19th century

Salesians from Italy - Don Bosco

Don Bosco is one of the Salesians, one more priest and founder of Salesians world wide [16]. Crespi was one of Don Bosco's pupils. Press indicates that Don Bosco formed an "army of priests", but in connection with help and training for poor population. One of Don Bosco's "army" was Carlos Crespi Croci [64].

Because of this Crespi is always mentioned in connection with Mr. Don Bosco [14]. For example "Father Crespi" is called as a "pupil of Don Bosco" in a text of Rigoberto Cordero and Leon of 24 February 1975 [24]. Others call Crespi a "true model of Salesian" [40].

Crespi's Scientific works are spread in all the world and ware also recognized in other countries [28].

Crespi presenting Amazon jungle in publications and books to the whole world

Crespi describes what he is doing:

"I closed myself up in the jungle of Eastern Ecuador, seeing the wonderful beautifulness describing the plants and the animals, the rock formations, all it's richness, and I put my focus on the description of medical plants and presented them with drawings, in books and in publications in international reviews, in public organs in Mexico and in North America." [72]

Another journalist is telling like this:
"He studied botany and and the Eastern animal world with all basic data, he knew the customs of the different Amazonian tribes in a scientific view, and add to this he made some documentaries about the natives of our Amazon region, which today have a great value." [74]

Father Crespi in Mariahilf church
Crespi was priest in Mariahilf church in Cuenca giving there is sermons and organized "Christian" festivities, giving communions [30]. Add to this he was hearing the "confessions". For this men and women had to make separated queue. Crespi was saying: <"You should not repeat this another time" and liberated us with three sermons of Avemaria penitential prayers and with a soft clasp on the cheek. And we stayed like this with a feeling flying in the air with a big peace feeling, with this feeling of luck that only can give a saint.> [38]

Crespi's passion was working in the confessional box, and he even was sleeping there many times [45]. When children are lying Crespi said that this would be "normal" [18].

Priest Crespi was always making his tour with a bell and was forgiving "sins" of the children giving sweets to them - this is the indication of contemporary witness Julio [13], and priest Crespi also gave to the old [63].

The Tayos cave and Crespi
According to contemporary witness Moricy, Crespi is the detector of the tunnels of the Tayos cave [7] respectively Crespi is the first white man detecting the tunnels of the Tayos cave. Natives always new about this cave].


1936/1937

In the years 1936 and 1937, Crespi is collecting the funds for the foundation of a Salesian Popular School [41].

Crespi is founder of Salesian Popular School, later renamed "Cornelio Merchán"
This school is "for the poor, for the without value preparing them for their future", for lower class and middle class children [28].

Crespi is "leading founder" of this school "Cornelio Merchán" [7].

The first director of Salesian Popular School is Mr. Nicolás Escandón, and there were more teachers like Mr. Vélez Lucero, Emiliano Oyervide and Mr. Nivelo. The authorities made some difficulties giving the condition to the school that there should be a "scientific base". That's why Crespi was beginning collecting archaeological artefacts, and this was the beginning of famous Crespi Museum [41].

Until 1936 only the "upper class children had access to education institutions" [28] and poor children were with their parents or in the street [41]. With Salesian Popular School this was changing now [28].

Salesian Popular School (later renamed in "Merchán School") was beginning with 100 children in 4 grades [41], with a monthly fee of 2 Sucres for each child, then 5, but then coming down to 1 Sucre per child because of economical crises [42]. Maximum were 1,500 children in Crespian institutes of education [43].

"Crespi Museum" and archaeological artifacts of Shuar natives in Macas

-- Crespi is the founder of the famous museum [5] with it's archaeological collection which began with the foundation of his institutes of education [41]

-- according to the witness Gabriel D'Annunzio Baraldi, Crespi is indicating clearly that the natives [Shuar primary nation] has also got stony pyramids from former times on their territory, and there would be "great treasures" in these territories yet [5], and with these archaeological artifacts "the museum was formed" [6]

-- Shuar natives come to Crespi getting healings and are giving figurines and metal plates from Tayos cave as salary for the healings [32]

respectively it was like this:

-- Coango natives of Shuar primary nation gave Crespi some precious objects, also statues and stone tablets with inscriptions, and also graved plates etc. [54]

-- but according to some rumors also cheaters are said having had their part in these events selling forged sheet plates to Crespi abusing the benevolence of Crespi [18].

Founder of School of Arts and Handicrafts

Add to this Crespi made a pavilion install for his School of Arts and Handicrafts [28].

This School of Arts and Handicrafts was comprising
-- schooling in mechanics
-- schooling in joinery (woodwork)
-- schooling in tailoring (dressmaking)
-- schooling in printing
-- schooling in shoemaker [28].

By the time the school was converted into a "Salesian Technical Institute Cornelio Merchán" [28].

Cornelio Merchán was one more philanthropic person in the service of priest Crespi, with fortune and personality working in projects against poverty in Cuenca [29].

