Blonds and Redheads in South America and Northern Africa - Possible Wendish Connection
A few years ago, Hans Giffhorn's book about the Chachapoya natives of South America was published, titled "Did Carthagenians, Celts and Balearic People Travel to South America?". They were decimated by various European diseases. Some of the remaining Chachapoyas are still blond, though the majority of them used to be readheads, They are a tall white-skinned people living in the high mountains of the Andes, overlooking the Amazonian plain. They played a crucial role in the Spanish conquistadors' victory over the Incas. At the arrival of Spaniards, the subjugation of the Chachapoyas by Inkas had just been completed. Chachapoyas who bitterly resented them and hoped to regain their independence, organized some 40 thousand Chachapoya warriors to help the conquistadors defeat the Incas. Spanish historians mostly avoid mentioning this fact. It would somewhat detract from their impressive official version about a handful of Spaniards overwhelming the powerful Inca Empire.
Prof. Griffhorn believes that four symbols, engraved on the ancient petroglyphs on the rock of Ingá in Brazil, aren’t just coincidentally close to geometrical shapes used in Celtiberian alphabets, but are actual Celtic letters. Apparently the Carthaginian merchants were the merchant class serving the Celtic warrior elite. As there is no doubt that Continental Celts were Wends, there is a good chance that some of them had joined this expedition. Unfortunately, Griffin's research did not cover Chachapoyas' language which would be the most convincing evidence of Wendish presence. This ought to be done by future Wendish scholars. Griffhorn suggests that the Carthaginians and Celts on this voyage of discovery sailed up the Amazon. He noticed that painted images of shamans with antlers occur both among the Amazon native tribes and among the Celts. It is interesting that the art from Mohenjo-Daro shows the same thing, as, in fact, does shamanic art everywhere, going back to the Stone Age. Is it connected with the ancient Wendish explorations of the world? His discovery that the pre-Contact Chachapoya mummies suffered from tuberculosis, a disease previously thought only to have come with the Spanish, also suggests Chachapoyas European origins.
There are Spanish reports about them. Pedro Pizarro wrote in his "Relation of the Discoveries", translated by Philip Ainsworth Means, p. 430: "The Indian women of the Guancas and Chachapoyas and Canjares were the common women, most of them being beautiful. The rest of the womanhood of this kingdom were thick, neither beautiful nor ugly, but of medium good-looks. The people of this kingdom of Peru were white, swarthy in colour, and among them the Lords and Ladies were whiter than Spaniards. I saw in this land an Indian woman and a child who would not stand out among white blonds. These people (of the upper class) say that they were the children of the idols"

Cieza de Leon in his Chronicle of Peru (written 1553, but only published in full in 1.871), translated by Clements Markham, reports "These Indians of Chachapoyas are the most fair and good-looking of any that I have seen in the Indies, and their women are so beautiful that many of them were worthy to be wives of the Yncas, or inmates of the temples of the sun. To this day the Indian women of this race are exceedingly beautiful, for they are fair and well-formed. They go dressed in woolen cloths, like their husbands, and on their heads they wear a certain fringe, the sign by which they may be known in all parts. After they were subjugated by the Yncas, they received from them the laws and customs according to which they lived. They adored the sun and other gods, like the rest of the Indians, and resembled them in other customs, such as burial of their dead and conversing with the devil."
The homeland of the Celtic people that Griffhorn describes is the same as that of the Spaniards who travelled to Peru in the 1500s. The Celts did not simply vanish after the Roman conquest of Spain (218 BCE to 19 BCE). They contributed to the gene pool of medieval and modern Spain, though their language and culture may have died out around the fifth century CE.
I have just seen a documentary about the Chachapoya people, "Chachapoya - The Blond Warriors of the Andes - 2000" and read the talk given on May 8, 2009 at the UTC. It is quite obvious that Chachapoyas have a Mediterranean origin, either Celtic or Phoenician. The similarity of their decorations, weapons, fortresses, sculptures, their ancestors looks, are stunning and speak for themselves. Even the way of playing their folk songs are alike, drums in the right hand, the flute in the left. Chachapoya's giant stone fortress Kuelap, Gran Vilaya or the round houses remind one of ancient Celtic structures in Europe. Some of their cemetery caves resemble those of Phoenicians, their slings and skull trapanation techniques are the same as those of Celts. Their folk music reminds one of those sung in northern Africa. Their beautifully structured Kuelap fortress is as solid as some one finds in the Middle East. Like many Europeans, Chachapoyas have freckles and red hair. There are men depicted with horns, sculptures with bullhorns, Etruscan patterns, etc., all pointing to a European origin.
Here is one photograph I could find of contemporary Chachapoyas, already with a mixed background. The grandfather of these three children - two with brown hair and a pink skin, and a blond baby - on their father's side, was a blond Chachapoya, their mother was from another native tribe.

