William (Bill) Sullivan - "Secrets of the Incas"
Why did the Inca sacrifice their own children? And why was the
Inca
Empire created in the first place? In the second and final part, Bill
Sullivan discovers the Inca etched huge effigies, some of the biggest on
the planet, into the landscape conforming to constellations in the sky -
revered creatures of the Inca
mythologies - and hidden from the
Spanish
and even the local modern Incas. Bill's conclusion is that the Inca
mythologies are so similar to other cultures half way across the globe,
that they must have a common origin. Aired on
Channel Four in 2000 and
produced by BOA Picture Company.
Bill is a friend of mine and my husband - Ben. Bill was a student of JG Bennett at the school
International Academy for Continuous Education, in the Cotswold in England in the '70's.
