Leyendas de mi pieza: La leyenda del desaguadero - Parte 1

La riqueza y la corrupción en Tiahuanaco

• En Tiahuanaco, la abundancia era tal que no existían pobres, lo que llevó a una falta de caridad y un endurecimiento del corazón entre sus habitantes.

• Los sentidos de los tiahuanacotas se perfeccionaron para el placer, pero esto les cerró los ojos del alma, impidiéndoles distinguir entre el bien y el mal.

• El gran dios Pachacámac observaba con tristeza cómo su creación se entregaba al desenfreno, sintiéndose abandonado por aquellos a quienes había colmado de dones.

Diálogo entre dioses

• Juno, otro dios presente, mostraba alegría perversa ante la situación de Tiahuanaco y aconsejaba a Pachacámac actuar con severidad.

• Pachacámac rechazó la idea de castigar a sus criaturas, argumentando que su bondad es infinita y aún podía guiarlos hacia el bien.

La decisión de intervenir

• A pesar de las advertencias sobre la ingratitud humana, Pachacámac decidió bajar a la ciudad en forma humana para intentar redirigir a su pueblo hacia el camino correcto.

• Se comprometió a mostrarles los castigos que les amenazaban si continuaban en su egoísmo.

La llegada del hombre misterioso

• Un día festivo en Tiahuanaco fue interrumpido por la llegada de un hombre extraordinario que afirmaba ser oriundo de un país lejano.

• Este hombre fue recibido con honores; celebraciones incluían banquetes lujosos con alimentos exquisitos y bebidas servidas en copas doradas.

Impacto en la comunidad

• A pesar de ser extranjero, hablaba perfectamente el idioma local y rápidamente ganó afecto entre los ciudadanos quienes lo consideraban un embajador importante.

• Fue llevado triunfalmente al palacio sagrado donde se preparó para ser presentado ante todo el pueblo.

Arrival of the Dignitary and Festivities

The Grand Entrance

• A military escort surrounds the dignitary as he makes a majestic entrance, climbing the stairs to take his reserved place of honor.

• The senior dignitary approaches with a warm greeting, which is met with enthusiastic cheers from the crowd.

Celebration Begins

• The royal festivities commence with servants distributing a golden liquor called "kino," starting with a toast in honor of the guest before serving everyone else.

• As excitement builds, attendees quickly become intoxicated, losing focus on the honored guest amidst their revelry.

The Foreigner's Disappointment

Attempt to Address the Crowd

• The foreigner, observing the crowd's descent into excess, tries to regain their attention but is ignored as they pursue their pleasures.

• Feeling defeated by this first attempt at intervention, he retreats quietly from the scene to reflect on his disappointment.

Mission of Redemption

• Despite previous failures, he gathers resolve and addresses the people about their moral decay and impending divine wrath if they do not change their ways.

• He passionately speaks about Pachacamac's sorrow over humanity's blindness and warns them of calamities that will befall them if they continue down this path.

Miraculous Signs and Rejection

Displaying Divine Power

• In response to continued rejection, Pachacamac decides to demonstrate supernatural wonders to convince the stubborn populace.

Signs of Warning

• During a festival where alcohol was served, it was noted that supplies ran out unexpectedly, causing distress among partygoers who craved more drink.

• On another occasion during a wedding celebration for twelve princes, an eclipse plunged everything into darkness, instilling fear among attendees.

Escalation of Events

Catastrophic Consequences

• Amidst chaotic celebrations in a temple dedicated to sensuality, a massive monolith collapses onto hundreds of participants due to mysterious forces at play.

Ignored Warnings

• Instead of heeding these signs as warnings from their god through the foreigner’s words, Tiahuanaco’s inhabitants blame him for these disasters instead.

The Foreigner's Fate

Outrage Against the Apostle

• Fueled by anger towards him for perceived misfortunes since his arrival, some citizens decide to expel him violently from their city by throwing him into Lake Titicaca on a fragile raft made from totora reeds.

A Miraculous Escape

• Just as disaster seems imminent when his raft approaches rocky shores due to changing winds, an extraordinary event occurs: water parts magically allowing safe passage southward across high plains toward Lake Titicaca after traveling approximately 300 km before disappearing mysteriously upon arrival at its destination.

The Curse of Pachacámac: A Tale of Defeat and Consequences

The Unleashing of Nature's Fury

• The curse of Pachacámac symbolizes the confession of defeat, unleashing catastrophic elements as promised on the summit, where two rival gods contested their power.

• Storm clouds unleashed torrential rains upon the city, accompanied by thunder and lightning, while avalanches descended from high mountains, overwhelming buildings and drowning the last living beings not yet punished by nature's wrath.

The Aftermath of Defeat

• In this trial, Pachacámac, the creator god, succumbed to his fate, forever lost among salty waters; humanity was left without the bountiful fertility that once characterized their existence.

• One deity emerged victorious and imposed harsh conditions on Earth; frost and hail became constant threats to crops as winter nights grew increasingly severe due to Juno's chilling breath.

Lessons for Future Generations

• The lake that once covered a great metropolis receded further away, leaving ruins as a stern reminder of human arrogance and excesses.

• Key takeaways include geographical insights about the Desaguadero River flowing south from Lake Titicaca and moral reflections emphasizing that powerful nations neglecting hard work and virtue are doomed to decline.
