Supporting Question 1 Featured Source Source A: Mark Pitts, book exploring Maya writing, Book 1: Writing in Maya Glyphs: Names, Places & Simple Sentences—A Non-Technical Introduction to Maya Glyphs (excerpt), 2008 THE BASICS OF ANCIENT MAYA WRITING Maya writing is composed of various signs and symbol. These signs and symbols are often called ‘hieroglyphs,’ or more simply ‘glyphs.’ To most of us, these glyphs look like pictures, but it is often hard to say what they are pictures of…. Unlike European languages, like English and Spanish, the ancient Maya writing did not use letters to spell words. Instead, they used a combination of glyphs that stood either for syllables, or for whole words. We will call the glyphs that stood for syllables ‘syllable glyphs,’ and we’ll call the glyphs that stood for whole words ‘logos.’ (The technically correct terms are ‘syllabogram’ and ‘logogram.’) It may seem complicated to use a combination of sounds and signs to make words, but we do the very same thing all the time. For example, you have seen this sign: ©iStock/©jswinborne Everyone knows that this sign means “one way to the right.” The “one way” part is spelled out in letters, as usual. But the “to the right” part is given only by the arrow pointing to the right.

Ranging from the earliest cities in the Americas to Inca metropolises, millennia of urban human history along the Andes have left large and striking sites scattered across the country. But cities and monuments do not exist in solitude. Peru’s ancient sites are connected by a vast circulatory system of roads that connected every corner of the country, and thousands of square miles beyond its current borders. The Inca road system, or Qhapaq Ñan, is particularly famous; thousands of miles of trails linked the empire from modern- day Colombia to central Chile, crossing some of the world’s tallest mountain ranges and driest deserts. The Inca state recognized the importance of its road system, and dotted the trails with rest stops, granaries, and religious shrines. Inca roads even served directly religious purposes in pilgrimages and a system of ritual pathways that divided the empire (Ogburn 2010). This project contributes to scholarly knowledge about the Inca and Pre-Hispanic Andean civilizations by studying the roads which stitched together the Inca state.

  • La Cosmología En El Dibujo Del Altar Del Quri Kancha Según Don Joan
    La cosmología en el dibujo del altar del Quri Kancha según don Joan de Santa Cruz Pachacuti Yamqui Salca Maygua Rita Fink Se suele adscribir al dibujo del altar de Quri Kancha una estructura bipartita (dos campos separados por un eje vertical), la cual refleja la oposición andina de hanan-hurin o alternativamente la simetría de los altares eclesiásticos. El presente trabajo identifica los elementos del dibujo y analiza las parejas que ellos componen, examinando el simbolismo de cada una de ellas y las interrelaciones de sus componentes en varias fuentes de los siglos XVI-XX. El mundo dibujado está organizado según el principio andino de hanan-hurin aplicado en dos dimensiones, la horizontal y la vertical. Dos ejes, hanan y hurin, dividen el espacio en cuatro campos distintos. Los campos inferiores están organizados de manera inversa con respecto al espacio superior. Semejantes estructuras cuatripartitas se encuentran en otras representaciones espacio-temporales andinas. The structure of the drawing of the Quri Kancha altar has been described as dual, reflecting either the Andean hanan-hurin complementarity or the symmetry of Christian church altars. Present study identifies the elements presented in the drawing and analyses the couples which they comprise, demonstrating the symbolism of each couple and the hanan-hurin relations within them, as evident in XVI-XX century sources. The world presented in the drawing of the Quri Kancha altar is organized according to the Andean hanan-hurin principle applied on two-dimensional scale (horizontal and vertical). Two axes - hanan and hurin - divide the space into 4 distinct fields. The lower fields are inverted relative to the hanan space above.

  • The Spanish Unraveling of the Incan Empire: the Importance of Fibers and Textiles of the Past
    University of Wisconsin–Superior McNair Scholars Journal, volume 2, 2001 The Spanish Unraveling Of the Incan Empire: The Importance of Fibers and Textiles of the Past Rhonda R. Dass, Art History William Morgan, M.F.A. Department of Visual Arts ABSTRACT Steeped in ancient traditions, modern day Peru can boast the continuation of cultural heritage dating back before 1000 BC. The coastal desert climate is perfect for the preservation of textiles long buried in the sacred graves of past peoples. From these artifacts we can see how important the textiles of the Incan culture were to its people. Some argue that internal strife was the main factor for the ease with which the Spaniards were able to conquer the advanced civilization of the Incas. Others argue that the empire was already in decline. Perhaps the textile– based economy of the Incan empire was the prime factor. History of the Incan Empire: Geographical and Political The area of South America, which once sustained the mighty Incan empire during the early half of the 10th millennium, is a diverse, breathtaking and often inhospitable land. As the Incans, led by Manco Capac, spread their empire across the South American continent they conquered numerous small tribes scattered throughout an awesome array of nature's wonders. They started their reign in the area surrounding Lake Titicaca, still considered a sacred place by their modern day ancestors, taking control of the local Tiwanaku peoples. From this region nestled in the Andes Mountains they battled their way across mountain ridges that draw a line down the coastal areas of South America.

