Inca Labyrinth - Sun Island Bolivia


Title:
Inca Labyrinth - Sun Island Bolivia

Description:
Chinkana,the most extensive Incan ruins on the Island of the Sun. It is a relatively large site, the multiple passageways and internally connected rooms lend a maze-like feeling to this complex (hence its name, which means labyrinth). Its true purpose is not exactly known, but many suggest that it was an administration center for the nearby Sacred Rock ceremonial site, used as priests accommodations and storage facility. Nearby is the focal point of solar worship for the Inca and other pre-Columbian cultures on the Island of the Sun, the Sacred Rock - the navel of the world - from which according to the legend the sun first rose. Further on is a rock formation called "Sun's Footprints", according to the local legend, sun left these foot prints behind as it walked away from its birth place. There are magnificent sceneries of the Lake Titicaca, views of coves with beaches with snowed up peaks of Cordillera Real (Andes) as backdrop. La "Chinkana" (Laberinto) A unos 200 metros del Templo del Sol (Roca Sagrada de los Orígenes) bajando hacia el Lago Titicaca, se encuentra una construcción semisubterránea con una serie de pasillos que conducen a salas que tenían varias puertas de acceso, las que a su vez se abren hacia corredores que se bifurcan en algunos casos, en varios ramales. Por la acción del tiempo los techos, tanto de las estancias como de los pasajes, se derrumbaron. La "Chinkana" es una muestra única del tipo de construcción laberíntica en el mundo. Es posible que esta construcción hubiera sido destinada para los momentos de meditación o de iniciación de sacerdotes ligados al culto a lnti y a la Roca Sagrada. A unos 20 metros de la "Chinkana" se levanta un conjunto de ruinas en las que se destacan construcciones habitacionales de dos plantas. Las crónicas afirman que en ese lugar existían silos ("qollqas") y cuentan también, que existió un ajlla wasi o Casa de las Escogidas Vírgenes del Sol.

CARAL - Oldest city in the Americas (2 of 2) *English*
Archaeologists discovered Caral in 1905, but it received little attention until recently because they appeared to lack many typical artifacts that were sought at sites (National Geographic News, 26 April 2001, accessed 25 July 2001). Archaeologist Ruth Shady further explored the 5,000 year-old city of pyramids in the Peruvian desert, with its elaborate complex of temples, an amphitheatre and ordinary houses. The urban complex is spread out over 150 acres (607,000 m²) and contains plazas and residential buildings. Caral was a thriving metropolis at the same time that Egypt's great pyramids were being built. Pirámide Mayor covers an area nearly the size of four football fields and is 60 feet (18 m) tall. Caral is the largest recorded site in the Andean region with dates older than 2000 BCE and appears to be the model for the urban design adopted by Andean civilizations that rose and fell over the span of four millennia. Since the site is a thousand years older than the earliest civilization in the Americas, it is believed that Caral may answer questions about the origins of the Inca and the development of the first cities. Among the artifacts found in Caral was a quipu, the oldest yet found. The discovery showed that the quipu writing system, a method involving knots tied in rope, was older than any archaeologist had previously guessed. Unlike most cities, no trace of warfare at Caral has been found; no battlements, no weapons, no mutilated bodies. Shady's findings suggest it was a gentle society, built on commerce and pleasure. In one of the pyramids they uncovered 32 flutes made of pelican and condor bones and 37 cornets of deer and llama bones. They also found evidence of drug use and possibly aphrodisiacs. One find revealed the remains of a baby, wrapped and buried with a necklace made of stone beads. Caral spawns 17 other pyramid complexes scattered across the 35 square mile (90 km²) area of the Supe Valley. The find of the quipu indicates that the later Inca civilization preserved some cultural continuity from the Caral civilization.