Crespi also gave technical courses for children [18]. Crespi was always more important for Cuenca: "His presence was our alimentation, and he had his lunch on the earth of Cuenca, and this earth was a part of his life and was alimentation of the Andes of Southern Ecuador." [64]


Crespi is a model for charitable gifts and for a justice with equality

-- Crespi is an absolute worker and even escaped sometimes from hospital continuing his work when he was interned
-- Crespi is for an absolute equality and also accepts children who first seem to be hopeless in his institutions of education, but he says that it's better for the child being in the school than being in the street [41]
-- Crespi exempts the monthly fee to many poor families when they cannot pay [43]
-- Crespi is making propaganda for his alimentation caring well the stomach and is even giving vegetables to his teachers friends, "cabbage, carrots, lettuce etc." [43] with the indication that cabbage soup would be the best for caring it's stomach [44], and he is always drinking much mineral water [45]
-- according to witness Julio Crespi himself had not many clothes, and his frock was old already, but he did not want to have a new one [13].

Many languages

Add to this Crespi is also speaking many languages:

-- Italian
-- Spanish
-- French
-- Shuara [9]
-- Latin [22].

And one beautiful day Crespi gets the Ecuadorian passport and is an "adopted" Ecuadorian [74].


1937-1941

-- Crespi is headmaster of "Mariahilf sanctuary" [7].

1938

-- Crespi is organizing the "First Eucharist Congress" in Cuenca
-- with this congress Crespi is installing himself as an "apostolic Christian model", as an "outstanding admirer of arts, sciences, music and film" [7].

Crespi's work is a big contribution for whole Ecuador [7].


1943

Crespi with his "School of Arts and Handicrafts"

Later this school is renamed in "Salesian Technical School Cornelio Merchán" [7].

Crespi with the "Oratorium festivities"

This institution is for poor children and youths in the 1930s and 1940s, born in Cuenca [7]. The festivities were in the local of Mariahilf until 1964 [9]:
-- Crespi gives sweets

-- and all this was organized with a bell calling the children [9].

All in all Crespi was dedicating all his life and wisdom to the state of Ecuador [10]. Guayaquil square is one of Crespi's activity centers [11].

Memories of contemporary witnesses

Crespi and his films and theater

Crespi's cinema is well memorized by contemporary witnesses, e.b. by witness Julio with the indication of Laurel and Hardy and films about Eastern Ecuador about the natives [13]. These films about Eastern Ecuador and about the natives are also shown abroad, for example are taken to other continents by German technicians [46]. Crespi also could make jokes about himself, for example declaring: "This is a givalo - that is a tiger - and this is a donkey" (pointing at himself].

Crespi was collaborating also with other teachers
-- performing comedy sketches to the children (in Quechua: wawas)
-- showing some art performances
-- and the children were laughing until they were "gasping for air" [13].

The artist collaborating with Crespi - also teaching in the schools - were:
-- Enrique Arce
-- Tuarto Ortiz who only had one eye
-- Coboz
-- Nivelo [13].

Padre Crespi had a big film collection [46].

Crespi's cinema respective his "popular theater" was organized on Sundays regularly. Crespi was separating boys (above) and girls (down) - this is the indication of contemporary witness Tello [16]. Another contemporary witness indicates the separation of the banks "right for women and left for men" [35]. There were cowboy films, Chaplin films and films of Laurel and Hardy [16].

Add to this there were Tarzan jungle films, Tarzan treasure cave films, Tarzan pigmaean films with "magic world of African jungle". More films were "solidary inhabitant", or Errol Flynn, Laurel and Hardy, Charles Chaplin, Tree Musketeers [35], Robin Hood [36], and Walt Disney films [47]. Some films gave in impression of the "seventh art": "Magic man of Oz, the mines of king Salomo, adventure in Birmania, Treasure Island, Shouting of the Lion, documentaries about Salesian mission in Eastern Ecuador" [34]. During Holy Week films about [the Jewish white man] "Jesus" with his cross which was harming much to children's heart [35]. Some of the films also were lost [47] [by "unknown reasons". Theft is happening in the best places. Jesus cannot be taken earnest because he claims that all the world should believe in him. By this he is racist against all other cultures].

In this cinema of Crespi there was a highly emotional atmosphere with much applause as if there had been a life theater [35], first after Crespi's introduction opening the curtain, and then with any hero scenery in the film. After the film the children were playing basket ball or got milk powder and yellow cheese [36]. All in all Crespi with his films was a "man interceding illusions from a wonder world with adventures and much laughing." [37]

Crespi's talent

Crespi was a Salesian priest, teacher, musician, conductor, anthropologist, botanist, artist, organizer of cinemas, and add to this he was humanist. This tells a web site [17].

Crespi also was a writer and composer, writing poems and music for his music group [16], for example a hymn for his institute, e.g. for the "Handicraft School Carlos Crespi" [20] or he composed an "Eucharist hymn" for other poems of Luis Cordero da Vila [23]. Crespi was a composer of "hymns, marches and songs". [61]

Crespi also had a fine humor talent always devaluating himself as a "gringo" [21].

