The Lost White City of the Monkey God. La Blanca
To condense the folklore of the Honduras/Nicar/Nicaragua indians:
According to local indian legends, the Ulak where half-ape half men who took beautiful women from the primitive tribes to breed more monkeys in honor of the Monkey God. This would keep them in bush meat. Great is the Monkey God. And great where his orgy celibrations and festivities.
The culture and religion was suppressed by the Roman Catholics. Boring bastards.
There are indications that 'transforming' Jaguar Priests would pounce on any wrong-doers who were women who refused the rites in blasphemy of Monkey God and jeopardized the replacement of monkeys (my magic believed in but not biologically sound). Then Sacrifice them, go Islamic State on them, and possibly cook them. Woe to the grave not-monkey-fucked blasphemers!
Indeed so. Quite right to imo.
Such, rival tribes said, were the Ulak Land; cannibals; for they ate monkeys. Spirit joke.
'...Culturally, you had the well-known Aztecs, Olmecs and Mayas to the northwest. The Maya site of Copán, which is to the west. The Incan empire was to the south — it reached as far north as Ecuador — along with the Chibchans, who dominated much of pre-Columbian Colombia but are less well-known to the general public
This area in Honduras lies between all of those cultures. Only further research will reveal who these ancient people of early Mosquitia really were....'

'Among the Classic Mayas, the howler monkey god was a major deity of the arts - including music - and a patron of the artisans, especially of the scribes and sculptors.[1] As such, his sphere of influence overlapped with that of the Tonsured Maize God.
The monkey patrons - there are often two of them - have been depicted
on Classic vases in the act of writing books (while stereotypically
holding an ink nap) and carving human heads. Together, these two
activities may have constituted a metaphor for the creation of mankind...'
The 'Choralu'Tega' ie Citizens of Cholu had a different spin; humans (or at leat Ulak) were the creators of monkeys!
' Among the Quiché Mayas, they were less positively valued: According to the Popol Vuh, Hun-Chowen and Hun-Batz 'One-Howler Monkey' (both artists and musicians) clashed with their stepbrothers, the Maya Hero Twins, a conflict which led to their humiliating transformation into monkeys.'
This mythos sounds like the Ulak hairy humans described by rainforest indians.
ChoraluTega is Cholu.Teca in proper Nauatl (meso-mexican) and so a dialect.
The location of the limestone walled Monkey God cult city is being kept secret by the government to prevent looting of yet more artifacts.
