Part Three Sixto Paz Wells Report, August 2010 Paititi
"Throughout the trip will be monitored by way of collective consideration, because through you will be considered the mission and the missionaries, who were on behalf of all and who are represented and support this part of the process. As the mission never evidence of internal and external support will be noticeable, and will reach the door that separates reality and cross through paths between dimensions. All the sensitized path to see what will be giving simultaneously at multiple levels. The only going to play no longer see, which traveled only to see no one will feel the reality. Our advice is to go to and see and feel and touch, hear and be shaken because all they talk, all have something to say and to communicate. "
(Sampiac, 17/05/1910)
For reasons of work could not be days before peer making preparations and working on the logistics of the expedition to Paititi 2010, taking responsability and the weight of the work and Francisco Sosa Daniel Lague Peru. They were joined Cristian Sánchez days after Argentina and Holland Patries Van Helsen support in all matters relating to make a medical kit as complete as possible, and establish adequate diet all lead.
When confirmed in 2009 guides the implementation of the new trip to Paititi had already committed all of 2010 with various travel and conferences in various parts of Peru and the world, which had to be canceled or rescheduled once we knew the exact dates . Among the activities that were agreed, it was a trip to the Cusco with an international group of people, mostly American scholars of what is shamanism. Because of the proximity to the dates of travel to Paititi, I wanted to cancel that undertaking, but the organizer of that urged me not to do so. So when traveling to Cusco and get these people to the airport in the ancient capital of the Incas, the surprise I found that those who received us were Santiago Quispe Pampamisayoq, son of Don Mariano Quispe altomisayoq the largest community of Q 'eros, guardians of ancestral Andean tradition, and Dona Maria Apas, sister of Don Mariano, and only altomisayoq women.
organizer Laurie Friedler group had reached agreement with Don Mariano for it to accompany us all the places we would visit in Cusco, to "offices" or tables of offerings to the Apus, guardian spirits of the mountains and the four elements and the Earth, the Sun, Moon and stars. At the last moment Don Mariano was considered best to stay in the snow of Ausangate, where he was fasting and meditating, sending their relatives so that we attend.
was an amazing experience to go along with these people of great wisdom, yet an exemplary humility and simplicity to the most important archaeological sites in the city and surrounding areas as: Sacsayhuaman (the hill fortress or temple of the falcon), Q'enko ( Zigzag or shrine instead of the Puma) and Tambomachay (Place the Cave of rest or also known as the Baths of the Inca), and the Coricancha (Sun Temple). Laurie
asked especially to James and Dona Maria in their kintus or offerings, as well as in their offices to call for a special protection and blessings for the thirteen people who were going to Paititi.
The degree of friendship and integration promoted by the Qeros Laurie (who are the guardians from five hundred years ago the Inca Trail that descends from the mountains of Paucartambo to the jungles of Mother of God), was such that they asked us to be godparents the son of James and son of Manuel, nephew of James, so that not only conditions were to receive on behalf of the expedition the best blessings of those people who are masters of spirituality, but above related to them asking us as to who were on this trip were the new Q'eros Q'eros or fees.
more intense work we do with Raqchi Q'eros was 120 km from Cusco, in the huge temple to the god Viracocha, comparable only to the temple of Karnak in Egypt, for its dimensions, columns and even the sacred lake. Raqchi really is one of the most spectacular and magic of Cuzco, yet the least advertised and visited. There Q'eros teachers with Laurie as officiating put on the table arranged on the floor, heart-shaped stones on a blanket on the disk image Paititi. There were offerings to the four directions, is called upon protective spirits of the mountains and the four elements, and we purified its ritual. A detail was beautiful gesture on the part of Laurie and her group have sent make six-pointed stars representing the balance between the material and the spiritual with the symbols of the mission were equally blessed Rama and gave them to be give them to each of the participants of the expedition Paititi 2010. While performing this ceremony held inside a circular building old and homeless, appeared in heaven or halo encircling the sun very beautiful and intense.
At the end of the ceremony and with the presence of a young translator Cusco, the Q'eros asked me to tell his story, since the late colonial and early republic, farmers enslaved them and made them lose memory, stopping to explore mistreating and mocking them compared with the typical Inca ceremonial vessel called "Kero" into thinking they were people without history and that existed only to serve as a glass.
All you remember the "Q'eros" is that the Inca after leaving them there among the mountains of Paucartambo, caring the way to Valley Cosñipata became jaguar (jaguar) and lost in the jungle of Paititi. And they are hoping the Inca regains her memory and return to rule the jungle, freeing them of their commitment to be there as guardians of the road waiting for their return. Once a year
of all peoples of Andean pilgrims come to the snow of Ausangate to celebrate the feast of Qollority (Snow Star), a ceremony held ascending the glacier, and that relates to the crucified Christ, but contains all the symbolism of the ordeal of the Andean world represented in the martyrdom of Inca rulers and the hope of the resurrection of the huacas and its rulers ancestral.
with great solemnity and dressed in a poncho Q'ero began to tell the story aloud to the descendants of the royal Panacas (families of former rulers) trusted me in 1990 in the former palace of Pachacutec in the Plaza de Armas in Cusco (Plaza Huacaypata or place of prayer).
My story said:
"A slight trail of dust rising from a distance was the keeper of the inn warned (resting place on the way). This announcement immediately chasqui arrival (e inca) and proceeded to give notice to relay the need to prepare and warm body to collect the information of co-rreo approaching. The cobbled road that ara-Naba Mountain snaked through the Andean mountains over three thousand meters above sea level.
system messengers, men of small stature but of great physical strength and sturdy legs, kept. Tahuantinsuyo Empire (Empire of the Four Cardinal Points) interconnected, building on the excellent roads traversed ban the coast, the mountains and the edge of the forest.
's trumpet snail collection Chinchaysuyo (Sea of \u200b\u200bColombia), filled the wide ravine with a deep sound that announced immediate relief. Suddenly, the room echoed the past accompanied corrective steps closer to their ultimate goal, with arms bent and folded across the chest, heart racing, breathing hampered by the height and wheezing in the face smothered an-silos to deliver the relay to relay.
who took the post should know the ca-way between broken rocks, which ran up matching and canyons of masonry lost in the heights. In its mission would carry the headdress of feathers as an umbrella to the coachman, a symbol of defying the majority of Jahua ñan (way up), part of the Capac Nan (imperial road system).
Usually the message was transmitted by word of mouth, so when it was close enough so that the other might hear, began the story aloud to have time to finish the time to put the baton in the hands of the relay. But this time the message was terse, the chasqui was limited to hand over the chuspa (multicolor cloth bag) that hung from his shoulder and fell on the uncu (tunic).
was noon and the sun serrano skin punished who went beyond the shadow. Black flames and hammer-ing the premises swirled around the little roofed area, trampling the accumulated manure.
The guard had left the building up of a single piece of 100 or 30 feet, locked behind thick walls of adobe and stone, one of which is two doors up-ban. Quick way were two edi-tions constructed under adobe, whose hits were against looking at each other. Each was inhabited up to four people per-manecían chasquis outstanding mail. But he found the place half empty, the result of epidemics and civil war that plagued the empire. Fortunately, in one of the huts found the chasqui hatun Churo Mullo, group leader, a man of few wrinkled and some fifty years he was waiting alert. Mullo Churo the office had developed much of his life, his experience had led him to even reach the level-zar mallku (Condor or authority connected with the Apus of the mountains), regarded even by upper the huaman (falcon). Preparing

was right. The Inca Atahualpa, dor victor in battle of his brother Huascar, was in possession of this but in turn had been taken prisoner by white men from Barbados that could be said viracochas, sent the Lord, the God who is still above the Father Sun
Churo Mullo went on the road and an-sied await the arrival of the request. I take it in your hands and grasping accelerated strongly over leaving to that other man, pale, ashen, which fell heavily on his knees, covering her face with her hands and bursting into sobs uncontrollably like a child.
while achieving the first five hundred meters from his tour, the chasqui perceived by touch the contents of the bag: a small quipu and a piece of crimson fringe bloody imperial insignia. The tears began to asso-Mar through the eyes of one Andean. Climbed-lime ones are carved into the rock, put it straight into a small bridge made of large stone slabs that rose hundreds of feet. His feet, shod in sandals of leather and bondage flame black wool light crept through the cobbled path towards the Qosqo, the capital of the kingdom in turmoil.
On both sides of the narrow valley rose, solid and rocky, rugged mountains of geography. The coachman crossed over a river on a bridge made of woven wicker, on which had been colo-ed wood tables or a way to floor. As the long distance, the bridge is strongly bent and shaking, but was safe by having baran-Dilla of rope and be subject to stone towers on each end.
Passing through the growing areas, the road is closed with side walls, as a precauto-ria for any damage that may cause troops during the campaigns. Some mitmaj (mitimae or settlers uprooted from their original village and inserted elsewhere either as punishment or for his loyalty, being located in sensitive areas) were working when they saw the chakra quickly in the mail. They stopped to observe seat with their chaqui fuer-za-taclla (plows standing). In their faces, they looked acullicu extrusion (ball of coca leaves), it drew a sneer that accompanied the sound of a dry-cupitajo is thrown violently on the ground by one of the youngest. Mullo Churo
Al chasqui relay was followed, which together, could cover in just five days of the great distance que separa Cajamarca del Qosqo, calculada en unas doscientas leguas (una legua corresponde a 5 552 metros).
El último chasqui fue el portador de la terrible noticia: el capac ucha (gran delito) se había consumado con el asesinato del Sapan Inca Huáscar. También se daba a conocer el número de zungazapas (hombres barbados) que venían, a pie o montados en "llamas gigantes", así como los pueblos aliados que los acompañaban.
Huayna Capac, padre de Huáscar y de Ata­hualpa ascendió al trono en el año de 1481, a los 30 años de edad.
El soberano bebía mucho, sin llegar a embo­rracharse. Era afable y muy querido por sus vasallos; se le admiraba por su valentía and prudence, and he feared for being a ruthless conqueror. Had more than one hundred fifty boys and women. The daughter of Mr. Main begat Quito Atahualpa, was born in Qosqo Huascar, the product of the union with Rahua coya Ocllo, sister and second wife legitimate, because the older coya had not been able to bear offspring . When Huayna Capac
marched to Quito, where he remained for 10 years, Huascar stay in office in Cusco. Constantly met with the four suyuyuj apu, who were heads of each his (or cardinal point region). Huayna Capac
ruled for more than three decades pursuing its policy territorial extension and strengthening of governmental organization started by his father Inca Tupac Yupanqui, great achievement-dor and statesman. Tupac Yupanqui
wanted to carry out an am-tious expansion of the empire both to the Contisuyo (the west or the ocean) and to the Antisuyo (east or jungle), as the chronicler Pedro Sarmiento de Gamboa, so that the Inca himself led the expedition to the islands of the sea with 400 rafts or boats and 20,000 fighters. This adventure lasted from 9 months to a year. Recall that Heyerdhal Thor (Norwegian) in the early fifties of the twentieth century, mounted the Kontiki expedition, so that in a boat made of reeds (a plant similar to Egyptian papyrus) showed that ocean currents act as highways in the Pacific and South America could easily connect with Easter Island. The arrival of Tupac Yupanqui to Easter Island would have been perpetuated in the memory of the people, having named a canal and a bay as Te-ava-nuo Tupa (which translates as "King's Bay Tupa"). This would explain why some of the hundred Ahus or ceremonial center of the Rapa Nui, have huge bricks and placed close to the Inca style. There is also a record that long after the arrival of the Maori to the island led by their king Hatu Matua, who has come to be called clans "Mook Hanau" or "short-eared men, there is a new wave of people coming to settle in and share the island, and that they will be called" Hanau Eepe "or" long ears ", which reminds us to" apricots Qosqo "who were the Inca nobles were deformed ears and head resemble the gods of heaven. Ears long and apparently underwent enslaved short ears, which were revealed after exterminating the first, destroying even many Ahus and tearing down of the Moai statues. Some of the most modern Moais would be the time of occupation Inca, hence the profile and ears of the statues. This would coincide with the mountainous terrain of the plateau Pantiacolla in the jungles of Manu, which looks like a giant Moai lying. Recall that the citadel of Machu Picchu was as protected not only by the spirits of four mountains or Apus located in the four directions, so was the way in relief of a face looking to the sky located in the mountain of Wayna Picchu.
Before, during or after the war of the clans destroyed the ecosystem of the island, and wiped out the native forests. According to the myths
Easter Island's first inhabitants of the Isle of Matakiterani or Notehenua Tepito, and with which the explorers found Originally posted by King Hatu Matua were called "lizard men", which would coincide with the information provided by guides aliens called "Fallen Angels" from Orion. Reptilian looking beings, which in this case would have been exiled or deported to Earth, and especially the most isolated island. Its location seems to be reaffirmed in the New Kingdom Egyptian papyrus called "Cast Away", an Egyptian story that locates the survivors of a group of lizard men stranded on an island.
The other military expedition of the Antisuyo, was directed toward the conquest of the forest area of \u200b\u200bMadre de Dios, where sent 40 000 warriors. But the strong resistance of the aboriginal tribes, coupled with the difficult geography of tur-bios rivers and streams, dense forests and impenetrable, parasites and all sorts of vermin, as well as excessively hot and humid weather forced the Incas decimated armies pact with the Great Granny, lord and chief of the tribes of the region Paititi. Testimony of the agreement was the construction of the city called Paiquinquin (translates as "it is" or "the encounter with the true self"), ge-mela city to Qosqo Pantiacolla the plateau, as the last post of penetration in the jungle, connected with Paucartambo seven inns and pucaras (forts) along the roads. While it was consid-ered Qosqo the "navel" of the Andean world, or Paititi Qosqo Paiquinquin would be the "heart" (soul).
the bottom of the lagoon city built on a square to ensure water resources. This place is considered a shrine by the locals, was next to a waterfall and a mountain with a human face crossed by deep caverns. Legend has it that the interior of the caves looked out tall men dressed in white or beige suits. Thus, the advanced Inca not only had to seek permission of the Indians of the area, but also of the inhabitants of the underground or "guardians first." It was said that these, Paco Pacuris (guardians) were survivors of a civilization-tion that spread throughout the Amazon region and posed a intraterrestrial humanity. Huayna Capac
faced like her father insurrections many different peoples. To maintain territorial integrity punishments, such as that suffered by the natural point of Santa Elena and Tumbes, whom they call the "toothless": men, many of women and children were subjected to the extraction of teeth the upper jaw. Or the case of indigenous Carangue: defeated in battle lord-denominated slay fifteen thousand of them as edi-tion and example to intimidate and prevent future uprisings.
uprisings in the north of the empire were used by Huayna Capac to consolidate territories as the Gulf of Guayaquil and the Chachapoyas region, and to bring the border to the river Ancasmayo (in the territory of present-day Colombia). Huayna Capac was in Quito when informed of an invasion by the antis in the south east (wild Chirihuanas family of the Guarani). As in the past, they besieged the southern border of the empire, but were soon re-pelidos by imperial troops under the command of apusquipays YASC.
