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.
