Of interest the Indianapolis Museum of Art has a collection of large cups from this civilization. They are highly decorated. One of them looks exactly like an amanita muscaria mushroom.

BTW, these are the guys who domesticated cocaine. It is very popular with many people around the world. It was probably very popular in ancient times as well. Egyptian mummies from one period have cocaie molecules inside the body cells ~ meaning they used it in life ~ which means somebody would have had to have brought it from the Andean highlands!!!!

So who were these intrepid narcotic "mules" ~ bet they weren't blue eyed blonds eh!??

Exiled miners of King Solomon? (Ofir?)

Pre-Incan Ruins Emerging From Peru's Clous Forests (Chachapoyas)
