​MEANING

They say Sugamuxi means "Temple of the Sun". But does it?

According to Mariana Escribano, author of the semantics of the vocabulary of the Chibcha language, Sugamuxi is translated as the following:

​SU: short for sun
GA: land of the first stage of evolution or antiquity
MU: earthly wisdom and knowledge
XI: accumulated understanding of the Law of the Internal Order

Sun+Earth+Antiquity+Wisdom+Knowledge+Accumulation=
​SUGAMUXI, Sacred Code=C-S=Templo del Sol of the Sacred Valley of YRAQA

So you see, translating word for word does not apply in the Chibcha tradition. In doing so, the nuances of a poetic language become lifeless and stale. Sugamuxi is an ideogram which describes the beginning of the entire history of Earth and Man, a history beyond words.

Chibcha is a highly advanced language spoken by the Muisca people that is said to have seamlessly harmonized with the sounds of nature; thought to have been extinct, is being brought back to life by the ancestors of Sugamuxi and beyond.​

Muiscas were astronomers and keen observers of mother nature
