Did the Inca have superhuman powers? Stories that Jesus Ruiz heard about his ancestors were just that, until he made a discovery that changed everything. His studies while attending the University of Arizona led him to ancient documents. We learn about shaman, ancient messages in weavings, quipu and our DNA. We learn how to talk to the gods. A beautiful library student working on her PhD covertly helps Jesus and later their paths merge while searching for records created by scribes during the Inca conquest. Their study leads to the Archives of the Indies in Spain, the Vatican, gods of human creation, ancient aliens, and beyond. The god Sach’amama leads them to hidden artifacts and Jesus embarks on an exciting quest for clues that transport him back to the beginning where he uncovers ancient hidden truths about the Incas and their supernatural powers. He and his new friends set out on an eye-opening journey through history, fantasy and time using the powerful secret keys of his homeland to defeat an evil threat. Long ago the gods gave people superhuman powers. When it is time, they will give those who earn it, the knowledge and understanding that will allow them to survive it’s use.
