Picasso was inspired by the Chavin culture?
WALKING IN SIERRA DE PERU alone, without a passport or money itself can be an adventure prohibited. And if you know little or no Spanish may be the worst situation you can get in but this is the link of the walk when things start to disintegrate, the backpackers' start joined.
I had just lost my jacket with my passport, money, credit cards and last bar of chocolate when I met Caroline in the Country Wales who was trying to polish her Spanish when traveling through remote villages. We themes of common interest and decided to go ahead with the plains of Huanuco.
Plains, the width 'of Huanuco' are full of cattle. Leaning against a mud house along the old road, a lady middle-age comes on horseback to deliver milk. The man in the mud house transfers it to a plastic container. "Improvised cooling" he says, as he falls into a stream running alongside. Then he offers fresh yogurt, I drink to run down the last crumbs of bread that I found on the bottom of my backpack.
A across the road, where we sat, are the ruins of what was citidal the Hunuco Pampa, a city built for festivals. It lies on the main Inca highway that connects Cajamarca Cusco. In those days, says the caretaker, the different ethnic groups were incorporated into the Inca empire populated the area, but why is known as the "city of festivals' is still unknown. Maybe it has to do with the abundant produce in the region or the sublime beauty, or perhaps because it has traces of the oldest human occupation in Peru, the people of Lauricocha, dating from 10,000 years ago.
TREKKERS HUARAZ Mecca. Most adventurers who come to this region like me, begin their journey from Huaraz, capital of Ancash and walkers Mecca in Peru. Walking along the main street, I see hikers supplies of vegetables, eggs, canned meat, soup packets, and local pot 'pan' (bread), which fortunately lasts more than four days. Chavin is a three-day hike Huaraz flame or three hours by bus. I chose the later (and lost my jacket in it) to explore the ruins of Chavin de Huantar, the temple that existed around 1000200 BC, a period called the Early Horizon.
Chavin is located in the northeast of the central highlands of Peru, located between the coastal desert - One of the driest deserts in the world - and the humid tropical Amazonian lowlands to the east. The famed Andean prehistoric states, culminating in expansive Inca Empire, located mainly in the coastal and mountain.
What surprised me was the animals and plants typical of lowland in Chavin art. Most observers agree that Chavin de Huantar, would have been natural for animals such as the caiman (alligator), the monkey, and the plants represented in their art. But the river Mosna, which is Chavin, eventually leads to the Amazon where these exist, albeit through a circuitous route.
In terms of site structures, a simple sequence of construction can be postulated. An ancient temple, built in a U shape around a square in a circle. And a new temple on a larger scale lying south and east.
Sandeel. Built underground, its maze of tunnels and air ducts produce a blurred image deep in my mind. I am struck by a stone that is in the center, beautifully carved with human and feline features on a snake. It's called "The pike, and on closer inspection, one can notice in the shape of the eye and a tooth of a jaguar, an orangutan or a tiger. It is more art than me impressive. But I am not alone in reaching this conclusion. Even Pablo Picasso said: "Of all the ancient cultures of Chavin I admire that surprises me most. In fact, has been the inspiration behind most of my art. "
"CHAVÍN" comes from a Quechua word meaning "center of centers "The center of the universe as a magical and sacred. Chavin de Huantar Time was a temple or a fortress in the center of the universe or the weather Inca stone Sandeel sacrifice of power or is not known. An archaeologist said that was a ceremonial center with a twist in its architecture, where drainage water could be pushed through and the roar of the water could be heard through vents and chambers within the center itself. Once done, the center, literally "roared" and You can imagine how shocked the faithful who have been!
Chavin had proven links with a religious group located on the north coast and the highlands of Peru. Recent excavations have clearly shown these links by unearthing Chavin Pottery Puemape around in Cajamarca.
MACHU PICCHU. So many of us who have been to Machu Picchu and many more of us who know the famous Inca citadel, those of us who have walked through the temple of Chavin. Archaeologist John Rick of Stanford University is trying to turn this archaeological site known tourist destination that is of equal importance as Machu Picchu. Rick, who has been digging in over 10 years, believes this is not only feasible but also possible. The future looks promising Chavin de Huantar with support and the World Heritage Fund.
Caroline had decided to study the art of Chavin and stay back in Peru more than planned. But had to turn around and return to Lima to get my new passport and return home. Sitting on the plane was still weighing the significance of Machu Picchu, Chavin de Huantar against. Like Machu Picchu is big, Chavin is mysterious and the more I think, that becomes more impressive. May be one day, we know the secrets of the stone power, but until then, will remain in mist and mystery and inspire us with their art.
