The Lessons of the Stones
At first glance it may seem easy to dismiss the entire collection of engraved stones found at Ica as fakes, and accept the version put forth by the authorities that they are the work of simple artisans hoping to generate money by scamming unsuspecting tourists.
But upon more detailed examination, this plausible tale simply does not stand up to critical analysis. The local peasant who supposedly “confessed” to creating these images could not possibly have engraved so many thousands of stones, especially when the time needed to complete such a task would exceed the lifetime of a single person.
In the book “The Last Days of Tolemac“, the Oracle explains that many thousands of years ago, a highly advanced civilization once lived in Central America. According to the book, this culture was destroyed by a series of cataclysms which caused their lands to be engulfed by the surrounding sea.
According to the Oracle, their civilisation was destroyed because it had become irretrievably corrupt. As he wrote:
“Yet despite our great accomplishments over many centuries, with the passage of time our men and women grew corrupt. They began to follow the left hand path of life. As has been the case with so many other cultures that once rose to great levels of achievement on earth, the people of Tolemac began to pursue pleasure and material wealth. Economy gave way to excess and honesty gave way to expediency. Our merchants became motivated by avarice and greed. Those in authority used their power to exploit and oppress others. Our priests turned to superstition and magic to mislead the people. Our sacred ceremonies became debased and were turned instead into mass orgies involving human sacrifice.”
“Inevitably the time came when the people of Tolemac had to face the consequences of their deeds. Great earthquakes fractured the land and hurricane winds destroyed their dwellings. Whereas the great civilization of Lemuria had taken many years before it was destroyed, and Atlantis had sunk beneath the waves within the course of a single night and a day, the final destruction of Tolemac took just thirteen hours. Entire cities were swallowed up by the ocean. Today the ruins of the cities of Tolemac lie on the seabed off the island you call Cuba.”
As we have seen from earlier entries in this Blog, evidence showing the existence of sunken cities off the coast of Cuba has now been found, and they corroborate the words of the Oracle. But this was by no means the only example of a culture that was destroyed because it had become corrupt.
According to the Old Testament of the Bible a group of five towns, known as “The Cities of the Plain” located in Southern Israel, were destroyed by brimstone and fire. These cities were named Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, Zeboim and Bela.
As described in Chapter 18 of the Book of Genesis, Lot was warned by God that the people living in these cities would be destroyed because of their wicked ways, particularly their depraved sexual practices. The word sodomy serves as a modern reminder of the citizens of Sodom.
If the stones found at Ica were in fact carved by the survivors of an ancient civilization that had been destroyed by a series of natural disasters, then it becomes entirely feasible that these survivors would seek to preserve a history of their culture by carving crude images on the most enduring objects which lay at hand, namely local rocks made of “andesite”.
This would explain the enormous variety of images that have been found on these stones, ranging from the history of the people who carved them to their technological achievements as well. They would also have been likely to record the culture of the times which led up to these catastrophes.
Seen in this light, the following images which have been found on some of the stones at Ica may be highly significant, for they show scenes of sexual activity similar to that practised in the towns of Sodom and Gomorrah.
The lesson that modern researchers should perhaps learn from these stones is that human cultures rise and fall. And that societies that have fallen prey to corruption, exploitation, oppression and decay may become ripe for destruction, despite a long legacy of technological achievement.
If this is so, then these strangely carved stones of Ica could be a warning to modern man that we ourselves might be in similar peril, and that our society might also face destruction, just as others have perished in the past.
