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.

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!)

Viracocha

Viracocha was the supreme god of the Incas. He is also known as Huiracocha, Wiraqoca and Wiro Qocha. Considered the creator god he was the father of all other Inca gods and it was he who formed the earth, heavens, sun, moon and all living beings. When he finished his work he was believed to have travelled far and wide teaching humanity and bringing the civilised arts before he headed west across the Pacific, never to be seen again but promising one day to return. In his absence lesser deities were assigned the duty of looking after the interests of the human race but Viracocha was, nevertheless, always watching from afar the progress of his children.

Alternative Names

As the supreme pan-Andean creator god, omnipresent Viracocha was most often referred to by the Inca using descriptions of his various functions rather than his more general name which may signify lake, foam, or sea-fat. These other names, perhaps used because the god's real name was too sacred to be spoken, included Ilya (light), Ticci (beginning), and Wiraqoca Pacayacaciq (instructor).

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.

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.

Coricancha

El complejo religioso de Coricancha (Qorikancha) en la capital inca de Cuzco contenía el Templo del Sol, que no solo era el sitio más sagrado o huaca en la religión inca, sino que también se consideraba el centro mismo del mundo inca. El sitio también se conocía como el Recinto Dorado y estaba dedicado a los dioses más elevados en el panteón inca, como el dios creador Viracocha, la diosa de la luna Quilla y especialmente a Inti, el dios del sol. Hoy en día queda poco, excepto algunas secciones de sus finos muros de piedra que insinúan el tamaño gigantesco que alguna vez tuvo el sitio y las leyendas que hablan de la enorme cantidad de oro utilizada para decorar los templos y su jardín dorado.
