Talk:Ekeko

Removed paragraphs
These paragraphs were removed. They appear to be very poor translations from another language. (Okay, well, good efforts, but very difficult to understand when read in English!) I hope Ekeko is not offended! To make up for it I will make some external links to this article so others can improve.PBF 23:42, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

According to the students, the first indications of the existence of the "Ekeko" in the Andean culture, go back to the time of Tiwanaku, after to have found líticas pieces with the back adunco to borders of the Titikaka Lake in 1942. 1. And some others in silver in addition with the viril member to great dimensions and in turgid state. This pre-Hispanic God goes back to the classic period of the culture of Tiwanaku (Approximately 200 years before common era and 700 after the common era Formerly the Ekeko or "Ekhako", was the God of the abundance, the joy and the sexual union. Its image done in gold, silver or stone, was one of the favorites of the ancestral Andean families. 1. The form of a smiling man occurred him, with the open arms and prominent sexual organs. Were also made it of stone, clay, wood, tin plate, jute and plaster, but always with the conviction that it was about a beneficent spirit and well-being for the families. Evidence exists of which the accomplishment of objects in miniature at Hispanic times was an extended practice between the cultures of the Andean zone enough. Many of these old crafts, some identified and others without no archaeological connection clearly, can be observed in national museums and particular collections

Lead
So far the information from Antonio Paredes Candia the BBC  and the anthropologist Thomas Alan Abercrombie, identify the cult of the Ekeko with Bolivia and specifically with the city of La Paz, I consider it important to rely exclusively on the academic information because sometimes our brain can make us assume erroneous ideas and input inaccurate information. Besides I don't see enough reasons to change the categories established since the creation of this article in 2003 and lasted unaltered till 2009.  Erebedhel  -  Talk  02:08, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

Etymology and Origins
I believe that the best source so far to explain these parts is the work of Fernando Cáceres Terceros it's very concise so I'll use it to give the structure for these sections while I find more sources.  Erebedhel  -  Talk  04:03, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

Origins
This article also reflects a problem with Wikipedia. Only somebody that never lived in the area would think this is a shared celebration. This festivity happens every year since its inception in La Paz. Is a major event, every January 24th. From there, people have taken this event to other cities and places. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Izelpii (talk • contribs) 18:21, 23 October 2013 (UTC)
