The eastern regions of the Republic of Peru are famous for the amazingly beautiful Andes mountain belt, which has a height of over six thousand meters. The Quechua and Aymara Indians, inhabiting the foothill plains and mountain slopes, deify the Sierra - as they call the Andes.
They deify mainly because they manage to do the impossible - to manipulate fragments of rocks and boulders, when they do not want strangers to penetrate into their places of residence, hunting, and farming.
The first methods of influencing living thought on dead stones in 1895 were described by the Swiss surgeon and ethnographer Kurt Skolda, who saved the leader of one of the tribes from inflammation of the peritoneum, therefore, elevated to the rank of the second priest named Leam (Knife).
Specifically, Dr. Skolda said the following: “The sorcerers of the neighboring hostile clan made it so that large, weighing several poods, fragments of rocks began to move from the valley to the high plateau where our village was located. I was numb when I saw how the black stones, plowing furrows, like steeplejacks, slowly but surely head towards the huts of the outskirts. The stones managed to crush a couple of dwellings, crush the boy who was grazing the kids. I consider the event to be a series of mysteries."
What the sorcerers of the tribe of opponents did in response is no less mysterious. According to the doctor, no one did anything special. Ten naked men and women, holding hands, forming a chain, stood silently until the rounded boulders - bluish, with red streaks - began to move towards the hostile rocks. Having faced, they stopped them.
How effective! Monolithic fragments crumbled into rubble. Skolda writes that his friends, sorcerers, belonged to the general Peruvian sect of silent shamans. Nowadays in Peru the activity of this sect is not prohibited or allowed, equating to the pagan one. Most Peruvians are Catholics who do not want to abandon the traditional customs of their ancestors.
HOT STONES OF THE VOLGA

The Bulgars who migrated to the Volga region in the 7th century, the ancestors of the modern Tatars, along with the original culture, were armed with, in addition to fast horses, bows and arrows, a very original magical culture, according to beliefs, inherited from the forefathers of mankind. The ethnographer of the second half of the 19th century Aleksey Zamovsky left a colorful description, as he emphasized, of the traditional Tatars' Festival of playing stones, collected under the watchful eye of sorcerers in the vast steppe.
The ethnographer drew attention to an amusing circumstance. Not all stones were put into the hands of the collectors. Some, "obstinate", crawled away from them, to deep will, where they drowned. " It was impossible to touch these "fugitives" - they became so hot.
The purpose of the holiday for fellow tribesmen was clearer than clear. Here is just a small quote from Zamovsky's notes: “The sorcerers with their own hands built several pyramids from the collected stones. They commanded the people to stare at the stones. Then something happened that is difficult to contemplate on a sober head. The pyramids crumbled, the stones began to creep apart, as if playing.
After six to seven hours, the stones calmed down, forming, as I was convinced, a complete pictorial projection of the starry sky, its hollow likeness. The sorcerers used the stones and stars that same night to guess at hot burning bonfires, around which a feast was rustling. The certainty was that, thus, the fate of each person was clarified, on a par with the common tribal”.
It turns out that astrological knowledge is universal for the human race. As for self-propelled stones, they have been observed more than once in the modern Volga region. There is a hypothesis according to which strong sorcerers remotely infuse the driving forces from outside. Or for fun, or for a purpose, alas, unclear.
FLAMING STONEHENGE POST
Arnie Borty's humorous statement that even fish in the Thames can reasonably speculate about the mysterious ancient British megalithic complex Stonehenge is certainly true. So much has been written and rewritten! Despite this circumstance, Borty decided to submit his own research to the scientific community, which cannot be called anything other than sensational.
Yet, being the most honest man, he did not hide the fact that everything he saw could partly be the result of a severe feverish condition caused by a cold. "Only in part," Borty clarifies, "because the disease, having dulled visual perceptions, did not block them." Maybe the disease even sharpened your eyesight? This question was also asked by the scientist, "satisfied and puzzled by the fact that colleagues, awake in trailers standing nearby," did not even dream of anything approximate."
Opponents, of course, seized on the word "dreamed", insisting that Borty's painful condition gave out "rows of pictures that had no place in reality, but took place only in the brain of the archaeologist. Borty objected: "I observed what I observed during the period of absence of health, also being completely healthy, three weeks later." And proof of the scientist's conscientiousness is his trailer, the paint on which is cracked and smoked from exposure to high temperatures.
Now about the events around which the passions raged in June 2009, when Borty completed a report to the Sydney Society of Archeology Lovers, which brought together world-famous luminaries. The reason for the disbelief of these learned men was Borti's assertion that the pillar - a megalith - was suddenly engulfed in a blood-red flame that raged for about an hour.
Borti, observing the mysterious phenomenon, felt an unbearable heat on his skin. But, according to him, his colleagues did not see the fire. But they saw what he was not able to see himself. It is precisely that the masses of small stones around, like a stormy river, rushed to the flaming pillar, filling it up by a third, starting from the base. In response to a poignant comment, if he was kidding, the scientist showed slides and videos of both the slow movement of stones and the time-consuming process of clearing the megalith the next morning.
That the stone pillar spewed fire, he also proved through twenty-minute filming, which he made himself. From the audience I heard: was the wooden post drenched in gasoline burning? Borty spread his hands: “It was the stone that was burning, but they did not see the burning, the colleagues standing nearby did not feel the heat”. It turned out that the scientist observed the flame, felt the heat, without observing the movement of stones.
His comrades, on the other hand, did not observe the flame, did not feel the heat, but observed the movement of a powerful stone stream, accompanied by loud grinding sounds. What is the reason for this selectivity? Perhaps it is because Stonehenge is in the "shackles" of an unprecedented geopathogenic zone, from which you can expect anything.
BOLIVIA'S JUMPING HEADS
Marked by a subtropical and subequatorial climate, stretching in the north of the Republic of Bolivia, the Amazonian lowland is notable not only for moist evergreen forests, but also for an abundance of naked stones the size of an adult's palm. These stones-sorcerers of the Quechua and Aymara tribes are not at all for ritual purposes, but for the amusement of fellow tribesmen and foreign tourists, they are forced to jump quite high, up to two meters.
The famous oceanographer Jacques Yves Cousteau witnessed this, among many others, in 1963, who recalled: “The sorcerer, promising to amuse me, got into a comical pose on all fours. This ridiculous state of his lasted at least five minutes, after which the stones, which were covered with wet earth, like bullets, began to shoot upwards. They hit several painfully on the back and chest. There was no time for jokes. I asked to stop these machine-gun bursts.
The sorcerer, answering that he could not contradict the spirits of the stones, took him to a hut, on the deciduous roof of which stones, hot, but not so hot, were hitting for another two hours”. It was then that Cousteau truly realized that the mental, mental energies of a person involved in the natural cycle are inexhaustible, omnipotent.
