... today we are broadcasting from the splendid Citadel of Pachamanac.
The Sanctuary of God Pachacamac.
With
the arrival of the Incas (around 1450 AD) at the central coastal area
of Peru and the occupation of the ceremonial center of Pachacamac a
great religious cult had developed. It was so powerful that
the Incas feared to tamper with it and allowed "Pachacamac" to co-exist
along their own sun god Inti. The Incas modified the already existing
structures, temples and other building to their needs. They built
remarkable new pyramids and temples, among them the "Templo del Sol"
(the Temple of the Sun) and the Acllahuasi ("House of the chosen
woman"), also known as "Mamacona". |
