Tala Canta Ilabe
Tala Canta Ilabe (in quechua: ''Tala Canta'', or Sorcerer's Lasso; ''Tala'': Lasso; ''Canta'': Sorcerer) was an Inca governor for a zone in Collasuyo, corresponding to the ayllu where Talagante is currently located, near Santiago de Chile. Quilicanta, the Inca governor of Collasuyo who was assassinated by Inés de Suárez, was also from the same panaka as Tala Canta IIabe. He was the great-great-grandfather of Catalina de los Ríos y Lísperguer, «la Quintrala». The toponym "Talagante" is derived from his name. Biography In 1430, the Inca Túpac Yupanqui undertook a great military campaign that culminated in the establishment of a true border on the Maule River. His son, Tala Canta Ilabe, a nobleman of the Hurin Cusco lineage (same lineage as Cápac Yupanqui) commanded the imperial forces that settled in the Llollehue valley, between the Maipo and Mapocho rivers, and decided to found a mitma and a pukara.

Collasuyo
Qullasuyu (Quechua and Aymara spelling, ; Hispanicized spellings: ''Collasuyu, Kholla Suyu'') was the southeastern provincial region of the Inca Empire. Qullasuyu is the region of the Qulla and related specifically to the native Qulla Quechuas who primarily resided in areas such as Cochabamba and Potosí. Most Aymara territories which are now largely incorporated into the modern South American states of northern Chile, Argentina, Peru and Bolivia were annexed during the reign of Sapa Inca Huayna Cápac in the sixteenth century. Recently, there have been movements to form a "Greater Qullasuyu" (or Qullana Suyu Marka) which would incorporate a territory similar to the former Tawantinsuyu in extent. This ideal has been proposed by the office of the Apu Mallku and the parliament of the Qullana. Qullasuyu was the largest of the four ''suyu'' (or "quarters", the largest divisions of the Inca empire) in terms of area. This ''suyu'' encompassed the Bolivian Altiplano and much of the south ...

Pukara
Pukara (Aymara and Quechuan "fortress", Hispanicized spellings ''pucara, pucará'') is a defensive hilltop site or fortification built by the prehispanic and historic inhabitants of the central Andean area (from Ecuador to central Chile and northwestern Argentina). In some cases, these sites acted as temporary fortified refuges during periods of increased conflict, while other sites show evidence for permanent occupation. Emerging as a major site type during the Late Intermediate Period (c. 1000-1430AD), the pukara form was adopted in some areas by the Inca military in contested borderlands of the Inca Empire. The Spanish also referred to the Mapuche earthen forts built during the Arauco War in the 16th and 17th centuries by this term. Today, the term is commonly found in toponyms of the Andes region, e.g. Andalicán, Pucará de Angol, Camiña, Cañete, Nama, Quiapo, Tilcara, Turi, Pucara del Cerro La Muralla, Pukara of La Compañía, Pukara de Lasana, Pucará de Belén, ...

Ceramic Art
Ceramic art is art made from ceramic materials, including clay. It may take forms including artistic pottery, including tableware, tiles, figurines and other sculpture. As one of the plastic arts, ceramic art is one of the visual arts. While some ceramics are considered fine art, such as pottery or sculpture, most are considered to be decorative, industrial or applied art objects. Ceramics may also be considered artefacts in archaeology. Ceramic art can be made by one person or by a group of people. In a pottery or ceramic factory, a group of people design, manufacture and decorate the art ware. Products from a pottery are sometimes referred to as "art pottery". In a one-person pottery studio, ceramists or potters produce studio pottery. The word "ceramics" comes from the Greek ''keramikos'' (κεραμεικός), meaning "pottery", which in turn comes from ''keramos'' (κέραμος) meaning "potter's clay". Most traditional ceramic products were made from clay ( ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Bartolomé Flores
Bartolomé Flores (1511 – November 11, 1585) is believed to have been the first German to arrive in Chile. He came with the expedition of Pedro de Valdivia at the beginning of the Spanish conquest of Chile. Biography Bartholomew, known in Chile as ''Bartolomé Flores'', was born 1506 or 1511 in the Franconian town of Nuremberg. His parents were John and Agatha. His Spanish family name ''Flores'' is a translation of his unknown original name in German. Benjamín Vicuña Mackenna (1877) named him hypothetically ''Blumen'', which is a translation of his Spanish name into German, but does not exist as a surname in German. In his ''Diccionario Biográfico Colonial de Chile'' (1906) José Toribio Medina named him ''Blumenthal'', a modern German-Jewish name, without mentioning his source. In Nuremberg at that time there were families named ''Blum'', ''Blümel'' or ''Blümlein''. Bartholomew came about 1528 to America and stayed first in La Española, Santo Domingo and Nicaragua, from whe ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
