14
00:00:57,870 --> 00:01:01,360
In the old days...
or rather, 1500 years ago...

15
00:01:01,850 --> 00:01:07,100
there lived, in the land of Peru, a people
who could neither read nor write

16
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:13,800
and perhaps we wouldn't know anything about
the Indians of the Mochica tribe,

17
00:01:13,801 --> 00:01:16,040
if not for these drawings.

18
00:01:17,090 --> 00:01:20,200
Since ancient times art has represented life

19
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:27,200
people's perceptions of good and evil,
of their past, present and future.

20
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:38,320
This is the way the old
Peruvians used to imagine the world...

21
00:01:38,700 --> 00:01:42,740
On the higher plane dwell the mighty gods

22
00:01:43,030 --> 00:01:46,380
On the lower plane, the mortal people...

23
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:53,760
And who are these? Demigods,
magical heroes of magical legends.

24
00:01:55,780 --> 00:02:00,040
It was them that the Mochicans most liked to draw.

25
00:02:01,030 --> 00:02:07,610
Who are they? Twin brothers,
half human, half jaguar.

26
00:02:07,690 --> 00:02:10,640
Their mother gave them their human side...

27
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:14,450
while their father gave them courage
and sharp canines.

28
00:02:15,370 --> 00:02:20,760
They were raised by a frog
who was very kind and wise.

29
00:02:30,670 --> 00:02:35,710
Thus begins the story of their lives and deeds.

30
00:02:37,090 --> 00:02:41,080
When the brothers grew up,
the frog sent them into the human world

31
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:43,910
...and with them,
a basket filled with wondrous seeds.

32
00:03:40,860 --> 00:03:41,860
Before the arrival of the twins

33
00:03:41,900 --> 00:03:46,880
people on the Earth did not know of
corn, or pepper, or beans, or peanuts.

34
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:54,510
The emissaries of the Good Frog
brought to land of the Mochica
bounty, prosperity and joy.

35
00:04:20,020 --> 00:04:25,220
Out of envy, the monsters of the land
then attacked the Mochica...

36
00:04:26,010 --> 00:04:32,490
THIS monster the Indians still to this day
call the terrible beast Recuay.

37
00:06:05,290 --> 00:06:10,990
Only the terrible beast Recuay
miraculously escaped the brothers

38
00:06:11,070 --> 00:06:12,990
and hid on the moon.

39
00:06:15,050 --> 00:06:19,240
But here is another menace
creeping from the bosom of the sea.

40
00:06:20,190 --> 00:06:25,010
Following the land monsters, sea monsters
decided to attack the brothers.

41
00:07:43,430 --> 00:07:47,820
All the monsters of land and sea
were defeated.

42
00:07:47,900 --> 00:07:51,360
The times of fear and weakness were over.

43
00:07:51,830 --> 00:07:56,940
The brothers returned peace,
joy and happiness to the people.

44
00:08:54,370 --> 00:08:57,120
The inhabitants of the sky,
from their high place above the clouds,

45
00:08:57,270 --> 00:09:01,520
would sometimes look down upon
the sinful Earth, to see how the people were doing.

46
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:06,530
That's why they live in heaven,
to know that enjoyment is not forever

47
00:09:06,610 --> 00:09:13,990
happiness is temporary and human life
is a chain of eternal suffering.

48
00:09:35,990 --> 00:09:41,590
So what happened after peace
began to reign in the land of the Moche?

49
00:09:41,690 --> 00:09:43,230
After spending much time on the moon,

50
00:09:43,310 --> 00:09:48,560
the terrible beast Recuay decided that
it was time to get back at the earth people

51
00:09:48,690 --> 00:09:50,760
and kill the brothers, as well.

52
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:57,340
One day,

53
00:09:57,620 --> 00:10:00,480
when the older brother was away ...

54
00:10:00,560 --> 00:10:05,570
Recuay sent a wily centipede to the younger...

55
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:07,750
"The ungrateful people...

56
00:10:07,830 --> 00:10:10,150
"...have forgotten you, their saviours..."

