BEFORE THE EGYPTIANS [6c]
Arica, Chile. 1983. Workers digging a trench in this coastal city just seven miles from the Peruvian border make a remarkable discovery. They unearth a cemetery containing 96 mummies from the prehistoric Chinchorro culture. Scientists determine that some of the remains date back over 7,000 years, making these the oldest known mummies in the world.

“The Chinchorro were fishermen who lived along the ocean in Chile and Peru, and in fact, 4,000 years before the ancient Egyptians started doing it, the Chinchorro were mummifying their dead in South America.” – Ken Jeremiah (Author, Eternal Remains) |
|
“The Chinchorros would open up the cavity of the body. They would take out all the They would put sand and grass and other things inside the body. They would carefully cover it with mud and then they’d make mud masks over their face. It was a very elaborate system, embalming these things.” – Edwin Barnhart, Ph.D. (Archaeologist / Dir., Maya Exploration Ctr.) |
The Chinchorro method of mummification is strikingly similar to the process used by the Egyptians thousands of years later. But why was this strange burial ritual continued, not just in Egypt, but in civilizations across the ancient world?
El Castillo de Huarmey, Peru. January, 2013. Researchers announce that they’ve discovered an archaeological rarity an untouched, 1,300-year-old royal tomb from the Wari Empire. A predecessor to the Inca, the Wari civilization thrived in central Peru between 600 and 1100 AD before mysteriously disappearing. Inside the tomb was a treasure trove of gold, textiles, artifacts and 63 mummified women, including three Wari queens.

“From the three ‘royaled’ women, one of them had earrings that had images of winged beings. These winged, anthropomorphic birds that we see in religious art happen from the very earliest art we know of in South America.” – Edwin Barnhart, Ph.D. (Archaeologist / Dir., Maya Exploration Ctr.) |
|
“And that’s something also that you see at Tiahuanaco, where winged beings are running towards Viracocha in the center of the famous Door of the Sun. So, why are these winged beings, then, on jewelry with the Wari people? And we find that with Egyptians, too.” – David Childress (Author, Technology of the Gods) |
|
“The Egyptian god Thoth is depicted in Egyptian iconography as a half-bird, half-man deity. And it was Thoth who gave the knowledge of mummification to Isis. What’s interesting is that there are other cultures around the world that also have half-bird, half-human beings that are treated as gods. This suggests that there was some global culture of extraterrestrial visitors here who were teaching this mummification as a technology.” – David Wilcock (Author/Filmmaker), |
Is it possible that the Wari images of winged gods really represent extraterrestrials who came down from the sky? Did they visit not just Peru, but ancient cultures across the world? And does the fact that these images are found on Wari mummies suggest that this was a science brought to planet earth by otherworldly beings?
Utcubamba Valley, Peru. Perched on a mountain cliff in this isolated region of the Amazon, stand six massive, clay sarcophagi known by locals as simply the “ancient wise men.” Researchers estimate these eight-foot clay coffins were constructed between 1100 and 1300 AD. They were built to house the mummified remains of elite members of the Chachapoya tribe, a pre-Columbian civilization of fierce warriors.
|
“So we don’t know much about the Chachapoyas people, who they were. They seemed to be very different from the other tribes in Peru and just exactly where they had come from and where they went is today, a complete mystery.” – David Childress (Author, Technology of the Gods) |
|
“I don’t know of any other culture in South America that created sarcophaguses or coffins. These coffins were big. And they were made in the form of humans. Not unlike the sarcophaguses in Egypt.” – Edwin Barnhart, Ph.D. (Archaeologist / Dir., Maya Exploration Ctr.) |
|
“The Chachapoya mummies were buried in a fetal position, and this is interesting. The fetal position suggests the possibility that the mummification rite was going to lead to a new birth. It’s like the idea that there’s a new incubation, and this may explain why we see mummification not just with the Chachapoya, but we also see it in Egypt, and this mummification technology on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean does suggest that these people are after some sort of goal that we don’t yet understand in modern times.” – David Wilcock (Author/Filmmaker), |
Could mummification have been an attempt by the ancients to not only preserve the body after death, but to enable the dead to be reborn? A technique used by extraterrestrials to achieve power over death? Perhaps further clues can be found by examining mummies made not from the bodies of the dead, but from the bodies of people buried alive.
