Timothy Alberino is an author, researcher, and explorer. His bestselling book Birthright, published in 2020, has enjoyed wide circulation and critical acclaim among scholars and laypeople alike. Birthright offers a revolutionary perspective on the biblical narrative which is helping to inform and expand the paradigms of Christians living in an age of artificial intelligence, transhumanism, and UFO disclosure. Timothy’s research interests and expertise are extensive. He has traveled around the world investigating theories in alternative history, the mystery of the megalith builders, the mythologies of ancient giants, and various aspects of the UFO phenomenon. He has hosted, produced, and directed several documentary films related to these topics and is frequently featured in television programs and podcast interviews.

In 2018, Timothy, together with Spanish explorer Anselm Pi Rambla, began leading expeditions into the Andes mountains of Peru, seeking the legendary lost cities of the Inca Empire. During the course of this daring enterprise, they discovered a hitherto unknown ruined city of Inca or pre-Inca origin called Tawri Punku. This remarkable discovery was documented in a film series soon to be released.

Timothy has always had an insatiable appetite for adventure. When he was just 18 years old, he moved to the Peruvian Amazon where he spent the rest of his formative years living with a variety of pet monkeys in the jungle city of Tarapoto, and with hunters and lumberjacks on the river Mazan, tributary to the Napo. His remarkable adaptation to Peruvian culture, and fluency in the Spanish language, have provided him with unique opportunities for exploration and research.

Timothy currently resides in Bozeman, Montana with his wife and five boys.

An End to Cruelty and a Most #Evil Trade
It's one thing to eat animals. Another to publicly torture them in ritualistic fashion.

Peruvian leaders push for end to ‘cat barbecues,’ say they are a throwback to Spanish colonial rituals

A Peruvian congressman has joined animal rights activists in their effort to stop the consumption of barbecued cats at an annual religious festival.

The activists say at least 100 cats will be eaten at this weekend’s festival of Santa Efigenia in La Quebrada, a town south of Lima. In addition to barbecues, the festival includes a variety of activities, inlcuding cat races and even live cat roasting, all of which activists say constitute animal cruelty.

Congressman Juan Urquiza joined activists this year to write the district mayor and Peru’s health minister and demand a ban on #cat-eating under a domestic animal protection law.

Activists also claim that dining on felines is a public health danger.

Health Minister Midori de Habich says the practice should be halted. But she has taken no action.

La Quebrada residents defend their tradition and say the cats sacrificed are specially bred with only a handful killed and eaten.

Urquiza claims that the cat festivals are a throwback to a 16th and 17th century European tradition of torturing and eating cats. “It has no place in the civilized world,” he said. The tradition was brought to Latin America by the Spanish and was widely practiced in the Andean region of South America.

Cat roastings were held in Cuenca in the 1700s and the Spanish Governor, Jose Antonio Vallejo, encouraged families to come to the central plaza, now Parque Calderon, on Sunday nights to watch cats in wire mesh cages being lowered into a fire. According to Gonzalez Suarez, a Spanish historian, “The caterwauling and writhing of the burning felines always delighted and amused the spectators.”

Once the animals were roasted to death, they were given to spectators to eat.

Quote Although the exact age of the Candelabra #geoglyph is unknown, archaeologists have found pottery around the site dating to around 200 BCE. This pottery likely belonged to the #Paracas people. It is not known whether they constructed the geoglyph.

Quote Playa Roja in Paracas National Reserve, #Peru
Portions of this national reserve in Peru protect the marine environment as well as the tropical desert inland. A visit to the reserve should include a trip to the deep red sands of Playa Roja. As the waters of the Pacific Ocean batter a nearby massif composed of red granite-like rock, the tide carries pulverised stone to the beach, depositing red particles on the shore.

When you’ve had your fill of the beach, head to nearby Pisco Bay to see a strange geoglyph etched into the soft stone of the hill above the coast. At nearly 600 feet tall, the ‘ #candelabra’ can be seen from 12 miles out to sea. Historians aren’t sure exactly who crafted the Paracas Candelabra, or when it was created.
