Professors Carlos Taype and Alejandro Pocco have sent us copies of their books "Mystery in the Andes" and "Millennial message of the man from Qanchis, Cusco".
From here our gratitude and sincere congratulations.
Knowing the work we carried out in our Network for the recovery of collective memory and the cultural roots of our peoples, they asked our brother Alfredo Mires to write a text for "Millennial Message ...", which addresses the presence of rock art in the peasant community of Tucsa.
We share a fragment of this text entitled "Growing Communities":
"In the case of our continent - and with greater emphasis on the case of the Andes - it is imperative to rethink our approaches and dismantle the gripping scaffolding of the imposed patterns.
Rock art, the oldest cultural evidence of our indigenous peoples, is most related - probably- to the mutual, raising virtue of the natural and human communities, fundamentally with the presence of water.
This nurturing and fertile capacity -which prevails in the agricultural life of the current Andean communities-, should occupy the core and foundation of educational work in countries like ours.
Someone said that "There are more forgotten things to remember than new things to discover". In our case, the exceptional and wise roots of our history could be the best remedy against the scourge of ignorance and forgetfulness, against the scourge of corruption, vileness and excessive predatory greed."
