Coricancha: Part 4
In this final video series about the Coricancha, we explore the temple's likely role as an observatory for studying and worshipping the cosmos. Many of the interior doorways, windows, and niches appear to align with solar and lunar events. Other features, such as wall protrusions, are even more perplexing; what were their functions? We wrap up our tour with a discussion of the Inca "ceque" system; this network of 42 invisible lines radiates outwards from Cusco, and was dotted with some 328 huacas, or sacred sites, that were tended by kin groups. The ceque system may have served a political, religious, and/or astronomical purpose; like so many aspects of Peru's pre-Spanish history, they remain a mystery to be solved.
