The Temple of the Sun Review

In ancient Egyptian architecture, there is no more impressive than the pyramids. Temple architecture is an important carrier of Egyptian civilization, reflecting the development level of ancient Egyptian social civilization, condensing the wisdom of ancient Egyptians, and containing the multi-layer connotations of ancient Egyptians' religious beliefs, national aesthetics, cultural symbols and so on. Most temples in Egypt were built to worship the sun god.

The temple of the sun is the most important temple in Machu Picchu. It is very grand in scale and can still feel the solemnity of the temple. People are in it, as if they can imagine how grand the sacrifice here was.

The Sun Temple is one of Cusco's most important attractions. It was the capital in the ancient Inca country, so you can think of the importance of the Sun Temple and the scale of the Honglin. The Sun Temple is so far well preserved and gives modern people too much thought.

As soon as you arrive in Cusco, you will visit the Sun Temple (QORIKANCHA), the ticket is 15 pesos (1 peso = 2RMB), which is a must-see attraction for group tours. There are many tourists in the Sun Temple, and the tour guide waved the small flag, but it was very quiet. Tourists used headphones to listen to the explanation. In the Inca era, Cusco was the capital of the Inca Empire and was considered the center of the world, and the temple of the sun was supreme. In the agricultural era, people prayed that the sun god would never disappear. There are also stone relics in Machu Picchu that are meant to hold the sun. So far, every June on the winter solstice in South America, a grand ritual of worship is held. Cusco's temple is now a site, with only some of the ruins of the exterior walls. The stone walls we see are made of irregular but large smooth flat boulders like blocks, with the stone bumps tightly occluded, without a single crack, showing the design, wisdom and skill of the craftsmen of the Inca era. Historically, the Inca-era sun shrine, boulder buildings, outer gold plaques wrapped in the moon, stars, rainbows and thunder gods, in addition to the worship of the sun god, are known as the Golden Temple or Golden Garden. The Spanish colonists invaded, the gold foil was looted, and the temple was transformed into a monastery. Now it can see some replicas of the old furnishings, many religious paintings, sculptures, artifacts, etc. The garden outside the temple is full of mystery, which makes people admire and admire the Inca culture.

The main altar of the temple sits west to east. The wooden temple is high and easy to air circulation. The outside is covered with thatch because the Inca people do not make tiles. The walls of the temple are covered with gold foil from top to bottom (in the Inca legend, the inner walls of the temple are all thick with finger-thick gold foils Covered, so also called the Golden House, the insider is gold colored by the reflection of gold). The gods in the temple are like a round face, and they are integrated with their light and flame. The statue is huge, occupying a whole interior wall in the temple, and there is no other idol for the Inca, except the sun. On both sides of the sun god are the remains of the late Inca king, they are called the son of the sun, and they have been laid in successive generations. The remains have been treated with anticorrosion, like living people. The remains are sitting on the golden royal chair, facing their subjects. Only Vaina Kapak, who was unique in his youth, showed the talent and virtue of the emperor, and was worthy of worship as a god, so that as the 'son of the sun's favorite', the position was superior to others, and the body was placed in front of the statue of the sun.

It is a very nice place and worth going

The Sun Temple is on the edge of the Ouxingtai Town in the Holy Valley. You need tickets to enter. 70 Saul can visit four attractions. It is worth visiting from Cusco all the way. The Sun Temple is a particularly magical mountain, a bit like a terrace. Climb up, the mountain wind is particularly strong, and it is cold. I must listen to the tour guide. I watched the sun be quite big. The tour guide asked me to bring a coat. I didn’t bring it. I went to the mountain to die cold. Haha.

Machu Picchu. Life travel destination.
