The Sacred Valley of the Incas: Myths and Symbols
Product and Description of this
Sacred Valley of the Incas Book
Published 2004
Fernando and Edgar Elorrieta Salazar introduce the world to a new and profound view of Andean myths that they have decoded and converted into history and reality by studying semiotics, aesthetics, and archaeoastronomy.
Cultural myths function as a way of conceptualizing and organizing something a group holds in common. Its connotation is ideological and serves to cause one to believe that this “something,” whether it be shared values, attitudes, or beliefs, is natural, normal, of common sense, and may even be valid. The Andean myths contain sacred history and material testimony that reflect current events. – Publisher
