Peru maya did the Inca have legends of a plumed serpent?
I'm reading stuff that apparently confuses the cultures of mesoamerica (modern Mexico, the Aztecs and Maya) with those of the Andes (modern Peru and Bolivia, Quachua and Aymara) and am trying to sort it out.
So did the people from the Andes have legends about a feathered serpent? was such a symbol used as a representation of Viracocha?
ive done some pretty extensive research on the Incas and have never come across anything that referenced a feathered serpent, but then again theirs only so much you can learn from books from our school library and the internet.
u might have some luck if you type into google (without inverted commas) "inca + serpent + feather"
that should find any documents relating them. BUT keep in mind that some websites are made my amateurs who know only a tiny bit about incas and may mix myths from other similar cultures such as aztecs and mayans.

I need help with finding an archaeological subject to study!?
I'm taking an archaeology class and my course paper will be on an archaeological culture, region, site, assemblage or artifact type. This paper is about 50% of my grade.
I'm having trouble just deciding on a topic to choose from. There is SO MUCH.
Some examples my professor included: the stone statues of Easter Island, the causes of the collapse of Classic Maya cities, the extinctions of the Neandertals, and the lines and "geoglyphs" in Peru.
I would possibly do one of the examples my professor provided unless someone can provide other interesting subjects for me to do my course paper on.
I really do find archaeology fascinating and would like help with choosing a topic. I doubt there's a topic I WOULDN'T do unless it was just too difficult.
2012 evidence how strong is the evidence for or against 2012 being the end of the world?
please include something to back you're reasons
No evidence worth a hoot at all for it.
2012 Boilerplate answer No 3.
The details behind 21 December 2012 make no sense at all. The originator of the so-called prophecy studied at the University of Chicago in Arts more than 40 years ago. He was Jose Arguelles then. He now says time is faster than light (whatever that means) and that the way we measure time is harmful to all life on Earth (how does that work?).
He now calls himself Valum Voltan and says he is the re-incarnation of a Mayan priest and lives in New Zealand, last I heard. All this stuff was based on the fact that a Mayan count of days runs out of numbers on 21 or 23 December by our calendar. That has as much to do with the Mayan counting system as anything else. The Mayans counted by 20, then by 18s then by 20 again and so on.
The Mayans were pretty fair naked eye astronomers for a stone age people and had enough sense not to predict anything at all, except maybe party time. I reckon they were smarter than Arguelles.
But crazy as Arguelles ideas are, he did not say the world would end on 21 December 2012. All he said was that this would be the beginning of a new era. That was about 20 years ago.
Since then, people who are just as batty, but in a different way have grabbed his ideas and run away with them. Terence McKenna was an habitual user of mescalin, LSD or magic mushrooms and wrote down visions. He also produced a special (mis)interpretation of the I Ching, and when it didn’t quite fit 2012 he fudged it.
Another called Nancy Lieder claimed that aliens had abducted her about 1993 and told her that a planet called X would pass close to the Earth and cause a magnetic pole shift and other damage. That would be in 2003. Since it didn't come, she started making up stories of how it was a trial to test the governments of the world and that the planet would appear later. She usually says 2012 as far as I know.
Apart from Voltan, Mc Kenna and Lieder, others have jumped on the bandwagon and have predicted everything from bees dying to collisions with stray planets. There are supposed to be alignments with the other planets or the centre of the galaxy, a photon belt, crossings of the galactic central plane and on and on none of which will happen. And dear old Nostradamus and Edgar Cayce get quoted too, as if anyone believes that stuff.
The promoters of this, including the History Channel are vicious liars and only in it for the money. They are trying to sell "survival" supplies, shelters, books, videos and what all, but to do that you have to frighten people first.

Is there scientific evidence for 2012?
What is the evidence of us all dying on the same day, December 12 2012!?
am really facinated in this idea. I know it might sound wierd but it will be really exciting that something this huge will happen in our lifespan
there really is no proof just that the myan calender ends then they think it will be a solar flare or a REALLY, REALLY BIG meteor or a flood but don't worry about it just live your life to it's fullest anyways
