If the reader will refer to Bunsen's "Egypt," &c. vol. i. p. 497, he will find "a man with uplifted arms" as the ideographic sign (19) for "to praise, glorification," which is in evidence not only that it was the natural but the traditional mode. [255] Garcilasso de la Vega's authority is so unimpeachable, and at the same time his testimony is so unmistakable on this point, that it will be as well to give his own words, as he was well acquainted with the Peruvian traditions, through his mother, who was one of the Yncas. He adds: "When the Indians were asked who Pachacamac was, they replied that he it was who gave life to the universe, and supported it; but that they knew him not, for they had never _seen_ him, and that for this reason they did not build temples to him, nor offer him sacrifices; but that they worshipped him in their hearts (mentally), and considered him to be an _unknown God_.... From this it is clear, that these Indians considered him to be the maker of all things." Hakluyt ed. of Garcil. de la Vega's "Royal Commentaries of the Yncas," ed. C. Markham, 1869, i. 107. He further remarks that, whereas they hesitated to pronounce the name of Pachacamac, "they spoke of the sun on every occasion." Compare the accounts we have of the Guanches. M. Pegot Ogier, "The Fortunate Isles" (Canaries), 1871, says (p. 283), that a comparison of the Chronicles of the Conquest shows that, "far from being idolaters, the Guanches worshipped one God, the Creator and Preserver of the world," and that (p. 282), "in their worship, they _raised their hands_ to heaven, and sacrificed on the mountains by pouring milk on the ground from a _height_; their milk was carried in a sacred vase called _ganigo_." The name of their god, "Achoron Achaman" = "He who upholds the heaven and earth," and "Achuhuyahan Achuhucanac" = "He who sustains every one," has resemblances with "Pachacamac" = "Pacha," the earth; and "camac" participle of "camani," "I create."--(C. Markham, Hakluyt ed. of Garcil. de la Vega, i. 101.) At p. 468 Sir John somewhat too roundly asserts that "Dr Hooker tells us that the Lepchas of Northern India have _no religion_."
