Original passport — required to enter Machu Picchu. Cuzco/Southern Peru : ITMB Publishing Ltd : Manco Capac and his companion, with the help of the four women, made a house. Having done this, Manco Capac and his companion, with the four women, planted some land with maize. It is said that they took the maize from the cave, which this lord Manco Capac named Pacaritambo , which means those of origin because The Spanish conquistadors adopted the local name, transliterating it into Spanish phonetics as Cuzco or, less often, Cozco. Cuzco was the standard spelling on official documents and chronicles in colonial times, [5] though Cusco was also used. Cuzco , pronounced as in 16th-century Spanish, seems to have been a close approximation to the Cusco Quechua pronunciation of the name at the time. As both Spanish and Quechua pronunciation have evolved since then, the Spanish pronunciation of 'z' is no longer universally close to the Quechua pronunciation. In , the city mayor signed an ordinance banning the traditional spelling and ordering the use of a new one, Cusco , in municipality publications. Nineteen years later, on 23 June , the local authorities formalized a new spelling related more closely to Quechua: Qosqo. There is no international, official spelling of the city's name. In English-language publications both "s" [7] [8] and "z" [9] [10] can be found. The Killke people occupied the region from to CE, prior to the arrival of the Inca in the 13th century. Carbon dating of Saksaywaman , the walled complex outside Cusco, established that Killke constructed the fortress about CE. The Inca later expanded and occupied the complex in the 13th century. In March , archaeologists discovered the ruins of an ancient temple, roadway and aqueduct system at Saksaywaman. Together with the results of excavations in , when another temple was found at the edge of the fortress, this indicates a longtime religious as well as military use of the facility. Cusco was long an important center of indigenous people. It was the capital of the Inca Empire 13th century — Many believe that the city was planned as an effigy in the shape of a puma , a sacred animal. Under the Inca, the city had two sectors: the urin and hanan. A road led from each quarter to the corresponding quarter of the empire. Each local leader was required to build a house in the city and live part of the year in Cusco, restricted to the quarter that corresponded to the quarter in which he held territory. After the rule of Pachacuti , when an Inca died, his title went to one son and his property was given to a corporation controlled by his other relatives split inheritance. Each title holder had to build a new house and add new lands to the empire, in order to own land for his family to keep after his death. According to Inca legend, the city was rebuilt by Sapa Inca Pachacuti , the man who transformed the Kingdom of Cuzco from a sleepy city-state into the vast empire of Tawantinsuyu. The city was constructed according to a definite plan in which two rivers were channeled around the city. Archaeologists have suggested that this city plan was replicated at other sites. It was captured by the generals of Atahualpa in April in the Battle of Quipaipan. Nineteen months later, Spanish explorers invaded the city after kidnapping and murdering Atahualpa see Battle of Cuzco , and gained control because of their arms and horses, employing superior military technology.
