Ohhh so many nice memories came into the screen of my mind. Thank you for this nice images. Here is a bit of info: There are many legends of how the Inka Empire was born, especially the story of Manko Qhapaq and Mama Oqllo, the most popular is the one christians popularised due to the similitude with the story of Adam and Eve of the Bible. Pillcocaina (aymara orthography: Pillkukaina) is not an inka structure, and it dates way back in the past. According to modern archeologist it was most probably a fortress built by the tiawanaku culture. The Chinkana in the north of the island was not a palace, but was a grain storage facility. Most of the remaining ruins are not inka, but from previous cultures. The looting and destruction by the spaniards on the island was so fierce, that almost nothing from the inka period was left to posterity. At the Island of Q'oati, the so called Moon Island, they restored an old inkan residence for ñust'as (priestesses) of the ancient andean cult. It is not a big place but it gives glimplses of how the place was in the past. There is legend, that when the news of the murder of Atauwallpaq (Atahuallpa) spread across the Andes. The Mamakuna, the high priestess in charge of the Sun Island, immediately gathered all the gold and valuable objects of the sacred Island and put them on boats and shipped them to the deepest part of Lake Titikaka and threw all those treasures to the Water. Later when she came back to the Island she used her t'upu ( a traditional needle in the shape of a spoon) and pierced out her eyes so she couldn't see anymore, those who went with her did likewise. When the spanish arrived no one could point out where exactly they threw the treasures into the water, because they all couldn't see anymore......
Thank you again for sharing your knowledge and for explaining the legends. We heard about the history of the arrival of the Incas while there were earlier human settlements on the island (Tiwanaku?). They established the legends to make sense of the occupation. It is amazing how both the legends, the birth of the Incas and the legend of gold treasures connect with the history of occupation of the island. Thanks for clearing a couple of misconceptions, will try to put the details when we add the details to our blog, as we found there is a lack of literature on the specific places on the island and generalized as Incan ruins.
@@ParadiseCatchers You are welcome. Yes, you are right, there is not much information available. There have been serious historians and archeologists who have studied and written about preinca and Inca culture. The problem is that there are many self-declared experts who roam around historical places and spread their theories. Even in the intellectual level it is very sad that most of the experts come from western background, they don't speak our vernaculars nor do they understand andean culture from an andean perspective, but look at it through a western filter... Many times tourist guides or so called experts don't speak quechua or aymara nor do they understand the background of many things , so they make things up, tell a nice story, the tourist is happy with that nice story and those stories are repeated and taken for real after a time .... So my humble approach, whenever possible, is to share my knowledge with those who want to look a bit deeper into the fruit than scratching only the peel
Can’t agree more. I have seen this happening sometimes in India as well sadly. Good thing that these discussions happen. Thank you for sharing your valuable insights.

@@ParadiseCatchers you are welcome... waiting to see your next videos. Have a nice and safe journey.
genetic studies show the Incas where originally from the Tiwanaku region. So they were basically tiwanaku people as one of the many legends said.
bien venidos a mi pais hermanos hindus
