Descrição: Basilio discusses the discovery of human bones at the site of Iglesiachayoq in Peru's Ayacucho region. The bones are believed to be the first archaeological evidence of an Andean resistance movement called Taki Onqoy, which arose after the Spanish conquest in 1532. The movement involved exhuming the dead from beneath churches and reburial according to Andean customs. The skull unearthed at the site may be evidence of this rebellion and how Andean people merged Spanish burial customs with their own rituals. The Taki Onqoy movement involved rejecting Spanish culture and Christianity, performing frenzied dances, and invoking the favor of local gods. Spanish authorities repressed the movement, destroying huacas (local gods) and punishing followers. The existence and significance of the Taki Onqoy movement have been debated by scholars, with some suggesting it may have been exaggerated or fabricated by Spanish clergymen. Archaeologists are investigating the site to find material evidence that can confirm or challenge the historical documents.
