Ayarmaca
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The manor of Ayarmaca was an ethnic group that in the primitive era of the Inca manor was in full splendor, being feared by the Incas and other small Cusco manors of the time.
The Ayarmaca ethnic group resurfaced from the remains of the Wari culture approximately in the 13th century. Probably the manor of Ayarmaca was a state next to the kingdom of Pinagua because in all kinds of documentation both kingdoms appear together.
Probably, Ayar Auca, brother of Ayar Manco (Manco Cápac) in the legend of the Ayar Brothers was the head of the manor of Ayarmaca, because as the legend says, it was he who put the name of Acamama (Pile of stones) to the valley of Cusco.
The Ayarmaca territory occupied the entire north and northwest of Department of Cusco, including Chinchero, Ollantaytambo, Calca, Chita and Písac, while the Pinagua occupied the eastern towns of Quispicancha, Pikillaqta Sailla and even the Lucre Lake.
This state of imperial character had 18 cities under its dominion and sovereignty. It is currently reduced to a small space that is called the Ayarmaca neighborhood, in the San Sebastián district.
