Moche Culture

On the beach. This whole coast is desert wasteland style beach. Nice but eager to get further north to the pure sunshine and lush jungle. There´s some huge ruins around here. Massive adobe cities covered with sand. Tough to learn about these people since they had no written language. They buried their kings with all their wives and bodyguards. Then they preserved the body with mercury and lime. How did they know how to use Mercury?(mercury is considered by alchemists to be the gateway substance between the material and spiritual) Pretty high tech for people who didnt have the wheel and ate genui pigs. Once in a while they would bring out the dead king´s body for parties and everyone would worship the body. I wouldnt doubt if they had some knowledge about the afterlife that we don´t. The mummifyication process being not some sort of faith driven ritual but actually a scientific technology designed to garuntee one dude´s transcendance. This culture was also heavy into the pschedelic San Pedro Cactus and also the vine ayawaska from the jungle. Here the San Pedro grows everywhere you look and is legal to consume. One of the huge religious complexes the size of the old Winnipeg Arena had layer apon layer of mummy rooms, and deity chambers. Spanish Tomb raiders bore into the walls in the 15nth century and so sand blew in and filled the upper levels. But the crazy thing is that archeologists have never been into the lower and older to levels! That means that there are two levels that are sand free and untouched for the past 700 years. Some of the areas that have been uncovered still have the vibrant paintjobs and complicated images describing weird gods and human sacrifice. Perhaps tonight Ill find some sanpedro, grab my head lamp and shovel and find my way into those lower levels and learn some secrets from those old ghosts. Heck, there´s probably an alien spaceship down there.
