| description |
The Pachacamac sanctuary was home to one of the main deities of pre-Hispanic Peru; its power was expressed in the call to dozens of pilgrims who came to this sacred space to make their supplications. Its strategic location was reaffirmed in the last period of pre-Hispanic occupation, when with the arrival of the Incas and the construction of the Temple of the Sun, in addition to its essential religious functions, this building transformed the coastal marine landscape for economic and political purposes. In the imagination of the 20th and 21st centuries, Pachacamac represents a set of sacred constructions in the coastal desert. With the intention of understanding the relationships that existed between the sanctuary and its surrounding territory, we analyzed the archaeological record, pre-Hispanic representations in various media, colonial chronicles, nautical charts from the 18th and 19th centuries and references from scientific-travelers of the 20th century. XIX, which suggest that the meaning of Pachacamac did not lie solely in the buildings and temples built by pre-Hispanic societies over a thousand years, but that the sanctuary extended over a continuous space, which involved, from its earliest times, aquatic ecosystems, coastal wetlands, the Lurín River and its valley, the coastline and the adjacent islands, as elements and symbols of its prestige and sacredness as an expression of our Andean cultural identity. |

En el santuario de Pachacamac residía una de las principales deidades del Perú prehispánico; su poder se expresaba en la convocatoria a decenas de peregrinos que llegaron a este espacio sagrado a gestionar sus súplicas. Su emplazamiento estratégico se reafirmó en el último periodo de ocupación prehispánica, cuando con la llegada de los Incas y la construcción del Templo el Sol, además de sus esenciales funciones religiosas, este edificio transformó el paisaje litoral marino con fines económicos y políticos. En el imaginario de los s. XX y XXI, Pachacamac representa un conjunto de construcciones sacralizadas en el desierto costero. Con la intención de comprender las relaciones que existieron entre el santuario y su territorio circundante, analizamos el registro arqueológico, representaciones prehispánicas en diversos soportes, crónicas coloniales, cartas náuticas de los s. XVIII y XIX y referencias de científicos-viajeros del s. XIX, que nos sugieren que el significado de Pachacamac no radicó únicamente en los edificios y templos construidos por las sociedades prehispánicas a lo largo de mil años, sino que el santuario se extendió en un espacio continuo, que involucró, desde sus primeros tiempos, ecosistemas acuáticos, humedales costeros, el río Lurín y su valle, la línea litoral y las islas adyacentes, como elementos y símbolos de su prestigio y sacralidad como expresión de nuestra identidad cultural andina. No santuário de Pachacamac residia uma das principais divindades do Peru pré-hispânico; O seu poder expressava-se no chamamento de dezenas de peregrinos que vinham a este espaço sagrado administrar as suas súplicas. A sua localização estratégica foi reafirmada no último período de ocupação pré-hispânica, quando com a chegada dos Incas e a construção do Templo do Sol, para além das suas funções religiosas essenciais, esta construção transformou a paisagem marinha costeira com fins económicos e políticos. No imaginário do séc. XX e XXI, Pachacamac representa um conjunto de construções sagradas no deserto costeiro. Para compreender as relações existentes entre o santuário e o território que o rodeia, analisámos o registo arqueológico, as representações pré-hispânicas em diversos meios, as crónicas coloniais, as cartas náuticas dos séculos XVI e XVII. Séculos XVIII e XIX e referências de cientistas-viajantes do século XIX. XIX, que sugerem que o significado de Pachacamac não residia somente nos edifícios e templos construídos pelas sociedades pré-hispânicas ao longo de mil anos, mas que o santuário se estendia por um espaço contínuo, que envolvia, desde os seus primórdios, os ecossistemas aquáticos, as zonas húmidas costeiras, o Rio Lurín e o seu vale, o litoral e as ilhas adjacentes, como elementos e símbolos do seu prestígio e sacralidade como expressão da nossa identidade cultural andina.
