The Cuzco Incaico Foundation Trough the Colonial Cronicle: an Estudy from Juan de Betanzos (1551) and Juan de Santa Cruz Pachacuti (1613)
Main Article Content
Abstract
This work has the main purpose of studying the foundational myths of the Inca Cusco in the colonial documentation from the XVI and XVII centuries. The works by Juan de Betanzos (1551) and Juan de Santa Cruz Pachacuti (1613) will be the main sources. With the purpose of tackling the alleged oral stories, they had access to, which are framed in the Andean memoirs, the concepts of memory and cultural memory. Furthermore, a high relevance will be given to main actors in the foundation of Cusco: Manco Cápac, Mama Huaco, the Ayar brothers and the Viracocha and Tonapa divinities.