Crespi as music teacher

Padre Crespi - this is the indication of contemporary witness Julio -
-- was a musician, could orchestrate, and could also play many instruments
-- Crespi also tought music instruments like clarinet, trumpet, trombone and tuba / tube [13].

The music band
-- Crespi is conducting a music band, "The Shalicos" ("Los Shalicos") [26], a "music and war band", "mainly with school children, with well educated musicians of the quarter and of the "School for Arts and Crafts", and they were performing very well, also with well known people of Cuenca [30]

or:

-- also other were leading this music group: <The band was founded with pupils of School for Arts and Crafts, and the first conductor was Mr. Gazzolli. Then there were pupils of Merchán School with the director Vicente Escandón, and then there was master Auquilla taking over the conducting.> [45]


Crespi as teacher of mechanics

Padre Crespi - this says contemporary witness Julio
-- was educating mechanics and technicians
-- was installing a school for tailors and another school for carpenter
-- was educating tailors, painters ans musicians [13].

Crespi as an organizer of help for the poor

Father Crespi - this says contemporary witness Julio
-- was organizing free clothes from the States ("U.S.A.") and gave these clothes to the poor for free
-- he had striking strange trousers
-- shirts
-- and Crespi also was giving trousers to his assistants as a reward [13].

The village "La Quisa" ("ripe banana") is one of the villages where the Salesians were working [13].

Crespi also was "priest" of taxi drivers

Crespi also blessed a fleet of taxis. This can be seen e.g. on photos of Vicente Tello [15]. Mariahilf community had it's own taxi driver group serving for the public [16].

Crespi as a healer

Father Crespi could heal with "wonders". For example there was the case of a baby which was considered dead and was brought to Crespi, and after the session the baby was living again [19].

Another version is telling this story like this: The child of Mr. Nivelo was heavily ill and the normal doctors were indicating only the death already. Getting the last blessing the son was brought to Crespi who gave is blessing, but within 2 or 3 hours the boy was healthy again [48].

Another case it the case of the father of Mr. Nivelo who was that ill that the normal doctors were only recommending an operation, but the father of Mr. Nivelo never wanted any operation but went to Crespi who did not want any operation either but healed him without operation [49].

Crespi also has got methods against plagues and can eliminate plagues of slugs making a cross over the earth and giving holy water on the earth [67].


1950s apr.

Tayos caves: The cave should be used as a "tunnel" [in military sense]
-- according to contemporary witness Gabriel D'Annunzio Baraldi there was a project converting the tunnels in the Tayos cave as a geo strategic [military] project having a connection between Ecuador and "the other involved nations" [7].

19 July 1962, at 1 o'clock in the night

Fire
[9]

The fire destroys:
-- primary school [9], secondary school [16]
-- school for technique [9] respectively technical equipment [16]
-- the museum [9] respectively parts of the museum, other parts can be solved [32]
-- the theater [9]
-- many instruments of the music band are destroyed but are replaced by Salesian leaders (Aspirantado) [45].

Mariahilf church is NOT burning - but is destroyed only after for the space for the new Salesian school

The book of Luis Garcia Carpio is indicating that also Mariahilf church had burnt in the fire catastrophe [9], and also contemporary witnesses claim this, but original photos of photographer Vicento Tello show absolutely and precisely that Mariahilf church was NOT damaged by the fire, but Salesians built a little church in the center of the block of houses, and only then Mariahilf church was destroyed for having space for the new construction of the new Salesian school [15].

Thesis about the fire catastrophe

Thesis with a candle: Contemporary witness Julio indicates: The fire of 1962 had been provoked by a candle, by a drinker musician José Yagaicela, pianist and organist. Going to sleep he had forgotten to douse the candle and therefore the fire catastrophe had destroyed the whole block of houses [13].

Thesis with an electrical short: Contemporary witness Vicente Tello, photographer, indicates: The fire of 1962 had been provoked by an electrical short in the building [16].

Thesis with an attack with fuel: Another thesis of some contemporary witnesses indicates that there had been an attack of two persons with fuel bottles coming in a car. Add to this the Salesians had received much money from abroad by this fire and there is even the thesis that this fire had been deliberately and that there had been a world wide manipulation getting more power in Cuenca [18].

Thesis of a robbery and a deliberate fire
Ufologist and investigator of Cuenca, Jaime Rodriguez [55] admits that "some unknown people had robbed golden plates and then had put fire on the Crespi Museum" [56].



Reconstruction - the cinema after the fire

One day after the fire already Crespi is looking for help for a reconstruction. Above all the cinema was reorganized rapidly in Uruguay school with a big fabric - and Crespi was purchasing chairs in 9 October street [46].

Contemporary witness Vicente Tello, the photographer of Cuenca, indicates that the cinema after the fire had been reorganized rapidly: people coordinated their works and even brought their chairs themselves, also tables and more furniture. Cinema was organized in the inner courtyard with a provisional wooden frame and a big fabric. This also show original photos of photographer Tello [15] [16].

Even children were giving Crespi things for the reconstruction of Merchán school, e.g. there was a child giving a peseta which made big impression to Crespi - following the indication of contemporary witness Mercedes Morales Rodil [50].