Paradoxically, the end of Huayna Capac LLE-gari with the arrival of the Viracocha to the north coast, and that since then the epidemic of smallpox spread throughout the kingdom, introduced by the black-nails is accompanying them. Inca himself ill soon the terrible evil that the whole body covered with sores. When he was bedridden, had a vision, at the foot of his bed, three midgets and gray humanoid beings who wanted to talk.
then I consult the Pachacamac oracle about his illness and the meaning of that ex-tran appearance. The priest and seer of the most im-portant temple coast revealed that he would not die of that evil. But it was not.
the death of Huayna Capac, in Quito, and several brothers Atahualpa and Huascar with the same disease, including possible Tomebamba originally designated heir, Ninan Cuyuch, the field remains open to be crowned Huascar, who had supported by the nobility of Qosqo (dried apricots). Then, four elders in charge of recording everything that happened during his reign his successor said: "Oh, Sapan Inca, big and powerful, the sun, moon, earth, mountains and trees, stones and your parents to beware of in-Fortunio and make it prosperous, happy and bienaven-tured on all those born, know ye that the things that happened to your predecessor are these (...) "and then, looking at the ground and down the ma-us with great humility, I realized all they knew .
Huayna Capac's remains were taken to Qosqo from Quito and deposited in his palace under the care of Capac used chunca camayoc (servant of the royal mummies).
Hualpa Huascar Inti Cusi received the imperial fringe at the age of 34 years.
As heir to the Inca, Huascar would carry a mascaypacha (corona) similar to that, with the difference that this logo was smaller and yellow.'s successor and wore the unco llacolla (layer two) over the left shoulder, discov-ered leaving the right arm. The unco applications used to be studded with gold, stones, shells and feathers. These items had all the Inca, but the fabric quality and the decor was different.
The trousseau was prepared in the ajllahuasi (Temple of the Moon), vicuna wool is reserved for the nobility, including a chuspa hanging from the shoulder. The llaut (touched) was always polychrome and terminating in the mascaypacha. This was placed on the head that looked short hair whose length did not exceed two fingers (the privilege of the nobles). From llaut also hung pictures and flowers made of feathers also used metallic ornaments cos in the head and chest a Canipe (gold and silver medallions). In the flag or the ear lobe piercing was higher than in the rest of the high, the tendrils were so large and sumptuous extremely distorted and stretched ears. Also used in the Ursut ornaments (sandals) and wrist hung a Chipana (gold bracelet).
The suntur Paucar (the rod) was of wood covered with feathers and a half long but a little less than a pike. The new chief, endowed with the charisma of leadership, was recognized as a distant descendant of the progenitor-tor who is in his grave well preserved, and this in turn descended from the founder of the ayllu and, therefore, its spirit soberano. La secuencia era: jefe vivo, jefe momificado, fundador humano y espíritu fun­dador. Para todos los pueblos andinos, el espíritu fundador por excelencia era el wari. Según la creen­cia, el wari había creado todos los grupos humanos organizados en comunidades y aldeas.
Desde su coronación, Huáscar mostró cual seria el perfil de su reinado. Contra la costumbre, no per­mitió que el willaj-umu (Sumo sacerdote), tío suyo, sacrificase a un pequeño niño como ofrenda a los dioses. Sorprendido, el sumo sacerdote prosiguió la ceremonia pronun­ciando la oración ante la imagen del dios Wiracocha en el Coricancha, que era el templo mayor de the in-ing in Cusco. As a god Viracocha after transcendent, not locatable in space, ambiguous (neither male nor female), higher than the sun itself which had created, was represented as a human being-hand with a beard and wearing a robe, in Raqchi his own temple.
The sentence read: "Lord, that we offer (a sacrifice called), because we have quietly and help us in our wars and to preserve our Lord the Inca at its grandeur and state, and to be ever increasing and give him much to know so that rule us. "
Some believe that the cause of the failure of Huascar was their serious and innovative. Always occupied in affairs of state, avoided social activities like eating out in the public square, customs among the Incas, what remained popular within the stratum of the nobility. They said that Huascar would be punished by the gods for bringing so many changes in the city seeking to correct what he considered lax attitudes and decay.
Among other things, ordered to bury the dead walked among the living before, and took away everything they had, it was the best of the kingdom, contrary to religious custom immemorial that the dead-ments should be served as if they were alive by providing them with vessels of gold and silver. Moreover, most service people, treasures, food, gas, cough and services were held by the living dead and the attending, as these servants "live" and interpreting what they said was the will of the dead. When they were like eating or drinking, saying it was desire of the mummies, if you wanted to go to idle home from others, said it was customary to leave the dead to visit each other and rejoiced with great dancing and drinking. Some times were also home to other living and they to theirs. Huáscar
also try to end the Realty-ralidades that encouraged some bad priests and many noble, it also earned him enemies and more of a palace intrigue.
Atahualpa sent his greetings to the newly crowned Sapan Inca Huascar, along with many and rich presents to the sovereign's mother, Mama Ragua Ocllo, and his wife, Chuqui coya Huypa.
Atahualpa was a young man about 31 years, with a shapely body, rather thick and tough, big and beautiful face and fierce. His eyes were red and burning. He spoke gravely and rest, was lucid and sensible, cheerful, intelligent and communicative. With the gifts was a request that his brother was granted the Quito government. Gave
Huáscar with some suspicion, recommendations dole to be careful, for which he later sent precise instructions. Atahualpa obviously delighted by the positive response, but from the first moment of gossip and intrigue among his relatives and some rivals, such as Ullco Colla, lord of the Canaris, along with the governor of Take-bamba, about a possible conspiracy, produced distrust in the person of Huascar and intense animosity her brother, whose envoys were received in a cavalier fashion.
Soon Huáscar execute command al-conspirators considered UNPACKING characters in-between those who were an uncle and a brother.
Meanwhile, in the north revolted Huancavilca, but were quickly suppressed and almost ex-terminated by Atahualpa. Then he would say that the people had rebelled rather to "work Atahualpa, who wanted to attract to their cause. Gradually
heard rumors, more and more in-tense, the bellicosity of Atahualpa, whose am-bition apparently increased. Spread the story that had seized the rich litter that his father Huayna Capac left in Tomebamba as well as the finest and most delicate clothes that were stored in warehouses, claiming to have been appointed by his father before he died Huayna Capac , as lord of that part of the empire, which consistently achieve bias in his favor, either making use of persuasion or by force.
After consulting with his advisers and te-mere a large uprising and dire consequences that would plunge the empire into a civil war, Huascar request the presence of his brother, but he refused on several occasions adu transcends that could something negative happen by the quantity of enemies he had.
Atahualpa The repeated refusal of non-com-appear before his brother was the straw that broke the patience of the Inca, who saw all this green-dera an affront to their authority. It was then dis-placed the immediate organization of a punitive expedition. Atahualpa
enjoyed great prestige among the bulk of the army and oficialidad, que se hallaba acantonado en el norte, por lo que inmediatamente recibió apoyo multitudinario, aclamándosele por sus dotes de caudillo.
Huáscar, por su parte, dio órdenes para que un poderoso ejército sometiera al supuesto rebelde, en­comendando la jefatura al general Atoc, al que se unieron las fuerzas de Ullco Colla con sus cañaris y tomebambas.
Atahualpa, sabiendo de la amenaza que se cernía sobre él, llamo a sus generales Calcuchimac y Quisquis, pero primero mando mensajeros al encuentro de Atoc para interrogarlo sobre sus intenciones. Al confirmarle que iba a apresarlo, se iniciaron las cruentas luchas que inmediatamente produjeron una inesperada derrota en el bando quiteño cerca Tomebamba, falling prisoner Atahualpa himself, who was taken to prison.
One night, when all was uproar by the rapid and unexpected victory and the men of war was held, there was the brother of the Inca leakage through one of his wives will fa-cilitates a copper bull that achievement open a hole in the wall. This woman had used bribery and some potions with which the guards fell asleep. Atahualpa affirm after "Through the magic of his Father Sun had with a snake-dumping and escaping from confinement."
again in Quito gathering his people together in a new battle-fronts in the town of Riobamba, where there were many casualties on both sides. This time the winner was Atahualpa. Volume Atoc general prisoner, who ordered torture, and was its decision to go through with arrows, the body of the head of the Canaris.
The war was bloody, with wins and losses by both sides. At a time when forces seemed imposed Huascar and out in pursuit of the decimated troops re-Belda, the Inca, who was in charge of a part of his army, fell into a trap. Quisquis, this veteran general who served Atahualpa, in a suicidal act was launched with some of his men against the king berth, making fall from the litter and taking him hostage. Once in prison, Huascar was savagely tortured piercing their shoulders to make a rope which you drag. Once
name was Inca, Atahualpa ordered terrible reprisals against the family of Huascar, which was almost entirely wiped out, kill it before it to further increase their suffering. In Qosqo spread the kill-za starting with the nobles loyal to the king won. Another of his brothers had fled or hid may be granted, and only a few have been forgiven for being very young and found the care of the remains of Huayna Capac and his Waukeen (double gold and stone sculpture, who kept the mummified heart of the sovereign).
On that occasion also been persecuted and killed the quipucamayoc (teachers quipus, mnemonic system of recording information and accounting). It set fire to the quipus, in order to eliminate the history files and thus legitimize the usurper Atahualpa. During the barbarism were destroyed equally wooden tables contained in a symbolic way the origins and history of the Incas, as well as Wari ancestors, whose clothing had ordered the Inca Pachacutec, and with it also disappeared the interpretation keys of tocapus (symbols). Even
taken prisoner by the European troops, Atahualpa could consummate his revenge. One night in Cajamarca, where Atahualpa was very happy in the company of some soldiers, look to the sky and saw a comet on fire Qosqo; is-lifting and raising his glass to celebrate said: "Soon shall die in the land a great lord. " Such words were merely the anticipation of their desires. Should quickly get rid of Kuas-car, fearing that could viracocha return back to power. He immediately ordered to murder his rival, and as a symbol of power drank the chicha in his skull, which embed a command (wide-mouth glass kero and narrow body) and a straw between his teeth.
same fate later suffered two brothers Atahualpa as Huaman Mayta Tito Yupanqui. Finding these in Cajamarca, Pizarro asked permission to go to Qosqo, but in the way they were killed by order of Atahualpa.
During his captivity, Atahualpa had the oppor-tunity to closely know the English and their very distinct weaknesses, among which excessive ambition. Therefore, in a relatively short time offered to pay for their freedom with three rooms full of gold and silver to the level he reached his hand standing on the points-plants of the feet. The Europeans agreed that exchange and gave his word to release once the offer cum-plier.
Treasures actually began to arrive in Cajamarca. On July 18, 1533 the division took place between 67 cavalry and 110 infantry who accompanied Pizarro, rose-do the amount to 1'326, 539 castellanos of gold and about 57,000 marks of silver. (A Castilian of gold were 0.46 g and 230 g frame, so you can pre-Cisar that the bailout amounted to about 610. 20 kg of gold, more than half a ton of gold and 13 tons 110 kilos silver!)
However, payments are insufficient escaped death Atahualpa, as the conquerors had no time seriously considered keeping his promise, with the possibility of the Inca, once free, and knowing the nature of their captors, runs the same attack against them. Inca
When he realized he was lost and that foreigners were liars and very cunning, he recalled that a famous magician named Challco had prophesied the downfall of the empire, saying: "very soon you have to look down from your throne and pan-Jado of your kingdom and not subject Huáscar [...] but to some foreigners who are sailing the seas against the fury of the winds, frustrating its storms. They have taken the safe harbor in this region are people [...] serious, ambitious, bold and tireless in their enterprises [...] You'll be a prisoner, take your life and have her home and will expire your illustrious ancestry. "
also came to his mind what his father Huayna Capac had said at the time of his death: in full party Inti Raymi in Qosqo was coming through the air a condor pursued by five or six and as many kestrel falcons, which shifts as the condor attacking, blocking and trying to kill fly with their beaks. The Condor, from being unable to defend , fell in the middle of the square, among the priests, who saw the touch-tobacco is sick, covered with dandruff, scabies and with almost no feathers, a fact which was considered a bad omen.
was also the account of an oracle consulted Huayna Capac to the throne, where he will soothsayers-Ticino real bloodshed, war and, fi-nally, the destruction of the empire. The Inca, indignant at such a prophecy, fired in a bad way to the prophets, but was left with the uncertainty and anxiety control dam gather all the conjurers, in-clus one very notable yauyu nation, all of which confirmed the prediction. The Inca, disimu-lando fear, the valediction. They were later ordered a lot of sacrifices and consultation to all oracles, but the answers were confusing. Atahualpa
recalled when, sarl expressed his last wishes, his father had said: "Many years there by the revelation of our Father Sun, we have past twelve Incas from the founder, his sons would come new people and not known in these parts to win and subject to all the Empire, our king at the time and many others. I suspect that we know will have an "given by our sea coast; be brave and unscrupulous people who will benefit us all . also know that it meets my reign and my fa-milia that prophecy, for what I feel and I certify that a few years after I'm gone from you, that will meet new people and what our father told us Sun, and won the important periods and be masters of it to the disgrace of all. "Atahualpa
garrote was submitted to the August 29, 1533, after he commuted the death by fire for accepting the Christian faith and be baptized with the name John. He is accused of having orderly-swimming death of his brother Huascar and conspired against the English, planning a treacherous attack. During his funeral, men and women took their own lives to join him on his journey.
In September, Pizarro went to the capital of Tahuantinsuyo part of their hues-ing, but on the way suffered intense harassment ment troops dismantled by Atahualpa's generals, who still could not believe what happened to their leader and master.
seeking the support of indigenous anti-government and taking advantage of the intrigues and internal tensions evident Inca and the chaos, the conquerors were named Ca-Cajamarca to Hualpa as Topa Inca, but died in Jauja poisoned by General Calcuchimac One of those loyal to Atahualpa, who later would be burned alive by order of Pizarro, as he did with many of the commanders and chiefs of the peoples they encountered on the road after they landed.
From Cajamarca to Qosqo were thirty-two main villages. After two months the invading armies, multiplied by the tens of thousands of Indians opposed to Tahuantinsuyo Qosqo took possession of the center of the Inca Empire, without any resistance they found that prevented the deaths and the looting and destruction of temples and palaces. These had already been partially breached by the victors of the battle of Quito Quipaypan, which left more than 180, 000 dead.
