Paragraph : The triple enclosure and the templar

 

If the Japanese  brought the svastika to America , if the ancient Chinese the simple cross with equal sides, the templar cross didn’t follow the transpacific way.

 

The socalled  special “ templar cross” , easily to find in the Mexican iconography came from the far East , before being diffused to south America , and is found  most of the time under the form of rural engravings , following the Caribbean coast until  Brazil , and Bolivia until Peru. The Columbian rural engravings are very frequent.

The engravings into the rocks at Chaquya, Tunja, Parama, even Tiahuanaco and Peru in general , all represent the same kind of cross.

 

                                                   

 

At the same time Peruvian tocapos are found on many places to the south together with those cross engravings.

 

                                                    

 

 

 

Clearly of European origin, this Nordic iconography going south to Tiahuanaco, may belong to European Templars, who seems to have token it within  … their American exile. The idea of a Templars presence in the  Americas is not new. It is a solution to consider as an explanation for the appearing of the Tecpantlacs in the New World by the end of the 13th century.  Their organization and usages are described in ancient manuscripts from pre – Hispanic Mexico. In a nice study , published in 1902, Eugène Beauvois , examined this problem extensively . ( See his «  Les Templiers de l’ancient  Mexique et leur origine Européenne « in Museum , nouvelle série, Vol 3 , Louvain , 1902 , p185 – 224 ).

 

Other chroniclers and authors like Motolinia , Chimalphin, Lopez de Gomara , Juan de Torquemada ( and others ) ,  tell us the arrival in prehispanic Mexico , in  the year 2 of the rosetree  (this is 1194 – 1195 ) , of a group of tribes with strange religious conceptions, and probably white people.

 

The sources of this chroniclers  were Codex Vaticanus nr. 3738 and Tellerianus

(codex  : internet URL today 2008  http://www.famsi.org/research/graz/vaticanus3738/index.html )

Today (1975 ) this are still the basic documents for researchers studying the Tecpantlacs.

 

In summary , the Tecpantlacs ( in Mexican : “ the people of the temple “ ) have a theocratic organization. They were living in a society divided in 3 social categories :

 

The nonoalcas or nonohualcs , the majority, called the “mute” as allusion to their incomprehensible language, the people of humble condition ( they only speak to their neighbours in presence of their chiefs) , generally it were cultivators or handworkers.

 

The Teoltiks, “ messengers of the Gods”, men with a divine face, carrying the Eyes of God and executing the religious offices. Torquenada says about this cult executives , that they asserted coming from a country of the “rising sun”.

 

The Tlacochalcs , “more noble than the nobles”, free of any feodal taxes , free of contributions , protected by the supreme God. The Texcaltipoca were the “warriors of the temple”. Some executed the magistracy of God, other were laic dignitaries.

 

The 3 categories of Tecpantlacs strangely corresponds the Templars organization, having the same corresponding categories of servants :

 

The Knights , Temple soldiers, equivalent to the laic warriors or ascetes , that were the Tlacochalcs.

 

The priests , identical to the Teoltiks.

 

The brothers and other affiliates to the order, with the same conditionings as the Nonoalcas

(see Gérard Serbanesco, “L’Histoire de l’ordre des Templiers et les croisades, Paris , 1969).

 

We may add to this the analysis of the general name the Tecpantlacs , coming from :

 

Nahua tecpan : temple

Tlacatl : men, people

Teocalli : sanctuary, house of God , temple

Tecpan : sacred house, sacred enclosure of God ( or the Gods)

 

 To better fix the relation Tecpantlacs – Templars , two aspects must be further analysed :

 

The Chronology Mexico/Europe

The itinary followed to Mexico from Europe

 

Lord Kingsborough dated the beginning of the  Tecpantlacs  immigration , in years 2 of the rose - tree , corresponding our years 1194 – 1195. A more precise analysis of the texts is in favour of the thesis of Don Domingo de San Anton et Muñon Chimalpahin Quauhtlehuanitzin

(see Annales (translated by R;Simeon), Paris, 1889). They put the departure of the Tecpantlacs to Mexico  in year 1 tecpatl ( year of the Silex) , this is our year 1272. Other precisions of the same source give also the year 1294 for a renewal of the Viking discoveries.

