There is a recurring figure in the Andean region called Viracocha—a civilizing being who came from the sea, taught humanity, and disappeared back into the sea. He is described as having white skin, a large build, a beard, and blue eyes. Rather than taking this literally, I see it as a symbolic way of saying “this being was unlike us”—a stranger from another place, or another time.
That led me to wonder:
Could Viracocha have come from a civilization based in Antarctica before the pole shift?
This theory isn’t as far-fetched as it seems.
There are claims (including those discussed in Fingerprints of the Gods) that Antarctica was once ice-free and habitable, and that crustal displacement caused it to shift suddenly to its current polar location.
If that’s the case, then Viracocha may have been one of the survivors of a cataclysmic event—someone who carried knowledge and memory to a new land. The Andes would have been geographically close before the shift, and "coming from the sea" would fit that narrative.
That made me think of the Nazca Lines.
What if they were a final message from those who remembered the lost world?
They can only be fully seen from above.
Could that be symbolic of knowledge meant to be rediscovered in the future—by those who could look from above, or from a higher level of awareness?
And then this thought struck me:
Viracocha promised to return.
What if that doesn’t mean a person will come back,
but that his civilization, long buried under ice, will come back into view?
As Antarctica melts and satellite imagery improves,
perhaps what returns is not a deity,
but a memory—the rediscovery of a civilization we’ve forgotten.
