BRAZIL. AMAZON REGION. RONDONIA state. A team from the Mineral Resources Research Company (CPRM) - led by geologist Amilcar Adamy, found - at the region of Ponta do Abunã , the first paleotoca (paleo-burrows, of extinct animals) located at Brazilian Amazon region.

Ponta do Abunã is situated the border of Rondônia with the brazilian state of Acre and Bolivia. The structure of the tunnels drawn attention for its circular modeling, their large spaces. The length of the tunnels still could not be determined.


 
Ground sloth, Megatherium

Well kept, with no major obstacles to the movement of people, the paleotoca has claw marks that indicate that the place was excavated by big animals from the South American Pleistocene megafauna, possibly a giant sloth (Giant sloth, Megatherium), extinct for about 10,000 years.



Ponta do Abunã. In medium, the tunnels have widths of four meters and heights of 2 meters. The extensions explored until now  often reach 200 meters.


Paleo-burrow in Boqueirão do Leão, Rio Grande  do Sul state

At Brazil, Rio Grande do Sul is the state with the largest number of identified paleo-burrows. More than a thousand., according to data from Paleotocas Project, which brings together researchers from UFRS and Unesp, these paleotocas are unique in South America.

In Morro Grande, Santa Catarina state - have been identified tunnels with 150 meters length and about 1.5 meters in diameter distributed over 4 floors. The site is on a hill and has at least eight exits.

BRAZIL - The Mirrors of Heaven of Rondonia


RONDONIA/BRAZIL. There around 100 km from Alta Floresta do Oeste city (this, located distant 540 km Porto Velho (North region of Brazil), capital of Rondonia state, in a place called "cachoeira pequena" of rio Consuelo (small watterfall of Consuelo river), the brazilian independent researcher Joaquim Cunha Silva discovered a structure that is being called Altar Cerimonial Sagrado de Paititi (Sacred cerimonial altar of Paititi).

The found, that already was notified to the governamental authorities, shown to be an archaeological complex that includes, more than the Altar, residencial buildings, vast areas of planting, prepared, as agricultural terraces, funerary space and an enigmatic stone colossus, an elevation topographic with pyramidal form on top of which stands a figure zoomorphic which some identify as a giant condor. The native South Americans of western Amazon region call this place Huaca del Condor (below).

Since 2009, Joaquim Cunha Silva performs incursions in the region in search of geoglyphs and other cultural connections between the extreme northern Brazil and the peoples of the interior and the west coast of the continent, like the Andean and Arawak (Andinos and Aruaques).  

The discovery of Paititi's Altar is, in deed, an important evidence of the close relations among the south-americans nations in a wide territory of this part of the continent, situated below Equator line. 

Those kind of cavities on the rocks were found before in many countries of spanish Latin America, like Peru and Colombia - being the first, famous for its tradition to be the cradle of a great and mysterious civilization. According the Italian-Peruvian physicist and historical researcher Enrico Mattievich* :

The altar of Rondonia, with circular depressions dug into a huge stone slab, is very old and can be up to thousands of years... Several other stone altars were found ... I think these altars or "Mirror of Heaven" are related with the Kernos,  huge circular stone with 34 circular depressions found in the Palace of Malia, Crete, dedicated to the cult of fertility.

* ENRICO MATTIEVICH. Born in 1938 in the Italian city of Fiume, now Rijeka - Croatia. In 1949 he emigrated to Peru with her parents. He began his higher studies in Physics and Mathematics at the Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos in Lima, where he was Professor of Experimental Physics. PhD in Physics, Brazilian Center for Physics Research, 1974.

When the Nazis were in Brazil



A wooden cross with the Nazi swastika marks the tomb of the German Joseph Greiner on a shore in Rio Jari, near the waterfall of Santo Antonio. This is a hidden history - almost unknown - The route of Nazism in Amapa... 

AMAPA state. In the mid 1930's, a German expedition, led by German Otto Schulz-Kampfhenkel, entered the Jari River with the supposed purpose of realize a scientific research...



 


To assist in the operation and make less unconfortable the stay in a hostile environment, full of snakes, predators, mosquitoes and other agents of tropical diseases, were recruited indigenous of Aparai tribe and - even - around of 30 woodsmen, experient jungle guides. Otto had a servant even to install his sleep hammock (for sleep)... 

Otto Schulz-Kampfhenkel and his assistants returned to Europe in 1937 taking hundreds of boxes containing furs, skulls, bones, teeth, feathers and bodies preserved in alcohol, materials destinated to the museums of natural sciences in Germany... 