Qosqo-Llaqta that housed the conquerors found around some two hundred thousand people TAS, was divided into two parts: Qosqo or Qosqo Hanan and Hurin High Qosqo Qosqo or Low. The dividing line was the way of Antisuyo, heading east. It was a city mosa big brother, full of monumental structures like temples and palaces, many of which per-manecían uninhabited most of the time because occasional residences of chiefs and nobles who only went to town when approaching a conclusion.
The first quarter was called Colcampata. There he built the palace of the founder Manco Capac. Most of the houses were of stone, finely worked, and other stone had only half of the facade. They also had multi-ple adobe houses laid out with very good order, the streets, cross, very straight, all cobbled and narrow, had sources water and sewerage. Had a central square, flat and em-stone, and arranged around her stood four palaces of the lords, among which was that of Huayna Capac, colorful, whose door was a stone and white marble incarnate.
The city had a puma with a falcon head, which was ruffled feathers at the for-temple-fortresses of Sacsayhuaman, located on top of a round hill and rough, from which dominated the valley. The silhouette was certain nothing Tullumayo and Huatanay rivers, which rise a mile above the Qosqo and then descend to reach the city and two leagues below. All the way was paved for the water to run clean and clear and to prevent overflows while the rivers were swollen. Bridges two gave very solid entry into the city, which had already several thousand years have been built before the arrival-off and settlement of the Incas. At that time his name was Acomama.
The temple fortress guarding the city had a lot of quarters and a pal main tower in the center, made as a cube, with four or five overlapping bodies. The rooms and are-ing of the tower were small, built of large stones, elaborately carved, as well adjusted to each other that seemed to do not wear any mixture-var, and so smooth that simulated planed boards. The monument was to such an extent that could hardly be run entirely on a single day. Was arranged around three towers: Muyoc-brand-brand Sallac Paucar-mark. The whole fort was a large deposit of various weapons (po-lands, axes, arrows and ceremonial dress).
Sacsayhuaman was surrounded by large mu-stripes. There was one part of the hill looking to the city, on a steep slope; other three were built at different levels in the back. The last was the highest. These construc-tions extended along 300-meter-Taban is composed of huge blocks of granite up to 360 tons, some of which reached heights of 9 m, 5 m wide and 4 m thick. These extraordinary proportions per-mitigation that again and serve as a parapet wall to large terraces of land, as if they were giant steps. The embankments were connected through three gates: Tiopunco, Viracochapunco and Acahuanapunco (punco means "door").
Coricancha In the Temple of the European soldiers was dazzled by the magnificence, splendor and pageantry of the sanctuary. The conquerors found a regal building fac-ture, with cyclopean stone walls, delicately worked on inclines, trapezoidal doors. The temple consisted of eight large chambers whose walls were square on the inside and out huge sheets and sheets of pure gold, with in-crustaciones emeralds and other precious stones. Inside, the seats also wore gold ornaments. In the back of the temple was the garden of the Sun, a place of incredible beauty, deco-pared with the Inca gold, disciple and heir of the master achievements of the northern Chimu culture, which I think realistically this strange and amazing place which is reproduced in full-scale trees and various plants, their flowers and fruits insects and all kinds of animals. In an artificial lake floating gold fish and around the sculpture garden-structures were erected, also of size, servers, mu-men and men, carrying pots and offerings of this fine metal. This, together with the large disk of the sun that covered the walls inside the shrine, was removed to be melted and divided among the soldiers. The spoils of plunder Qosqo reported to deduce the king was 580, 000 pe-sos and 215 gold, 000 silver marks.
Another brother of Huascar survivor of the bloody persecution was shock Auqui, ber young men of medium height and good-looking, intuitive and intelligent. Lived in the Amarucancha and was to serve the remains of his father Huayna Capac and of fate. Auqui shock was attached to the prophecies of the hill Guanacuari where caba practiced divination using mainly ho-jas coca or through playful exercises and games of chance such as Piske. In this way, the classification of the numbers in favorable and adverse determined the fate of the person concerned. In a consultation Emergency Auqui five repeated repeatedly. The symbol that was the hand belonged, that is a trial and penance, a time of darkness. Therefore, convened in secret to all of yachayhuasi amautas, the more quipucamayocs wise and im-portant that survived the hunting and intellectuals who remained hidden in the city, and the priests of spirituality that had been known to trick the army of Atahualpa and hide the Waukeen.
Once collected, Shock poses the possibility of a collective escape route to safety. For this would be assisted by the inhabitants of Atuncancha, where he lived-in houses a hundred priests and mamacunas near the Temple of the Sun From there the escapees in-essentially focusing on the Coricancha overnight to enter the Great Chingana, labyrinthine underground tunnel va por debajo de la ciudad hacia la fortaleza de Sacsayhuaman; luego seguirían por otro túnel cer­cano en dirección a Paucartambo.
Estos túneles habían sido construidos por los antiguos wari, edificadores de la primera ciudad del Qosqo, quienes seguían al dios de Tiahuanaco, Viracocha, y a su enviado Tonopa o Tunu-Apaj, el predi­cador mendigo y ermitaño que habitaba en la Pacarina (gran lago). El mito dice que la humanidad fue castigada con un diluvio por despreciar las enseñanzas del peregrino, salvándose un solo hombre bueno. El arcoiris que se formo después del diluvio era una víbora de muchos colores que se trasladaba al cielo, pero era de tal vo­racidad que tragaba As found. When he was dead they opened the bowels and out came the men, animals and so many things I had eaten.
The story is well acquainted with the prince and the related shock wave of disasters that had azo-graph the Inca people, epidemic, civil war and invasion of the fierce and ambitious zungazapa wearing rigid plates and gleaming like silver where the arrows bounced off the rocks. This could mean that a great punishment had fallen on Earth, forcing them to do penance: to emigrate and to save what could be saved. Then began pacaricuc (fasting general).
The target date to leave would be in the middle of Uma Raymi (Easter water, the month of October). You select a certain number ajllas swimming young (women chosen to serve the church or marriage with the nobility) and strong, to accompany the group that would rescue the di-LUID spiritual empire in the superficiality and banality of the court .
The night before the flight, which would be early hours-charged, the prince was dedicated to making ablutions and purification baths in the palace of the panaca (clan) of Huayna Capac, called Tomebamba Ayllu. At that moment the old Willka-Umu, who replaced the high priest killed shortly before. The noble patriarch walked to be close to where lay the pond where the boy was sitting completely naked, while bending the urpus server (oval pitchers) of water on his back. The spacious room, with colorful tapestries covered the walls and floor from one end to another, was illuminated and heated by a powerful light. When shock was the old man, this went on with respect and admiration, saying
"Dear Prince, you are so young and inexperienced and small and unlikely forces are our hope, but I take comfort in knowing that small increases and experience value increases with in-ucation errors. You take a large group of young Mystics like you and a small circle of wise elders. But all the best and all you-Nemos. I think not rebuild what was lost, but rather think rescuing spirituality that characterized the beginnings of the Inca, and also know you do not see again, nor those who accompany you [...] Therefore I wish you well. About
know you agree that you deserve the label of huachacuyoc (charitable), as a child always loved the underdog and art benefactor of the poor. Now you've chosen a very bold mission and, if blessed from on high, fill your life for your offspring to perpetuate bliss is ours.
If you manage your tasks and you settle in peace and security, the facts of your life will be known in the future and will result in songs and legends, but the important thing is to awaken and enlighten the dor-midas consciences of those who were allowed to wrap in the darkness that now befalls us all [... ] No doubt that if it was written in your destiny and ours what is going on, we got to where you need [...] and you are allowed to thy seed may again lead this world! [... ] "
conclude the priest with a trembling voice and eyes filled with tears, staring at the ñaupapacha (ancient times). Prince abandonment
the marked ability (House of clothing and treasures of the Inca deceased) wearing simple clothes. Around his neck hung a medallion bearing the disk of the Sun Hung in a thick chain, all of pure gold, and in the right arm he wore a bracelet that had the face of the cat and representatives sat constellation Chinchay Shock, which display ce mark the north and the direction or course, besides being magical symbol for protection against witches and wizards in the land of the antis. Both logos-bian has belonged to his father and now accompany him. He left the gallant young
of the rooms in the company of tucuyricuc (eyes and ears of the Inca, inspector or mole inside the town). Runners and crossed sa-lion, carved with great artifice, and adorned with stone shelves way trapezoidal windows give them full of gold and silver objects as llamas or humans, such as figurines of fer-tility and abundance , which glowed with the light coming through skylights very well prepared in every room.
came to the second courtyard where the armory found "real work by duty officers who, helped by the stewards, met all the weapons and supplies possible. Had orders to take them to the Coricancha, where lay the mummified remains Huayna Capac and where also was his Waukeen.
Being in the first courtyard, shock last looked it had been his second home and bent down to touch their hands cobbled where he played as a child. Once he reached the door, the prince proceeded to quietly leave the older servers, thanking them for their years of dedication and care leaving the palace. They did not know where sea-chaba, but confident in their decisions which they considered wise and for the benefit of all. Shock
quietly walked away from the Amaru-cancha and Huacaypata Plaza (now Plaza de Armas) along with an entourage of about 20 people. Walked through the Inti-Kicllu [alley Loreto], having at all times to the left Ajllahuasi da. Despite the lateness of the night, had bonfires and even we heard the plaintive cries that tore the stillness of the privileged place nestled in the Andes. There was no family in the Qosqo that had not lost in a short time more than one family in the wars or pests and unfor-stances that had befallen the Incas. Reaching
Coricancha doors, were received with great respect for permanent guards guarding the entrance to the great shrine. Swiftly crossed the large stone patio that separating the chapels dedicated to the sun, the moon, the star Chaska, the constellation Chinchay Shock and many others. At this point in the sky I hear a loud series of thunder and lightning without rain cracked multiple space.
The priests waited with great nerve-earthquake, among them the high priest appeared Willka - Umu, who approached Shock. After making a respectful bow, placed his hands on the shoulders of that, looking into her eyes and saying,
"Two large snakes are responsible for the Kay-car communication with Janan Pacha Pacha, leaving to go to Pacha Ukju this terrestrial world. Are energy flowing through the outer universe and in-deterioration of every human being and of all things. A crawling on the outside has the shape of the great river Amaru Mayu and know under the name Mama Yaku, the other is walking upright, equipped with two heads, a lower absorbing surface bugs, other than that feeds volatile insects. Barely moves and looks like a dead tree, is Sacha Mama. These large snakes go after the world above, where Mama Yaku becomes illapa (lightning) and Sa-cha Mama koychi (the rainbow). The Inca had to maintain the connection between worlds, as Intipchurin (son of the Sun), but this relationship It has long been disrupted by materialistic greed, ignorance and absence of spirituality, so that chaos is looming so-about the world [...] [...] Our days are numbered as must travel before, dear prince, a warrior of light against darkness, the place where you can re-link the three worlds, because the connection we have lost all humanity. I shall follow the path of the Pakarina. And arriving at your destination you and your descendants must wait patiently for the `Time of Change ', a' New Love-Necer of Humanity" [... ] The earth beneath our feet and leave behind you will remain for centuries subject to a painful purification, a pachacuti, so that in the future may hold the seed of a new humanity based on love, knowledge and faith.
"I put it in your hands sara mama (mother of corn, giant ear) that was placed in the barn of the Sanctuary. Now-tigo anger, and when the time is fulfilled, and your descendants will return to the world as we leave, will bring this seed along with prosperity and abundance. Coca mama stay multiplying the miseries of the men who run out and destroy the Sacha Pacha Mama and Mama.
"We also place it on your head-pacha mascay with the insignia of the heir. When you get to Payquinquin Qosqo'll Inca! [...]"
By lifting his face after receiving the royal insignia-nia, Shock spoke forcefully in front of his people: "I'll talk as I have focused so far, powerful, noble sir. I bow to thee with reverence profoundly. For you nothing is hidden, you know how it is that everything is prepared so that each fulfills its destiny. I shudder to see me here as well to see all that represented loans and the responsibility it assigns to us. I believe we will not fail expectations. "
Prince and lovingly hug the old man and immediately looked for the mallquis (mummies). There were all, except the Inca Tupac Yupanqui, burned and destroyed in retaliation for filing the territories of the ma-ternal grandparents of Atahualpa. Tended the same shock of his father Huayna Capac. The mallquis had been con-vocados in secret by the priest in charge, Mallquip - Uillac, without giving further explanation to mallquicamayocs. Is to safeguard provisions instead leaving the other less important personalities tend vis-imperial clothing.
not much time left. Preparations are rushed to the entrance of the Chingana. The entourage is full-tobacco. The ajllas, conducted from the chapel Keel (Luna), wearing their ACSU (large white woolen cloak) that-you pin on silver, covered their shoulders to the empei-ne. The maids also took over the lliclla (blanket used as a skirt) and his waist were tied a large band and then another an-Gosta with giving several turns of the body. Cu-Brian is also the head with a ñañaza (blanket), which fell on a headband (long tape to hold the hair).
were also selected some elders, quipucamayocs, priests and a few dried apricots. They received this name to bring some earrings in their ears as round as a handle, and so large and heavy that they are are deformed. Thus, the same used on a shorn head and long braids sobrepeine, tied with ropes as thick as a little finger, which gave them two or three laps on it.)
The priests took in their hands torches and marked the path of Chingana, down stone steps into a tunnel, which is currently behind the high altar of the Church of Santo Domingo. Followed by a long, wide corridor leading to the right side of a deep cavern walls rec-TAS showed a huge quarry work.
After ten minutes they arrived at huge chambers. Then the torches were extinguished during the artificially piped water, which ran parallel to the path carved into the rock. Immediately you hear a bustle in-peace, which ceased when there was a luminous-green and fluorescent nosidad issued by a mysterious material that covered all the walls. Had entered the secret depths Pacha Mama (Mother Earth). Sculptured
some rocks appear figures of serpents and jaguars as well as various quillcas (stones filled symbols) lovingly worked to serve the dwelling positive and protective entities trapped by their strength indestructible. And is that the stone has a mythical meaning in the Andes. Rumi provisional ne ruru the same root, meaning "seed." The stone was a kind of seed things Hard-able, eternal.
After a long, slow journey dodging countless traps and abysses, false floors, en-hobs, cords, loose stones, the road began to climb, narrowing to make room for a single row. The high turnout and solid climbs stairs, a small waterfall while violence fell directly on the left, gasping and choking the pa-ment of those who carried the bier of mallquis and wauques. Having gone through the city full-bility for the underground road, very well disguised pro-tected and the output stood at the side of the fortress of Sacsayhuaman. There awaited them a group of fifty aucapomas (warriors) in command of a aucacamayoc (senior captain), who had replaced the guard who controlled this place that night, however, its military presence surprised the suspicious and fearful amauta cot (wise teachers).
were missing a few hours before dawn, so you should hurry to cover the distance between the road to the Urubamba River valley and the next tunnel. Kilometers below the expected hundreds of llamas loaded with provisions and others to lighten the load. It was also envisaged that the reach Paucartambo other groups, including people of Calca, led by Rune llantacamayoc Cayaticoc (village official manager fees).
