Construções da cidade (não) tão perdida dos Incas, parte 2: Dentro.

Agora que estamos dentro da cidade, a primeira que coisa nos chama atenção seria o Torreón (1° img.). Sendo a única estrutura semicircular em toda cidade de machu picchu e estando no ponto mais alto da cidade, seu uso restrito apenas dos sacerdotes e o próprio Inca e era usado para cultuar o deus do sol, Inti e sua parte central, a torre, era o lugar onde observações astronômicas eram conduzidas. Era também lugar de sacrifícios de animais e cerimônias. Abaixo desta torre ficava a "tumba" (aberta) real (2° img.), onde eram depositados os corpos da elite do Império, pessoas das esferas mais altas da aristocracia, dos sumo sacerdotes, bem como da família real.

Um pouco a frente, estavam as fontes das águas, onde eram realizadas cerimônias de purificação; servindo também para prevenção de alagamentos. Mesmo após a morte da cidade, elas continuam funcionando, levando água para toda extensão da cidade fantasmagórica.

Seguindo mais um pouco, há o "templo del cóndor", recebendo este nome devido à sua impressionante "escultura" de um condor(1° img.), símbolo de poder e fertilidade. Este local era utilizado para o desempenho de rituais e cerimônias religiosas, onde os sacerdotes realizavam oferendas e sacrifícios para apaziguar os deuses e garantir a fertilidade e prosperidade da comunidade.

Templo de las 3 ventanas, a leste da praça principal, é conhecido pelas três janelas (ventanas) que adornam um terreno retangular e encontra-se localizado em Hanan (bairro alto; religiosamente imporante). Este espaço abriga as edificações religiosas mais relevantes da cidade, ficado lado a lado do Templo Principal, de frente para a montanha Putucusi. Seu uso é debatido entre os estudiosos, alguns acreditam que adoravam a sua cosmovisão em três mundos: o mundo dos deuses celestial (Hanan pacha), o mundo terrreno (Kay pacha) e o mundo dos mortos (Uku pacha), e representados pelo condor, puma e serpente.

A poucos passos fica o templo principal, composto por três paredes de pedra em forma de ‘U’. Os vestígios apresentam uma pedra em alto relevo, que provavelmente apresentava figura ou decorações em madeira, ouro ou prata. Estima-se que fosse um templo dedicado a rituais ao deus encarregado de criar todo o universo, Wiracocha. Junto ao templo, uma pequena escultura de pedra representava a constelação da Cruz del sul(2° img.), e com sua silhueta projetada no Solstício de Inverno uma sombra que toma a forma de uma cabeça de lhama bebendo.

Por fim, temos não uma construção, mas um lugar que simbolizava um ponto de encontro litúrgico para as pessoas. A Plaza sagrada, localizada em Hanan, dava acesso a 2 caminhos opostos localizados também no setor sagrado, que levavam até 2 importantes localidades, intihuatana (relógio de sol) e o templo principal. É possível ver, também, os vestígios do templo de las 3 ventanas.

Hemiciclo Wiracocha

[demonstars]

Because one (1) person asked This is me info dumping.

the inca mythology is so deeply fascinating to me because of how much the organization depends on the notion of how horizontal and vertical lines in hte universe converge. Everything exists in matching sets of four or six, with the main points of the world (what organizes the tahuantinsuyo basically) divided into four parts. With this particular division and cosmology comes a deep sense of responsibility for one another that is super present in the forming of relationships (as it tends to happen in civilizations and latam cosmovisions), which is expressed as Reciprocity. all this to say that the incan deities represented key facts and geographical phenomenons from the world and these are too connected in deep and meaningful relationships of reciprocity: the sun and the moon "owe" one another and that's where the cicles of day and night and harvest/planting comes from.

In true deity fashion, all deities are vaguely related, though it is less about family and more about the patrilineal kinship stuff. in a sense, all gods were gods because they were related to wiracocha, who was the god of all things, in the same way all great things are great and big because they were created that way. inti is the sun god born from the sun and wiracocha (queer love #InAWay). He take over the sun's place though the reasons as to why are muddy. He is generally depicted as a man, there is evidence of him using gender neutral hats. he was the Guy to ask favor for, as he rarely disappeared (unlike mama quilla or other mayor gods such as the wind or rain) and he was so very adored, people would show their alliances to him by wearing gold and the sapa inca was crowned because it was believed he was related to him by blood.

mama quilla is, on the other hand, was the god of the moon and motherhood, wife of inti and was meant to represent the menstrual cicle and the importance of the water cicle in the planting season. her heavy symbology caused her image to be conflated with the idea of mother maria. in contrast to the inca's gold, she wears and is attributed the creation of silver, and she was dedicated to the protection of women. she was followed by her own sequit of women, the Coyllur (stars). a cute little fact that i've always adored is that whenever there was a lunar eclipse it was believed she was in danger and the folks would prepare as if going to actual war for her and threw rocks at the sky in her honor :( she was very loved

and hey whats up with the hats?

in incan society, your "hats" or chucu/hat troncocónico was your ID. your only way of being recognized was by the symbols and use of gold and silver to make them (the % of silver/gold mattered!). inti (fem version) is using a plaque inspired by the warrior hat and the inti symbol, which is repeated on her chest because representations of gods would generally insist on the symbols rather than facial features (again, your face doesn't really matter, your hat does).

Textiles were incredibly important to the reafirmation of identity too! there were pattern specifically created for each scale of society the person wearing participated in, and with the patterns you could tell exactly from where a person was, what role they served, who they were married to, etc. mama quilla's mantle holds her star sequit and used a basic form of rombus that would've been threaded (if accurate) with at least four different colors and patterns. I'm too lazy for that my bad. I think here the four for everything motif is noticeable!

I decided to add the wings behind mama quilla because the colonization did a funny thing with incan deity representation and added things such as feathers to them. historically, incan's used feathers but rarely in the manner colonialist would depict them. I have always thought it was interesting how gough in the poem makes a whole point of the two deities always being there but by different names—which happened a lot after the prosecution of incans and other natives in latam for refusing to join christianity. to this day, mama quilla is still worshiped, but under a much more christian perspective that severs her connection to women's reproductive circle and importance in the social and political sphere. #Thoughts

i was originally gonna do XD/HD talking but then the lines father sun / mother moon took me back and I Needed to draw inti and mamaquilla. Who here cares about incan/andean mythology..........

Wiracocha el dios que camina.

Bebiendo claramente del genero tokusatsu al mas puro estilo de los 70s , este mecha sigue el patron clasico de deidad- robot-ancient alien que duerme desde la antiguedad construyendo a traves de los siglos la leyenda de un dios del rayo, un protector de los incas, un emisario de la venganza.
