Pre Columbian Museum

 

It has a great museum of pre Columbian art. 

santeago-5

The Chilean Indians  had a very complicated view of time.  They believed that they are composed of parts of their ancestors this life was a preparation to be an ancestor.  They thought that the past, present and future all existed simultaneously.

The pottery work was great

santeago-15

And you’ve got to love gold work.

santeago-9

And one pottery that really looked like it was Chinese to me.

santeago-14

This statue was done in about 1200 AD.  There is a lot of people, not all crazy, who believe that the Chinese landed and settled in Peru between 200 and 500 AD.