At that time an important discovery date is also situated. The Annales of Iceland , mentioning the data of the famous Saga of the bishop of Hols (see Biscopa Saegur, Copenhague, 1857, p 795 ) , announces a renewed discovery of the Nijia Land ( Terra Nova)  : in 1294.

Those facts and the interests of the French fisherman of cod comes together here.

By the Fishing – Charter of 1143 of Thierry Compte des Flandres , the French started fishing into English, then Irish , then  Icelands , … waters. This French fishermen and the Templars had no secrets for eachother , the Templars having their own port in La Rochelle.

(see Pierre de Sermoise , Les missions secrètes de Jehanne la Pucelle , Paris , 1970, p 238 )

 

                                                                               

 

We may add to this , that about 1304 , new immigrants arrived in America , called the Poyanthecs, mixing with  previous ones , called the Chalcs . The military and theocratic power of the Chalcs extended to Mexico in 1297, where they start controlling the region of Xochimilco. The Chalcs assisted in the cultural evolution of the Chichimecs, before falling into ruin and debacle around 1405 – 1410. The Mexican iconography gives us an image of the warrior – king of Texcoco, the brave Nezahualcoyotzin. As wise as brave  he returned in the 15th century to the beliefs of his ancestors … the Templars, believes lost since long. He alimented a lot of traditions and legends with his ideas about God, supreme and unique, creator of all existant, traditions of Paradise and Hell, immortality of the Soul. It were also the Chalcs , who for Father Diego Duran , left to the people of Ocuiltuco, near of the Xochimilcs,

“ a great holy book with characters different from Mexican and Spanish ( see Diego Duran, Historia de los Indios, Tome I, p 85 ). Perhaps it was a Latin of Hebrew text, or an hermetic work of templar origin , like the one consulted by the old Quilatzli for Moctezuma when the Spanish arrived. Perhaps to show colored pictures of white men, weapons, horses and ships similar to the Spanish. (see Diego Duran, Historia de los Indios, tome II, p 12-13).

 

 

But if the chronology allows such associations with the Templars , what was the eventual itinary from Europe to America?

 

Here the codices and chroniclers are extremely clear : the immigrants came from a country (American view) over the great ocean of the East, called Tlapallan Chicomoztoc. The author of local origin , says that after having left their native country, they went on shells (local name for ship) to cross the great divine see (this is the see from where waiting the return of the mythical Quetzalcoalt), to enter then a giant river (probably the Saint-Laurence river). After entered deeply into the north American region , the immigrants left the river to turn to Orient. They crossed the ocean. Eugène Beauvois mentions also that 3 legendary kings of the Quiches and the Cakchiquels also crossed the ocean to the East to be crowned. Arriving a second time in America , the immigrants descended at Michinlaco ( literal fish place , probably Saint-Laurence river or Terra Nova) to adore  Achihuatl , “ the Great Lady (mistress) of the waters “ (probably Maria Stella Maris ) . Then taking again the see they came via an island to Mexico at Tullan. The story of Chimalpahin and other authors are full of details and many town names, but incomprehensible, unknown , impossible to locate. Anyway this traditions contains a part of the truth. It is a fact that these European people came to America to the same regions as their predecessors the Vikings , and successors the Spanish in the 14th century. It are the same places who saw coming down much earlier Celts and people of Ireland. This gives the inextricable mosaic  of local traditions  relating to successive waves of white men arrivals, men so similar and so different at the same time.

 

Anyway the Vikings (next paragraph in the book ) added extra values , little known today, to America , taking also under their account the legacy of the Tecpantlacs.

 

 

                                                                                

 

The symbol of the triple enclosure ( token from oriental symbolic, who got it from megalithic men) and used by the Templars in Jeruzalem and France, is found under the same aspect in Frances Chinon and Gisors, as in Columbia and Bolivia , as on the way of the Vikings to Paraguay. Triple enclosure and templars cross , who was able to imagine that they left one day the arsenal of the Templar symbolics, to follow the roads of a second Nordic adventure into America , and even further with  Oriental Pacific Viking voyages.

 

 

Vikings as Incas

 

 

 

The ancient chroniclers are absolutely clear on this point :

The Incas belonged to an outside dynasty who came on the throne of Cuzco to govern an existant empire, 2 centuries before the Spanish conquest.
