Have you ever wondered about the legends hidden within the folds of history, waiting to be explored?
Among the many famous fables, the story of The Emerald Goddess is no exception. One of the great missing emeralds of Peru, The Emerald Goddess, was the centerpiece of a Shrine to the Goddess Umina.
The Emerald Goddess story resides in the lush landscapes of prehistoric Peru, where the Incan civilization flourished in harmony with the natural world and held the emerald in high regard as a sacred symbol of prosperity and life. Nestled in the coronary heart of the Andes, the town of Manta became home to the Emerald Goddess, a colossal gemstone respected as a divine entity by way of the indigenous peoples.
According to local legend, the Emerald Goddess, also called Umina, lived in a magnificent temple decorated with tiny emeralds and engraved with elaborate sculptures. Devotees traveling from far and wide were said to receive blessings from the temple. When the overbearing Inca priest ceremoniously distributed the Emerald Goddess to the masses through celebratory rituals, her vivid green color represented the bounty of the natural world and the benefits her people enjoyed.
However, with the appearance of the Spanish conquistadors, the tranquility of Manta was shattered, and the destiny of the Emerald Goddess hung in the balance. As the invaders plundered the city in their relentless quest for gold and riches, they laid waste to temples and treasures alike, leaving in the back of a path of destruction in their wake.
While some speculated that she was lost in the chaos of fighting and looting, others thought she had been taken prisoner by devoted monks who had sheltered her from the approaching invaders.
However, centuries later, the lost fable of Goddess Umina found new life through the endeavors of intrepid explorer Sir Francis Drake. Venturing along the Pacific coast of Peru, Drake and his crew stumbled upon a hidden shrine dedicated to the Emerald Goddess. Here, amidst the verdant landscapes, they unearthed a monumental emerald, evoking the presence of the revered deity.