From Paucartambo left the caravan. It took many days to reach the slopes of Nevado del Huamancaca. Crash Here Auqui decided to leave some of the people guarding the mountain pass leading to Cosñipata Valley, where it descends into the jungle. Both warriors and priest-skills and women remain ayllu as caring for and protecting the path to Paititi. It originated
Community Q'eros sanctuary or, as it is currently known name in Quechua and machiguenga (language of a jungle tribe Cosñipata Valley) means "shelter, re-shot, sanctuary." Become the eyes and Paititi ears of the Community of Sanctuary whose members climbed down and allowed the Inca Qosqo Qosqo know from the world situation. Since then, this ayllu has retained the knowledge of reading the symbols on their pallay (woven on black and white), perhaps waiting for the "time of return and the end of pachacuti or purification of 500 years."
Once they crossed the open on rocks cu-ered to Ritti, thanked the apacheta with these favors received. In its descent into the jungle, some went to the town of Lacco taking some of the berths nas carried the mallquis and Waukeen. In a sought leave pucullo herrings while the rest moved down the valley towards the Amarumayo Cosñipata guided by shock, the Apo Capac Amaru. Shock
walked in front of everyone without any privilege to, as aissavillca it was, giving encouragement to those left behind and offering her shoulder to those who felt faint when the fatigue intensified. Pa-ra he had not antagonistic huamra simply were sons and brothers of a large family that was to survive, they said more than once when people wavered. It was admirable suit when crossing the Oroyas on rivers, was the first to volunteer to carry one end of the palanquin carrying the mallquis, or that first threw mere when rapid dragging someone. Did not lose his mind and his jokes to the crowd burst into laughter, briefly forgetting the tragedy that struck the empire and the suffering experienced by their families, as well as the grueling and difficult journey. This, far from per-der to make people respect him the admiration and love of everyone, including dried apricots reason to forget the protocols. Previously, an Inca did not allow you looked into his eyes, but all sought reflected shock in his eyes to gain strength and courage, and find comfort in his smile, which often sought to hide stoically exhaustion.
At night, the light of coillorcuna (stars) and at a camp, there were some who fall into the temptation of telling stories as the Nakajo macabre (slaughterer) or the Kefka (flying heads) that were disappearing pilgrims spent the night outside dairy farms. Then the prince Shock, who remained behind mu-chas sometimes listening and trying to pass-sapercibido, intervened with a valuable lesson.
One night looked at the sky and pointed to some ex-tran lights that did not fall as other but rather walking at high altitude, sometimes slowly and others quickly, stopping on the site. Once static, the lights grew in intensity, suddenly went out and returned to light after a moment, then moved changing direction and disappeared into the distance. Then mentioned that he sensed his heart-Tthe Aque lights were the heralds of God who showed them-ban the path to follow and protect the group. There was nothing to fear if we all stuck together and with faith. Shock
Every morning on his way to the priesthood gifts greeting the sun, bare feet on the ground, raising his arms above his head and taking a slow deep breath, then opened them in an arc out through your mouth the words "Punchau China! ". He was a strong, melodious singing and repeated several times followed by all.
resume the tour crossed the Apucantiti, ulti-mo rock mass before descending to the green mantle that extended the infinite and meandering rivers. Later penetrated with the Rupa Rupa, an area of \u200b\u200bthick vegetation and very warm. There they came forward about Sacharuna (male deer). He looked ferocious wore paint on their faces, a silver platter stitched nose and hung seed necklaces their necks, in their hair, which was short, wore a headband of black feathers covering their face. They carried wooden arches and very long chonta arrows tipped cane also sawn chonta and knives.
The group froze thinking that tobacco work of runamicuc (cannibals). But warriors do not show-ban hostile, by contrast, welcomed the group and welcomed them. Were waiting.
The Machiguenga (machu-old Incas or Inca), faithful to the Inca Tupac Yupanqui, remained there since the death of this pro-tegiendo the secret route to the Paititi, and having blended into the natural environment and with, what was difficult to recognize.
Once in the village of machiguengas, Crash and his ended his fast and shared TierOne masato (liquor extracted of fermented cassava or manioc). They ate their fill Antis (jungle corn), cassava, plantains and roasted river fish over coals. After two days of continuous-earned rest were escorted by those road warriors.
After a day and a half suffocated by the sharp hike and intricate jungle, arrived at the foot of a plateau from which a waterfall down. There had to climb a slope to a large stone portal worked Cuzco style. Later peeked through the trees the platforms which multiplied with the leg farm. Between two hills lay an artificial lake built as a water supply. Bor-deándola, went to the entrance of an im-pressive dark, dank cave in the shape of heart, which was evident the hand of man.
The first approach was Auqui Shock. From the doorway he heard a sound as if it were roars of jaguars. Then he remembered that, it was said, shamans used to hide pumas and jaguars. But his confidence in superior protection allowed pupils brándose introduced with a torch. Suddenly para-Cieron men dressed in white, in the style of the Inca priests, with long, flowing hair. It was another procession of reception of the trip-wise the Emergency Decree Auqui. After making reverence to a prince, asked him to continue.
crossed for about thirty minutes to the other side of the mountain and came to a place that seemed to be the deepest point of a crater, provided with a circular plaza, niches and many houses and buildings. Then a crowd received with great enthusiasm to the newcomers. There were prayers for the dead and killed in the recent epidemic, civil war and during the invasion of sungazapa. Then there was silence, and people moved away leaving room for the Waukeen were placed in the niches prepared for it. Then, the priest-order skills demanded by pututos sound. In-Circuit then proceeded to officially welcome the heir to the Quispehuasi (House of salvation.) Some women acer-ed loading containers with water to wash, others offered a cumbi (special clothing for ceremonies), and dressed and groomed for the occasion. Meanwhile, a young and chaupiroco tions (70 years old) singing the harauis (epic poems related to the company Auqui Shock, who mentioned the same spiritual background.)
At one end of the square, a Promonte-river, was placed on the Capac USNO (real seat), some of which began to position themselves Willac (priests) dressed with umupachas (priestly garments). Auqui shock had come for receiving the policy uayoc mascaipacha UNANCHA Capac (royal insignia, imperial tassel flowers and fruits). He walked to the Willac who girded him the crown. Then received the insignia of the chewing. Once appointed Shock Inca Capac, bowed to kiss the earth. When you sit up again, raised his arms toward the sun and gave thanks, committing-dose to recover the lost knowledge and spiritual orientation as it was in the Beginning. Then, a priest discovered the Aquilla (ceremonial vase) to the akja drank (a kind of maize beer with low alcohol later called chicha).
important part of the ceremony was belting the crown to the queen. This would be primarily a blood sister of the newly named Inca. When not possible therefore approached the Intic huarmain camayoc (official women of the sun) that had accompanied the caravan watching the virgins, and invited with great respect and solemnity of the monarch to a choice according to what would be his com- ; basket. Embarrassed by this situation, the first shock I managed to say was that it considered all the young maidens allin supascona sumac (good and beautiful girls). Then he looked at one that stood out among all. Throughout the sucquilla (month) Shock had appreciated in this virgin beauty, simplicity and, above all, intelligence and hu-manity that was the weakest. The volume of the arm and called his name Yahuaira (wind). The joy was sung-lines great and congratulations on the maiden multiplied. Immediately into marriage welcome the royal couple.
In the afternoon, the Inca, accompanied by Mama Ya-Huaira, decided to meet with the Council of Elders An-cyano. The next day, very early, promoted a new meeting, but this time, out of habit, called Camacho (assembly of men and women over age) to guide action which is "highest among all."
Clash With this attitude would inaugurate a new era in the history of the Inca rulers. Yachachic also ordered that the rune (preceptor and teacher) of yachayhuasi (House of Knowledge) and other quipucamayocs amautas and proceed immediately to record the latest developments as required by the Inca custom.
While this was happening on land Paiquinquin Paititi, Manco, another son of Huayna Capac, came to meet Fran-cisco Pizarro on the slope of Limatambo. Manco had also secretly Qosqo game, but shortly before shock. At the site of Pizarro Vilcacunca honored and take this to complain about the injustices and crimes they committed the hosts of Atahualpa's generals. Pizarro received from in-mediate the intrigue within the Inca reigned, and he had a staunch ally in Manco. Why not wait longer to recognize as the new Inca Manco, who was crowned with great pomp in the temple of Coricancha. The first sanction
Manco was issued to the general public Mar Calcuchimac, and in com-pany Pizarro went in search of Quisquis, who previously had retired to Quito. Back to Qosqo
was organized an expedition to Chile, under the command of Diego de Almagro, who was accompanied by the Willac-Umu and Paulo Topa. More Pizarro later marched to Lima, leaving the gov-ernment of the capital to his brother Hernando, and Juan Gon-Zalo. Later Manco
would suffer from the consequences of his wrong. He continually called for large quantities of gold and silver and insulted him and mocked him, their culture and their an-forebears. Disappointed, Manco decided to lead an uprising, with the support of Willac-Umu, who had escaped from Chile. Together they prepare for action in the course of four months, after which would wipe out all zungazapa.
By increasing abuse of Pizarro, Manco decided to anticipate the revolt. He then asked authorizations the English to go to Yucay, using Antonillo, interpret Huancavilca home, promising to bring the Waukeen of Huayna Capac. With it came many nobles, but not everyone agreed with the uprising, there were even those who chose to stay on the side of the conquerors.
Soon Manco declared a war front by maintaining a siege of two months on Qosqo, but were themselves loyal to the English Cuzco who managed to break the site and engaged the attackers making them back. They took refuge in the fortress of Sacsayhuaman, where there was a fierce battle that killed Juan Pizarro and the famous Inca captain Cahuide, who threw from the top of a tower, holding in his arms the heads of two English soldiers Noles. There was great slaughter among the Andean countries that favored Europeans, but in the end the fortress fell and was taken. Then began the pursuit of Manco Inca, who retired from Yucay to ad-dress to Calca. In the narrows the persecutors were victims of landslides and avalanches and suffered heavy casualties. This gave time for Manco to reorganize and prepare a counterattack, which made it back to Cusco.
Lima was also besieged by the armies in-surrectos. At the meeting Chulcamayu killed the English forces, achieving a good haul consisting Castilla clothing, wine and other articles of, and black slaves. In Jauja also annihilate the small English army, but could not cause the offensive end due to the lack of coordination and delay in the arrival of huancas forces, and for having been knocked out the general wanted Yupanqui, architect of the past successes, posteriorly who lost his life.
After he retired in Chuquisaca and Tambo, Manco accept harboring four English who claimed to be fleeing from the governor, Vaca de Castro, but actually had the intention to kill him. Indeed, Manco was acouchis-oped in the back and died a few days, not without having designated as his successor and heir to Tupac Sayri.
With the arrival of the first viceroy and the publication of ordinances was upset and confusion among the con-conquerors in the kingdom and there were Levan-treatments such as Gonzalo Pizarro, who died, like many of his own in bloody wars civilians. The fabulous amounts of gold and silver found-tered in the New World were the motive of such hostilities. One of the most insatiable pre-cisely was Gonzalo Pizarro, who in his obsessive search for El Dorado, a city of gold supposedly hidden in the jungle, organized shipments of con-sequences fatal, however, made possible the discovery of the Amazon River and a navigable route to the Atlantic.
Pizarro was torn between two myths that told of this city. One of them had met after crossing Panama. In it he spoke of a Chibcha chief called Guatavita (El Dorado), who once a year cu-bria his body with gold dust and allowed to drive in a pond covered with gold plates to the center of a volcanic lake large depth (near Bogotá, in modern Colombia). There was thrown into the water with plenty of can-taro, also of the fine and precious metal to swim back to their own effort to shore. This appeared to be a ritual to demonstrate the capability and control force and a ceremo-nial of offerings representing the rebirth of the Sun The other myth is referred to the existence of Paiquinquin Qosqo and Inca King. There was talk about sources of gold on the eastern slopes of the mountains and rivers of the jungle. It was said that the city had hidden the gold statues of each of the sovereigns who ruled the empire, which made her lovely dam. The Paititi
, after many months, came the time when the Inca Capac Shock should be ready to come into contact with Paco Pacuris, those strange scholars residing in the interior of the caves, who lead him to the Pachayachachi (world teacher).
This contact, which raises levels of aware-ness, understanding and vibration community to been awaited for a long time, and meant that the doors would be sealed Paiquinquin outer world indefinitely.
Almost a century later, Jesuit missionaries LLE-Garon almost fainting to the borders of that sanctuary, trying to counteract the harmful action of the colonial authorities with the true Christian message, that nothing seemed to him that is justified oppression. They were allowed -were coming and served with great attention to its recovery. Then, his example and his message, once confronted with the Andean cultural tradition, without contradictions or contempt, was to sink deep into the Inca who reigned at the time, so the sovereign rano accept the Christian faith for him and community, while cultivating their ancestral traditions continue.
Catholic clerics marched back to the viceroyalty, but not before committing to remain silent about the Community of Sanctuary and its location. However, for indiscretions in the convent, came to the attention of the authorities the existence of a mysterious place where they stayed the descendants of the Incas, with no greater authority than themselves. Te-merous of a repetition of the phenomenon of insurrection-tion of Vilcabamba, an expedition was prepared for submission and the Jesuits were forced to be their guides. But the issue never reached its destination. Willfully or through neglect, the missionaries never could find the shrine. On the journey many of the climbers died of dysentery, others drowned in rivers and swamps or in-insect stings and bites from snakes and other animals. Some more, lost, lost and died because of hunger.
Just as there were attempts to recapture and resistance the European spiritual movements also emerged and philosophical beliefs and sought to recover the original order of the Sons of the Sun disappeared due to eliminating the ruling class. One of these movements was the tachy Oncoy (trance through song and dance). This was a real effort to unify the beliefs by the figure of the god Apu Punshao (Spirit of the heart or soul). This movement, which was maintained for a long time, rejected both the Christian rite and European customs and vices of the Viceroy-born. Began in 1567 led by Juan Chocne, who only appeared for the ceremony held in secret. The ritual consisted of painting red body, then marching to the huaca (shrine, temple or pyramid), it meant that the race should remain pure red against the invaders. Dragged on for hours singing and dancing for all attendees, seeking to achieve a state of trance in which flowed the fasts of purification. Juan Chocne affirm same-Maba maintain contact with an entity that is dis-placed by the bright sky on a flying basket. The tachy Oncoy
extended to come into contact with the Incas of Vilcabamba, the jungle border of the empire, and spiritually and materially involved many people. Tupac Amaru I was one who, living with English, participated secretion directly in a company called "The amaru" to survive the messianic movements came to be linked later with the community and Paititi Q'eros.
