The Sacred Landscape of the Inca
The Cusco Ceque System

ISBN-13: 978-0-292-72901-8, ISBN: 0-292-72901-4

"The ceque system of Cusco, the ancient capital of the Inca empire, was perhaps the most complex indigenous ritual system in the pre-Columbian Americas. From a center known as the Coricancha (Golden Enclosure) or the Temple of the Sun, a system of 328 huacas (shrines) arranged along 42 ceques (lines) radiated out toward the mountains surrounding the city. This elaborate network, maintained by ayllus (kin groups) that made offerings to th ..."

ISBN-13: 978-0-292-70279-0, ISBN: 0-292-70279-5

"The Cuzco Valley of Peru was both the sacred and the political center of the largest state in the prehistoric Americas-the Inca Empire. From the city of Cuzco, the Incas ruled at least eight million people in a realm that stretched from modern-day Colombia to Chile. Yet, despite its great importance in the cultural development of the Americas, the Cuzco Valley has only recently received the same kind of systematic archaeological survey ..."






Ritual and Pilgrimage in the Ancient Andes(1st Edition)
The Islands of the Sun and the Moon

Paperback, 336 Pages, Published 2001 by University Of Texas Press
ISBN-13: 978-0-292-70890-7, ISBN: 0-292-70890-4

"The Islands of the Sun and the Moon in Bolivia's Lake Titicaca were two of the most sacred locations in the Inca empire. A pan-Andean belief held that they marked the origin place of the Sun and the Moon, and pilgrims from across the Inca realm made ritual journeys to the sacred shrines there. In this book, Brian Bauer and Charles Stanish explore the extent to which this use of the islands as a pilgrimage center during Inca times was fo ..."

The Development of the Inca State(1st Edition)
by Brian S. Bauer, Gary Urton, Urton Gary
Paperback, 203 Pages, Published 1996 by University Of Texas Press
ISBN-13: 978-0-292-70848-8, ISBN: 0-292-70848-3

"The Inca empire was the largest state in the Americas at the time of the Spanish invasion in 1532. From its political center in the Cuzco Valley, it controlled much of the area included in the modern nations of Ecuador, Peru, Chile, and Bolivia. But how the Inca state became a major pan-Andean power is less certain. In this innovative work, Brian S. Bauer challenges traditional views of Inca state development and offers a new interpreta ..."

ISBN-13: 978-1-931745-59-8, ISBN: 1-931745-59-5

"In AD 1438 a battle took place outside the city of Cuzco that changed the course of South American history.

Conquering a host of smaller polities, their army had advanced well inside the territory of their traditional rival, the Inca. In a series of unusual maneuvers, the Inca defeated the invading Chanka forces and became the ..."

"Only a few decades after the Spanish conquest of Peru, the third Bishop of Cuzco, Sebastian de Lartaun, called for a report on the religious practices of the Incas. The report was prepared by Cristobal de Molina, a priest of the Hospital for the Natives of Our Lady of Succor in Cuzco and Preacher General of the city.

(Joe R. and Teresa Lozana Long Series in Latin American and Latino Art and Culture (Paperback))

ISBN-13: 978-0-292-71485-4, ISBN: 0-292-71485-8

"The History of the Incas may be the best description of Inca life and mythology to survive Spanish colonization of Peru. Pedro Sarmiento de Gamboa, a well-educated sea captain and cosmographer of the viceroyalty, wrote the document in Cuzco, the capital of the Inca Empire, just forty years after the arrival of the first Spaniards. The royal sponsorship of the work guaranteed Sarmiento direct access to the highest Spanish officials in Cu ..."

ISBN-13: 978-1-931745-35-2, ISBN: 1-931745-35-8

"Although the Cuzco Valley of Peru is renowned for being the heartland of the Incas, little is known concerning its pre-Inca inhabitants. Until recently it was widely believed that the first inhabitants of the Cuzco Valley were farmers who lived in scattered villages along the valley floor (ca. 1000 BC) and that there were no Archaic Period remains in the region. This perspective was challenged during a systematic survey of the valley, w ..."

Vilcabamba and the Archaeology of Inca Resistance
(Monograph (81))

ISBN-13: 978-1-938770-03-6, ISBN: 1-938770-03-X

"The sites of Vitcos and Espiritu Pampa are two of the most important Inca cities within the remote Vilcabamba region of Peru. The province has gained notoriety among historians, archaeologists, and other students of the Inca, since it was from here that the last independent Incas waged a nearly forty-year-long war (AD 1536-1572) against Spanish control of the Andes. Building on three years of excavation and two years of archival work, ..."

"47. This last sentence was added after the chapter was completed. Presumably it was written by Murúa once he had finished chapter 93, which discusses the decedents of Sayri Tupac. 48. Most of this chapter is based directly on information provided by Juana Guerrero in the town of Socospata in 1595 (see document 5, this volume). At that time, she was being interviewed concerning the death Diego Ortiz. Said to be in her fifties, Juana ..."
