I heard a story in a archology class about a group that would put the head on a big boat filled with golden statues depicting 'devine ideas or spirits' in a golden form.

and because they knew tht they gold was NOT REALLY the spirit or entity, and made my human hands, they would cover the chief with gold dust, put him into a boat, and launch it into a volcanic lake (in Columbia way up high).

the the chief would sink the boat, with all the gold statues, and swim to shore.

the gold would wash off and he would emerge naked without any god from the mountain lake, and the ritual would be finished.

sounds like a story, huh?

the anthropologist reports what the natives tell them, but the natives are sometimes telling parables or teaching stories. Were there really these holy priests of the Chibcha who would cover themselves in gold and emerge from the lake gold-free? or is it just a fable.

the story I heard was that searches of the lake by divers found no gold. But it's a very deep lake.

so you cover yourself in gold to depict the diety, and you wash it off because you reallize you aren't that, and couldn't be that, nor could you make statues that could really show their forms.

sounds like a story. not a bad one.

the reason gold was used in S. America and Central America is that it was very plentiful and very easy to use to make elaborate and absolutely stunning items of extreme beauty.

the Colombian Highland Natives supposedly didn't care about the 'value' of the gold.

the value of the 'item' was for the purposes of demonstration. If you know what 'sand painting' is, and how it is a private affair and the 'artwork' is destroyed as part of a healing process, perhaps the Colombian highland natives use of gold was similar to the Navajo use of colored sand.

It might be that the gold was the easiest way to wrap the body. They would use gold foil much like we use alluminum foil.

of course we do not use it for bodies.

So that is the mystery? Why did they wrap the bodies?

remember we usually cothe bodies when we bury them too.

so they did it perhaps to make the disceased look like a god at the time of the funeral procedures.

so they would use gold instead of cloth.

just spit balling.

I think that the rewrite of History is to make all nobels be discredited as if they were, and to pervert the moderns.

They would have rejected the evil that is why they were Christians.

the idea that all of the Christian Kings over a long span of centuries were secretly staanists seems to me far fetched.

It's somethign that evil would want us to think. It makes us doubt everything. History shows that many monarchs were great people.
