  • Framing Machu Picchu: Science, Photography and the Making of Heritage
    FRAMING MACHU PICCHU: SCIENCE, PHOTOGRAPHY AND THE MAKING OF HERITAGE By AMY ELIZABETH COX A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2010 1 © 2010 Amy Elizabeth Cox 2 To Kirk 3 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Research for this study was made possible by a doctoral dissertation improvement grant from the National Science Foundation’s Science and Society section and from Fulbright’s Institute for International Education. Preliminary research was conducted thanks to the generous funding from the University of Florida’s Center for Latin American Studies. Their encouragement and support through grants like the William E. Carter summer fellowship, Tinker travel grant and foreign language area studies grant, kept me motivated and exploring. My deep gratitude goes to those institutions and their staff. Many, many people have been involved in this research. First, I would like to thank all those individuals who shared their thoughts and ideas through interviews and more informal conversations. In particular, I owe an immense debt of gratitude to the members of COLITUR in Cuzco, Peru. From a professional standpoint, not only did COLITUR allow me to interview study participants in their offices, but I also participated in their new venture which encouraged the Cuzco’s local population to visit their own touristic sites. I spent two days in the pueblo of Lares with a group of “tour guides to be” and attended the Cruz Velacuy, a pilgrimage to various crosses in the town of Cuzco. Encouraging Cuzco’s population to visit the region’s attractions was a noble effort by COLITUR’s director to make tourism more equitable.

  • Buscando a Un Inca: La Cripta De Topa Amaro
    Historia Buscando a un Inca: la cripta de Topa Amaro María del Carmen Martín Rubio Doctora en Historia de América, Universidad Complutense [email protected] RESUMEN Las luchas fraticidas desatadas en el Tahuantinsuyo y la conmoción sufrida por sus gentes, ante la llegada de hombres y animales desconocidos, precipitaron el derrumbe de aquel Estado aparentemente sin resistencia. Pero una vez supera- da la sorpresa, los incas pusieron cerco al Cusco y, tras no poder tomar la ciudad, se refugiaron en las montañas de Vilcabamba, desde donde, tratando de expulsar a los extranjeros, iniciaron una incómoda guerra de guerrillas, duran- te casi cuarenta años, que sucesivamente dirigieron cuatro príncipes cusqueños descendientes del poderoso Huayna Cápac. En este artículo, mediante el estu- dio de nueva documentación, se aborda la figura y la muerte de Topa Amaro, el último gobernante vilcabambino; se analiza la evolución arquitectónica del Qorikancha, el templo en que recibieron sepultura los restos mortales del Inca, y se exponen los trabajos realizados para encontrar su cripta mortuoria. PALABRAS CLAVE: Tahuantinsuyo, Topa Amaro, Vilcabamba, bóveda, cripta funeraria, Inca, coya, ñusta, Cusco, Qorikancha, Templo del Sol, Templo de Santo Domingo. ABSTRACT The fratricidal fightings which took place in Tahuantinsuyo and the disturbance suffered by its people before the arrival of unknown men and animals hastened the falling of that state without any apparent resistance. But once surprise was overcome, Inca people laid siege to Cusco and, as they could not conquer the city, they took refuge in the Vilcabamba mountains, from where they started an uncomfortable guerrilla war trying to expel foreigners during almost forty years.

    FREE LOST CITY OF THE INCAS PDF Hiram Bingham,Hugh Thomson | 320 pages | 28 Oct 2003 | Orion Publishing Co | 9781842125854 | English | London, United Kingdom Vilcabamba, Peru - Wikipedia Lost City of the Incas Urubamba River flows past it, cutting through the Cordillera and creating a canyon with a tropical mountain climate. For most speakers of English or Spanish, the first 'c' in Picchu is silent. Most archaeologists believe that Machu Picchu was constructed as an estate for the Inca emperor Pachacuti — Often mistakenly referred to as the "Lost City of the Incas", it is the most familiar icon of Inca civilization. The Incas built the estate around but abandoned it a century later at the time of the Spanish conquest. Although known locally, it was not known to the Spanish during the colonial period and remained unknown to the outside world until American historian Hiram Bingham brought it to international attention in Machu Picchu was built in the classical Inca style, with polished dry-stone walls. Most of the outlying buildings have been reconstructed in order to give tourists a better idea of Lost City of the Incas they originally appeared. In the Quechua languagemachu means "old" or "old person", while pikchu means either "portion of coca being chewed" or Lost City of the Incas, pointed multi-sided solid; cone". Machu Picchu is believed by Richard L. Burger to be built starting — Though Machu Picchu is considered to be a "royal" estate, Lost City of the Incas, it would not have been passed down in the line of succession. Rather it was used for 80 years before being abandoned, seemingly because of the Spanish Conquests in other parts of the Inca Empire.
