Signs and Symbols in Marcahuasi

...Perhaps its a warning sign, a secret entrance,
an epitaph, a symbol of perfect geometry
or the scars of whiplashes from "Soctacure"...


There they are and they you will find these signs and symbols.
An unintelligible language.






All of the signs and symbols that you find in Marcahuasi, still are far from being understood. When we've been in front of the Chinese ideogram, the mystical cross, The seven-lined stone, or any other sign and symbol with an infinite dose of admiration and afterwards, like a moonless night in Marcahuasi.

All of the time that I've visited the plateau, I've never found anybody investigating this subject, except the mysterious Imelda Pomphiu, a Chinese lady that spoke to me about it, but her conclusions were taken to an absolute level and now I need time to think over that particular post.

In all of the large and small civilisations they have been identified by some sign or symbol to remember it by, to distinguish it, or to represent something about its social, political or religious life. They used colours, marks, and signs like the Tao, the Jewish cross, the swastika, the crucifix, the eagle, the sun, etc.

In Marcahuasi there existed a civilisation and its stone monuments are a proof that here there was life and that these signs and symbols are messages left for our time, besides which they are placed in strategic places indicating the start or the end of "SOMETHING". That isn't a coincidence.

The Chinese idiogram, the name that Ruzo gave it, is a sign of low prominence in the centre of the plateau, a sleeping forgotten message ... What Chinese sign will it be?





The Mystical Cross

This mystical cross, situated in the hills of the lake of "Cachu Cachu", generates a lot of admiration and amazement from all tourists for its strange demarcation. It definitely is a sign that we don't know the why and the what it was made for, but it is like a reconnection with the past, the enigmatic and divine. Some visitors arrive at the extreme of crucifying themselves on that cross, and they say that they feel the rock beating, and certain vibrations ...

I've never felt anything ... but some say that they have felt it. The UFO followers have gone further and imply that it is a sign for the space ships to land!






The seven lined stone

An eccentric tourist performed a ritual in front of this seven lined stone, that you can find at one of the sides of the Monument to Humanity. Afterwards I approached him and he said "This is an entrance that opens at some predetermined time, ... and I wait for the key to be able to communicate with its sovereign.". He left me with the cold of the morning, more and more confused ...

Other say that there existed a treasure and if you enter it enchants you and you disappear. If this was the truth Marcahuasi has and will have that mythical depth and legend, like the stone of the 12 angles found in Cuzco, or the monolyths of Ollantaytambo.





The Mural

The stone is the one that most supported the punishment of the weather through the ages, for these civilisations we are left with a language of signs and symbols that say "something" to us, something like this mural that is waiting in Marcahuasi for a studious illuminated person. I hope that we decifer it all and we know the truth of this mural.

Perhaps the mural is a plan of the plateau, a warning sign or SOS, a chronological register of information, an epitaph, ... or a message that arrived here and they left. These and other hypotheses occur when we are in front of this joining of figures, lines and points. Everything that this shows isn't just a question of nature, and I hope the unbelievers will pardon me once more.





Joined Cross

This joining of lines where a cross stands out, and some other Chinese idiogram. This is in front of the Monument to Humanity, some say that they are the scars from whiplashes of "Soctacure" ... a secret key that hides the enigmas of Marcahuasi, if some day you are in front of this geometric labyrinth, just give freedom to your imagination and perhaps you will be able to decifer the truth in the company of the silence and the wind.





Symbol with seven sides...

It is the entrance of luck! The door to the ark of salvation! It is the shield of Marcahuasi! It is perfect geometry! There is a treasure hidden here ...!

So many exclamations follow from the visitors ... I don't know about all of that, whether it is some delirious state that Marcahuasi produces at the height of almost 4000 metres above sea level, or simply a metaphysical exaggeration; an essence of an internal force that this place emanates.

And if this symbol is true or a lie, here it is and here you will find it. It is a figure with seven sides, jealously protected by the Monument to Humanity.