29 January 1967
Crespi celebrating his "holy golden wedding"
[9]


23. Juli 1969

A Hungarian in Argentina, János Moricz, testifying about the golden plates in Tayos cave

János Moricz is declaring with a notary, that

-- that he had been in different caves in Morona Santiago province in Ecuador and had found some metal plates with reliefs, and these plates would tell a history of a forlorn civilization

-- the metal plates had drawings and inscriptions with words [54].


since 1972

Erich von Däniken describing Cuenca in his books
-- the museum of priest Crespi in Cuenca is described in his book "El Mensaje de los Dioses" ("The Message of the Gods")
-- and the figurines and metal plates of Shuar culture of Tayos cave are described in his book "El Mensaje de los Dioses" ("The Message of the Gods") [32]
-- and especially the Tayos caves are described in his bestseller "El oro de los dioses" ("The Gold of the Gods")  [57]

and all this was told to the whole world now [32].

Mormons think that the metal plates of Tayos cave would be theirs
When Mormons read the Däniken books, they believe that the golden plates of Tayos cave would be the lost plates of Mormon prophet Joseph Smith who is said having got the metal plates from angel Moroni [58]. The similarity of the names of angel Moroni and the geographic name Morona is electrifying the Mormons absolutely [59].

Crespi museum stays without order
Unfortunately as it seems Crespi does not believe much in the archaeological artifacts of Shuar natives of Tayos cave and there is never made any classification or numbering of the artifacts. Other scientific sectors don't take earnest the archaeological artifacts either [14].

1 November 1972

Vespertine school "Carlos Crespi Croci"
Colonel Vicente Anda Aguirra begins his work in Carlos Crespi Croci school with the permission of Cuenca Education Board. That is "like a dedication of thankfulness to the former Salesian pupil
-- of Cornelio Merchán school
-- of School of Arts and Crafts, and
-- of Salesian Technical Institute Cornelio Merchán." [10]

And by this the memory is saved [10].


from 1972 on apr.

Tayos caves: mural paintings are indications for cultures with aliens

-- ufologist Jaime Rodriguez (Ecuadorian) detects mural paintings and indicates that these would be from cultures with aliens
-- ufologist Erich von Däniken (a Swiss) means the same that the mural paintings would be from cultures with aliens.

Both indicate that "these caves were a base of cultures with aliens and this would be proved by the mural paintings." [7]


Mormon leaders decide that there should be a "mission" with Neil Armstrong to the Tayos cave for robbing the metal plates

The text shows it clearly:

<Mormon leaders decided that Neil Armstrong was entrusted for bringing home the precious religious relic.> [59]

(orig. Spanish:
<Los líderes mormones decidieron que Neil Armstrong debería ser el encargado de descubrir la preciada reliquia religiosa.> [59])

1976

Tayos cave: robbery by the expedition of Neil Armstrong

A group with Neil Armstrong visits the cave (Neil Armstrong was the first man putting his feet on the soil of a moon studio officially). The group consisted in delegates of the "USA", of England and of Japan. They robbed 7 or 11 "boxes" with archaeological artifacts. Until today nobody knows what was robbed precisely [7]. The original text:

<The cave had been visited already before, among others by personalities like astronaut Neil Armstrong [...] who had been there together with a delegation of the U.S.A., England and Japan in 1973. There had been stolen 7 boxes, according to other sources 11 boxes. The content of the boxes is unknown until today.> [7]

(original Spanish:
<Cueva que posteriormente fue visitada, entre otras personalidades, por el astronauta Neil Armstrong [...] que en unión de delegados de EE.UU., Inglaterra y Japón en 1973, se llevaron como siete cajones, según otros fueron once, de los cuales hasta hoy se desconoce su contenido.>) [7]

Another text indicates details describing that Neil Armstrong had been there in a Mormon "mission" for robbing the metal plates, but the metal plates could not be found - this indicates the text:

<Mormon leaders decided that Neil Armstrong was commissioned to find the precious religious relic. So, a group of scientists and Ecuadorian military officers [probably corrupted by "U.S.A."] was on the way to the jungle to the Shuar native territories well known in the East for their shrunken head production. At the top of the expedition was Neil Armstrong. After 35 days of march they came to a mountainous region which seemed very irregular. They were in the Northern slopes of Condor mountain chain (cordillera del Cóndor), and they found there dark entrances to a huge cave. From the beginning the giant dimension of the cave was confirmed, and also the strongest lamps were not capable to lighten the whole building where could have been put entire churches.

