Inca Symbols

The inca culture had hundreds of inca symbols, most of them were created for war, religion and astrology; Symbols with the shape of snakes, condors, corn, cougars, the sun, the lighting, the coca plant and many others; The most important symbol for the inca king was the Mascaipacha, that was the royal crown; The mascaipacha was a tassel shape of exquisite red wool, with gold threads and two feathers from a bird call Corequenque; It was the most priceless jewel of the kingdom.

Among all the inca symbols, the one that deserve our attention is the Chakana, this symbol is way more complex that you can possibly imagine, in this page you will learn about the mysteries and the extraordinary mathematical coincidences of the chakana; Today most of the people do not know the existence of the inca cross or chakana, as a matter of fact the shape of the chakana inca is found in absolutely every single one of the incas designs.

Certainly, the chakana is the most interesting of all inca symbols and here is why: Archaeologist had found textiles, pottery and constructions with images and shapes of the chakana, that are more that 4000 years old; The archaeologist understand that this symbol have been around the Peruvian territory long before the incas, it is a fact that this symbol had been found with different shapes and structures, in practically all pre inca cultures.

Most of the inca symbols are quite simple, but the chakana is something from another world; The chakana is a geometrical shape that is form by one circle, then one square inside of the circle, the square must be aligned with the vertices, at the midpoints of the circle; Then inside of the square, we can see another circle, but smaller and inside of this small circle we found a second square, but it is positioned standing in one of its vertices, looking like a lozenge.

Then, we cross two lines inside of the smaller square, like a large X crossing the square vertices, now on the big circle, by the union of different point of intersection, you will see the shape of the most important of the inca symbols; The mathematical and geometrical knowledge need it, to design this shape has to be quite advance, but this is not all; The inca mythology talk about the inca good Wiracocha, they say that he walk the land of the incas from the Titicaca lake to Ecuador.

The walking path of Wiracocha is call the road to heaven, kind of the TAO of the Andes, this walking path make a line that overlap with the inclination angle of the planet of centuries ago, the question is: How the incas knew that?; Now, if we overlap the chakana with our planet, we will see the diagonal line of the small square at 45 degrees from the north to south line of our planet; So if we observe the location of all the pre inca cultures, we can see that surprisingly all of them make a perfect alignment with the chakana.

The inca legend that affirm that the inca symbols hold the secret of life, could be explain like this: The inclination angle of the planet is 23,5 degrees allowing the development of seasons and creating an environment stable enough to harbor life, so if you know the angle of inclination of the planet, you know the secret of life; The fact is that the chakana was use as a measurement device to calculate the inclination angle of the planet.

Without a doubt, the chakana is most important of the inca symbols, but it hold another secret; The mathematics use keys to calculate numbers, like the PI number, PI is an irrational number with a very good approach to the value of the square root of ten, it is commonly use today, so the mathematicians theory is that the chakana was the equivalent of the PI number for us; The chakana as a geometrical figure, hold values and constants, that explain the fundamental mathematics so well, that it is hard to believe that it has been around us for more than 4000 years.

The inca symbols were place in textiles, constructions, inca art, etc; The symbols were everywhere and the chakana was the main one of all, no matter where you look, you will still see this shape everywhere; It is quite clear that the incas did not design this symbol, so the question is, who made it?, or maybe another more interesting question, who teach it to them?.
