Post #4: Time travel to the past or future
In a time travel, I would like travel to the past. I have had curiosity for my roots from my childhood, for our Latin American origins. Questions like: How could be the world in this big territory before the colonialism? How was the life and landscapes in the center zone of that territory, actually called Chile? My great great grandmother knew something about the cultures that lived in this zone formerly? Who were they? What was important for they? What kind of tales, songs or dances they had? These and other questions visit frequently my mind, so I would go to right here, Santiago or Rengo, to see all before the burn and the massacre, it means before the Spanish arrive, maybe in 1.450
I wouldn't like to stay there, because all of us know how that history ends, but I would be in that time-place for many years, I would occasionally travel to there and I would always return to the present.
Someday I read a part of a thesis from the University of Chile. The thesis was about the Promaucaes. They were called with that word by the Incas, Promaucae is a Hispanicization from two quechua words: "purun" or "purum" and "auca", it means insubordinate enemy or something like that in quechua. But these words don't identify a group of people with the same culture, it's only for name all the people that presented resistance to the Incas in that territory with something more than the violence, that people had something like a political system. So they lived from Santiago to the north of Maule River and we don't know how they called to them selves, or if they were many little towns or tribes each one with a unique culture. I'm from this piece of earth and, I'll probably never know from what/who I am. A time travel is an opportunity to see that unknown past.
I think that the more we know, the more we keep searching on "new knowing" so, that would make a loop of information. All the questions can lead to try to know "the why" of the humans in the universe, i think.
ResponderEliminarI'm very interesed on the things you said "Promaucaes"!
