Description
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, and 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 gowns of a course 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 Viracoha, to the Maya he was Kukulcan who brought their laws, also their script, and was worshiped 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.

Beautifully composed and imagined, my friend. Good use of VUE and Poser aliens. Quite evocative. I could almost walk into this scene ( with my water bottle and sun shield, of course ). There must surely be a few short sci-fi / alternate history stories waiting to burst out of this one image.. Bravo! Warm regards and Happy Easter, from a damp, chilly Glasgow ( we had snow, hail, sleet and heavy rain last week - so I'm not complaining .. ;o) ), John.

Very impressive and well worth a zoom in for all the detail.

Thanks for the nice, well made image. Also, thanks for the text! Most people are unawares of this! I've read a lot about it. Kukulcan had 12 followers. They came after the great cataclysm (a huge meteor strike, resulting in the destruction of the civilizations of Atlantis and Lemuria, = the flood at the time of Noah, this as told in the most ancient Inca writings). They put an end to anarchy, starvation, cannibalism and, as you say, brought back civilization. Keep up the good work! :-) And Happy Easter to you!
