"breast sucking"), who carried people away at night to suck their blood. At this time, a man of medium height, bearded, appeared on Altiplano. He was no longer young, as the gray hair in his hair said. His thin body was hidden by a long white tunic-shaped shirt, carrying a staff in his hands. This man spoke to the Indians with words of love, calling them his sons and daughters. While traveling across the land, he performed various miracles. He treated patients with one touch and knew the languages of all peoples better than the speakers of these languages themselves. It was named Tonapa (Tunupa) or Tarapaca Virakochanpachayachiachachachan (Kech. "peace teacher Viracocha Tarapaca") or Pakchakan ("servant") and Vikchaykamayok ("preacher"). He mentored people but they paid no attention to him. Once he came to the village of Apotampo, where they heard his words, for which Tunupa handed his staff to the village's elder. In another large village, Yamkisupa, he was less fortunate and was expelled from this village. For this attitude towards him, he cursed the inhabitants of this village, and it disappeared under water. From now on, this is where Lake Yamkisupakocha. On one of the highest mountains, called Cacha Pucara, Tunupa destroyed by fire an ancient Indian shrine in the form of a woman in the area. In another village in Kinamares, where Tunupa went to during his wedding, no one listened to his words and turned the residents into stones. It also happened in some other places. Finally, he went to Cordillera de Carabaya, carrying a large cross on his shoulders, and there, on Mount Karapuco (Karabuco), he installed it. For some of his actions, which were misunderstood by the local Indians, he was captured and brutally executed. But a divine messenger appeared and released him, despite the fact that Tunupu was guarded by many guards. Together with God's messenger, he entered the waters of the lake, and his cloak turned into a boat that took them away. After that, Tunupa stayed on a rock called Titicaca for a long time, and then went to Tiahuanaku, where his attempts to preach failed again and residents who did not heed him were turned into rock. Without understanding, he sailed along the Chacamarca River and fled to sea (Chacamarca by Aim. "machacamarca", "city by the bridge"; Desaguadero, across which there was a reed bridge at its source)]; Sarmiento de Gamboa 1960 [1572]: 208-209 [(Yakushenkov 2001:77). It is said that everything was destroyed by a flood called unyu pachakuti (ketch. "water that turns the world upside down"). But when Viracocha Pachaiachachi destroyed this land, he saved the lives of three people, one of whom was named Tahuapaca, to help him create new people to be created in second era after the flood. So, after the water came down and the earth dried up, Viracocha gave people a second term, and to make this era better than the previous one, he decided to create lights to illuminate the world. After that, he went to the province of Colhão, which has an island called Titicaca. Viracocha arrived on the island and ordered the sun, moon and stars to appear in the sky and illuminate the world. This is what happened; Viracocha gave various orders to his servants, but Tauapaca did not obey his commands. This made Virakoc very angry and ordered his two other assistants to grab the apostate, tie his arms and legs, and put him in a boat on the lake. And that's what was done. Tauapaca cursed Viracocha for his treatment and threatened to return and take revenge, but the flow of the lake carried the boat further away and was never seen again. Viracocha then created an idol in this place in memory of what happened here]; Calancha 1638 (p.?) [(Yakushenkov 2001:78); Kalancha follows an earlier chronicle by Ramos Gavilan; "One was named Tunupa, which means sage, lord and creator, and the other was named Taapak, which means the creator's son, and about life and about The latter's extraordinary death has more memories in the provinces of Colhão, Chucuito and Charcas"; Tunupa and Taapak were Saint Thomas and their disciple; "the apostle was called lord, sage and creator, and the student was given the name of his son, and in their language this word does not mean his own son, but an adopted son, meaning hand-made, taught his traditions"; Tarapaca dies at the hands of the Indians, not who heed his sermons, he is put on a stake, or rather the trunk of a chonta palm tree, which, after passing through it, seems to grow from his body, blooming above his head. After that, "either fearing the dead or wanting to please the devil even more, they put the holy body in a totor boat and let it into the lake, whose quiet waters served as rowers for him, and the gentle wind helmsman, the boat sailed at such a high speed that it left in such panic surprise those who killed him so mercilessly, this fear was born in them because this lake has no flow. A boat carrying precious cargo sailed to the shore of Cachamarca, where the Desaguadero River now originates. And the Indians unanimously claim that this very boat, having torn the ground, opened the source of this river from a lake that did not exist before, and it has been flowing ever since. And the holy body sailed through these waters to the village of Aulagas, which is located many leagues away from Chucuito and Titicaca on the coast near Arica and Chile" (i.e. Lake. Poopo). As a symbol of Tarapaca's martyrdom, a blooming palm appears on Easter in different parts of the Desaguadero River to commemorate that the tree sprouted from Tarapaca's body].
