What is Marcahuasi?
Marcahuasi is a sacred mountain site in the Peruvian Andes. Standing high at the elevation of 14000 feet Marcahuasi is a very distinct to other plateaus. The energy there is very high. Mysterious things happen. People have spiritual transformations. Many claim UFO sightings or contacts with ETs.
The plateau is one mountain of rock and wandering around you see many sculptures and monuments, faces in the rock or made out of it. It is a literally a museum of monuments that were constructed by some ancient civilization, probably not human at all.
What is so special about Marcahuasi?
I would say that Marcahuasi has a spirit of its own. It has a different energy and that can be felt. I would say this energy is powerful, very very ancient and serene.
It is not easy to stay here for longer periods of time. Physically the environment is quite challenging- it is high altitude, it is merciless sun of the day and the cold of the night. There is no water to drink (apart from a little stream below Marca) and the climate is very dry. The first days of stay are hardest due to the adaptation to the altitude and it is normal to feel the pressure in the head and be unable to sleep in the night. Altitude sickness gets easier with every day because your body adapts. Your body starts adapting to the lack of the oxygen in the air and in the beginning you need to breathe more and take extra breaths but with days you get used to this too and you can move around much faster.
What you don´t really adapt to is the sun and the cold. If you stay for more than a few days on the plateau of Marcahuasi you get your skin and lips burnt and dry so it is good to have some protection on your skin.
These are the physical discomforts. You may have inner spiritual discomforts and transformations too. You may have feelings and sensations you have never had before, both good and bad. Your moods may be changing more than normal. It is normal to have bursts of crying or laughing as your inner self is getting cleared out of the spiritual blockages. Well this is the healing that Marcahuasi gives. It makes us get closer to our true selves and skyrockets spiritual growth.
Dreams in Marcahuasi are different too. More powerful. I definitely feel that Marcahuasi is teaching and affecting us through the dreams.
Marcahuasi speaks to you. You start seeing faces and figures all around carved or made out of solid rock. Many times these figures or faces are incredibly big. If you are very active visually (like if you are a visual artist) you will see these forms and faces more than if you are not.
What is more interesting about that is the energy these monuments and statues transmit. If you are more sensitive you will be able to feel it. It is as if every monument has a different spirit or vibration that really feels different and affects you in a different way. Each monument teaches you and affects you subliminally and beyond mental understanding it speaks to you.
If you spend more time in Marcahuasi you will start seeing replicas of the same figures and monuments but in different places. That is another very interesting thing. You can see the same face in a completely different place in Marcahuasi, far away . You will recognize it visually and from the same energy it transmits. What is very interesting too is that this same monument you will see from another place of evolution, if that does make sense. It feels like these monuments are evolving and in one replica of the monument you can see aspects of it that you were not aware before earlier.
What do these sculptures and monuments teach? The first words that come to my mind to answer this would be ¨the history of the universe¨ and then ¨evolution of consciousness¨. Indeed, when you walk around Marcahuasi you feel as if in the gigantic museum, a museum of the earth, cosmos and ourselves.
I have spent a lot of time on the plateau. By now I should have known what these monuments show and teach. However, I don´t. What I can say though is that they teach on the subliminal level and with the mind you will not be able to understand it. It feels too that knowing them and learning from them makes you understand yourself and your history, your evolution better.
I know that now as you read these words they do not make so much sense to you. You have to experience Marcahuasi to know what I am saying.
There are people who say that there are no real sculptures in Marcahuasi and it is just an imagination of the mind. However, these are the people who either hadn´t ever stepped onto the plateau or who had stayed for a very little.
It is clear that many of those monuments were made by moving enormous rocks and placing them to make the sculpture. However, the size and weight of many of those rocks is just ridiculous. They are just so big! Human hand alone could not have placed those rocks in those inaccessible locations. Some sophisticated type of machinery or another type of technology or knowledge was necessary to make that.
And then, why? Why would you bother doing this incredibly difficult labour? That is a question I cannot answer.
It is also clear that these monuments were ¨constructed¨ a loooong time ago. As we know, stone grows too but very slow. The changes-deformations in the rocks of the monuments show that they were constructed probably tens or hundreds of thousands of years ago. This is my calculation.
So the place is very ancient. You can feel it in the air, you can feel it in the energy. It is ancient and serene.
Another thing that it is hard to explain are the numerous ruins around the plateau of Marcahuasi. Evidently these ruins date much less than the sculptures themselves. I would calculate them to be 500 to 2000 years old but again I am not an expert in this. Villagers from San Pedro de Casta (village close to the plateau) say these ruins are preincan and date to the time of Christ (2000 years ago).
What type of ruins do you find on Marcahuasi plateau?
Well, there are 2 poblation centers like towns designed for people to live there and store food and things as well. They could have also been a site for astronomical observations.
Another interesting place is the fortress in the furthest and most inaccessible part of Marcahuasi. It is clearly a military fortress. But why? Why would you construct a fortress so far away from everything, so high in the mountains? I think this was to protect the elite class, definitely not the ordinary people.
Another thing worth mentioning are the tombs. There are numerous tombs around the plateau and you could find bones and skulls inside. Most of them are already empty because villagers or tourists would take those bones or whatever they would find. However, I know some more inaccessible and harder to reach places around Marcahuasi where you still find well preserved tombs with human bones inside but it is not easy to get there.
I have also found human bones resting in different places but not in tombs, covered with the earth. If you start digging you would find entire human skeletons. My explanation would be that people of the higher class (elite, priests, leaders) would have tombs constructed for them and lower class would be buried in a simpler way.
Old villagers say that when they were young many things would be found in the ruins of Marcahuasi, including artesany and even gold. However, their parents and ancestors respected the place very much and nothing was permited to take from the ruins. People thought if they did so they would die.
Another thing that this last civilization constructed (besides the small town and fortress that now are ruins) is the sophisticated irrigation system. All around the plateau you will see canals made for water to run. I think that these people had to guard the water well during the rainy season because during the Andean winter it is dry and never rains. That is also why they have constructed damps (place where the water stays and doesn´t go down the mountain).
How would they use the water, these people? Would they grow something edible on the plateau? According to some older villagers times ago their ancestors would plant some different edible roots or potatoes that are no longer found anywhere and these roots would grow in this altitude and climate. Maybe this was a part of food of those people who had lived on the plateau.
There are some lakes around the plateau. There are stories around them too. Villagers say they would see beings coming out of the lake or entering it at night. Supposedly, the lakes are doors or portals to the subterranean world or to the other dimension. Those lakes are pretty beautiful and impressive and birds like to swim in them.
Indeed, villagers are not willing to speak much about Marcahuasi. They have lived at the foot of the mountain for their whole lives and they respect the place. Not only respect, it seems as if they were afraid of it. Few would be willing to spend the night on the plateau alone. There are many stories involved and those include sightings of the UFOs, meetings with the extraterrestrials and other mysterious events. Supposedly, many people who went to Marcahuasi had never come back. Some think they have fallen from the high cliffs and died and some think they got abducted or entered another dimension or civilization.
Marcahuasi is considered a portal to other dimensions. It is widely believed that there lives a civilization of enlightened humans or higher class of beings beneath Marcahuasi and some can access it through different ways.
