An Otalvo folktale allegorized the lives of obraje workers by depicting these people as mermaids who blinded men after giving them the gift of song. Stories of eye-stealing, child-snatching sacaojos who resembled these people and roamed 1980s shantytowns likely evolved from boogeyman-esque tales of the fat-harvesting pishtaco that also resembled (15[1])them. These people appeared within a black mirror attached to a bird’s forehead. After losing a battle near Titicaca, these people fled to Polynesia, according to (*) Thor Heyerdahl, who counted a bearded Virachoca among their number. A flood and a crying woman were among eight omens that preceded the arrival of these people (10[1])who gave out gifts of glass beads. For 10 points, the Florentine Codex relates how the Aztecs kissed their own canoes after encountering what people whom they associated with Quetzalcoatl’s return? ■END■