But the expedition of Neil Armstrong could not find the famous golden plates library, but only the existence of lintels and cut stone blocks could be confirmed. Their forms were absolutely similar to cut stones [by magic instruments]. At the end the Ecuadorian jungle expedition took four sealed boxes with them and it was not allowed to the Shuar natives to open them for seeing what they took with them. This provoked a big feeling of cheat with the natives. As it seems the boxes contained archaeological precious objects with little figurines which had a big value for the natives.> [59]

(original Spanish:
<Los líderes mormones decidieron que Neil Armstrong debería ser el encargado de descubrir la preciada reliquia religiosa. Así, en julio de 1976 un grupo de científicos y militares ecuatorianos [probablemente corrumpidos por los "EUA"] se abrió paso a través de la selva donde moran los indios shuares, mitificados en Occidente como los reductores de cabezas. Al frente de la expedición se encontraba Neil Armstrong. Después de 35 días de marcha, llegaron a una zona montañosa e irregular, situada en las faldas septentrionales de la cordillera del Cóndor, donde encontraron una oscura boca de entrada a una inmensa cueva. Desde el principio se confirmó la inmensidad de las cavidades interiores, donde ni las más potentes linternas eran capaces de alumbrar en su totalidad las estancias, que podían albergar catedrales enteras.

La expedición de Neil Armstrong no encontró la famosa biblioteca de oro, pero sí logró confirmar la existencia de dinteles y bloques de piedra cortados, cuyas formas parecían claramente artificiales [con instrumentos mágicos]. Finalmente, la expedición se llevó de la selva ecuatoriana cuatro cajas de madera selladas que no permitieron abrir a los indios shuaras, quienes se sintieron engañados y estafados. Al parecer, las cajas contenían restos arqueológicos consistentes en estatuillas de gran valor para los indígenas.>) [59]

Another text confirms again this action with more details: Local natives report to Cuenca ufologist and investigator Jaime Rodriguez a robbery:

<Rodriguez also confirmed that "English military officers taking part in the expedition to Tayos cave in 1976 had taken seven nailed up boxes and nobody was allowed to see what was in the boxes. This reported the natives to me who were living near the cave." According to this study the transport of the boxes was performed with an agent of English secret service who was even living in Quito.> [56]

(original Spanish:
<Rodriguez asegura también que "los militares ingleses que participaron de la expedición a los Tayos en 1976 se llevaron siete cajas de madera clavadas. Nadie sabía lo que había dentro. Eso me lo contaron los indígenas que viven cerca de las cuevas". Según este estudioso, el traslado de las cajas se hizo con ayuda de un agente de la inteligencia inglesa que aún vive en Quito.>) [56]

1975 apr.

Inauguration of the Salesian Polytechnic University (Universidad Politécnica Salesiana (UPS) - Crespi is inaugurating "Carlos Crespi" theater

This theater is a big theater hall for 500 persons and with this the memory of Crespi is maintained for ever [11].

Salesians also have an agricultural university (Universidad Agrícola) in Don Bosco Avenue - following the indication of contemporary witness Julio [13].

Where had been the old Salesian school (Colegio Salesiano) before, there is today a book printing edition, the "LNS" edition - following the indication of contemporary witness Julio [13].


Crespi also is compared with Jesus

In a poem of L.G.C. without date Crespi is compared with Jesus spreading his "passionate love [...], tenderness and softness" [25].

28 November 1978

Journalists looking for a successor for Crespi

Example: journalist Luis Moscoso Vega from the newspaper "Mercury" (orig. "El Mercurio") indicates clearly that there should be found a successor for Crespi and his institutions:

"This is the most important issue because he really is not in a good health. It's an obligation to find a new and modern person fulfilling the functions which were fulfilled by noble Father Crespi. Then Crespis last days would be sweetened with joy and peace what he also deserves, and at the same time with tranquility and respect of the best relationship [...] In Cuenca there are such persons having the will and the enthusiasm, above all friends of Salesian house who are in the obligation to contribute something as inhabitants of Cuenca and in the name of all to serve for welfare, benefits and service which was served by Father Crespi for long years to our society."

(orig. Spanish:
"Más que nada porque se encuentra realmente en mala situación, es obligatorio buscar como levantar otro moderno y funcional, que satisfaga la noble intención del Padre Crespi y le endulzare sus últimos días merecedores de regocijo, de paz y de contemplación de las mejores realizaciones. [...] Existen estas personas en Cuenca, que tiene la voluntad y el afán y existen, sobre todo, los amigos de la casa salesiana que están en la obligación de pagar como cuencanos y a nombre de todos ellos, el bien, el favor y el servicio que por tantos largos años se ha ofrendado el Padre Crespi a nuestra sociedad.") [65].

1979

Second decoration of honor for Crespi as an "Excellent Educator of First Class" ("Mérito Educacional" de "Primera Clase")

Representatives of Education Minister - Lcdo. Humberto Vacas Gómez - decorates Crespi another time (as in 1956 already) with the <Medal of honor of "First Class" for education> (<Condecoración al Mérito Educacional de "Primera Clase">) [9].

