Clouds of mystery Civilization Society

The mysteries of ancient civilization Chachapoyas 'Cloud People' at the top of the Amazon, Peru. The ancient city of Chachapoyas, the land of the clouds disappeared hundreds of years ago have been found. The term "public cloud" probably because it refers to the Andes Mountains that are always covered with clouds. Life and culture of the ancient town that existed since the 9th century, until now remained a mystery and difficult to reveal because they are not a lot left a note.

Although disappeared without trace for hundreds of years, but traces of the city of Chachapoyas civilization which now enter the north of Peru, can still be found. A row of statues facing the rising sun which is known as "cloud warriors" stand erect until now. The statues symbolize the courage of their community in the past.

Karija site was built nearly a millennium. Actually it is a graveyard, each statue represents the figure buried there. May be practically similar to the grave sites in Tanah Toraja, Sulawesi.

The statues were made of clay and plant matt where in it contains the mummies of the Chachapoyas leaders. The unique position of the statue contains the mummy was very difficult to reach. Somehow the people at the time were brought and placed there. Because, have been studied, there is no way that is accessible to the facility.

Chachapoyas  story of life in almost a mystery because the place is very isolated. A lost ancient city of Chachapoyas, discovered in 2008 in the Amazon jungle, which is isolated, by the archaeological expedition team. The distance is about 500 km northeast of Lima.

Archaeologists found the ramparts of stone and the buildings on the edge of a cliff, the remains of the wall containing the paintings in the chisel on the rocks. Maybe it was built to protect them from enemies.

Unfortunately, not many know about the existence of this ancient city of Chachapoyas. Just a little note about it, including about their culture which flourished in the 9th century. In fact, the ancient city of Chachapoyas is located at the peak height. Allegedly, at the height of the city was intentionally developed for defense against enemies.

However, their fate becomes uncertain when the Inca empire is growing and they conquered 500 years ago. Although the Chachapoyas had to fight hard, but the Inca power unmatched. Luck came when the Spanish arrived in 1535. Remnants of Chachapoyas tribe sided with Spain to fight against the Incas. But then came the Europeans diseases, namely smallpox, which annihilated their population.

Chronicler Pedro Cieza de Leon wrote, the figure of Chachapoyas people were white and handsome, the women were beautiful, that is why many people want to make their wives Inca. Tomb of those figures in chullas clouds, painted on the cliff side with a pointed roof, especially those found in Revash. However, the most impressive relics of the construction of the Chachapoyas Kuelap, a monumental fortress is 9500 meters above sea level. The building exterior is protected by large boulders.

In Kuelap there are about four hundred buildings that may be occupied by about 3,500 inhabitants. Compare with buildings owned by the Incas, the famous Manchu Picchu. This complex (Kuelap) indicate that the Chachapoyas in the last 1000 years has been able to create something extraordinary.
Who knows, let alone to be found in the interior of andes amazon? All is still a mystery, as his mysterious Chachapoyas. The lack of records about the Chachapoyas tribe raises pessimistic if I could uncover the story of 'cloud people' are.
