The voices of the Ancients remind us what has been forgotten.

WatuqRimanka is this “Willakuy” or book, which seeks to showcase and preserve a small part of the ancient knowledge of Andean culture—or the TawaAntina culture—a forgotten body of knowledge about how the ancient cultures observed, felt, and “lived,” with the aim of preserving and safeguarding it so that it does not disappear.

This “Willakuy” or book, allows us to hear an ancient voice, a voice from the past, which speaks and reveals how the forces of “nature” are out of balance, giving rise to a way of “life” based on a fictional world of illusions.

It also speaks of the collective amnesia suffered by the inhabitants of these lands due to the horror of the events perpetrated by the invaders and the imposition of a foreign system and its traditions (t-radi-ation), which over time erased people’s identity and memory, replacing them with the invaders’ way of “life” and beliefs.

This “Willakuy”, Tale or book, begins in chapter four.
