“The Burial in the Mirrors, the Charm of Gold”
They did spectacular goldsmith work: pecs, bracelets and nose rings ; Such was their exquisiteness, that they dedicated themselves to achieving countless requisitions, and when they died, they were buried with their gold.
Their priests, through nourished religious ceremonies, songs and praises, blessed the sunset of their Chiefs, thus they would pass to the other phase of their existence. They were put a few meters underground and with all the wealth and gold that during their government they managed to acquire.
Alcaul, was one of the Caciques, who, through his existence, managed to get infinity of wealth: gold, jewelry, silver, diamonds and power, was kind and loved by his people.
The goddess Maati gave her people the teaching of the cultivation of the land, the construction of bohíos and the manufacture of fabrics, which is why she was compensated by her People with a majestic temple full of gold, incandescent engravings, full of mirrors luminous with finishes of luxurious diamonds, a radiant source of crystalline water that in the center bore its image carved in gold and silver, with delicate lines and strong highlights of grandeur, government and empire.
Alcaul, as his highest and most ancient servant, received as a reward, to be buried at death, with all his riches in gold, precious stones and silver, beneath the very high angelic and crystalline fountain that held the finish of the great goddess.
His funeral was really catatonic, the majesty of his sepulcher was the grandeur of the earthly and passing power, embedded by gold and insurmountable and exuberant riches; what any human being would like to possess and enjoy perpetually.
After the ceremony, the celebrant priest sealed the temple with an enchantment, so the light of gold and silver that were there would never be found.
That said, in the middle of the 16th century, the Spanish expeditionaries having come to our lands, they wanted to own, dig up and control all those burials and gold of Caciques and aborigines that were sprayed throughout the Region n.
It was thus that a high number of graves were desecrated in a hard, insistent and violent search for gold, silver and diamonds.
Upon arriving at the place of the temple, in which the great Alca l was buried, the expeditionaries observed a spectacular view that any human being would have liked to delight with his mortal and passing eyes: the bright yellow gold color of the whole place, stood out from among the vibrant and shining blushes of silver, combining with the magnificent and angelic sapphires that caressed the exquisite, fine and delicate edge of an infinity of mirrors that surrounded the Cenacle of that virtuous and elegant goddess ” . What an immeasurable astonishment !
No one from ancient Europe would have maintained eye contact with such an excellent prodigy . Without thinking twice, after the astonishment and admiration for what was observed, the expeditionaries begin the subtraction of each of the precious jewels they had seen.
Without mind or heart, without morality or religion, they rushed in a hurried manner over gold and other precious material, and began to hoard it over their hands, and then put it in baskets and pockets that they brought with them.
As if there were still vestiges of the spell made by the priest at the time of the tomb of Alcaul, the envious and twisted expeditionaries saw their wealth stolen from the temple into banal and docile ashes that the wind would disperse around, and that when they arrived to the earth they would sink more and more.
So it was, that pick and shovel in hand, motivated the conquerors to dig and penetrate the earth to get back the riches that had been taken from their hands.
Initiated the work, the desire for wealth, gold, power and authority grew so much in each of the Iberians, that a pitched fight begins, in which the use of war, violence and abuse was justified to achieve that precious material that would make some millionaires and powerful.
It tells the oral story, that the goddess Maati was so angry that the stained glass mirrors exploded in thousands of pieces, piercing the hearts of all those men who were trying to steal their wealth, their gold, their emeralds and their silver. Event, which subtracted and brought together the life and bodies of those men in each mirror that surrounded the temple Cenacle, being trapped inside each stained glass window, sapphire and emerald that surrounds as a tribute of admiration and respect to the great goddess and the splendorous Cacique.
It is said, that there is still the temple and its riches, but unlike that day, they are not seen by people who address him with dark realities in his mind, life and heart.
Every November 3 of each year, the goddess gives those who deserve it, get some of their wealth. She, who has a good and kind soul, as was Alcaul, shows through signs and signs the precise place to dig and dig up the burial with her wealth . Being 2 in the morning, time contrary to the excavation of the expeditionaries, in the exact place of the treasure, Alcaul, taking the form of a spectrum and with his right index finger, will indicate to the chosen person the place of excavation to find the treasure
The ancestors count, that, at the time of digging, a light of the color of the treasure perches on the person ; if the light is white, what will be found will be silver, if it is yellow, it will be gold, but if the light is red or blue, they would be jewels.
If a dark person of feelings and heart passes through the place where the excavation is taking place , the treasure will deepen more and more, or if he had it in his hands, it would become ashes that the wind would take to the ground and hide again; and the light that was radiating over the treasure will vanish the chosen one, taking him to the ancient temple, and as in ancient times, he will be imprisoned in one of the mirrors to decorate his stained glass and diamonds.
So, if one day you can think of going through the treasure of the temple of the goddess Maati and the Cacique Alcaul, make sure that you are of goodness and that they don't go to intruders through the place, because otherwise you could go company to the old expeditionaries who wanted to steal the wealth of this Cenacle.