31 January 1979

Projects for a transfer of Crespi Museum to the Central Bank of Ecuador

An article of newspaper "Mercury" ("El Mercurio"9 of 31 January 1979 describes a project to place Crespi Museum in Central Bank (Banco Central):

Many inhabitants of Cuenca have gathered and looked for a solution of the problem where the Crespi Museum should remain when Crespi is eventually going to the sky, and the results are the following solutions:

-- Crespi Museum has to stay in Cuenca as a "cultural heritage"
-- but until these days any "classification" of the archaeological artifacts is missing eliminating falsifications or imitations, but many of them are authentic
-- any registration and systematization are missing in this museum
-- Central Bank of Ecuador offered to fulfill this task together with Cultural Board [66]
-- Crespi Museum should be allowed maintaining this name, also when it's taken over by Central Bank of Ecuador
-- Crespi Museum should be a "point of reference for more studies of the old cultures of Ecuador" [67].


31 January 1979

Crespi Museum - collection of archaeological artefacts of the natives - and collection of paintings and more

An article of daily newspaper "Mercury" ("El Mercurio") of 31 January 1979 (without indication of the author) [67] and another article of daily newspaper "Time" ("El Tiempo") of 10 March 1980 of Mr. Polivio Idrovo Aguilar [71] are listing the content of the Crespi Museum collection. According to Crespi the Crespi Museum is an "archaeological museum, a sculpture museum, and a collection of paintings" (Pictórico) [72]:

Figurines and statues: Crespi museum contains many objects of different cultures of the primary nations:
-- Tacalzhapa
-- Narrio
-- Cazhaloma
-- imperial Inca culture
-- Valdivia
-- La Tolita
and so on [67].

Some articles describe some figurines and statues as "archaeological findings of Mesopotamian or Egypt origin" with the thesis that between the cultures of the Andes and of Mediterranean had been a connection. This Crespi Museum will also be "one of the most important centers for research and culture information." [67]

According to Crespi there are also sculptures which were made "with the gouge of El Montañez, El Padre Bedón, Legarda, Caspicara, Sangurima, Vélez and Alvarado". And add to this Crespi is describing the following: "There are dozens of bigger and little jars and these have a priceless value as cultural ceramics, with brilliant elegance with it's stylized ornamental painting in a way of arabesque method." [71]

Another journalist is describing archeology in Crespi Museum in the following way - in the article "A deserved award" (orig. Spanish: "Una merecida condecoración") in  the daily newspaper "Time" ("El Tiempo") of 11 January 1982:

"His museum is also a part of life of legends of this religious Salesian. Despite of many objects without value which Father Crespi purchased more by goodwill, there are archaeological findings in this museum, [...] and there are not only a few objects which can bring some light into the dark of our past describing them well by investigations." [75]

(orig. Spanish:
"Su museo forma también parte de la anecdótica vida del religioso salesiano. Pese a muchos objetos carentes de valor, y que el Padre Crespi lo adquiría más por bondad, existieron también en dicho museo valiosas piezas arqueológicas, [...] y no pocos objetos que, con investigaciones más pormenorizadas, podrían arrojar no poca luz sobre nuestro pasado." [75])

Paintings: Crespi Museum also contains a collection of paintings of popular painters and some of local Colonial culture collected "in the last years". This collection of paintings (pinacotheca) should also be maintained. Some of the paintings are also in a deposit of the House of Cultures (Casa de la Cultura) [67]. According to Crespi there are among other things paintings of famous European painters like "Miguel Ángel, Rafael, Goya, Zurbarán and others", and there are works of Ecuadorian painters of Miguel de Santiago, Goribar, Samaniego, Rodríguez, los Salas, Villacreses, Salguero, Pinto, Troya, Cadenna, Mideros, Alvarado, Moreno Serrano, and the well honored Vásquez and another number of unknown artists to whose I have no remembrance at the moment. The paintings are painted on fabric, on wood, on ivory, on marble, on alabaster, on cupper, on glass etc." [71]

Canes and "Christian" objects: Crespis further indications are: "There is also a collection of Spanish canes with knobs in ivory,in silver and in wood, and there are swords, some in steel, others with persisting peaks; there are also original relics and crucifixes from Europe; and there could be listed more and more what is in my museum yet." [71]

(orig. Spanish:
Crespi indica: "una colección de bastones españoles con puños labrados en marfil, plata y madera, con estoques de acero, unos, y otros con armas punzantes; una serie de relicarios y crucifijos de origen europeo; y así, por el orden, largo sería describir todo cuanto constituye mi museo." [71]

The journalist means that the archaeological objects should not be sold:

"Works and findings of this class are not permitted to be merchandise. They have a cultural value, an inner value, a priceless value." [68]

Mr. Polivio Idrovo Aguilar is one of the staff members with Crespi Museum [71].


9 August 1979

Central Bank of Ecuador purchasing Crespi Museum - but 10 million Sucres is nothing for this collection

-- Dr. Rodrigo Espinosa Bermeo approves with his signature the purchase of Crespi Museum
-- cost are 10 million Sucres
-- with this purchase "of this cultural Salesian collection there was made a strict selection naming those valuable objects which are cultural heredity"
-- Central Bank of Ecuador considered "6,500 peaces of the museum as legitimate and precious"
From these
-- 1,100 are paintings of colonial times and of 19th century and an original carpet of Goya
-- 200 colonial sculptures
-- 500 ceramics, also colonial
-- and there are 1,000 precious archaeological ethnographic objects which can be placed in Ethnographic Museum of Central Bank in Pumapungo
-- the objects will be in a provisional deposit [69].

