关于“科帕卡华纳神像”，那天我发现：这个“科帕卡华纳”神像居然是真的秘鲁神话！
我搜到一本书：The Myths of Mexico and Peru（墨西哥和秘鲁神话），作者：Lewis Spence
里面就谈到这个。相关部分的翻译如下：
Lake Worship in Peru
秘鲁的湖泊崇拜
At Lake Titicaca the Peruvians believed the inhabitants of the earth, animals as well as men, to have been fashioned by the creator, and the district was thus sacrosanct in their eyes. The people of the Collao called it Mamacota (Mother-water), because it furnished them with supplies of food. Two great idols were connected with this worship. One called Copacahuana was made of a bluish-green stone shaped like a fish with a human head, and was placed in a commanding position on the shores of the lake. On the arrival of the Spaniards so deeply rooted was the worship of this goddess that they could only suppress it by raising an image of the Virgin in place of the idol. The Christian emblem remains to this day. Mamacota was venerated as the giver of fish, with which the lake abounded. The other image, Copacati (Serpent-stone), represented the element of water as embodied in the lake itself in the form of an image wreathed in serpents, which in America are nearly always symbolical of water.
的的喀喀（注：南美洲最大的淡水湖，Titicaca 是西班牙语）湖畔的秘鲁人相信地球上所有的居民，包括动物和人，都是造物主创造的，因此它们生存区域的划分是神圣的。Collao 人称它（即：Titicaca 湖）为 Mamacota，意为“母亲之水”，因为湖泊为他们提供了食物。两个重要的神像与当地的崇拜有关。
一个神像叫 Copacahuana，由一个蓝绿色的石头，做成人头鱼身的形状，位于湖边一个居高临下的位置。当西班牙人到达时，当地人对它的崇拜是如此之深，以致于为了压制他们，只能在神像所在的位置竖立一个圣母的雕像。直到今天，这个基督教的印记仍在那里。Mamacota 湖被崇拜为“鱼的赐予者”，湖里有许多鱼。
另一个神像，Copacati，蛇形石，代表水元素，理解为：Mamacota 湖里的水盘旋成蛇的形状。在美洲，蛇几乎总是代表着水。
