“However, there is no other account at the time from other travelers to the region that mentions the particular "whiteness'' of the Natives in Chachapoya. These comments have led to claims, not supported by Cieza de León's chronicle, that the Chachapoyas were blond-haired and European in appearance. The chronicle's use of the term "white" here predates its emergence as a racial classification. Another Spanish author, Pedro Pizarro, described all indigenous Peruvians as "white." Although some authors have quoted Pizarro saying that Chachapoyas were blond, these authors do not quote him directly; instead they quote remarks attributed to him and others by race scientist Jacques de Mahieu in support of his thesis that Vikings had brought civilization to the Americas. Following up on these claims, anthropologist Inge Schjellerup examined the remains of Chachapoyans and found them consistent with other ancient Peruvians. She found, for example, a universal occurrence of shovel-shaped upper incisors and a near-complete absence of the cusp of Carabelli on upper molars — characteristics consistent with other indigneous peoples and inconsistent with Europeans.”

>> Right now as I’m writing this, I’m super pleased with what I’m reading. I know the information is totally strange and is contradictory to anons, but, personally, I strongly believe everything about it; from the blond hair, to the European white skin to the consistness with the indigenous people is correct. Yes, there is an explanation to all of this. And I’m sure glad I just found another piece that consolidates what was a theory, but now, with adding each piece, it’s getting stronger.

“According to the analysis of the Chachapoyas objects made by the Antisuyo expeditions of the Instituto de Arqueología Amazónica, the Chachapoyas do not exhibit Amazon cultural tradition but one more closely resembling an Andean one. Given that the terrain facilitates peripatric speciation, as evidenced by the high biodiversity of the Andean region, the physical attributes of the Chachapoyas are most likely reflecting founder effects, assortative mating, and/or related phenomena in an initially small population sharing a relatively recent common ancestor with other indigenous groups.”

>> This is getting more and more interesting and it’s confirming more and more what I’ve found. Isn’t this another way of saying the Chachapoyas were keeping their blood, or should I say their BLOODLINE PURE? And just to spice it up a bit for the anons: Did you know that until the Armenian Genocide took place, very few, I mean terribly few Armenians, married non-Armenians? It was one of the things that surprised me about Armenians. For CENTURIES, Armenians ONLY married Armenians to keep their blood pure. If an Armenian married a Russian or an Iranian or a Greek etc….well, it could be done, but the person marrying to the OUTSIDE, was treated 99.99% of the time as an outcast and it was considered as a great tabboo.

And don’t jump on the conclusion that the Armenians and the Chachapoyas were Devil worshipers. They were not. This has another meaning = they knew their ORIGINS, they knew what WAS IN their BLOOD – or at least that it had some sort of importance in it.

“The anthropomorphous sarcophagi resemble imitations of funeral bundles provided with wooden masks typical of the "Middle Horizon", a dominant culture on the coast and highlands, also known as the Tiwanaku–Wari culture. The "mausoleums" may be modified forms of the chullpa or pucullo, elements of funeral architecture observed throughout the Andes, especially in the Tiwanaku and Wari cultures.”

>> These are very beautiful. Just a thought anons: Look carefully at those anthropomorphous sarcophagi, don’t they look like watchful/protective guardians to you? Standing there silently on the Cliff edge, like a sentinel, don’t they look like guardian ancestors?

“Population expansion into the Amazonian Andes seems to have been driven by the desire to expand agrarian land, as evidenced by extensive terracing throughout the region. The agricultural environments of both the Andes and the coastal region, characterized by its extensive desert areas and limited soil suitable for farming, became insufficient for sustaining a population like the ancestral Peruvians, which had grown for 3000 years.

This theory has been described as "mountainization of the rain forest" for both geographical and cultural reasons: first, after the fall of the tropical forests, the scenery of the Amazonian Andes changed to resemble the barren mountains of the Andes; second, the people who settled there brought their Andean culture with them. This phenomenon, which still occurs today, was repeated in the southern Amazonian Andes during the Inca Empire, which projected into the mountainous zone of Vilcabamba, raising examples of Inca architecture such as Machu Picchu.”

>> When the waters of the Great Flood SLOWLY receded, it’s only natural for it to have more land “emerge” out from under the water, which in turn will see changes and shifts the Flora and the Fauna. The Andean region is no exception.

“Characteristics

The architectural model of the Chachapoyas is characterized by circular stone constructions as well as raised platforms constructed on slopes. Their walls were sometimes decorated with symbolic figures. Some structures such as the monumental fortress of Kuelap and the ruins of Cerro Olán are prime examples of this architectural style.

Chachapoyan constructions may date to the 9th or 10th century; this architectural tradition still thrived at the time of the Spanish conquest of the Inca Empire until the latter part of the 16th century. To be sure, the Incas introduced their own style after conquering the Chachapoyas, such as in the case of the ruins of Quchapampa in Leimebamba District.

The presence of two funeral patterns is also typical of the Chachapoyas culture. One is represented by sarcophagi, placed vertically and located in caves that were excavated at the highest point of precipices. The other funeral pattern was groups of mausoleums constructed like tiny houses located in caves worked into cliffs.

Chachapoyan handmade ceramics did not reach the technological level of the Moche or Nazca cultures. Their small pitchers are frequently decorated by cordoned motifs. As for textile art, clothes were generally colored in red. A monumental textile from the precincts of Gran Pajatén had been painted with figures of birds. The Chachapoyas also used to paint their walls, as an extant sample in the tunnels of San Antonio in Luya Province reveals. These walls represent stages of a ritual dance of couples holding hands.
