Human Archeological Remains Found in Sacsayhuamán

Remains of two children, estimated to be between 12 and 13 at the time of their death, were found within the Archeological park of Sacsayhuamán, next to the huaca Qowiqarana. They were placed in the fetal position and were facing the Apu Huanacaure, one of mountains that dominates the landscape around Cusco.The children were found buried with a small stone model of the hilltops that surround the Huanacaure, as well as painted vessel. Luis Guevara, the archeologist in charge of the excavation managed by Cusco’s National Cultural Institute, states that “the cult of the Apu Huanacuare was founded by the Inca Pachacúteq. As we know, this mountain was considered by the Incas, and by today’s population, to be sacred because it is associated with the foundation of Cusco.”
The huaca consists of a large rock that sticks out of the slope. According to Guevara, a secondary path crossed through this area, which connected to the path of the Antisuyo. Experts believe that this huaca is associated with the Apu Huanacaure cult because from its top, one can observe the mountain in its entire splendor.

Three soldiers were injured yesterday while fighting against a group of drug traffickers and terrorists, according to Rafael Rey, Peru's Defense Minister.
The clash took place near Sinaicocha, in Santo Domingo de Acobamba (Huancavelica region).
The injured soldiers, one Seargent and two Corporals, will be sent to a hospital as soon as possible, because bad weather has prevented flights up to now.
Rey told RadioProgramas del Peru (RPP) that the injured soldiers are Seargent Pablo César Castillo and Corporals Pablo Benito Sucaray and Paucar Sunamal.
He said that they are not in danger now, and explained that these incidents happen because “the military units patrol and search for the terrorists, following indications from intelligence reports.”
