INTI RAYMI
- CUSCO
Several reasons
compelled the Inca civilization to make sacrifices and offerings to
their king star the sun. One of them was that the Inca, as well as
Cusqueñan nobility, were considered to be natural children of the Sun.
To him they owed their existence, for which recognition was due with
sacrifices and offerings. On the other hand, if the corn harvest was
good in the last agricultural year, it was necessary to be thankful, and
if the harvest was poor, it was necessary to request that it be
compensated with a better one the following year. Finally, in June (winter
solstice) as the Sun moved away and temperatures dropped, at dawns water
froze, therefore it was necessary to request that the Sun return, that
after twilight it should not continue advancing towards the north.
