The legend of the Eagle and the Condor
goes back a very long time in the Andes and in many other parts of the world. In the Andes it is expressed as the coming of the new Pachacuti. A Pachacuti is an interval of roughly 500 years. It was known for a long, long time before it happened, that the fourth Pachacuti, which began about the 1490's, would be a time of turmoil, of struggle, of conflict. In addition, at the fifth Pachacuti, which began in the late 1990's, it would be a time of coming together, of partnership, of union, and particularly a time when the Eagle of the North will fly with the Condor of the South.

It is known to all the indigenous peoples that there has been unbalance and tremendous conflict throughout the Americas during the past 500 years. The Eagle Power and Spirit which is mental and materialistic, has outweighed and dominated the Condor Spirit which is spiritual and heart centered.

Now it is time for the two to come together and fly in the same skies as equals so that the Earth may become balanced. You can also look at it as the balancing of the male and the female or the yin and the yang.


All this was predicted in many cultures throughout the world. The Mayan people in Central America have similar prophecies for this time. The Dalai Lama said they too have a prediction that there is a new period upon us, and that the 14th, current, Dalai Lama, will be the last from the Himalayas. The next will probably be from the Americas and the best bet, according to them, is that he or she will be from the Andes. A few years ago, the Dalai Lama was in the Andes and he and other Lamas did a ceremony to transfer the responsibility for compassion amongst human beings from the Himalayas to the Andes.

The new Pachacuti, the new era for the coming together of the Eagle and the Condor , is an idea that is shared by many cultures all around the world.
