_21st Event._ _Maroco-El_ (lunar son) called _Machocha-El_ by Dangleria, held the sway over men, who were still in Cauta and Caanau, and kept them confined to the caves.
This indicates a lunar dominion over mankind somewhere, and a state of confinement: Perhaps in South America; in Peru caves are also the first dwellings of mankind.
_22d Event._ The men were divided into double tribes or two nations, the principal or largest and of best men was called _Cazibagiaga_--R. _Cazibaxagua_--D. (Royal Xagua) and the smaller _Amaianaba_--R. _Amayauna_--D. (Mayas?), ruled by Cazics for kings.
We have here two nations well indicated. The first the _Giaga_ or _Shaguas_, indicate the Lunar tribe, the _Chia_ of the Muyzcas, and other South American tribes _Achaguas_ of Oronoc, the _Chaguays_ or _Changas_ of Peru, _Agaches_ or _Agaiz_ or Paraguay; but above all the _Cacha_ or _Xauxa_ antidiluvian people of Peru. While in the second we trace again the Amazons or Atlantes, one of their main African tribes being the _Amantes_ of Solin, another the _Baniabas_ of Ptolemy, both in Lybia. In America the progeny is found in the _Mayas_ of Yucatan, the _Maynas_ of East Peru, the _Mamayant_ of Brazil, the Mbayas of Chaco &c.
The important name of Cazic for kings begins to appear: it is evidently oriental, and its affinities will be shown in a note.(71) It is akin also to _Kachi_ sun, in the Eyeri dialect: the _Washil_ of the Nachez.
_23d Event._ MACHOCHA-EL was set by the sun to watch the caves, and many inhabitants of the caves were killed by the sun, if they came out in the day time; they could only come out at night to seek for food. (Dangleria)
This either alludes to the great heat of the sun in Africa and the tropics, or to a dependance of the Lunar or Cave men upon the Solar men. _Machocha_ has some affinities in the South American tribes; _Machicuys_ of Tucumen, _Machacalis_ of Brazil, _Chaehas_ of Perou, _Chanchones_ of Quixos &c.
_24th Event._ Some men having dared to come in the day time, were changed into stones by the sun; (_Ziba_ is stone): also _Machokael_ for allowing it.
This fable may allude to a war, between the _Zibas_ stony or strong men and the solar tribes. These _Zibas_ were probably the _Zipas_ or princes of the Muyzcas. In Perou there is also a fable of men changed to stones at the primitive city of Tiahuanaco, which merely means a war and change of dominion. The name of _Ziba_ for stone is primitive.--See the Note for affinities.(72)
