Virachocha

"Viracocha (also Wiraqocha, Huiracocha; Quechua Wiraqucha) is the great creator deity in the pre-Inca and Inca mythology in the Andes region of South America. According to the myth Viracocha had human appearance and was generally considered as bearded. According to the myth he ordered the construction of Tiwanaku. It is also said that he was accompanied by men also referred to as Viracochas. . . Viracocha eventually disappeared across the Pacific Ocean (by walking on the water), and never returned. " [Viracocha, Wikipedia]

Timoto Fernandez compared Viracocha to a tentacled, jelly-like creature (possibly Cthulhu, or one of his servants) that he saw in an underground lake near Machu Picchu. Fernandez pointed out that Viracocha is seldom represented with serpents issuing from his body, so does not typically resemble the creature he saw. However, Fernandez conceded that both the jelly creature and Viracocha represent the sea, and said that Viracocha is said to mean 'White Foam of the Waters.' [AWD Curwen] The Viracocha article at Wikipedia says the name could be translated as "Sea Foam" or possibly as "lake of origin and of the end of all things." Per Brave Search, "while Viracocha has some associations with the sea, his primary role in Inca mythology is as a creator god, and he is not exclusively a sea god."

Aka: White Form of the Waters. Possible synonym for: Cthulhu.