[But there is one thing: The metal relief plates are not mentioned!!!]

With the money of 10 million Sucres the Salesians will build a new Salesian school, Carlos Crespi school with free entrance and with modern equipments [70] [this school is built on the territory where the great Mariahilf church had been before].

Crespi is not at all happy with this low price for a collection of archaeological objects and paintings as he tells this to journalist Polivio Idrovo Aguilar in the daily newspaper "Time" ("El Tiempo") from 10 March 1980:

"Add to this I could hear by local press that my bosses according to the statutes and monastic laws and commercial agreement of the government have sold the museum to Central Bank of Ecuador, to the branch of Cuenca [72] for the sum of 10 million Sucres, and when we consider right the Sucres so there are resulting only 3.5 (three and half) million sucres for this sale, and this value is not even the estimated value of one Goya. I finish my conversation, Mr. Idrovo. Go with God!..." [73]

(orig. Spanish:
"Más, a última hora, por medio de la prensa local llegó a mi conocimiento de que mis superiores conforme a Estatutos y Leyes Conventuales y acuerdos comerciales de gobierno han enajenado el museo a favor del Banco Central del Ecuador, Sucursal en Cuenca [72], por la suma de diez millones de sucres y si tomamos por sucres, resultan tres millones y medio el precio total de venta, valor que no llega a cubrir la cantidad apreciativa de un Goya. Termino mi conversación señor Idrovo, ¡Hágase la voluntad de Dios!..." [73])

1976 (32 years before 2008) [5] [11] or 9 July 1980 [39]

Sale of Crespi Museum to a bank - Central Bank of Ecuador does not take so earnest the value of Crespi collection
-- Crespi Museum is sold to Central Bank of Ecuador with all it's objects [5]
-- Central Bank is paying 10 million Sucres to the Salesians [39]
-- in 1980 one dollar is 25 Sucres, so, 10 million Sucres are 400.000 dollars [33].

With the 10 million Sucres the Salesians are building their new Salesian School - in this place where the big Mariahilf cathedral had been before [39].

The figurines are brought to the Central Bank, but the relief plates stay - by an unknown reason - with the Salesians. Exist different rumors about the relief plates (see the investigation in 2012). Central Bank is not capable to install an exhibition with the figurines. There is not one single relief plate at Central Bank, nor an exhibition of paintings or statues is NOT installed either. It seems - whereas Erich von Däniken has published some archaeological objects of Crespi in his books presenting them to all the world - it seems that this Central Bank did not take earnest the value of the figurines and relief plates. And also a museum with the precious paintings and statues is missing [14].


9 January 1982

Crespi is honored by Italian government with a "Medal of merit"

Italian ambassador in Ecuador, Mr. Bernardino Ossio, is handing the "Medal of honor in the grade of the Great Commander" out to Crespi ("Condecoración de Orden al Mérito en el Grado de Gran Comendador"). This is the highest decoration of Italy - for the educational work as a "missionary" [10].

Crespi is declared as "adoptive son of Cuenca town"

This happens the same day on 9 January 1982, declared by the mayor of Cuenca, Pedro Córdova Álvarez and the Canton Council (Consejo Cantonal) [10].


30 April 1982

Death of Padre Crespi
at 6 o'clock in the evening with 91 years in the clinic Santa Inés in Cuenca [10]. Cuenca town is "crying on the day of his death as it had been it's dearest son" [38].

After the death there are people who see Padre Crespi in Mariahilf Park walking in the air [19].

The poorer children see a "savior" in him [...] in the moments of pain and hopelessness [10], with hunger and misery [11]. "He will live on in the hearts of the population." [11]

Up to his death the Salesians never have organized any festivity in the honor of Padre Crespi. It has to be a "holy" person for whom there would be a festivity [16].


1985 apr.

Construction of the Crespi monument in Mariahilf Park
[11]

According to contemporary witness Julio this Mariahilf Park was a little soccer field with goals before [13]. On this Guayaquil square were "sportive events for children and youthes and for neighbors of the quarter and from other locations taking part in the competition games and events who were organized here." [31]

Today the Salesian school has got it's soccer field in the inner patio of it's school - where had been Mariahilf cathedral before [14].

Then Guayaquil square was renamed officially into Carlos Crespi Square [11] [26].


2007 apr.

Author Luis Garcia Carpio inventing the title "The apostle of the poor" ("El Apóstol de los Pobres")

This is the title for a biography of Crespi. Crespi is a symbol in the cultural, educational, religious and socio economic view [10].

2008

Festivity of a "Crespi week"
[11]

30 April 2008
Edition of a Crespi stamp
The stamp with Carlos Crespi Croci is designed in the Salesian Technical University (Universidad Politécnica Salesiana (UPS) and is edited by Ecuadorian National Mail under their president Roberto Cavanna [11]. The edition is 40,000 stamps and 1,400 stamped envelopes. The stamp's value is 2 dollars [12].


