Open letter-- The Andean Explorers Foundation & Ocean Sailing Club has announced it is about to undertake its long-planned sea voyage, a 'round-the-world expedition that will take all of seven seasons. They have been diligently planning this expediton for ten years. Once their twin-hulled research vessel is completed, the seven-year voyage will commence. In fact, at the time of this writing, construction of the vessel is underway in Peru. Completion of the 75-foot ship, based on ancient Peruvian and Polynesian designs, is expected in six to eight months. After months of work with the Peruvian government, it has been resolved through the Institute of Culture that the proposed sea expedition of the AEF&OSC is of national interest to Peru. This means that they have complete and full collaboration of government institutions, which is essential to the expedition's success. In actuality, the sea expedition is an extension of their many land explorations in Peru. As you may know from previous reports, the glyph-signs they uncovered in the large metropolis of Gran Vilaya, Peru, indicate that contact by means of the sea in ancient times among cultures of the Old and New Worlds was possible -- cultures that would include those of Egypt, Israel, India, Japan, Oceania and China, among others. Not only will they be able to study old sea routes, but once in port, they will undertake comprehensive studies by which to increase our knowledge of social, economic and religious endeavors of ancient cultures. Naturally, they are on the track of information which has been lost down through the centuries. They feel this newfound knowledge will throw light upon the concepts of cultrual exchange between the Old and New Worlds. The sea expedition was announced at the Annual Awards Dinner of the AEF&OSC this past OCtober 12th, and was approved by the Board of Directors with unanimous consent of all members in attendance. They are currently seeking sponsors who would like to participate in the journey. If you are interested in participating in this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity please contact Belinda Chavin at (702)348-1818 or fax to (702)853-0858. E-mail inquires to icccsa@sierra.net will be forwarded.
