So sayeth the Lord of Hosts. The statement identified by Zecharia Sitchin is considered crucial for deciphering the complexities and hidden aspects of gods, humans, and ancient civilizations in the Americas.