2009

Publication of the biography about Crespi "The apostle of the poor" ("El Apóstol de los Pobres")
written by the former Salesian pupil Dr. Luis García Carpio, his office in in Sucre street 6-60 in Cuenca, office no. 304 A where the book can be purchased (8am-1pm and 2-7pm) [14].

Project to be holy
Add to this there is the project that Padre Crespi would be canonized by Rome. The documentation for this project is with Luis Álvares in the Salesian Technical University in Cuenca. Responsible for the canonization is bishop Luciano Bellini of Christoph Columbus School (colegio Cristóbal Colón).

Cornelio Merchán is not honored
Until 2009 Cornelio Merchan stays without any award which is a "big injustice", committed by the Salesians [30].

February 2012

Historian Michael Palomino wants to see figurines and relief plates of Crespi and there is nothing shown to him

When in February 2012 Michael Palomino wants to confirm the indications of Erich von Däniken and is looking for the figurines and for the relief plates of Crespi in Cuenca

-- the Salesians in Salesian Center of Cuenca indicate that all the rest of Crespi Museum had been sold to Central Bank, but

-- representatives of the museum of Central Bank indicate that there would exist a deposit with figurines, but at the moment there would not be any curator available and therefore not one single figurine could be shown

-- ex curator of Central Bank clearly indicates that the relief plates are with the Salesians yet

-- other employees of Central Bank indicate that the employees of the 1980s have classified the objects and many were rated as precious objects (gold-plated plates, silver plates), but others were rated without value (sheet plates), and thereafter - some 20 years ago - all plates rated without value had been eliminated without considering the relief message

-- but at the end of the stay in Cuenca in February 2012 other witnesses (family members and friends of the photographer Vicente Tello) indicated that the Salesians clearly had relief plates of Crespi in their corridors, and add to this there would be relief plates of Crespi also in private houses

-- and reading the texts of the biography "The apostle of the poor" ("El apóstol de los pobres") there is the question coming up: Where are the precious paintings and statues of Crespi Museum? Can it be that the bank only wanted the paintings and statues and therefore the relief plates stayed with the Salesians?

May 2012

Historian Michael Palomino is again in Cuenca

-- the general situation with the relief plates of Crespi has not changed and the Salesians are only indicating that they would not know of anything (visit of Michael Palomino in Salesian Center of Cuenca)

-- the situation in the museum of Central Bank of Cuenca without curator also has not changed, but there are indications that there is a classification of some applicants, but until this time there would be no possibility to see any figurine of Crespi Museum in the deposit of Central Bank of Cuenca (visit of Michael Palomino in the office of Central Bank in Cuenca)

-- archaeological objects in Turin in Italy: But the general situation with the Crespi Museum changed a little bit because the writer of the biography and lawyer Dr. Luis Garcia Carpio - with his office no. 304 A in Sucre street no. 6-60 in Cuenca where it's possible to purchase the biography (opening hours 8am-1pm and 2-7pm) - he told to historian Michael Palomino in May 2012 that he had spoken with a Salesian and this Salesian had told him that the most precious parts of Crespi Museum had been shifted to Turin to Italy to the main Salesian Center there and only the cheap parts of Crespi Museum had been sold to Central Bank of Ecuador. Therefore Cuenca has lost the most precious part of Crespi Museum which is not built until today - and now the low price of 10 million Sucres is understandable because the most precious objects were not sold but shifted to Turin... and Crespi did not know anything about it...

-- paintings are in big halls in whole Ecuador: The general situation with the paintings of Crespi Museum also changed with the news of Radio RTU on 6 May 2012 publishing the fact that meanwhile many of the paintings of Crespi Museum are spread in all Ecuador as ornaments of big noble halls. Therefore also the collection of paintings of Crespi Museum was systematically destroyed - and there is no inventory with the locations where the paintings are today - and therefore Cuenca has lost a big part of Crespi Museum perhaps because of a certain corrupt custom motivated by unknown motives...

Radio RTU with it's manager Carlos Rodriguez Luzuriaga is going on with it's investigations in this case. But the fact that there are objects of value of Ecuador stolen and brought to Turin to Italy, this fact is giving to this case an international and corrupt dimension and the mayor of Cuenca and the Culture Board of Ecuador and also Interpol have got the right for investigation to get back the precious objects to Ecuador which as it seems are in Salesian Center in Turin.

Shuar natives also were cheated by Salesians when there are Shuar objects in Turin.

And whole Cuenca has not been worried about to beware the Crespi Museum, but it seems that certain government authorities have authorized the distribution of the paintings and statues in the whole country.


Conclusion: There is missing a museum

It can be stated that there is a big confusion
-- regarding archaeological objects of the Tayos cave
-- regarding the precious paintings and statues.

And nobody wants to take earnest the message of the figurines and the relief plates of Crespi, and nobody wants to organize a systematic museum for these figurines and relief plates. World cultural heritage of Cuenca is really badly managed.

In this case of the cultural heritage of Crespi there is a black energy which is not at all "Christian Catholic" but there is another thing... it's money arrogance. The scandal could not be worse.
