What a wonderful Russian/Slavic brotherhood. So nice to see all men singing both young & old, fathers & sons singing together a traditional song.
I usually viewed stag with antlers as a masculine, male God symbol, but just recently I’ve been learning about antlered female deer in different ancient myths. And no, this is not me promoting some feminist ideas. Deer mythology pertains to both masculine & feminine.

I was watching a Russian documentary the other day, and they were talking about a myth of Karelian people. According to this myth, the birthplace of the Slavonic people was on the horns/antlers of a fawn, and her name is Mirtsana. I know it doesn’t make sense for female deer to have antlers, supposedly Doe with anthers is rare event, but it exists.

Some people say that there’s truth encoded in this myth, because the Big Dipper has a star in it that today the scientists call by the name Mitsar/Mizar, and it does resemble something like a deer.

Chachapoyas (Cloud People) were a caucasian race of people living in Peru before the Incas. The cloud people began carving settlements out of extremely dense mountain forests situated between the Maranon, and Huallaga rivers, and eventually established an impressive kingdom that spread through the northern Andes of Peru.

They are mentioned in the chronicles, and books written by Spanish priests based on stories told to them by the Inca. Books speak of an Inca emperor who marched his army to the cloud forest in 1480. He was astonished to find a great civilization there.

The stories were dismissed as legends, but an explorer name Gene Savoy took them more seriously. Savoy took a team, and for six years him and his team were exploring the hostile jungle of the Cloud Forest.

Eventually deep in the cloud forest his team came up on the hidden ruins of great stone buildings buried under centuries of jungle growth. The Incas knew about these ruins, but they were a very superstitious people, and they were afraid to come near them.

The stone round structures of the cloud people were completely different from the Inca buildings. The Incas build in rectangular linear style. Decorations on the buildings were also very different from what the Incas had. Cloud people also had cliff tombs... These cliff tombs were exactly like the ones described by the Incas legends about the cloud people.

Caucasian mummies were discovered in the Northeast of Peru. They were very tall, and appeared European. Everything that came with them, their pottery, art, clothing was different from Incas. Unfortunately, the tombs where the mummies were found have already been visited by looters, and robbed.

The fact that the mummies were tall is significant. Buried in the Spanish Chronicles, a fascinating passages describing the cloud people as tall and beautiful with fair skin and light hair. That is a very different appearance from the Inca.

Near the lake where the mummies were found, is the great fortress of Kuélap. This fortress is considered the largest stone ruins in the New World, and is made out of massive limestone blocks bigger than those used in the Egyptian Pyramids. It’s incredible walls are over 60 feet high, and stretch for more than 2/3 of a mile. This fortress is almost certainly believed to be built by the cloud people. It was built from 2 1/2 times as much granite than the Great Pyramid of Egypt. All of which was carried to a mountaintop over 9000 feet above sea level.

So the cloud people who lived in Peru over 500 years ago knew the secrets of using herbs and chemicals to preserve the human body