The Paititi would remain a myth to await the time when the constellation of Miquiquiray mark the final opening to guide humanity into a golden age and spirituality. Its doors would be open for those who, from outside, were ready to make good use of the know-how for so long ensconced in the Community of Sanctuary.
In my story there were times that Don Santiago corrected the translator translations she made of my words, which demonstrated how attentive that was what he said. Indeed, when I mentioned for the first time Auqui Shock was evidently thrilled all present eros `Q, smiling and saying out loud his name. After the event
embraced me warmly thanking the eros Q `give back its history and memory,,,
(Sampiac, 17/05/1910)
For reasons of work could not be days before peer making preparations and working on the logistics of the expedition to Paititi 2010, taking responsability and the weight of the work and Francisco Sosa Daniel Lague Peru. They were joined Cristian Sánchez days after Argentina and Holland Patries Van Helsen support in all matters relating to make a medical kit as complete as possible, and establish adequate diet all lead.
When confirmed in 2009 guides the implementation of the new trip to Paititi had already committed all of 2010 with various travel and conferences in various parts of Peru and the world, which had to be canceled or rescheduled once we knew the exact dates . Among the activities that were agreed, it was a trip to the Cusco with an international group of people, mostly American scholars of what is shamanism. Because of the proximity to the dates of travel to Paititi, I wanted to cancel that undertaking, but the organizer of that urged me not to do so. So when traveling to Cusco and get these people to the airport in the ancient capital of the Incas, the surprise I found that those who received us were Santiago Quispe Pampamisayoq, son of Don Mariano Quispe altomisayoq the largest community of Q 'eros, guardians of ancestral Andean tradition, and Dona Maria Apas, sister of Don Mariano, and only altomisayoq women.
organizer Laurie Friedler group had reached agreement with Don Mariano for it to accompany us all the places we would visit in Cusco, to "offices" or tables of offerings to the Apus, guardian spirits of the mountains and the four elements and the Earth, the Sun, Moon and stars. At the last moment Don Mariano was considered best to stay in the snow of Ausangate, where he was fasting and meditating, sending their relatives so that we attend.
was an amazing experience to go along with these people of great wisdom, yet an exemplary humility and simplicity to the most important archaeological sites in the city and surrounding areas as: Sacsayhuaman (the hill fortress or temple of the falcon), Q'enko ( Zigzag or shrine instead of the Puma) and Tambomachay (Place the Cave of rest or also known as the Baths of the Inca), and the Coricancha (Sun Temple). Laurie
asked especially to James and Dona Maria in their kintus or offerings, as well as in their offices to call for a special protection and blessings for the thirteen people who were going to Paititi.
The degree of friendship and integration promoted by the Qeros Laurie (who are the guardians from five hundred years ago the Inca Trail that descends from the mountains of Paucartambo to the jungles of Mother of God), was such that they asked us to be godparents the son of James and son of Manuel, nephew of James, so that not only conditions were to receive on behalf of the expedition the best blessings of those people who are masters of spirituality, but above related to them asking us as to who were on this trip were the new Q'eros Q'eros or fees.
more intense work we do with Raqchi Q'eros was 120 km from Cusco, in the huge temple to the god Viracocha, comparable only to the temple of Karnak in Egypt, for its dimensions, columns and even the sacred lake. Raqchi really is one of the most spectacular and magic of Cuzco, yet the least advertised and visited. There Q'eros teachers with Laurie as officiating put on the table arranged on the floor, heart-shaped stones on a blanket on the disk image Paititi. There were offerings to the four directions, is called upon protective spirits of the mountains and the four elements, and we purified its ritual. A detail was beautiful gesture on the part of Laurie and her group have sent make six-pointed stars representing the balance between the material and the spiritual with the symbols of the mission were equally blessed Rama and gave them to be give them to each of the participants of the expedition Paititi 2010. While performing this ceremony held inside a circular building old and homeless, appeared in heaven or halo encircling the sun very beautiful and intense.
At the end of the ceremony and with the presence of a young translator Cusco, the Q'eros asked me to tell his story, since the late colonial and early republic, farmers enslaved them and made them lose memory, stopping to explore mistreating and mocking them compared with the typical Inca ceremonial vessel called "Kero" into thinking they were people without history and that existed only to serve as a glass.
All you remember the "Q'eros" is that the Inca after leaving them there among the mountains of Paucartambo, caring the way to Valley Cosñipata became jaguar (jaguar) and lost in the jungle of Paititi. And they are hoping the Inca regains her memory and return to rule the jungle, freeing them of their commitment to be there as guardians of the road waiting for their return. Once a year
of all peoples of Andean pilgrims come to the snow of Ausangate to celebrate the feast of Qollority (Snow Star), a ceremony held ascending the glacier, and that relates to the crucified Christ, but contains all the symbolism of the ordeal of the Andean world represented in the martyrdom of Inca rulers and the hope of the resurrection of the huacas and its rulers ancestral.
with great solemnity and dressed in a poncho Q'ero began to tell the story aloud to the descendants of the royal Panacas (families of former rulers) trusted me in 1990 in the former palace of Pachacutec in the Plaza de Armas in Cusco (Plaza Huacaypata or place of prayer).
My story said:
"A slight trail of dust rising from a distance was the keeper of the inn warned (resting place on the way). This announcement immediately chasqui arrival (e inca) and proceeded to give notice to relay the need to prepare and warm body to collect the information of co-rreo approaching. The cobbled road that ara-Naba Mountain snaked through the Andean mountains over three thousand meters above sea level.

Suddenly, the room echoed the past accompanied corrective steps closer to their ultimate goal, with arms bent and folded across the chest, heart racing, breathing hampered by the height and wheezing in the face smothered an-silos to deliver the relay to relay.

In its mission would carry the headdress of feathers as an umbrella to the coachman, a symbol of defying the majority of Jahua ñan (way up), part of the Capac Nan (imperial road system).
Usually the message was transmitted by word of mouth, so when it was close enough so that the other might hear, began the story aloud to have time to finish the time to put the baton in the hands of the relay. But this time the message was terse, the chasqui was limited to hand over the chuspa (multicolor cloth bag) that hung from his shoulder and fell on the uncu (tunic).

The guard had left the building up of a single piece of 100 or 30 feet, locked behind thick walls of adobe and stone, one of which is two doors up-ban. Quick way were two edi-tions constructed under adobe, whose hits were against looking at each other. Each was inhabited up to four people per-manecían chasquis outstanding mail. But he found the place half empty, the result of epidemics and civil war that plagued the empire. Fortunately, in one of the huts found the chasqui hatun Churo Mullo, group leader, a man of few wrinkled and some fifty years he was waiting alert. Mullo Churo the office had developed much of his life, his experience had led him to even reach the level-zar mallku (Condor or authority connected with the Apus of the mountains), regarded even by upper the huaman (falcon). Preparing

Churo Mullo went on the road and an-sied await the arrival of the request. I take it in your hands and grasping accelerated strongly over leaving to that other man, pale, ashen, which fell heavily on his knees, covering her face with her hands and bursting into sobs uncontrollably like a child.
while achieving the first five hundred meters from his tour, the chasqui perceived by touch the contents of the bag: a small quipu and a piece of crimson fringe bloody imperial insignia. The tears began to asso-Mar through the eyes of one Andean. Climbed-lime ones are carved into the rock, put it straight into a small bridge made of large stone slabs that rose hundreds of feet. His feet, shod in sandals of leather and bondage flame black wool light crept through the cobbled path towards the Qosqo, the capital of the kingdom in turmoil.
On both sides of the narrow valley rose, solid and rocky, rugged mountains of geography. The coachman crossed over a river on a bridge made of woven wicker, on which had been colo-ed wood tables or a way to floor. As the long distance, the bridge is strongly bent and shaking, but was safe by having baran-Dilla of rope and be subject to stone towers on each end.
Passing through the growing areas, the road is closed with side walls, as a precauto-ria for any damage that may cause troops during the campaigns. Some mitmaj (mitimae or settlers uprooted from their original village and inserted elsewhere either as punishment or for his loyalty, being located in sensitive areas) were working when they saw the chakra quickly in the mail. They stopped to observe seat with their chaqui fuer-za-taclla (plows standing). In their faces, they looked acullicu extrusion (ball of coca leaves), it drew a sneer that accompanied the sound of a dry-cupitajo is thrown violently on the ground by one of the youngest. Mullo Churo
Al chasqui relay was followed, which together, could cover in just five days of the great distance que separa Cajamarca del Qosqo, calculada en unas doscientas leguas (una legua corresponde a 5 552 metros).
El último chasqui fue el portador de la terrible noticia: el capac ucha (gran delito) se había consumado con el asesinato del Sapan Inca Huáscar. También se daba a conocer el número de zungazapas (hombres barbados) que venían, a pie o montados en "llamas gigantes", así como los pueblos aliados que los acompañaban.
Huayna Capac, padre de Huáscar y de Ata­hualpa ascendió al trono en el año de 1481, a los 30 años de edad.
El soberano bebía mucho, sin llegar a embo­rracharse. Era afable y muy querido por sus vasallos; se le admiraba por su valentía and prudence, and he feared for being a ruthless conqueror. Had more than one hundred fifty boys and women. The daughter of Mr. Main begat Quito Atahualpa, was born in Qosqo Huascar, the product of the union with Rahua coya Ocllo, sister and second wife legitimate, because the older coya had not been able to bear offspring . When Huayna Capac
marched to Quito, where he remained for 10 years, Huascar stay in office in Cusco. Constantly met with the four suyuyuj apu, who were heads of each his (or cardinal point region). Huayna Capac
ruled for more than three decades pursuing its policy territorial extension and strengthening of governmental organization started by his father Inca Tupac Yupanqui, great achievement-dor and statesman. Tupac Yupanqui
wanted to carry out an am-tious expansion of the empire both to the Contisuyo (the west or the ocean) and to the Antisuyo (east or jungle), as the chronicler Pedro Sarmiento de Gamboa, so that the Inca himself led the expedition to the islands of the sea with 400 rafts or boats and 20,000 fighters. This adventure lasted from 9 months to a year. Recall that Heyerdhal Thor (Norwegian) in the early fifties of the twentieth century, mounted the Kontiki expedition, so that in a boat made of reeds (a plant similar to Egyptian papyrus) showed that ocean currents act as highways in the Pacific and South America could easily connect with Easter Island. The arrival of Tupac Yupanqui to Easter Island would have been perpetuated in the memory of the people, having named a canal and a bay as Te-ava-nuo Tupa (which translates as "King's Bay Tupa"). This would explain why some of the hundred Ahus or ceremonial center of the Rapa Nui, have huge bricks and placed close to the Inca style. There is also a record that long after the arrival of the Maori to the island led by their king Hatu Matua, who has come to be called clans "Mook Hanau" or "short-eared men, there is a new wave of people coming to settle in and share the island, and that they will be called" Hanau Eepe "or" long ears ", which reminds us to" apricots Qosqo "who were the Inca nobles were deformed ears and head resemble the gods of heaven. Ears long and apparently underwent enslaved short ears, which were revealed after exterminating the first, destroying even many Ahus and tearing down of the Moai statues. Some of the most modern Moais would be the time of occupation Inca, hence the profile and ears of the statues. This would coincide with the mountainous terrain of the plateau Pantiacolla in the jungles of Manu, which looks like a giant Moai lying. Recall that the citadel of Machu Picchu was as protected not only by the spirits of four mountains or Apus located in the four directions, so was the way in relief of a face looking to the sky located in the mountain of Wayna Picchu.
Before, during or after the war of the clans destroyed the ecosystem of the island, and wiped out the native forests. According to the myths
Easter Island's first inhabitants of the Isle of Matakiterani or Notehenua Tepito, and with which the explorers found Originally posted by King Hatu Matua were called "lizard men", which would coincide with the information provided by guides aliens called "Fallen Angels" from Orion. Reptilian looking beings, which in this case would have been exiled or deported to Earth, and especially the most isolated island. Its location seems to be reaffirmed in the New Kingdom Egyptian papyrus called "Cast Away", an Egyptian story that locates the survivors of a group of lizard men stranded on an island.
The other military expedition of the Antisuyo, was directed toward the conquest of the forest area of \u200b\u200bMadre de Dios, where sent 40 000 warriors. But the strong resistance of the aboriginal tribes, coupled with the difficult geography of tur-bios rivers and streams, dense forests and impenetrable, parasites and all sorts of vermin, as well as excessively hot and humid weather forced the Incas decimated armies pact with the Great Granny, lord and chief of the tribes of the region Paititi. Testimony of the agreement was the construction of the city called Paiquinquin (translates as "it is" or "the encounter with the true self"), ge-mela city to Qosqo Pantiacolla the plateau, as the last post of penetration in the jungle, connected with Paucartambo seven inns and pucaras (forts) along the roads. While it was consid-ered Qosqo the "navel" of the Andean world, or Paititi Qosqo Paiquinquin would be the "heart" (soul).
the bottom of the lagoon city built on a square to ensure water resources. This place is considered a shrine by the locals, was next to a waterfall and a mountain with a human face crossed by deep caverns. Legend has it that the interior of the caves looked out tall men dressed in white or beige suits. Thus, the advanced Inca not only had to seek permission of the Indians of the area, but also of the inhabitants of the underground or "guardians first." It was said that these, Paco Pacuris (guardians) were survivors of a civilization-tion that spread throughout the Amazon region and posed a intraterrestrial humanity. Huayna Capac
faced like her father insurrections many different peoples. To maintain territorial integrity punishments, such as that suffered by the natural point of Santa Elena and Tumbes, whom they call the "toothless": men, many of women and children were subjected to the extraction of teeth the upper jaw. Or the case of indigenous Carangue: defeated in battle lord-denominated slay fifteen thousand of them as edi-tion and example to intimidate and prevent future uprisings.
uprisings in the north of the empire were used by Huayna Capac to consolidate territories as the Gulf of Guayaquil and the Chachapoyas region, and to bring the border to the river Ancasmayo (in the territory of present-day Colombia). Huayna Capac was in Quito when informed of an invasion by the antis in the south east (wild Chirihuanas family of the Guarani). As in the past, they besieged the southern border of the empire, but were soon re-pelidos by imperial troops under the command of apusquipays YASC.
