An Indian tribe with a special tradition lives in the Amazon rainforest. All adults put a cylindrical block of wood in their lower lip. When asked why they did it, they said their creator had ordered it. They did not dare to oppose.

The shape of the block resembles a tangled beard, similar to what the Egyptian pharaohs wore.

Again, there is a mention of a god / gods who influenced the local Indian tribe…

A very impressive book on this matter is Shock of the Gods by Enrich von Daniken.
