Delving into ancient civilizations, myths, and astroarchaeology. Currently focused on Peru and the USA Four Corners. Photos and videos are mine unless stated.
@EDICIONESREGION Omg that photo has been totally manipulated and distorted! Why use photos that misrepresent the site, when the actual site is amazing as is?
The images show Inca masonry beneath the full moon and the living Mayu. They reflect how the builders saw stone, water, and sky as one coherent sacred order.
#IñaqUyu#IslaDeLaLuna#Mayu#AndeanCosmology
On Isla de la Luna in Lake Titicaca stand the ruins of Iñaq Uyu, a major Inca acllahuasi tied to the chosen women and lunar cult. Tradition links the island to Viracocha commanding the moon to rise and to the origin myths of the sun, moon, and first Incas from the sacred lake.
These night photographs were taken under a full moon. Above the stones the Milky Way — the Mayu, or celestial river — still flows. Its dark cloud constellations, including the llama, serpent, and toad, marked agricultural time and mirrored the waters of Titicaca below.
See Sacsayhuamán like never before!
Sacsayhuamán was in ruins for four centuries following the Spanish conquest in 1530.
Until 1933/34, when excavations and restoration efforts began in celebration of the 400th anniversary of the Spanish conquest of Cusco.
