Father Crespi Mystery Deepens: Ancient Origins Urged to Drop Further Investigations

In 1971 my partner and I traveled to Ecuador to do private, independent archaeological research . We spent much of our time up in the Andes mountains and in the beautiful highland city of Cuenca. I was introduced to and interviewed Padre Crespi that summer. I took numerous photos (35mm) of his collection in the storeroom off the quadrangle area. My buddy took some film shots of this artifact packed storehouse; some walls were not visible because they were packed with rough "artifact filled" shelving almost to the ceiling. These photos are incredible, stunning color proofs of the untold intrinsic value in artifacts (worth significantly more than 10 million USD; not 1 million as was stated by a false estimate). I took these pics of the artifacts after the (1968?) fire at the school. Certainly, I can tell you as an American amateur seeking archaeological evidence of people populating South America from the Mediterranean Sea countries, I was of no authority or position but was privileged to see a Priest’s lifetime work protected by a rather simple hasp and key on a wooden storage door on school grounds. These artifacts were rather insecurely treasured by Padre Crespi during the 1940s, 50s and 60s before the Ecuadorian government, the bank of Ecuador, the Roman Catholic hierarchy and the Smithsonian Institution made claim and put their hands on his artifacts.
One of my sisters mentioned to me there was some international controversy over the collection of Father Crespi. Over the course of time, I’ve finally thought this maybe worth mentioning to say that there are many more items than are generally known by the current internet photos of curiosity seekers and officials of various agencies. Simply put, there are many more incredibly valuable artifacts than your group were allowed to see or can see in a modern museum today.
Some of these pics I had enlarged for conversational effect because these finds by Padre Crespi and his Indian friends were in my exposure to Eastern USA museums beyond incredible. I was convinced because of what I put my hands on and drop-jawed saw there that the theory and writings of Thor Heyerdahl were absolutely correct. His assumptions and practical exploration rafting experiences lifted those Western historians who were willing, to step out of their false historical boxes and consider maritime skills of ancient peoples who were capable of traversing the known oceans from 2500 BC. and earlier, ie. the Sumerians and later the Egyptians rivaling explorers, sojourners of later people groups.
I put on my own body gold armor, gold head dresses, ivory crowns intricately designed for Egyptian female or male royalty. Imagine putting your hands on multi-plated gold and copper body ornaments, shields, spears, a javelin; hold a solid polished white ivory African elephant large enough to swallow/hid both of my hands. Were these items to be used to draw worship from the indigent people or reminders of their higher living standards back in the homelands of Egyptian and Sumerian culture? Perhaps, these items could have been used to help establish a new kingdom in the Andes representing the “Mother country”. These explorers were experienced seamen who obviously crossed the Atlantic, traveled up the longest river in South America, the Amazon and settled in the head waters land of what is now Ecuador.
So various and numerous were the artifacts of royal Egyptian life and Sumerian life that I had to consider the idea that more than one group, certainly a sizable contingent of explorers made numerous ocean voyages to South America. In a moment of time, I felt like I was transported to one of Egypt's remarkable archaeological field storage warehouses. I trembled holding solid ivory and gold plated - Nile River (large over 15" long) model sized royal canoes, an ivory crocodile, golden lions. Some of the other plate artifacts were put on the human body in the ceremonial past just as I did for myself there in that store room. Other gold and ivory symbols of Egyptian life - large and small icon items were so very heavy for the hand to hold so I imagined they were for display, as on a modern counter or shelf. Some were solid gold, or ivory obviously made from a large African elephant tusk. Other objects were four to eight layers thick with smooth and/or hammered gold plates. How can artisan gold plate bonded together as one covering displaying Egyptian symbols making over a seven foot tall gold plated guitar instrument be housed in a simple store room on school grounds? Have you been to the rooms in the Smithsonian museum in Washington DC? Those people would blacklist for these numerous artifacts dating to Egyptian and earlier Sumerian times.
One of the Smithsonian directors of antiquities, who I had written to (with the help of my Dad trained in law) about my pending trip, wrote back requesting a meeting and follow-up report on our mission. During my Ecuadorian coastal travels well after the exploration digs in the Andean jungle and interviews with Padre Crespi I contracted a tropical disease that nearly did me in so I did not follow-up with the Smithsonian. They, however, were seemingly so intrigued by the faint report I submitted and other news reports that a few years later they sent a photographic team to the city of Cuenca to research these artifacts and explore the tavos cave area.
The Sumerian cuneiform tablets, metal plates, metal hieroglyphs, Egyptian writings on stone tablets, stunningly beautiful art clearly from Egyptian royalty made me acutely aware we are mostly given "artificial theory" that falls so far short of some of history's real records. To be clear to you, there is so much more artifact evidence of Padre Crespi's great finds in the hands of the above organizations than what you were led to see and believe!
BTW, Daniken, in my opinion made much off his "associated contrived" theory. However, kudos to him for what he made off all the wannabes welcoming the return of the Annanaki. Will they be so unpleasantly surprised at the new revealing coming.

All the truth in the world is one big lie.

Anytime artifacts are quietly sold to a private collector with ' no questions asked', the trail goes cold. Official history of the region is protected and preserved. It would be interesting to hear how much the 'locals' know about thier lineage and the regional history. Keep up the great work.
