Tiwanaku Political Economy

  • Chapter
Andean Archaeology I

Abstract

The site of Tiwanaku was one of the earliest monuments in the Andes to capture the attention of the early chroniclers. These historians were keenly aware of how important the ruins at Tiwanaku were in the life of the people of the central Andes. It is therefore understandable that many of their accounts of Andean origin narratives at Tiwanaku were often recast with Christian symbolism.

When [Viracocha] emerged from the lake he went from there to a place near the lake where today there is a town called Tiahuanaco... When he and his people arrived there, they say that he suddenly made the sun and the day and ordered the sun to follow the course that it follows. Then, they say, he made the stars and the moon. (Juan de Betanzos 1996: 7)
