We know from ancient Indian legends that at some point shrouded in the mists of time, White men landed on the shores of the New World, long before Columbus. Every Indian society of which we have any knowledge records this arrival and refers to a White God who brought them their system of science, engineering, gave them their legal codes, and helped them achieve a high level of civilization. But who was this High God?? And how did he and his relatives cross a vast unknown ocean to arrive in a New World? From these ancient legends we learn that these White Gods arrived in huge foreign ships with swan wings, hulls gleaming so brightly that they looked like giant serpents gliding over the water. When they reached the shore, strange men emerged from the ships, fair skinned and blue-eyed, wearing the gowns of a coarse black material with a circular opening at the neck and short wide sleeves.
The legend of a particular White God has also survived to our day from all the ancient civilizations of Central and South America. The Toltecs and Aztec of Mexico called him Quetzalcoatl, the Incas called him Viracocha, to the Maya he was Kukulcan, who brought them their laws, their script and was worshipped like a god by the people. To the Chibchas he was Bochia, the White Mantle of Light. To those of Peru he was Hyustus, and to this day they will tell you that he was fair and had blue eyes.
According to two of the chroniclers White men with beards turned up on the shores of Lake Titicaca, built a great city, and taught the inhabitants a more civilized way of life. The Indians said that the White Gods built this city 2000 years before the time of the Incas.