Paradoxically, the end of Huayna Capac LLE-gari with the arrival of the Viracocha to the north coast, and that since then the epidemic of smallpox spread throughout the kingdom, introduced by the black-nails is accompanying them. Inca himself ill soon the terrible evil that the whole body covered with sores. When he was bedridden, had a vision, at the foot of his bed, three midgets and gray humanoid beings who wanted to talk.
then I consult the Pachacamac oracle about his illness and the meaning of that ex-tran appearance. The priest and seer of the most im-portant temple coast revealed that he would not die of that evil. But it was not.
the death of Huayna Capac, in Quito, and several brothers Atahualpa and Huascar with the same disease, including possible Tomebamba originally designated heir, Ninan Cuyuch, the field remains open to be crowned Huascar, who had supported by the nobility of Qosqo (dried apricots). Then, four elders in charge of recording everything that happened during his reign his successor said: "Oh, Sapan Inca, big and powerful, the sun, moon, earth, mountains and trees, stones and your parents to beware of in-Fortunio and make it prosperous, happy and bienaven-tured on all those born, know ye that the things that happened to your predecessor are these (...) "and then, looking at the ground and down the ma-us with great humility, I realized all they knew .
Huayna Capac's remains were taken to Qosqo from Quito and deposited in his palace under the care of Capac used chunca camayoc (servant of the royal mummies).
Hualpa Huascar Inti Cusi received the imperial fringe at the age of 34 years.
As heir to the Inca, Huascar would carry a mascaypacha (corona) similar to that, with the difference that this logo was smaller and yellow.'s successor and wore the unco llacolla (layer two) over the left shoulder, discov-ered leaving the right arm. The unco applications used to be studded with gold, stones, shells and feathers. These items had all the Inca, but the fabric quality and the decor was different.
The trousseau was prepared in the ajllahuasi (Temple of the Moon), vicuna wool is reserved for the nobility, including a chuspa hanging from the shoulder. The llaut (touched) was always polychrome and terminating in the mascaypacha. This was placed on the head that looked short hair whose length did not exceed two fingers (the privilege of the nobles). From llaut also hung pictures and flowers made of feathers also used metallic ornaments cos in the head and chest a Canipe (gold and silver medallions). In the flag or the ear lobe piercing was higher than in the rest of the high, the tendrils were so large and sumptuous extremely distorted and stretched ears. Also used in the Ursut ornaments (sandals) and wrist hung a Chipana (gold bracelet).
The suntur Paucar (the rod) was of wood covered with feathers and a half long but a little less than a pike. The new chief, endowed with the charisma of leadership, was recognized as a distant descendant of the progenitor-tor who is in his grave well preserved, and this in turn descended from the founder of the ayllu and, therefore, its spirit soberano. La secuencia era: jefe vivo, jefe momificado, fundador humano y espíritu fun­dador. Para todos los pueblos andinos, el espíritu fundador por excelencia era el wari. Según la creen­cia, el wari había creado todos los grupos humanos organizados en comunidades y aldeas.
Desde su coronación, Huáscar mostró cual seria el perfil de su reinado. Contra la costumbre, no per­mitió que el willaj-umu (Sumo sacerdote), tío suyo, sacrificase a un pequeño niño como ofrenda a los dioses. Sorprendido, el sumo sacerdote prosiguió la ceremonia pronun­ciando la oración ante la imagen del dios Wiracocha en el Coricancha, que era el templo mayor de the in-ing in Cusco. As a god Viracocha after transcendent, not locatable in space, ambiguous (neither male nor female), higher than the sun itself which had created, was represented as a human being-hand with a beard and wearing a robe, in Raqchi his own temple.
The sentence read: "Lord, that we offer (a sacrifice called), because we have quietly and help us in our wars and to preserve our Lord the Inca at its grandeur and state, and to be ever increasing and give him much to know so that rule us. "
Some believe that the cause of the failure of Huascar was their serious and innovative. Always occupied in affairs of state, avoided social activities like eating out in the public square, customs among the Incas, what remained popular within the stratum of the nobility. They said that Huascar would be punished by the gods for bringing so many changes in the city seeking to correct what he considered lax attitudes and decay.
Among other things, ordered to bury the dead walked among the living before, and took away everything they had, it was the best of the kingdom, contrary to religious custom immemorial that the dead-ments should be served as if they were alive by providing them with vessels of gold and silver. Moreover, most service people, treasures, food, gas, cough and services were held by the living dead and the attending, as these servants "live" and interpreting what they said was the will of the dead. When they were like eating or drinking, saying it was desire of the mummies, if you wanted to go to idle home from others, said it was customary to leave the dead to visit each other and rejoiced with great dancing and drinking. Some times were also home to other living and they to theirs. Huáscar
also try to end the Realty-ralidades that encouraged some bad priests and many noble, it also earned him enemies and more of a palace intrigue.
Atahualpa sent his greetings to the newly crowned Sapan Inca Huascar, along with many and rich presents to the sovereign's mother, Mama Ragua Ocllo, and his wife, Chuqui coya Huypa.
Atahualpa was a young man about 31 years, with a shapely body, rather thick and tough, big and beautiful face and fierce. His eyes were red and burning. He spoke gravely and rest, was lucid and sensible, cheerful, intelligent and communicative. With the gifts was a request that his brother was granted the Quito government. Gave
Huáscar with some suspicion, recommendations dole to be careful, for which he later sent precise instructions. Atahualpa obviously delighted by the positive response, but from the first moment of gossip and intrigue among his relatives and some rivals, such as Ullco Colla, lord of the Canaris, along with the governor of Take-bamba, about a possible conspiracy, produced distrust in the person of Huascar and intense animosity her brother, whose envoys were received in a cavalier fashion.
Soon Huáscar execute command al-conspirators considered UNPACKING characters in-between those who were an uncle and a brother.
Meanwhile, in the north revolted Huancavilca, but were quickly suppressed and almost ex-terminated by Atahualpa. Then he would say that the people had rebelled rather to "work Atahualpa, who wanted to attract to their cause. Gradually
heard rumors, more and more in-tense, the bellicosity of Atahualpa, whose am-bition apparently increased. Spread the story that had seized the rich litter that his father Huayna Capac left in Tomebamba as well as the finest and most delicate clothes that were stored in warehouses, claiming to have been appointed by his father before he died Huayna Capac , as lord of that part of the empire, which consistently achieve bias in his favor, either making use of persuasion or by force.
After consulting with his advisers and te-mere a large uprising and dire consequences that would plunge the empire into a civil war, Huascar request the presence of his brother, but he refused on several occasions adu transcends that could something negative happen by the quantity of enemies he had.
Atahualpa The repeated refusal of non-com-appear before his brother was the straw that broke the patience of the Inca, who saw all this green-dera an affront to their authority. It was then dis-placed the immediate organization of a punitive expedition. Atahualpa
enjoyed great prestige among the bulk of the army and oficialidad, que se hallaba acantonado en el norte, por lo que inmediatamente recibió apoyo multitudinario, aclamándosele por sus dotes de caudillo.
Huáscar, por su parte, dio órdenes para que un poderoso ejército sometiera al supuesto rebelde, en­comendando la jefatura al general Atoc, al que se unieron las fuerzas de Ullco Colla con sus cañaris y tomebambas.
Atahualpa, sabiendo de la amenaza que se cernía sobre él, llamo a sus generales Calcuchimac y Quisquis, pero primero mando mensajeros al encuentro de Atoc para interrogarlo sobre sus intenciones. Al confirmarle que iba a apresarlo, se iniciaron las cruentas luchas que inmediatamente produjeron una inesperada derrota en el bando quiteño cerca Tomebamba, falling prisoner Atahualpa himself, who was taken to prison.
One night, when all was uproar by the rapid and unexpected victory and the men of war was held, there was the brother of the Inca leakage through one of his wives will fa-cilitates a copper bull that achievement open a hole in the wall. This woman had used bribery and some potions with which the guards fell asleep. Atahualpa affirm after "Through the magic of his Father Sun had with a snake-dumping and escaping from confinement."
again in Quito gathering his people together in a new battle-fronts in the town of Riobamba, where there were many casualties on both sides. This time the winner was Atahualpa. Volume Atoc general prisoner, who ordered torture, and was its decision to go through with arrows, the body of the head of the Canaris.
The war was bloody, with wins and losses by both sides. At a time when forces seemed imposed Huascar and out in pursuit of the decimated troops re-Belda, the Inca, who was in charge of a part of his army, fell into a trap. Quisquis, this veteran general who served Atahualpa, in a suicidal act was launched with some of his men against the king berth, making fall from the litter and taking him hostage. Once in prison, Huascar was savagely tortured piercing their shoulders to make a rope which you drag. Once
name was Inca, Atahualpa ordered terrible reprisals against the family of Huascar, which was almost entirely wiped out, kill it before it to further increase their suffering. In Qosqo spread the kill-za starting with the nobles loyal to the king won. Another of his brothers had fled or hid may be granted, and only a few have been forgiven for being very young and found the care of the remains of Huayna Capac and his Waukeen (double gold and stone sculpture, who kept the mummified heart of the sovereign).
On that occasion also been persecuted and killed the quipucamayoc (teachers quipus, mnemonic system of recording information and accounting). It set fire to the quipus, in order to eliminate the history files and thus legitimize the usurper Atahualpa. During the barbarism were destroyed equally wooden tables contained in a symbolic way the origins and history of the Incas, as well as Wari ancestors, whose clothing had ordered the Inca Pachacutec, and with it also disappeared the interpretation keys of tocapus (symbols). Even
taken prisoner by the European troops, Atahualpa could consummate his revenge. One night in Cajamarca, where Atahualpa was very happy in the company of some soldiers, look to the sky and saw a comet on fire Qosqo; is-lifting and raising his glass to celebrate said: "Soon shall die in the land a great lord. " Such words were merely the anticipation of their desires. Should quickly get rid of Kuas-car, fearing that could viracocha return back to power. He immediately ordered to murder his rival, and as a symbol of power drank the chicha in his skull, which embed a command (wide-mouth glass kero and narrow body) and a straw between his teeth.
same fate later suffered two brothers Atahualpa as Huaman Mayta Tito Yupanqui. Finding these in Cajamarca, Pizarro asked permission to go to Qosqo, but in the way they were killed by order of Atahualpa.
During his captivity, Atahualpa had the oppor-tunity to closely know the English and their very distinct weaknesses, among which excessive ambition. Therefore, in a relatively short time offered to pay for their freedom with three rooms full of gold and silver to the level he reached his hand standing on the points-plants of the feet. The Europeans agreed that exchange and gave his word to release once the offer cum-plier.
Treasures actually began to arrive in Cajamarca. On July 18, 1533 the division took place between 67 cavalry and 110 infantry who accompanied Pizarro, rose-do the amount to 1'326, 539 castellanos of gold and about 57,000 marks of silver. (A Castilian of gold were 0.46 g and 230 g frame, so you can pre-Cisar that the bailout amounted to about 610. 20 kg of gold, more than half a ton of gold and 13 tons 110 kilos silver!)
However, payments are insufficient escaped death Atahualpa, as the conquerors had no time seriously considered keeping his promise, with the possibility of the Inca, once free, and knowing the nature of their captors, runs the same attack against them. Inca
When he realized he was lost and that foreigners were liars and very cunning, he recalled that a famous magician named Challco had prophesied the downfall of the empire, saying: "very soon you have to look down from your throne and pan-Jado of your kingdom and not subject Huáscar [...] but to some foreigners who are sailing the seas against the fury of the winds, frustrating its storms. They have taken the safe harbor in this region are people [...] serious, ambitious, bold and tireless in their enterprises [...] You'll be a prisoner, take your life and have her home and will expire your illustrious ancestry. "
also came to his mind what his father Huayna Capac had said at the time of his death: in full party Inti Raymi in Qosqo was coming through the air a condor pursued by five or six and as many kestrel falcons, which shifts as the condor attacking, blocking and trying to kill fly with their beaks. The Condor, from being unable to defend , fell in the middle of the square, among the priests, who saw the touch-tobacco is sick, covered with dandruff, scabies and with almost no feathers, a fact which was considered a bad omen.
was also the account of an oracle consulted Huayna Capac to the throne, where he will soothsayers-Ticino real bloodshed, war and, fi-nally, the destruction of the empire. The Inca, indignant at such a prophecy, fired in a bad way to the prophets, but was left with the uncertainty and anxiety control dam gather all the conjurers, in-clus one very notable yauyu nation, all of which confirmed the prediction. The Inca, disimu-lando fear, the valediction. They were later ordered a lot of sacrifices and consultation to all oracles, but the answers were confusing. Atahualpa
recalled when, sarl expressed his last wishes, his father had said: "Many years there by the revelation of our Father Sun, we have past twelve Incas from the founder, his sons would come new people and not known in these parts to win and subject to all the Empire, our king at the time and many others. I suspect that we know will have an "given by our sea coast; be brave and unscrupulous people who will benefit us all . also know that it meets my reign and my fa-milia that prophecy, for what I feel and I certify that a few years after I'm gone from you, that will meet new people and what our father told us Sun, and won the important periods and be masters of it to the disgrace of all. "Atahualpa
garrote was submitted to the August 29, 1533, after he commuted the death by fire for accepting the Christian faith and be baptized with the name John. He is accused of having orderly-swimming death of his brother Huascar and conspired against the English, planning a treacherous attack. During his funeral, men and women took their own lives to join him on his journey.
In September, Pizarro went to the capital of Tahuantinsuyo part of their hues-ing, but on the way suffered intense harassment ment troops dismantled by Atahualpa's generals, who still could not believe what happened to their leader and master.
seeking the support of indigenous anti-government and taking advantage of the intrigues and internal tensions evident Inca and the chaos, the conquerors were named Ca-Cajamarca to Hualpa as Topa Inca, but died in Jauja poisoned by General Calcuchimac One of those loyal to Atahualpa, who later would be burned alive by order of Pizarro, as he did with many of the commanders and chiefs of the peoples they encountered on the road after they landed.
From Cajamarca to Qosqo were thirty-two main villages. After two months the invading armies, multiplied by the tens of thousands of Indians opposed to Tahuantinsuyo Qosqo took possession of the center of the Inca Empire, without any resistance they found that prevented the deaths and the looting and destruction of temples and palaces. These had already been partially breached by the victors of the battle of Quito Quipaypan, which left more than 180, 000 dead.
Qosqo-Llaqta that housed the conquerors found around some two hundred thousand people TAS, was divided into two parts: Qosqo or Qosqo Hanan and Hurin High Qosqo Qosqo or Low. The dividing line was the way of Antisuyo, heading east. It was a city mosa big brother, full of monumental structures like temples and palaces, many of which per-manecían uninhabited most of the time because occasional residences of chiefs and nobles who only went to town when approaching a conclusion.
