“Religious art

Religious art is reflective of the landscape around the Chavin and everyday experiences they lived through, including that which can be affiliated with religious practices. Art implied that there were certain deities within the Chavin culture, as well as symbols indicative of ritualistic activities. Lithic art, for example, indicates that processions were important to Chavin ritual.[28] Other artistic expressions included images of jaguars and hybrid humans with felines, avians, and crocodilian features.[13] These in particular are done through artistic interpretations and were believed to have been done by shamans under the influence of the psychedelic drugs. In addition to animals, art reflected plant life, including images of the cacti used as a psychedelic drug.

>> I find these hybrids interesting. I’ve read about (((them))) experimenting and trying to mix human genes with animal genes. It is one of things that have been really hard and harsh for me in this awakening. It is not confirmed of course, no direct evidence. Just suspecious from my part, and to make it worse, Patricia Piccinini has sculptures that…..turn my stomach. I’m going to leave it to anons to check them out. I’ve included only 2 pictures with this drop because this research tunnel is more than I can handle and it makes me sick, literally. So I’m going to leave it to your own discretion if you want to go into this.

I found out something about Piccinini = she is not a creative artist, but a reproductive artist. When I did my digs (the old ones) I was looking at beyond what I had immediately under my eyes. Kinda reading between the lines and trying to see “through” (((them))). What I found out is that what is SEEN is COPIED in ART and it not CREATIVE = it does not come from imagination. We all know about the Pool of Biltmore painting and the others that are like it. I had MADE A MISTAKE in the old thread while digging, thinking these painting were from Patricia Piccinini. It turned out they are from Biljana Djurdjevic. I made a mistake anons back then, and I’m correcting it now. But what I found out about both of them is that they copied what they saw. Just make a visual comparison to the wallpaper in Djerdjuvic painting and the one in Belcourt Mansion; and then to the fabric of curtains and seats in Marble House. Both owned by Alva Vanderbilt just like she lived in Biltmore. Alva was a collector of Bourbon stuff. I know I made a mistake and confused both artists but this doesn’t mean the main point I was trying to make was wrong = both artists are not creative but copy what they see. I present my appologies to the reader about the mistake I did back then. So I’m thinking maybe these “hybrids” supposedly seen because of hallucinjic plants MIGHT not be part of a hallucination but part of something else. I don’t want to get into that for now. I might discuss this later on when I talk about the cataclysm and its root.

“Deities

Deities were an important element in Chavín religious practice. Most important to the Chavín was the Lanzón, the most central deity in Chavín culture, making the Lanzón central to religious practices.[28] It is believed to be a founding ancestor who had oracle powers.[29] The statue of the Lanzón was carved into a large stone and was found within the Old Temple.[28] It was originally in the rectangular chamber,[28] and is considered to be the focal point of the Old Temple. It is carved out of stone and stands at 4.5 meters tall.[29] The Lanzón is also represented in the New Temple. Other deities reflected the landscape around the Chavín, including animals in nature and the cosmos, and included figures such as crested eagles, hawks, serpents, crocodiles (caymans), and jaguars. They were intermingled with human aspects, becoming more of a hybrid. The Chavín were also interested in binaries and manipulating them, such as showing men and women, the sun and moon, and the sky and water in the same image.

Religious figures

Religious figures played a role in the Chavin religious ritual. In general, individuals higher up in the societal hierarchy had control over the management of the ritual activities and brought the Chavin ritual into the society.[28] Shamans are most commonly understood to be the primary religious figure. Leaders managed daily secular functioning, and it corresponded with authority figures leading from a small group, rather than having one individual as the head figure.[29] They lived close to the temple in residential buildings. Leaders demonstrated skills in understanding the supernatural world with the ability to manipulate it, thus making them stand out to be a religious figure.”

>> I still see the concept of King-Priest in the Chavin culture.

Next I’m going to check out Chavin de Huantar: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chav%C3%ADn_de_Huantar

Chavín de Huántar is an archaeological site in Peru, containing ruins and artifacts constructed as early as 1200 BCE and occupied by later cultures until around 400–500 BCE by the Chavín, a major pre-Inca culture. The site is located in the Ancash Region, 250 kilometers (160 mi) north of Lima, at an elevation of 3,180 meters (10,430 ft), east of the Cordillera Blanca at the start of the Conchucos Valley. Chavín de Huántar has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Some of the Chavín relics from this archaeological site are on display in the Museo de la Nación in Lima and the Museo Nacional de Chavín in Chavin itself.

Occupation at Chavín de Huántar has been carbon dated to at least 3000 BCE, with ceremonial center activity occurring primarily toward the end of the second millennium, and through the middle of the first millennium BC. While the fairly large population was based on an agricultural economy, the city's location at the headwaters of the Marañón River, between the coast and the jungle, made it an ideal location for the dissemination and collection of both ideas and material goods. This archeological site is a large ceremonial center that has revealed a great deal about the Chavín culture. Chavín de Huántar served as a gathering place for people of the region to come together and worship.[1] The transformation of the center into a valley-dominating monument had a complex effect; it became a pan-regional place of importance. People went to Chavin de Huantar as a center: to attend and participate in rituals, consult an oracle, or enter a cult.

Findings at Chavín de Huántar indicate that social instability and upheaval began to occur between 500 and 300 BCE, at the same time that the larger Chavín civilization began to decline. Large ceremonial sites were abandoned, some unfinished, and were replaced by villages and agricultural land. At Chavín de Huántar, no later than 500 BCE, a small village replaced the Circular Plaza. The plaza was occupied by a succession of cultural groups, and residents salvaged building stones and stone carvings to use in house walls. Multiple occupation floors indicate the village was continuously occupied through the 1940s.”

“Site description

The Chavin civilization was centered on the site of Chavin de Huantar, the religious center of the Chavin people and the capital of the Chavin culture. The temple is a massive flat-topped pyramid surrounded by lower platforms. It is a U-shaped plaza with a sunken circular court in the center. The inside of the temple walls are decorated with sculptures and carvings. Chavin de Huantar was constructed over many stages starting prior to 1200 BCE, with most major construction over by 750 BCE. The site continued in use as a ceremonial center until around 500 BCE, but prior to 400 BCE its primary religious function had ceased, and the site was occupied by casual residents of the highly distinct cultural tradition, Huaraz. During its heyday, Chavin de Huantar was used as a religious center for ceremonies and events, perhaps a home for an oracle. The site contains a number of major structures, including Temples A, B, C and D, and areas and buildings designated as the Major Plaza, the Circular Plaza, the Old Temple and New Temple, although the latter two designations are no longer accurate in light of recent research advances.”
