  • Viewing an Ancient Peruvian Legend Through the Lens of Onomastics Matthias Urban and Rita Eloranta Leiden University Centre for Linguistics, Leiden, the Netherlands
    NAMES, Vol. 65 No. 3, September, 2017, 154–166 Ñaimlap, the Birds, and the Sea: Viewing an Ancient Peruvian Legend through the Lens of Onomastics Matthias Urban and Rita Eloranta Leiden University Centre for Linguistics, Leiden, The Netherlands Among the most intriguing oral testimonies of the late pre-Hispanic cultures of the Peruvian North Coast are the legends of origin that the Spanish were still able to record. In this article, we explore the names of the (mythological) first rulers and their associates which figure in one particularly famous North- Coast legend, that of Ñaimlap, the mythological founder of Lambayeque. We show that the name of Ñaimlap, as well as those of his courtiers and successors, can be attributed to the Mochica language. We also provide, to the extent possible, etymologies. Two names of the Ñaimlap dynasty, those of the dynastic founder Ñaimlap himself and his grandson Escuñain, reveal avian associations, while that of one of his officers, Ñina Cala, shows maritime connections. Both aspects match the structure of the Ñaimlap myth, in which the ruler arrives from a foreign land via a sea route. KEYWORDS anthroponyms, ancient Peru, Peruvian North Coast, Mochica language, mythology, etymology, Ñaimlap. The Ñaimlap legend In the second half of the 16th century, the Spanish secular priest Miguel Cabello de Valboa roamed the coast of Northern Peru questioning local Indians about their accounts of their origins. He compiled his findings in his Miscelánea Antártica (Cabello Valboa [1586] 2011), which provides an elaboration of a common concern among Christians at that time: how did the Amerindians reach the Americas, and how did they lose touch with their true origin as creations of the biblical God? In this context, it is no surprise that Cabello Valboa was interested in what the Indians themselves had to say about their origins.

  • 1-1 CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background of Study the Capital
    CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background of Study The capital, Lima, which accommodates a population of over 7 million, about 30% of the national total in the area of coastal dry land, has always grappled with the problem of primary water supply to meet domestic and industrial demand. The Government of Peru therefore made a request to the Government of Japan for technical assistance to study an integrated water resources development of the Cañete river basin by paying due consideration to the conveyance of water from the basin to the capital Lima. The Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) and the Potable Water and Sewerage Service of Lima (SEDAPAL) agreed on the Scope of Work for the Study on the Integrated Water Resources Development in the Cañete River Basin in the Republic of Peru on November 22nd, 1996. The scope of work for the Study on the Integrated Water Resources Development in The Cañete River Basin in The Republic of Peru (the Study) has been agreed upon between the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) and the Potable Water and Sewerage Service of Lima (SEDAPAL) in November 22nd, 1996, with objectives; (1) to formulate an integrated master plan for the development of water resource in the Cañete River Basin in the Republic of Peru up to the year 2020 (PHASE I), (2) to conduct a feasibility study of priority project(s) to be identified and agreed upon by the two sides based on the master plan up to year 2003 (PHASE II), and (3) to transfer technology to the counterpart personnel in the course of the Study.

Ferrocarriles en el Perú: ¿Qué tan importantes fueron? Luis Felipe Zegarra* Abstract This paper analyzes the evolution and main features of the railway system of Peru in the 19th and early 20th centuries. From mid-19th century railroads were considered a promise for achieving progress. Several railroads were then built in Peru, especially in 1850-75 and in 1910-30. With the construction of railroads, Peruvians saved time in travelling and carrying freight. The faster service of railroads did not necessarily come at the cost of higher passenger fares and freight rates. Fares and rates were lower for railroads than for mules, especially for long distances. However, for some routes (especially for short distances with many curves), the traditional system of llamas remained as the lowest pecuniary cost (but also slowest) mode of transportation. Key words: Transportation, railroads, Peru, Latin America. JEL classification: N70, N76, R40. * Luis Felipe Zegarra is PhD in Economics of University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA).

The impressive Inca citadel is placed on the side of a mountain. Its Quechua name means “Old Mountain”, but it is also known as “the Lost City of the Incas” since it remained hidden from the West until dis- covered by Hiram Bingham in 1911. It was built in the fifteenth century, and is attributed to the Inca Pachacutec. The archeological complex is divided into two zones that are contained within approximately twenty hectares. On the sides of the mountain, you can see up to four meters high agricultural terraces. Several plazas and build- ings, the most important being the Temple of the Sun, the Intihuatana or solar clock and calendar, the Temple of the Three Windows, the Main Tem- ple and the Condor Sector, make up the urban sector.
