Description
-
This chapter is dedicated to discussing the Inca and his life. This image depicts the Inca’s palace and his many houses. The house on the left side of the image is labeled as cuyus mango [guard house]. There is a man sitting by the door keeping watch. There are words written in the doorway above his head which reads cumo punco camayoc [humpbacked door official]. The house beside cuyus mango is labeled as carpa uaci [house with awning]. To the right of carpa uaci there is a structure with many doors labeled as churacona uaci [storehouses]. There is a unique structure below the churacona uaci which appears to have a hollowed center for a courtyard labeled as quenco uaci [curved house]. The house in the bottom right corner of the image is labeled as suntor uaci [circular house]. The caption at the very bottom of the image reads casas del ynga [houses of the Inca].
