ASTRONOMICAL ORIENTATION OF INCAS OBJECTS IN MACHU PICCHU AND OLLANTAYTAMBO, PERU

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

This paper deals about astronomical orientation at Incas Torreon in Machu Picchu in Peru and two objects in Ollantaytambo, which is located cca 35 km southeast of Machu Picchu and lies in the Urubamba valley. We tested astronomical orientation in these places and confirm or disprove hypothesis about purpose of Incas objects. For assessment orientation of objects we used our measurements and also satellite images on Google Earth and digital elevation model. The satellite images used to approximate estimation of astronomical orientation. The digital elevation model is useful in the mountains, where we need the really horizon for a calculation of sunset and sunrise on specific days (solstices), which were for Incas people very important. By Incas is veryfamous that they worshiped the Sun. According to him they determined when to plant and when to harvest the crop.
