Le site de Choqe K'Iraw situé à 3100 m d'altitude dans les Andes péruviennes est souvent considéré comme « l'autre Machu Picchu » depuis sa redécouverte au milieu du XIXème. Aujourd'hui, il faut encore près de trois jours pour se rendre sur le site. Le chemin est vraisemblablement le même que celui qu'empruntaient les aventuriers qu'ils soient avides d'or ou de savoir. La rumeur proviendrait d'un manuscrit daté de 1710 mentionnant la localité de Choqe K'Iraw qui signifie en langue Quechua « le berceau de l'or ». Mais qui étaient les Incas ? A partir de l'analyse du site et des étonnantes découvertes qui y ont été faites dernièrement nous dresserons un portrait de la civilisation Inca qui sous des dehors parfois austère d'empire bureaucratique cache de savants observateurs du monde et de grands symbolistes.
