Cusco April 15th

Cusco April 15th

Recovery day and tour of the Sacred valley on horse back. There is a lot of interesting symbolism used by the inka and pre-inka cultures. For example there worship of the sun the moon the three degrees on the the southern cross and symbolizing the three tiers of Inca life. The lower world - snake, this world - puma and the higher world - condor. As well the numbers 12 and 24 continually are represented. If you look at the pre inka hirogliffs there is a definite similarities to Egyptians gliffs as well as the the construction of the buildings.

hmmm..pyramids, hieroglyphs, and symbolism. You got to show me the pictures when you come back. I remember having a really deep conversation about this with Chris Parry ( yeah...I know.take it with a grain of salt but still ...there's just too much coincidence)