But it wasn't only in the Amazon that the Nazism left the mark of their presence at Brazil. At states of south and southeast of the country are also found traces of the degenerated swastika symbol - a fact that which still surprise many Brazilians. However, this reality is well known to historians...


In SÃO PAULO (state), in the rural area of "Campina do Monte Alegre" city, in the farm "Cruzeiro do Sul", there are more than 20 years, were discovered bricks and old photographs of animals marked with the cursed cross... 


SANTA CATARINA. Blumenau is a city in the Brazilian state of Santa Catarina, south of the country. It was founded by German immigrants in September 1950...

Despite being a chapter of history that Blumenau, wants to forget, there is evidence of the involvement of the population with nazist ideology, as photographs showing parades of supporters in wich the swastika appears prominently. READ MORE

"The Amazons": Some facts, some legends





Women indigenous. South-americans female, women warriors, "Amazons" in South America! The historical chronicles about "The Amazons" of the "New World" is often slighted by scholars, because the narratives of travel, many times, seem to be exaggerated or much fanciful.


"Amazons", a tribe, a nation in the tropical jungle, in the equatorial rain florest is an absurd! It known that the myth of "The Amazons" belongs, mainly, to a most ancient mythology: "The Amazons", the tribe of Asia Minor of warriors women was transmited for the Ocident trough by the classical greek mythology. The word "amazon" has greek origin! And returning in timeline even more, a more old origin appears, persian (or "parse") and Shythian (map above) orign: the expression ha-mazan (means warriors women).




Ykanmyabas: Women without husbands


Ludwig Schewennhagen claims that the designation "The Amazons" was used by the "Amerabas" when the historic meeting took place with the fleet of Orellana. He writes: The name "Amazon" refering to the lower basin of the great river, the region between the mouth of the Xingu River and the mouth of the river Parentins is antiga. At the epoch of the arrive of european navigators, the tribe of the Tupinambás already used to call "Amazonas", the region of the lower course of this river... (SCHWENNHAGEN, 1986 - p 37)

Nevertheless, nor the more dazzled or perplex among the cronists that faced the astonishing exuberance of the Amazon rainforest, suggested that the native used the term "Amazonas" to talk about the tribe of women warriors. For the natives of that jungle, these women were "The Ykamyabas" (Icamiabas, that means "women withou husbands"), among other indigenous terms like "coniupuiaras" (konyu-pupyaras, Great Ladies).




Muiraquitã. Theodoro Sampaio, 1920.


Resistance of the Matriarchy

Leaving by side the sphere of the mythology, considering the traditional knowledge of cultural anthropology, is possible to understand the tribes of warriors women, in different parts of the world like the remaining reality of the archaic matriarchal societies.

In the case of brazilian indigenous nations, oral culture of the people confirms that in a remote past, the tribes were under the matriarchal power. Anthropologists, like Claude Levi Strauss for example, have colected numerous legends that preserve the history of how the men, after a long time beeing dominated by the women, conspired and took political and economic power reversing the social roles. Much possibly, many women don't accepted the new conditions. These, can have created a dissidence in the form of closed female societies .


In "Relation abrégée d'un voyage fait dans l'intérieur de l'Amérique méridionale depuis la côte de la mer du Sud jusqu'aux côtes du Brésil et de la Guyane, en descendant la rivière des Amazones" (1745. Something like: Brief account of a journey to the interior of Brazil from the coast south towards the Guyana, sailing down the Amazon river), Charles-Marie de La Condamine (1701-1774), french scientist and explorer, exposes his theorie about the warriors women of South America. He doesn't need of Atlanteans or Phoenicians to explain which he understand like a natural social phenomenon. La Condamine writes:

...if, in some historic time, could has existed Amazons in the world, this was at America, where wandering life of the wives, coerced to accompany their husbands, often engaged in making war, could make awake the ideia of flee, of to rebel, searching the stability and independence. To flee to the slave condition and beast of cargo. A resolution like this nothing has of extraordinary.

More natural would still be an elite matriarchal refuse submit themself under command of his former lieutenants. Let's meditate...

The Brazil's flying rivers



AMAZON – Flying rivers are invisible courses of water, chains of vapor that pass above us, without anyone realizing it. These celestial rivers are formed by the waters that evaporate of the Amazon basin. The amount of water in vapor state that runs by these flying rivers is of the same order of magnitude or more than flow of the Amazon River (200 thousand cubic meters per second).
