In the preceding chapter, a hypothetical model of the Inca state calendar has been presented, emphasizing its multifunctional aspect, which was reflected in the existence of (at least) four different “beginnings of the year,” with so many subsequent “readings.” Each of these calendrical cycles served other purposes. Additionally, there was probably a ceremonial cycle reserved for the Inca elite, centered around the worship of the huacas of the ceques system and the solemnization of critical points (four? eight?) of the annual route of the Sun.
