Inca cosmology
The golden plate visible in the Corincancha temple represents the 3 worlds according to the Incas: above the oval egg, the supreme deity, Huiracocha, the creative principle flanked by the Sun (Inti) and the Moon (Quilla). The world above is therefore that of the deities, who created the middle world, men, women, animals ... it is the earthly world. What is missing is the world below, the world of the dead. Only the first two are represented with the bottom of the human activity essential to the Incas agriculture represented by the grid space