"Another clear example of genuine racism and the medias power to spread misinformation. Wait for the racist shits to start using this as "evidence" for "Aryans" being here first. Solutrean, Kennewick, white Hebrews, pleaidian nordic aliens, white ainu, and white gods, another one to add to the long list of attempts to genocide and erase native americans from the history books ... Oh yeah I forgot lost He-boo alien from planet x and red haired giant bigfoot from atlantis/lemuria/5th dimension and on and on and on ..."
"You just can't help but laugh and get angry at the same time at all this crap. The clownish ideas from these clowns just get crazier and crazier. It makes you wonder if they were on some type of drug when they pulled this garbage out of their ass..."
"I sometimes wonder if these people who use media to spread this misinfo propaganda have ties to racist groups including the likes of eugenicist like Rushton Jensen and those other frauds. I am in no doubt onto this and hope it will be exposed in the near future..."
"This is clearly an attack on native american history and identity that has continued for the last 500 years. This is tantamount to holocaust denial."
"Culture vulture, history distortionist/revisionist, usurper, fake, fraud, charlatan, take your pick..."
However, the Celts did have very capable ocean-going vessels. The Veneti ships on the North Sea were in fact so capable that Julius Caesar had to attack them from the land side. He gave a very graphic description of the Veneti ships, as so thick of hull that they were resistant to ramming, and so high above the water they commanded even the castles on the Roman galleys. And so maneuverable they were almost impossible to ram in the first place. The reported superiority of the Veneti ships would guarantee that Veneti could readily have escaped by sea from Roman invasions. If you want to play with "weakly supported hypotheses", then you could also speculate on a fleet of survivors from the Ikeni tribe after their lost battle with Romans, having arrived in the New World some time around the late Republican period. No Carthaginians to help and guide them were required. However, the most convincing proof that Wends had repeatedly arrived in America is their linguistic footprint. Languages cannot be faked.
And what on earth is racist about historic facts? For instance, 18 000 years ago, Americans on an island just east of New York used the same tools, weapons, even needles, as Solutreans had used in Southern Europe from 22 000 years ago onward,
Berbers of Northern Africa were originally also a blond and readheaded race. I have recently met one of them here in Calgary, an oil company owner, who looked like a handsome Italian. He told me that Berbers resent the introduction of the Muslim religion and that their legendary home was just east of present northern Germany. That would make them descendants of ancient Vandals, originally Wendish tribes from Sweden. Berbers call themselves Amaziah or Amazigh. There is also much mention, way back to antiquity, of an indigenous population of the tall blondes in the Atlas Mountain Range. There is also speculation that the Gaunches of the Azores, who were not disturbed by Europeans until the 1400s, are Berbers who had somehow crossed the sea and settled the Azores, They were noted for being a very beautiful white race, very tall, with many blondes amongst them. Here is a photograph of an Algerian Berber woman with her grandson.
However, the following cave painting, dated to about 3,000 BC, seems to imply that Berbers have much older origins. The nomadic women represented in it are referred to as the Tassili Ladies, originating on the Saharan Tassili Plateau. Some have suggested that they are fake. However, as in America, whatever does not support the official version of history is usually declared to be fake. The name Tassili reminds me of the Wendish name, Ta silni, the mighty, the powerful. It turns up also in the Charlemagne's time in Bavaria, whose duke, a relative, was called Tassillo.
Some of the Tassili ladies have auburn, some red and some blond hair. These women, and their descendants a few millenniums later, may have something to do with the puzzling archaeological discovery, made a few years ago, in 2012?, of a vast cemetery in Egypt, supposedly close to the pyramids, in which about a million people from the 5th century BC are buried. They were not buried in tombs. They were simply covered with sand, which mummified them. The intriguing part is that the deceased are blonds and redheads. Most of them are adults, but some of them are children, with jewellery and pretty little red boots. The dead are buried in separate, segregated areas - blonds together and redheads together, as if they belonged to separate tribes or families. Historians have no explanation who these people might have been.
Were these ancient Saharan nomads also the people who had caused - by intermarrying or trading - some black sub-Saharan tribes, at one of the major sub-Saharan lakes, to have many Wendish words in their vocabulary? I have read an article about them many years ago, probably in Der Spiegel. Unfortunately, I had made no notes. I remember only that from about 30 words quoted as used by a local black tribe on the shores of this lake, partly surrounded by the desert, almost all had Wendish roots. They were mostly dealing with water and trade. The lake mentioned just might have been a branch of the lake Chad. It was somewhere west of the Sudan. This is another interesting subject to research, Wendish in the sub-Saharan Africa. The research should perhaps start with the black tribe whose women still wear artificial blond pigtails. It just may be an ancient memory of some of their forebears.
