| description |
This paper analyzes the use of a particularly striking structure found in the Southeast sector within the great plaza of El Shincal, as a solar marker to establish important dates in the Inca calendar. So far, different hypotheses have been put forward about the meaning and uses of this structure that we call Segmented Wall, but none of them establish an astronomical relationship. It is proposed that this wall was used by the Incas, in a similar way to that reflected in the narrative of the chronicle of Huarochiri by Francisco de Ávila, where the observation of the shadow of a wall established the date for the worship of Pariacaca. But in this case the observation of the shadow of the wall could associate it with the anti-zenith steps of the sun and dates related to seeding and harvesting. Furthermore, the existence of drumsticks on the west side of the wall, could be a sign of their relationship with the ceremonies that took place on Cerro Occidental and the observation of the sun at sunset on certain dates. |

En este trabajo se analiza el uso de una estructura particularmente llamativa que se encuentra en el sector Sureste, dentro del gran plaza de El Shincal, como marcador solar para establecer fechas importantes en el calendario Inca. Hasta el momento se han planteado distintas hipótesis sobre el significado y usos de esta estructura que llamamos Muro Segmentado, pero ninguna establece relaciones astronómicas. Se plantea que este muro era utilizado por los incas, de manera similar a lo reflejado en el relato de la crónica de Huarochiri de Francisco de Ávila, donde la observación de la sombra de un muro establecía la fecha para la adoración de Pariacaca. Pero en este caso la observación de las sombras del muro se podría asociar a los pasos anticenitales del sol y a las fechas relacionadas con la siembra y a la cosecha, en el Cusco. Por otro lado, la existencia de baquetas adosadas en el lado oeste del muro, podría dar pistas de su relación con las ceremonias que se realizaban en el Cerro Occidental y la observación del sol a la puesta, en fechas determinadas. Este artigo analisa o uso de uma estrutura particularmente marcante encontrada no setor sudeste na grande praça de El Shincal, como um marcador solar para estabelecer datas importantes no calendário inca. Até agora, diferentes hipóteses foram propostas sobre o significado e usos dessa estrutura que chamamos Parede Segmentada, mas nenhuma estabelece relações astronômicas. Sugere-se que este muro tenha sido utilizado pelos incas, de forma semelhante ao que se reflete no relato da crônica de Huarochiri de Francisco de Ávila, onde a observação da sombra de um muro estabeleceu a data para o culto de Pariacaca. Mas, neste caso, a observação das sombras da parede poderia estar associada aos passos antizênites do sol e às datas relacionadas ao plantio e colheita em Cusco. Por outro lado, a existência de varetas presas ao lado poente da muralha poderia dar indícios da sua relação com as cerimônias que se realizavam na Colina Ocidental e a observação do sol ao pôr-do-sol, em determinadas datas.