57
00:10:10,210 --> 00:10:12,880
'Will you not go to avenge yourself on them?"

58
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:17,720
"Come with me and I will show you how."

59
00:10:36,730 --> 00:10:42,020
The wily centipede led the younger
brother to a wicked witch.

60
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:48,050
"Give the people one more present," said the witch...

61
00:10:48,820 --> 00:10:54,150
"Give them weapons, and they will repent for
centuries for their ingratitude."

62
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:58,950
And the younger brother believed
what the wily witch said...

63
00:11:01,770 --> 00:11:04,910
Until then, the Mochica had
no weapons of war.

64
00:11:04,990 --> 00:11:10,330
Now each believed that
he was invincible and all-powerful.

65
00:11:51,620 --> 00:11:54,200
But the weapons were magical.

66
00:11:54,321 --> 00:11:57,960
Knowing their own mighty power,
could they agree to be servants?

67
00:11:57,980 --> 00:11:59,200
Oh no...

68
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:02,420
"We are all-powerful even
without people," the things decided,

69
00:12:02,500 --> 00:12:06,900
...and at a sign from the witch,
they refused to obey the people.

70
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:33,820
"Oh, mighty gods...!"

71
00:12:33,900 --> 00:12:36,230
acclaimed the big brother to the heavens,

72
00:12:36,310 --> 00:12:41,360
"Look from above. Why have
the people been punished so cruelly?"

73
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:49,290
Then the highest deity decided to descend
to earth to put everything in order.

74
00:13:35,100 --> 00:13:38,800
And the weapons that had considered
themselves the equals of humans

75
00:13:39,121 --> 00:13:42,640
were transformed by the gods
into dust and shards.

76
00:13:50,290 --> 00:13:54,370
The witch was thrown by the gods
into a bottomless void.

77
00:13:55,580 --> 00:14:01,020
The beast Recuay hid again on the moon,
which explains the spots on the moon.

78
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:13,230
The younger brother, for heeding
the intriques of the Recuay beast

79
00:14:13,310 --> 00:14:18,460
and almost wiping out humanity,
was forced to hold up the celestial vault,

80
00:14:19,300 --> 00:14:26,340
Also, they lifted the sky up higher -
let the world of people be more spacious!

81
00:14:33,790 --> 00:14:37,360
The gods, after lifting the sky,
no longer go down to earth.

82
00:14:37,801 --> 00:14:41,200
Demons and monsters no longer threaten people,

83
00:14:41,641 --> 00:14:44,680
and people have returned to peaceful work.

84
00:15:11,310 --> 00:15:15,220
But there are those who are haunted
by the memory of the wicked witch's gift...

85
00:15:15,700 --> 00:15:21,250
they think that if they gather
all the magical weapon shards
and make clubs and helmets from them,

86
00:15:21,330 --> 00:15:23,660
it will be possible to conquer the whole world.

87
00:15:27,260 --> 00:15:31,460
The older brother decided to leave the world
of people forever,

88
00:15:31,900 --> 00:15:35,850
but the Peruvian Indians
believe that he will return one day...

89
00:15:35,930 --> 00:15:41,220
And then, peace and bounty
will reign for long centuries.

90
00:15:49,740 --> 00:15:54,160
That is the story told by the drawings
of the ancient Peruvians.

91
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:55,670
Unfortunately,

92
00:15:55,750 --> 00:16:01,050
nobody can say if the way we imagined it
is correct.

93
00:16:02,070 --> 00:16:02,810
Although,

94
00:16:02,890 --> 00:16:07,440
do not the legends of all other peoples
on Earth have the same elements?

95
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:09,740
Strength and weakness,

96
00:16:10,340 --> 00:16:11,790
truth and falsehood,

97
00:16:11,870 --> 00:16:13,600
evil and good,

98
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:15,670
and the eternal faith of the people

99
00:16:16,260 --> 00:16:18,780
in the triumph of justice.

100
00:16:22,660 --> 00:16:26,160
The End
