Bestselling author of The Tutankhamun Prophecies decodes the spiritual mysteries hidden within the recently discovered Mochian pyramids in Sipan

• Reveals that ancient Inca sun-kings possessed the same solar science as Lord Pacal of Mexico and Tutankhamun of Egypt

• Solves the mystery of the ancient Inca legend concerning a white god who traveled through ancient Peru, healing the sick and restoring sight to the blind

Inca mythology tells of a tall, white leader who wandered along the coast performing miracles, a man they called Viracocha Pachamac, which means "God of the World." Centuries later another great miracle worker, similar to the first, appeared and wandered the countryside, healing the sick and restoring sight to the blind. He, too, was named Viracocha. These accounts have long baffled scholars, as have the carvings left by the people of Tiahuanaco who preserved these legends. Now Maurice Cotterell, who cracked the codes hidden in both ancient Maya carvings and the treasures of Tutankhamun, unlocks the secrets concealed within the treasure-filled tombs of Viracocha Pachamac and Viracocha. His investigation of these tombs, held within the long-lost pyramids of Peru, proves that these two figures were not myth but actually existed 1,500 years ago.

The two Viracocha sun-kings had much in common with Lord Pacal of Mexico and Tutankhamun of Egypt and, like them, left the secrets of a super solar science encoded in their treasures. This science reveals the intimate connection between the cycles of life and birth on Earth and solar activity such as sunspots. More important, it holds the key to reincarnation and human spiritual realization, with answers to the spiritual mysteries of life and death.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Cotterell puts up enough evidence to make even the most skeptical take note." ― London Daily Mail

"[Cotterell] does the stuffy field of archaeology a service in presenting his unorthodox theories in a readable fashion. . . . A journey into Indiana Jones territory that is accessible to the average reader." ―
W. Ritchie Benedict, New Dawn, May-June 2005

"
The Lost Tomb of Viracocha is excellent." ― Director General of the Instituto Nacionale de Antropologia e Historia (INAH) in Mexico

ANCIENT MYSTERIES / INCA STUDIES "Cotterell puts up enough evidence to make even the most skeptical take note." --London Daily Mail "The Lost Tomb of Viracocha is excellent." --Director General of the Instituto Nacionale de Antropologia e Historia (INAH) in Mexico Inca mythology tells of a tall, white leader who wandered along the coast performing miracles, a man they called Viracocha Pachacamac, which means "God of the World." Centuries later another great miracle worker, similar to the first, appeared and wandered the countryside, healing the sick and restoring sight to the blind. He, too, was named Viracocha. These accounts have long baffled scholars, as have the carvings left by the people of Tiahuanaco, Bolivia, who preserved these legends. Now Maurice Cotterell, who cracked the codes hidden in both ancient Maya carvings and the treasures of Tutankhamun, unlocks the secrets concealed within the treasure-filled tombs of Viracocha Pachacamac and Viracocha. His investigation of these tombs, held within the long-lost pyramids of Peru, proves that these two figures were not myth but actually existed 1,500 years ago. The two Viracocha sun-kings had much in common with Lord Pacal of Mexico and Tutankhamun of Egypt and, like them, left the secrets of a solar science encoded in their treasures. Using a method of calculating the duration of long-term magnetic reversals on the sun, Cotterell reveals the intimate connection between the cycles of life and birth on Earth and solar activity such as sunspots. More important, he shows how this science holds the key to reincarnation and human spiritual realization, with answers to the spiritual mysteries of life and death. MAURICE COTTERELL, a mathematician and scientist formerly at the Cranfield Institute of Technology, was awarded the Voluntariado Cultural medal in 1992 for his contributions to Mexican culture. He is the author of the international bestseller The Tutankhamun Prophecies and coauthor of The Mayan Prophecies. He lives in Ireland.

I did not know how amazing this book was going to be. This book really gives you information that will change the way we
have been told regarding our history, beliefs and hopes. My way of thinking and the opinions that I had certainly have been
shaken off its foundation. One day, everything will come together and this book is just the beginning of our better understanding regarding who we are and what is the purpose of life indeed.

Maurice does it again...I don't believe that he will ever write a book that is as good as 'The Tutankhamun Prophecies', but 'The Lost Tomb of Viracocha' reveals more of the great secrets encoded into artifacts by clever ancient peoples.

The book can be read simply as an archaeological or anthropological guide to the lost pyramids of Peru. The pictures and expanations of the pyramids and artifacts are fantastic (my favorite is the Crab Man). Cotterell also makes a cogent case regarding the spiritual messages encoded in the burial sites. The ancient Lord of Sipan, who should not have not more about physics than what can be seen in the heavens at night with the naked eye, knew more about some aspects of physics than our modern science does. He (and Tutankhamun and the rest of the Supergods) also had sophisticated knowledge about the physical world and its relationship to the spiritual world.

Cotterell has a special talent: finding, presenting, and explaining information that has previously been a mystery. The 'Lines of Nazca' is an example of this. Nobody knew who made these lines, many miles long, or why, and then suddenly Maurice says exactly who made them and what the significance of the lines is. This type of research makes it difficult for mainstream science or any other interested party to remain in a state of cognitive dissonance. Maurice's books are definitely for the open minded reader.

I highly recommend the book, although it is not a masterpiece like 'The Tutankhamun Prophecies'. Maurice tends to repeat himself, giving a great deal of old information to his fan base, and at the end of the book goes a little too far in attempting to explain how we escape the reincarnation cycle. Even after all of his research, we still don't know as much as we don't know. And who's to say that the path of the ancients is the only one? Other than that, the book really is a great read. Hold on for another wild ride in 'The Lost Tomb of Viracocha'. econ

I stumbled across this while doing personal research on numerology encoded into the Egyptian Pyramids and his book was very similar: Numerology and historical records built into the architecture (the number 19 is very important) and artwork of the Mayans. He relates that numerical analysis and analysis of the lid of the sarcophagus of Palencue (sp?) to Solar Cycles, the number 144,000 and the rise and fall of Human civilizations as well as information that the constantly re-incarnating "Super Gods" have been trying to relate to Humans and tops it off with a cosmology that neatly wrapped up how a man of Science became a man of God - which helped me crystallize my personal beliefs about the nature of the universe:. (e,g, Energy can't grow or change, unless it converts to Matter) I'm not a scientist nor a mathmatician so I don't know how much of his conclusions are accurate but I found them fascinating.
Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2009
This was extremely interesting (if heavy) reading! Having studied archaeology for 45 years, I found this book made some outrageous interpretation which, frankly, surpassed what anyone else has achieved. And who's to say Cotterell's wrong? Everyone has taken a stab at what Mayan and Incan glyphs mean so Cotterell has as good a chance at being right as anyone else. I applaud the discicpline it took to write a book of this complexity; his research had to take years.

There were some facts about which I was previously unaware that I found exciting: Tiahuanaco has been dated at 16,000 years old? That bit of information alone made the book worth reading! What it implies is astounding!

The photos are high quality, glossy color, and there are numerous illustrations. Cotterell's descriptions of the digs are exhaustive, but more readable than most archaeological descriptions. (Archaeogists aren't good writers, which is a shame since their continued employment is based on "publish or perish.")

Archaeology is one of the most conservative, prejudiced disciplines, slow to admit error or accept new interpretations. The fringe of archaeological research is where the most interesting discussions are taking place. Once Troy was a myth. Once the Sphinx was buried in sand. Once, we walked on the moon. Knowledge is lost -- and rediscovered.

For what this book discusses, I'd recommend it.
