The Macuxi Indians and the Underworld
The Macuxi Indians of the Amazon in Northern Brazil have oral traditions that tell of a time when they were entrusted with the secret knowledge of a gateway to the underground realm of the inner earth. The Macuxi were allowed to visit this hidden land on occasion and interact with the giants that resided there. They were also promised that if they carried out their guardianship duties faithfully they would be allowed to reincarnate in the peaceful realms of the inner world.
Unfortunately, when the white man of Europe came and stole the lands from the native inhabitants of North and South America, it was necessary to close up this portal to protect the hidden lands from the destructive tendencies of the conquering white nations. The Macuxis were warned to flee to the inner realm. Those that stayed suffered at the hands of their conquerors and live on today with the memories and oral traditions of a paradise lost.

"from the destructive tendencies of the conquering white nations."
ReplyDeleteintroducing modern law system and eliminating human sacrifice by the Europeans is a destructive tendency? Wow I didn't know this site is pc.
Maybe conquistadors were into destruction, but later spanish viceroys did much to improve the region.
F*ck that. I'd rather die than live in this worthless system we owe to them nowadays. If you ask me sacrifice is worth it.
DeleteBefore "we" Europeans came to America there were no white people in America mr Bateson. That's american stupidity to believe there were whites.