The first quarter was called Colcampata. There he built the palace of the founder Manco Capac. Most of the houses were of stone, finely worked, and other stone had only half of the facade. They also had multi-ple adobe houses laid out with very good order, the streets, cross, very straight, all cobbled and narrow, had sources water and sewerage. Had a central square, flat and em-stone, and arranged around her stood four palaces of the lords, among which was that of Huayna Capac, colorful, whose door was a stone and white marble incarnate.
The city had a puma with a falcon head, which was ruffled feathers at the for-temple-fortresses of Sacsayhuaman, located on top of a round hill and rough, from which dominated the valley. The silhouette was certain nothing Tullumayo and Huatanay rivers, which rise a mile above the Qosqo and then descend to reach the city and two leagues below. All the way was paved for the water to run clean and clear and to prevent overflows while the rivers were swollen. Bridges two gave very solid entry into the city, which had already several thousand years have been built before the arrival-off and settlement of the Incas. At that time his name was Acomama.
The temple fortress guarding the city had a lot of quarters and a pal main tower in the center, made as a cube, with four or five overlapping bodies. The rooms and are-ing of the tower were small, built of large stones, elaborately carved, as well adjusted to each other that seemed to do not wear any mixture-var, and so smooth that simulated planed boards. The monument was to such an extent that could hardly be run entirely on a single day. Was arranged around three towers: Muyoc-brand-brand Sallac Paucar-mark. The whole fort was a large deposit of various weapons (po-lands, axes, arrows and ceremonial dress).
Sacsayhuaman was surrounded by large mu-stripes. There was one part of the hill looking to the city, on a steep slope; other three were built at different levels in the back. The last was the highest. These construc-tions extended along 300-meter-Taban is composed of huge blocks of granite up to 360 tons, some of which reached heights of 9 m, 5 m wide and 4 m thick. These extraordinary proportions per-mitigation that again and serve as a parapet wall to large terraces of land, as if they were giant steps. The embankments were connected through three gates: Tiopunco, Viracochapunco and Acahuanapunco (punco means "door").
Coricancha In the Temple of the European soldiers was dazzled by the magnificence, splendor and pageantry of the sanctuary. The conquerors found a regal building fac-ture, with cyclopean stone walls, delicately worked on inclines, trapezoidal doors. The temple consisted of eight large chambers whose walls were square on the inside and out huge sheets and sheets of pure gold, with in-crustaciones emeralds and other precious stones. Inside, the seats also wore gold ornaments. In the back of the temple was the garden of the Sun, a place of incredible beauty, deco-pared with the Inca gold, disciple and heir of the master achievements of the northern Chimu culture, which I think realistically this strange and amazing place which is reproduced in full-scale trees and various plants, their flowers and fruits insects and all kinds of animals. In an artificial lake floating gold fish and around the sculpture garden-structures were erected, also of size, servers, mu-men and men, carrying pots and offerings of this fine metal. This, together with the large disk of the sun that covered the walls inside the shrine, was removed to be melted and divided among the soldiers. The spoils of plunder Qosqo reported to deduce the king was 580, 000 pe-sos and 215 gold, 000 silver marks.
Another brother of Huascar survivor of the bloody persecution was shock Auqui, ber young men of medium height and good-looking, intuitive and intelligent. Lived in the Amarucancha and was to serve the remains of his father Huayna Capac and of fate. Auqui shock was attached to the prophecies of the hill Guanacuari where caba practiced divination using mainly ho-jas coca or through playful exercises and games of chance such as Piske. In this way, the classification of the numbers in favorable and adverse determined the fate of the person concerned. In a consultation Emergency Auqui five repeated repeatedly. The symbol that was the hand belonged, that is a trial and penance, a time of darkness. Therefore, convened in secret to all of yachayhuasi amautas, the more quipucamayocs wise and im-portant that survived the hunting and intellectuals who remained hidden in the city, and the priests of spirituality that had been known to trick the army of Atahualpa and hide the Waukeen.
Once collected, Shock poses the possibility of a collective escape route to safety. For this would be assisted by the inhabitants of Atuncancha, where he lived-in houses a hundred priests and mamacunas near the Temple of the Sun From there the escapees in-essentially focusing on the Coricancha overnight to enter the Great Chingana, labyrinthine underground tunnel va por debajo de la ciudad hacia la fortaleza de Sacsayhuaman; luego seguirían por otro túnel cer­cano en dirección a Paucartambo.
Estos túneles habían sido construidos por los antiguos wari, edificadores de la primera ciudad del Qosqo, quienes seguían al dios de Tiahuanaco, Viracocha, y a su enviado Tonopa o Tunu-Apaj, el predi­cador mendigo y ermitaño que habitaba en la Pacarina (gran lago). El mito dice que la humanidad fue castigada con un diluvio por despreciar las enseñanzas del peregrino, salvándose un solo hombre bueno. El arcoiris que se formo después del diluvio era una víbora de muchos colores que se trasladaba al cielo, pero era de tal vo­racidad que tragaba As found. When he was dead they opened the bowels and out came the men, animals and so many things I had eaten.
The story is well acquainted with the prince and the related shock wave of disasters that had azo-graph the Inca people, epidemic, civil war and invasion of the fierce and ambitious zungazapa wearing rigid plates and gleaming like silver where the arrows bounced off the rocks. This could mean that a great punishment had fallen on Earth, forcing them to do penance: to emigrate and to save what could be saved. Then began pacaricuc (fasting general).
The target date to leave would be in the middle of Uma Raymi (Easter water, the month of October). You select a certain number ajllas swimming young (women chosen to serve the church or marriage with the nobility) and strong, to accompany the group that would rescue the di-LUID spiritual empire in the superficiality and banality of the court .
The night before the flight, which would be early hours-charged, the prince was dedicated to making ablutions and purification baths in the palace of the panaca (clan) of Huayna Capac, called Tomebamba Ayllu. At that moment the old Willka-Umu, who replaced the high priest killed shortly before. The noble patriarch walked to be close to where lay the pond where the boy was sitting completely naked, while bending the urpus server (oval pitchers) of water on his back. The spacious room, with colorful tapestries covered the walls and floor from one end to another, was illuminated and heated by a powerful light. When shock was the old man, this went on with respect and admiration, saying
"Dear Prince, you are so young and inexperienced and small and unlikely forces are our hope, but I take comfort in knowing that small increases and experience value increases with in-ucation errors. You take a large group of young Mystics like you and a small circle of wise elders. But all the best and all you-Nemos. I think not rebuild what was lost, but rather think rescuing spirituality that characterized the beginnings of the Inca, and also know you do not see again, nor those who accompany you [...] Therefore I wish you well. About
know you agree that you deserve the label of huachacuyoc (charitable), as a child always loved the underdog and art benefactor of the poor. Now you've chosen a very bold mission and, if blessed from on high, fill your life for your offspring to perpetuate bliss is ours.
If you manage your tasks and you settle in peace and security, the facts of your life will be known in the future and will result in songs and legends, but the important thing is to awaken and enlighten the dor-midas consciences of those who were allowed to wrap in the darkness that now befalls us all [... ] No doubt that if it was written in your destiny and ours what is going on, we got to where you need [...] and you are allowed to thy seed may again lead this world! [... ] "
conclude the priest with a trembling voice and eyes filled with tears, staring at the ñaupapacha (ancient times). Prince abandonment
the marked ability (House of clothing and treasures of the Inca deceased) wearing simple clothes. Around his neck hung a medallion bearing the disk of the Sun Hung in a thick chain, all of pure gold, and in the right arm he wore a bracelet that had the face of the cat and representatives sat constellation Chinchay Shock, which display ce mark the north and the direction or course, besides being magical symbol for protection against witches and wizards in the land of the antis. Both logos-bian has belonged to his father and now accompany him. He left the gallant young

Runners and crossed sa-lion, carved with great artifice, and adorned with stone shelves way trapezoidal windows give them full of gold and silver objects as llamas or humans, such as figurines of fer-tility and abundance , which glowed with the light coming through skylights very well prepared in every room.
came to the second courtyard where the armory found "real work by duty officers who, helped by the stewards, met all the weapons and supplies possible. Had orders to take them to the Coricancha, where lay the mummified remains Huayna Capac and where also was his Waukeen.
Being in the first courtyard, shock last looked it had been his second home and bent down to touch their hands cobbled where he played as a child. Once he reached the door, the prince proceeded to quietly leave the older servers, thanking them for their years of dedication and care leaving the palace. They did not know where sea-chaba, but confident in their decisions which they considered wise and for the benefit of all. Shock
quietly walked away from the Amaru-cancha and Huacaypata Plaza (now Plaza de Armas) along with an entourage of about 20 people. Walked through the Inti-Kicllu [alley Loreto], having at all times to the left Ajllahuasi da. Despite the lateness of the night, had bonfires and even we heard the plaintive cries that tore the stillness of the privileged place nestled in the Andes. There was no family in the Qosqo that had not lost in a short time more than one family in the wars or pests and unfor-stances that had befallen the Incas. Reaching
Coricancha doors, were received with great respect for permanent guards guarding the entrance to the great shrine. Swiftly crossed the large stone patio that separating the chapels dedicated to the sun, the moon, the star Chaska, the constellation Chinchay Shock and many others. At this point in the sky I hear a loud series of thunder and lightning without rain cracked multiple space.
The priests waited with great nerve-earthquake, among them the high priest appeared Willka - Umu, who approached Shock. After making a respectful bow, placed his hands on the shoulders of that, looking into her eyes and saying,
"Two large snakes are responsible for the Kay-car communication with Janan Pacha Pacha, leaving to go to Pacha Ukju this terrestrial world. Are energy flowing through the outer universe and in-deterioration of every human being and of all things. A crawling on the outside has the shape of the great river Amaru Mayu and know under the name Mama Yaku, the other is walking upright, equipped with two heads, a lower absorbing surface bugs, other than that feeds volatile insects. Barely moves and looks like a dead tree, is Sacha Mama. These large snakes go after the world above, where Mama Yaku becomes illapa (lightning) and Sa-cha Mama koychi (the rainbow). The Inca had to maintain the connection between worlds, as Intipchurin (son of the Sun), but this relationship It has long been disrupted by materialistic greed, ignorance and absence of spirituality, so that chaos is looming so-about the world [...] [...] Our days are numbered as must travel before, dear prince, a warrior of light against darkness, the place where you can re-link the three worlds, because the connection we have lost all humanity. I shall follow the path of the Pakarina. And arriving at your destination you and your descendants must wait patiently for the `Time of Change ', a' New Love-Necer of Humanity" [... ] The earth beneath our feet and leave behind you will remain for centuries subject to a painful purification, a pachacuti, so that in the future may hold the seed of a new humanity based on love, knowledge and faith.
"I put it in your hands sara mama (mother of corn, giant ear) that was placed in the barn of the Sanctuary. Now-tigo anger, and when the time is fulfilled, and your descendants will return to the world as we leave, will bring this seed along with prosperity and abundance. Coca mama stay multiplying the miseries of the men who run out and destroy the Sacha Pacha Mama and Mama.
"We also place it on your head-pacha mascay with the insignia of the heir. When you get to Payquinquin Qosqo'll Inca! [...]"
By lifting his face after receiving the royal insignia-nia, Shock spoke forcefully in front of his people: "I'll talk as I have focused so far, powerful, noble sir. I bow to thee with reverence profoundly. For you nothing is hidden, you know how it is that everything is prepared so that each fulfills its destiny. I shudder to see me here as well to see all that represented loans and the responsibility it assigns to us. I believe we will not fail expectations. "
Prince and lovingly hug the old man and immediately looked for the mallquis (mummies). There were all, except the Inca Tupac Yupanqui, burned and destroyed in retaliation for filing the territories of the ma-ternal grandparents of Atahualpa. Tended the same shock of his father Huayna Capac. The mallquis had been con-vocados in secret by the priest in charge, Mallquip - Uillac, without giving further explanation to mallquicamayocs. Is to safeguard provisions instead leaving the other less important personalities tend vis-imperial clothing.
not much time left. Preparations are rushed to the entrance of the Chingana. The entourage is full-tobacco. The ajllas, conducted from the chapel Keel (Luna), wearing their ACSU (large white woolen cloak) that-you pin on silver, covered their shoulders to the empei-ne. The maids also took over the lliclla (blanket used as a skirt) and his waist were tied a large band and then another an-Gosta with giving several turns of the body. Cu-Brian is also the head with a ñañaza (blanket), which fell on a headband (long tape to hold the hair).
were also selected some elders, quipucamayocs, priests and a few dried apricots. They received this name to bring some earrings in their ears as round as a handle, and so large and heavy that they are are deformed. Thus, the same used on a shorn head and long braids sobrepeine, tied with ropes as thick as a little finger, which gave them two or three laps on it.)
The priests took in their hands torches and marked the path of Chingana, down stone steps into a tunnel, which is currently behind the high altar of the Church of Santo Domingo. Followed by a long, wide corridor leading to the right side of a deep cavern walls rec-TAS showed a huge quarry work.
After ten minutes they arrived at huge chambers. Then the torches were extinguished during the artificially piped water, which ran parallel to the path carved into the rock. Immediately you hear a bustle in-peace, which ceased when there was a luminous-green and fluorescent nosidad issued by a mysterious material that covered all the walls. Had entered the secret depths Pacha Mama (Mother Earth). Sculptured
some rocks appear figures of serpents and jaguars as well as various quillcas (stones filled symbols) lovingly worked to serve the dwelling positive and protective entities trapped by their strength indestructible. And is that the stone has a mythical meaning in the Andes. Rumi provisional ne ruru the same root, meaning "seed." The stone was a kind of seed things Hard-able, eternal.
After a long, slow journey dodging countless traps and abysses, false floors, en-hobs, cords, loose stones, the road began to climb, narrowing to make room for a single row. The high turnout and solid climbs stairs, a small waterfall while violence fell directly on the left, gasping and choking the pa-ment of those who carried the bier of mallquis and wauques. Having gone through the city full-bility for the underground road, very well disguised pro-tected and the output stood at the side of the fortress of Sacsayhuaman. There awaited them a group of fifty aucapomas (warriors) in command of a aucacamayoc (senior captain), who had replaced the guard who controlled this place that night, however, its military presence surprised the suspicious and fearful amauta cot (wise teachers).
were missing a few hours before dawn, so you should hurry to cover the distance between the road to the Urubamba River valley and the next tunnel. Kilometers below the expected hundreds of llamas loaded with provisions and others to lighten the load. It was also envisaged that the reach Paucartambo other groups, including people of Calca, led by Rune llantacamayoc Cayaticoc (village official manager fees).