  • Una Breve Aproximación Al Rol Del Qhapaq Ñan En El Proceso Conducente a La Formación Del Pueblo De Tambo, Sausa, Junín
    UNA BREVE APROXIMACIÓN AL ROL DEL QHAPAQ ÑAN Manuel F. Perales Munguía EN EL PROCESO Proyecto Qhapaq Ñan – Sede Nacional CONDUCENTE A LA Autor FORMACIÓN DEL PUEBLO DE TAMBO, 21 de febrero SAUSA, JUNÍN, PERÚ de 2020 El 24 de febrero de 1965 se creó el distrito de Sausa mediante Ley N° 15437, fijándose su capital en la villa homónima, categoría y denominación que le fueron otorgadas al antiguo pueblo de Tambo a través de la Ley N° 10155 del 30 de diciembre de 1944 (Aranda 2009: 25). No obstante, este último nombre –Tambo– posee una singular connotación histórica, pese a que en la actualidad está cayendo en desuso frente al de Sausa, el cual ha ido ganando terreno a partir de la adquisición del estatus distrital de la localidad.1 Considerando lo expuesto, el presente trabajo desarrolla un conjunto de planteamientos en torno al proceso que condujo a la formación inicial del pueblo de Tambo, que en la actualidad constituye el núcleo urbano del moderno distrito de Sausa, localizado sobre los 3371 msnm y dentro de la jurisdicción de la provincia de Jauja, en el departamento de Junín (figura 01). Dicho proceso tuvo hitos importantes, como el establecimiento del extenso complejo inca de Hatun Xauxa en la segunda mitad del siglo XV y la fundación de la ciudad hispana de Xauxa por par de Francisco Pizarro entre 1533 y 1534, consolidándose durante las décadas de 1560 y 1570, cuando alcanzó funcionamiento pleno el tambo colonial del mismo nombre.

  • Clio Ch 1 Accuosti.Pdf
    Accuosti, Pizarro Family The Pizarro Family and the Conquest of Peru Francine Accuosti Known for his conquest of the Incan Empire in Peru, Francisco Pizarro (d. 15 4 1) most likely had no idea what was waiting for him when he started out on his expedition in December of 15 30. Little did he know that what was happening in the Incan Empire was in his favor. Setting out on his adventure, he probably thought he was in for fame and fortune, great wealth, and power, as Hernán Cortés (14 8 5 -15 4 7 ) did almost a decade earlier. Because of many failed attempts at an expedition, Pizarro finally, with the help of his friend Diego de Almagro (14 7 5 -15 38 ), was able to gain the funds for a quest into Peru. Because of the previous failures, he knew he had to deliver on profit to make his expedition successful, and to receive reinforcements. The huge success of Cortez in Mexico probably put a lot of pressure on Pizarro to succeed. To join them, Pizarro brought along his four brothers and his cousin. This was a strategic move on his part. This would mean that instead of any profits and titles being shared two ways, it would be split between all seven giving the Pizarro family 86 percent of the rewards. Much of Pizzaro’s first profits accompanied his brother Hernando back to Spain in the summer of 15 33. A lot of the Pizarro wealth was distributed in land purchase in and around the town of Trujillo in Spain where the family was from, and in purchase of royal juros.

  • Catarpe in the Atacama Desert of Chile
    CATARPE IN THE ATACAMA DESERT OF CHILE: The Spirit Site or the Site of the Spirit? Jorge Atria Lannefranque Architect Abstract Among many cultural manifestations developed by the people who inhabited our Pre Hispanic America, we find the Incas who stopped their conqueror step and set their eyes on Catarpe, which is an extended meseta (plateau), at the Chilean north, that overlooks the San Pedro River, in the middle of the Atacama Desert. Attentive to the "site spirit" that detained and met them with its silence and the vastness of its faraway horizons, the Incas built a new settlement that turned out to be both useful and functional at their founding purposes, but also enabled them to give sacred character to the territory full of meanings by means of an architecture that collects and integrates in a whole the space, the matter, the landscape and a particular understanding of the universe that characterized these people worshippers of the sun. Even today the "site spirit" in Catarpe is still beating, becoming this place in the "site of the spirit", in the place that the memory cannot disappear or move into oblivion. A Path Arises It is almost a matter of fact that first people who inhabited America had not in fact their origin in that new world which they attained to reach through the Bering isthmus, towards the end of the Wisconsin period, just before the thaw would have actually increased the oceans level, interrupting the weak track that led by that time, the passing from the north southwards of the world.
