luis

The “Chincana Chica” is about 150 meters northeast of the famous slide of Sacsayhuaman, is narrow, low, and of course small. The “Chincana Grande”, is located about two hundred meters away from the “Chincana Chica” and is not accessible, since it is closed. There are several myths about this known to the locals; some say it has underground tunnels connecting Sacsayhuaman, the Cathedral of Cusco, and even the Temple of Santo Domingo – Qorikancha.
The story goes that one day many years ago, by the calculations would be the beginning of this century; it said that two daring students – in some versions of two young men speaking Spanish – are other Americans, decided to break the mystery of Sacsayhuaman and ventured to enter the galleries of the “Chincana Grande”.

The Quipus [English]

luis

The quipu (Quechua: khipu, ‘knot’) was a mnemonic system using wool or cotton ropes and knots of one or more colors developed in the Andes. Although it is known that it was used as an accounting system by officials of the Inca Empire, could have been used as a form of writing, a hypothesis that says the engineer William Burns Glynn.

Were used by the quipu kamayoc (khipu kamayuq), sages of the Inca empire.
The quipus formed a mnemonic system by which record the necessary information. It could be news census, amounts of products and keeps stored in state warehouses.
Quipus instruments are still used as mnemonics in the Indian villages where they serve to register the products of crops and animal communities.
The Inca emperor, had 30 people in big cities take charge of the accounts, then bring them to the emperor’s messengers who had specialized staff in the interpretation of the quipu.
It is believed that the position of the knots in the cord could be interpreted as a decimal system of mathematics. For example, counting from the tip, find the knot is equivalent to 10,000, then 1,000, 100, and ultimately drives.
