Inca Civilization

The Inca civilization flourished in ancient Peru between c. 1400 and 1533 CE. The Inca Empire eventually extended across western South America from Quito in the north to Santiago in the south. It was the largest empire ever seen in the Americas and the largest in the world at that time.

Fate Magazine advertisement, 1973.

Fate started off as a Shaver Mystery mag created by Raymond Palmer, but when that strange mass hysteria started to die down as much as other fixations of the era (Dean Drive, Dianetics) it switched to being an all around paranormal magazine.

Cuzco

Cuzco (Cusco ou Qosqo) était la capitale religieuse et administrative de l'empire inca qui s'épanouit dans l'ancien Pérou entre 1400 et 1534. Les Incas contrôlaient un territoire allant de Quito à Santiago, ce qui faisait d'eux le plus grand empire jamais vu dans les Amériques et le plus grand au monde à cette époque. Cuzco, qui comptait jusqu'à 150 000 habitants à son apogée, avait la forme d'un puma et était dominée par de beaux édifices et palais, dont le plus riche était le complexe sacré de Coricancha, recouvert d'or et constellé d'émeraudes, qui comprenait un temple dédié au dieu soleil inca, Inti. Cuzco est inscrite au patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO.

Momias incas

La civilización inca de Perú, como muchas otras culturas andinas antiguas, momificaba a muchos de sus muertos y los enterraba con materiales valiosos tales como joyas de metales preciosos, cerámica fina y tejidos suntuosos. Periódicamente también se sacaba a las momias importantes de sus tumbas para participar en ceremonias, donde también se les ofrecía comida como si todavía fuesen personas vivas. Las momias (mallki) que no han sido presa de los saqueadores en la mayoría de casos se han preservado excelentemente, gracias al clima seco de la región andina, y proporcionan una visión única sobre la cultura, las prácticas religiosas y la vida diaria de los incas.

“But the most extraordinary and profoundly moving of the traits of Viracocha, this nobly conceived Peruvian rendition of the universal god, is the detail that is peculiarly his own, namely that of the tears. The living waters are the tears of God. Herewith the world-discrediting insight of the monk, "All life is sorrowful," is combined with the world-begetting affirmative of the father: "Life must be!" In full awareness of the life anguish of the creatures of his hand, in full consciousness of the roaring wilderness of pains, the brain-splitting fires of the deluded, self-ravaging, lustful, angry universe of his creation, this divinity acquiesces in the deed of supplying life to life. To withhold the seminal waters would be to annihilate; yet to give them forth is to create this world that we know. For the essence of time is flux, dissolution of the momentarily existent; and the essence of life is time. In his mercy, in his love for the forms of time, this demiurgic man of men yields countenance to the sea of pangs; but in his full awareness of what he is doing, the seminal waters of the life that he gives are the tears of his eyes.”

a thought i had the other day which is much more stringboardy.... what the

my stringboard theory is that zios is the phantom phlob (in ajpw). the aj wiki says that zios and mira have sky control powers which im not sure where thats from. but my thought process was that the phantom phlob gives out so many weather-related items when u feed them seeds, which reminded me of zios's alleged weather powers, and since zios is apparently trapped in the phantom dimension i guess it could happen. zios's mask is also vaguely similar in shape to phantoms (both have 8 main projections, which for zios is more obvious when his mask is simplified)

this connection could also be because the phantoms' origins (in some version of the lore) are related to zios and mira.

when i was younger i would roleplay that i was a phantom in an animal disguise and dog and i would recruit other jammers to be phantoms with us so i feel like ive always wanted phantoms to have transformative powers... phantoms seem a bit capable of that for more simple organisms like plants and coral (and that fish in tiki trouble), which seems like a pollution mutating wildlife kind of scenario.

greely did create a machine that disguises himself as a phantom so zios could be in a disguise? no ideas for mira though... idk i really want them both to be okay and surviving in the dimension somehow lol. and i want to meet them and it would be really crazy if we already have.

one person on the ajpw wiki's comments said they think that arthur (the traveling salesman raccoon) is a phantom spy, which i have no clue what their reasoning is. but the phantom dimension has its own traveling salesman, maybe if phantoms can disguise themselves as animals this could be true? (or he could be an animal aligned with the phantoms for some reason, in a phantom disguise. or this could all be nonsense!)

Religion Inca

Pour les Incas, comme pour beaucoup d'autres cultures anciennes, la religion était inséparable de la politique, de l'histoire et de la société en général. Tous les aspects de la vie communautaire étaient étroitement liés aux croyances religieuses, des mariages à l'agriculture, du gouvernement aux enterrements. On pensait que les dieux et les ancêtres des Incas influençaient les succès et les échecs de toute nature dans la vie.

Mira and Zios sketches ^^__^^

Since Viracocha was the inspiration for Zios's mask, I wanted to incorporate more of his description into him. The more I think about it, it feels more natural if Zios didn't necessarily wear a mask, and it's more of an artistic representation of him.

Cusco

Cuzco (also Cusco or Qosqo) was the religious and administrative capital of the Inca Empire which flourished in ancient Peru between c. 1400 and 1534 CE. The Incas controlled territory from Quito to Santiago, making theirs the largest empire ever seen in the Americas and the largest in the world at that time. Cuzco, which had a population of up to 150,000 at its peak, was laid out in the form of a puma and was dominated by fine buildings and palaces, the richest of all being the sacred gold-covered and emerald-studded Coricancha complex which included a temple to the Inca sun god Inti. Cuzco is listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.

Cuzco in Mythology

In mythology the Inca race was created by the great god Viracocha who caused them to be born from the sun god Inti. The first eight Incas were thus born at Tiwanaku or, in an alternative version, they emerged from the sacred Pacaritambo cave, and then they migrated down to the Cuzco valley. Led by Manco Capac (or Manko Qhapaq) and Mama Ocllo, the group fulfilled the earlier prophecy whereby they should settle where their golden staff could be easily driven into the ground. Before the Incas could prosper, though, they first had to defeat their local rivals, the Chanca, a feat they achieved with the help of stone giants, the pururaucas. This event did have a basis in reality, as the Incas did indeed defeat the Chanca in 1438 CE. Thus the Inca capital was established. The name Cuzco may derive from either qosqo, meaning 'dried-up lake bed' or cozco, a particular stone marker in the city.