From Paucartambo left the caravan. It took many days to reach the slopes of Nevado del Huamancaca. Crash Here Auqui decided to leave some of the people guarding the mountain pass leading to Cosñipata Valley, where it descends into the jungle. Both warriors and priest-skills and women remain ayllu as caring for and protecting the path to Paititi. It originated
Community Q'eros sanctuary or, as it is currently known name in Quechua and machiguenga (language of a jungle tribe Cosñipata Valley) means "shelter, re-shot, sanctuary." Become the eyes and Paititi ears of the Community of Sanctuary whose members climbed down and allowed the Inca Qosqo Qosqo know from the world situation. Since then, this ayllu has retained the knowledge of reading the symbols on their pallay (woven on black and white), perhaps waiting for the "time of return and the end of pachacuti or purification of 500 years."
Once they crossed the open on rocks cu-ered to Ritti, thanked the apacheta with these favors received. In its descent into the jungle, some went to the town of Lacco taking some of the berths nas carried the mallquis and Waukeen. In a sought leave pucullo herrings while the rest moved down the valley towards the Amarumayo Cosñipata guided by shock, the Apo Capac Amaru. Shock
walked in front of everyone without any privilege to, as aissavillca it was, giving encouragement to those left behind and offering her shoulder to those who felt faint when the fatigue intensified. Pa-ra he had not antagonistic huamra simply were sons and brothers of a large family that was to survive, they said more than once when people wavered. It was admirable suit when crossing the Oroyas on rivers, was the first to volunteer to carry one end of the palanquin carrying the mallquis, or that first threw mere when rapid dragging someone. Did not lose his mind and his jokes to the crowd burst into laughter, briefly forgetting the tragedy that struck the empire and the suffering experienced by their families, as well as the grueling and difficult journey. This, far from per-der to make people respect him the admiration and love of everyone, including dried apricots reason to forget the protocols. Previously, an Inca did not allow you looked into his eyes, but all sought reflected shock in his eyes to gain strength and courage, and find comfort in his smile, which often sought to hide stoically exhaustion.
At night, the light of coillorcuna (stars) and at a camp, there were some who fall into the temptation of telling stories as the Nakajo macabre (slaughterer) or the Kefka (flying heads) that were disappearing pilgrims spent the night outside dairy farms. Then the prince Shock, who remained behind mu-chas sometimes listening and trying to pass-sapercibido, intervened with a valuable lesson.
One night looked at the sky and pointed to some ex-tran lights that did not fall as other but rather walking at high altitude, sometimes slowly and others quickly, stopping on the site. Once static, the lights grew in intensity, suddenly went out and returned to light after a moment, then moved changing direction and disappeared into the distance. Then mentioned that he sensed his heart-Tthe Aque lights were the heralds of God who showed them-ban the path to follow and protect the group. There was nothing to fear if we all stuck together and with faith. Shock
Every morning on his way to the priesthood gifts greeting the sun, bare feet on the ground, raising his arms above his head and taking a slow deep breath, then opened them in an arc out through your mouth the words "Punchau China! ". He was a strong, melodious singing and repeated several times followed by all.
resume the tour crossed the Apucantiti, ulti-mo rock mass before descending to the green mantle that extended the infinite and meandering rivers. Later penetrated with the Rupa Rupa, an area of \u200b\u200bthick vegetation and very warm. There they came forward about Sacharuna (male deer). He looked ferocious wore paint on their faces, a silver platter stitched nose and hung seed necklaces their necks, in their hair, which was short, wore a headband of black feathers covering their face. They carried wooden arches and very long chonta arrows tipped cane also sawn chonta and knives.
The group froze thinking that tobacco work of runamicuc (cannibals). But warriors do not show-ban hostile, by contrast, welcomed the group and welcomed them. Were waiting.
The Machiguenga (machu-old Incas or Inca), faithful to the Inca Tupac Yupanqui, remained there since the death of this pro-tegiendo the secret route to the Paititi, and having blended into the natural environment and with, what was difficult to recognize.
Once in the village of machiguengas, Crash and his ended his fast and shared TierOne masato (liquor extracted of fermented cassava or manioc). They ate their fill Antis (jungle corn), cassava, plantains and roasted river fish over coals. After two days of continuous-earned rest were escorted by those road warriors.
After a day and a half suffocated by the sharp hike and intricate jungle, arrived at the foot of a plateau from which a waterfall down. There had to climb a slope to a large stone portal worked Cuzco style. Later peeked through the trees the platforms which multiplied with the leg farm. Between two hills lay an artificial lake built as a water supply. Bor-deándola, went to the entrance of an im-pressive dark, dank cave in the shape of heart, which was evident the hand of man.
The first approach was Auqui Shock. From the doorway he heard a sound as if it were roars of jaguars. Then he remembered that, it was said, shamans used to hide pumas and jaguars. But his confidence in superior protection allowed pupils brándose introduced with a torch. Suddenly para-Cieron men dressed in white, in the style of the Inca priests, with long, flowing hair. It was another procession of reception of the trip-wise the Emergency Decree Auqui. After making reverence to a prince, asked him to continue.
crossed for about thirty minutes to the other side of the mountain and came to a place that seemed to be the deepest point of a crater, provided with a circular plaza, niches and many houses and buildings. Then a crowd received with great enthusiasm to the newcomers. There were prayers for the dead and killed in the recent epidemic, civil war and during the invasion of sungazapa. Then there was silence, and people moved away leaving room for the Waukeen were placed in the niches prepared for it. Then, the priest-order skills demanded by pututos sound. In-Circuit then proceeded to officially welcome the heir to the Quispehuasi (House of salvation.) Some women acer-ed loading containers with water to wash, others offered a cumbi (special clothing for ceremonies), and dressed and groomed for the occasion. Meanwhile, a young and chaupiroco tions (70 years old) singing the harauis (epic poems related to the company Auqui Shock, who mentioned the same spiritual background.)
At one end of the square, a Promonte-river, was placed on the Capac USNO (real seat), some of which began to position themselves Willac (priests) dressed with umupachas (priestly garments). Auqui shock had come for receiving the policy uayoc mascaipacha UNANCHA Capac (royal insignia, imperial tassel flowers and fruits). He walked to the Willac who girded him the crown. Then received the insignia of the chewing. Once appointed Shock Inca Capac, bowed to kiss the earth. When you sit up again, raised his arms toward the sun and gave thanks, committing-dose to recover the lost knowledge and spiritual orientation as it was in the Beginning. Then, a priest discovered the Aquilla (ceremonial vase) to the akja drank (a kind of maize beer with low alcohol later called chicha).
important part of the ceremony was belting the crown to the queen. This would be primarily a blood sister of the newly named Inca. When not possible therefore approached the Intic huarmain camayoc (official women of the sun) that had accompanied the caravan watching the virgins, and invited with great respect and solemnity of the monarch to a choice according to what would be his com- ; basket. Embarrassed by this situation, the first shock I managed to say was that it considered all the young maidens allin supascona sumac (good and beautiful girls). Then he looked at one that stood out among all. Throughout the sucquilla (month) Shock had appreciated in this virgin beauty, simplicity and, above all, intelligence and hu-manity that was the weakest. The volume of the arm and called his name Yahuaira (wind). The joy was sung-lines great and congratulations on the maiden multiplied. Immediately into marriage welcome the royal couple.
In the afternoon, the Inca, accompanied by Mama Ya-Huaira, decided to meet with the Council of Elders An-cyano. The next day, very early, promoted a new meeting, but this time, out of habit, called Camacho (assembly of men and women over age) to guide action which is "highest among all."
Clash With this attitude would inaugurate a new era in the history of the Inca rulers. Yachachic also ordered that the rune (preceptor and teacher) of yachayhuasi (House of Knowledge) and other quipucamayocs amautas and proceed immediately to record the latest developments as required by the Inca custom.
While this was happening on land Paiquinquin Paititi, Manco, another son of Huayna Capac, came to meet Fran-cisco Pizarro on the slope of Limatambo. Manco had also secretly Qosqo game, but shortly before shock. At the site of Pizarro Vilcacunca honored and take this to complain about the injustices and crimes they committed the hosts of Atahualpa's generals. Pizarro received from in-mediate the intrigue within the Inca reigned, and he had a staunch ally in Manco. Why not wait longer to recognize as the new Inca Manco, who was crowned with great pomp in the temple of Coricancha. The first sanction
Manco was issued to the general public Mar Calcuchimac, and in com-pany Pizarro went in search of Quisquis, who previously had retired to Quito. Back to Qosqo
was organized an expedition to Chile, under the command of Diego de Almagro, who was accompanied by the Willac-Umu and Paulo Topa. More Pizarro later marched to Lima, leaving the gov-ernment of the capital to his brother Hernando, and Juan Gon-Zalo. Later Manco
would suffer from the consequences of his wrong. He continually called for large quantities of gold and silver and insulted him and mocked him, their culture and their an-forebears. Disappointed, Manco decided to lead an uprising, with the support of Willac-Umu, who had escaped from Chile. Together they prepare for action in the course of four months, after which would wipe out all zungazapa.
By increasing abuse of Pizarro, Manco decided to anticipate the revolt. He then asked authorizations the English to go to Yucay, using Antonillo, interpret Huancavilca home, promising to bring the Waukeen of Huayna Capac. With it came many nobles, but not everyone agreed with the uprising, there were even those who chose to stay on the side of the conquerors.
Soon Manco declared a war front by maintaining a siege of two months on Qosqo, but were themselves loyal to the English Cuzco who managed to break the site and engaged the attackers making them back. They took refuge in the fortress of Sacsayhuaman, where there was a fierce battle that killed Juan Pizarro and the famous Inca captain Cahuide, who threw from the top of a tower, holding in his arms the heads of two English soldiers Noles. There was great slaughter among the Andean countries that favored Europeans, but in the end the fortress fell and was taken. Then began the pursuit of Manco Inca, who retired from Yucay to ad-dress to Calca. In the narrows the persecutors were victims of landslides and avalanches and suffered heavy casualties. This gave time for Manco to reorganize and prepare a counterattack, which made it back to Cusco.
Lima was also besieged by the armies in-surrectos. At the meeting Chulcamayu killed the English forces, achieving a good haul consisting Castilla clothing, wine and other articles of, and black slaves. In Jauja also annihilate the small English army, but could not cause the offensive end due to the lack of coordination and delay in the arrival of huancas forces, and for having been knocked out the general wanted Yupanqui, architect of the past successes, posteriorly who lost his life.
After he retired in Chuquisaca and Tambo, Manco accept harboring four English who claimed to be fleeing from the governor, Vaca de Castro, but actually had the intention to kill him. Indeed, Manco was acouchis-oped in the back and died a few days, not without having designated as his successor and heir to Tupac Sayri.
With the arrival of the first viceroy and the publication of ordinances was upset and confusion among the con-conquerors in the kingdom and there were Levan-treatments such as Gonzalo Pizarro, who died, like many of his own in bloody wars civilians. The fabulous amounts of gold and silver found-tered in the New World were the motive of such hostilities. One of the most insatiable pre-cisely was Gonzalo Pizarro, who in his obsessive search for El Dorado, a city of gold supposedly hidden in the jungle, organized shipments of con-sequences fatal, however, made possible the discovery of the Amazon River and a navigable route to the Atlantic.
Pizarro was torn between two myths that told of this city. One of them had met after crossing Panama. In it he spoke of a Chibcha chief called Guatavita (El Dorado), who once a year cu-bria his body with gold dust and allowed to drive in a pond covered with gold plates to the center of a volcanic lake large depth (near Bogotá, in modern Colombia). There was thrown into the water with plenty of can-taro, also of the fine and precious metal to swim back to their own effort to shore. This appeared to be a ritual to demonstrate the capability and control force and a ceremo-nial of offerings representing the rebirth of the Sun The other myth is referred to the existence of Paiquinquin Qosqo and Inca King. There was talk about sources of gold on the eastern slopes of the mountains and rivers of the jungle. It was said that the city had hidden the gold statues of each of the sovereigns who ruled the empire, which made her lovely dam. The Paititi
, after many months, came the time when the Inca Capac Shock should be ready to come into contact with Paco Pacuris, those strange scholars residing in the interior of the caves, who lead him to the Pachayachachi (world teacher).
This contact, which raises levels of aware-ness, understanding and vibration community to been awaited for a long time, and meant that the doors would be sealed Paiquinquin outer world indefinitely.
Almost a century later, Jesuit missionaries LLE-Garon almost fainting to the borders of that sanctuary, trying to counteract the harmful action of the colonial authorities with the true Christian message, that nothing seemed to him that is justified oppression. They were allowed -were coming and served with great attention to its recovery. Then, his example and his message, once confronted with the Andean cultural tradition, without contradictions or contempt, was to sink deep into the Inca who reigned at the time, so the sovereign rano accept the Christian faith for him and community, while cultivating their ancestral traditions continue.
Catholic clerics marched back to the viceroyalty, but not before committing to remain silent about the Community of Sanctuary and its location. However, for indiscretions in the convent, came to the attention of the authorities the existence of a mysterious place where they stayed the descendants of the Incas, with no greater authority than themselves. Te-merous of a repetition of the phenomenon of insurrection-tion of Vilcabamba, an expedition was prepared for submission and the Jesuits were forced to be their guides. But the issue never reached its destination. Willfully or through neglect, the missionaries never could find the shrine. On the journey many of the climbers died of dysentery, others drowned in rivers and swamps or in-insect stings and bites from snakes and other animals. Some more, lost, lost and died because of hunger.
Just as there were attempts to recapture and resistance the European spiritual movements also emerged and philosophical beliefs and sought to recover the original order of the Sons of the Sun disappeared due to eliminating the ruling class. One of these movements was the tachy Oncoy (trance through song and dance). This was a real effort to unify the beliefs by the figure of the god Apu Punshao (Spirit of the heart or soul). This movement, which was maintained for a long time, rejected both the Christian rite and European customs and vices of the Viceroy-born. Began in 1567 led by Juan Chocne, who only appeared for the ceremony held in secret. The ritual consisted of painting red body, then marching to the huaca (shrine, temple or pyramid), it meant that the race should remain pure red against the invaders. Dragged on for hours singing and dancing for all attendees, seeking to achieve a state of trance in which flowed the fasts of purification. Juan Chocne affirm same-Maba maintain contact with an entity that is dis-placed by the bright sky on a flying basket. The tachy Oncoy
extended to come into contact with the Incas of Vilcabamba, the jungle border of the empire, and spiritually and materially involved many people. Tupac Amaru I was one who, living with English, participated secretion directly in a company called "The amaru" to survive the messianic movements came to be linked later with the community and Paititi Q'eros.
The Paititi would remain a myth to await the time when the constellation of Miquiquiray mark the final opening to guide humanity into a golden age and spirituality. Its doors would be open for those who, from outside, were ready to make good use of the know-how for so long ensconced in the Community of Sanctuary.
