Book excerpt: Excerpt from Aboriginal Myths and Traditions Concerning the Island of Titicaca, Bolivia In a subsequent conversation the wizard stated that Atahuallpa lived on the island and Huascar at Cuzco, and that after the time of the inga-re the lake once dried up so completely that people from Huaicho came over on foot and killed the Chullpa then living on Titicaca. From one or the other Indian we obtained at least partial confirmation of this. All seemed to agree that the sun had made its first appearance on the Sacred Rock, and that the inga-re originated on the island.

Download or read book Indigeneity and Decolonization in the Bolivian Andes written by Anders Burman and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2016-12-15 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Indigeneity and Decolonization in the Bolivian Andes: Ritual Practice and Activism explores how Evo Morales’s victory in the 2005 Bolivian presidential elections led to indigeneity as the core of decolonization politics. Anders Burman analyzes how indigenous Aymara ritual specialists are essential in representing this indigeneity in official state ceremony and in legitimizing the president’s role as “the indigenous president.” This book goes behind the scenes of state-sponsored multiculturalist ritual practices and explores the political, spiritual and existential dimensions underpinning them.

We then explore the results of a century of scientific research that provide an even more fabulous tale than the legends and myths combined.

It is likewise an excellent introduction for the interested reader who yearns to know more about this fascinating place.

Download or read book The Inka Empire written by Izumi Shimada and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2015-06-01 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Massive yet elegantly executed masonry architecture and andenes (agricultural terraces) set against majestic and seemingly boundless Andean landscapes, roads built in defiance of rugged terrains, and fine textiles with orderly geometric designs—all were created within the largest political system in the ancient New World, a system headed, paradoxically, by a single, small minority group without wheeled vehicles, markets, or a writing system, the Inka. For some 130 years (ca. A.D. 1400 to 1533), the Inka ruled over at least eighty-six ethnic groups in an empire that encompassed about 2 million square kilometers, from the northernmost region of the Ecuador–Colombia border to northwest Argentina. The Inka Empire brings together leading international scholars from many complementary disciplines, including human genetics, linguistics, textile and architectural studies, ethnohistory, and archaeology, to present a state-of-the-art, holistic, and in-depth vision of the Inkas. The contributors provide the latest data and understandings of the political, demographic, and linguistic evolution of the Inkas, from the formative era prior to their political ascendancy to their post-conquest transformation. The scholars also offer an updated vision of the unity, diversity, and essence of the material, organizational, and symbolic-ideological features of the Inka Empire. As a whole, The Inka Empire demonstrates the necessity and value of a multidisciplinary approach that incorporates the insights of fields beyond archaeology and ethnohistory. And with essays by scholars from seven countries, it reflects the cosmopolitanism that has characterized Inka studies ever since its beginnings in the nineteenth century.
