| contents | THE HAND OF GOD IN SOCAIRE Ricardo Moyano Física, Astronomía y Matemáticas Archaeoastronomy We present preliminary results obtained from a spatio-temporal analysis of m ountain worship directions at the Atacama Indian community of Socaire, northern Chile (23 ◦ 35’28”S, 67 ◦ 52’36”W, 3,274 masl). These results can be linked to cultural, geographical, climatic, psychological and as tronomical information from ethno-archaeological data. We propose a “system of offering to mountains” tha t includes concepts such as ceque (straight line), mayllku or mallku (mountain lord or ancestor), and pacha (space and time), which is understood as the projection of a left human hand in the visible horizon (Tumisa, Lausa, C hiliques, Ipira and Mi ̃niques Mountains) (PAH-Triad). This system regulates annual activities such as pla nting (August 1st), harvesting (May 1st), cleansing of irrigation channels (October 24-26th), and the Cathol ic rituals and festivities of Saint Bartholomew (August 24th), Saint Barbara (December 4th), Christmas-Summer so lstice (December 25th), Carnival (between February and March), Holy Cross (May 3rd), and Saint John-W inter solstice (June 24th). More importantly: it gives a basis for Socaire ̃nos’ worldview including ca tegories of “above, here, and down”; “right and left”; “female and male”; “noon and midnight”; “north and south” ; “visible and non-visible”, along with the Andean concepts of center (ushnu); “two, three, four and five division”; and “huma nized landscape”. 2016 artículo científico 0185-1101 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=57150516010 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=571 Revista Mexicana de Astronomía y Astrofísica application/pdf Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México Revista Mexicana de Astronomía y Astrofísica (México) Vol.47 |
