Hierophany: The Tinkuy as Light-Water Encounter in a Ritual Landscape
The meaning of “tinkuy” as a ritual catalytic encounter mediated through the transformational nature of water that included decapitation, sexual rites, ritual battle, shamanic flight, and light-water rites in a ritual landscape as described below invites the suggestion of an overarching structural and functional idea that points back to the premise of the water cycle itself, which at minimum included the perceived movement of the Milky Way and the ecliptic path of the sun.

latin...lol...Royals on a scoring rampage...Bour has moments...dogged a grounder...gave up on it thinking second baseman's play, and went to cover first...Devereaux has moments...that's actually a pretty good very long sentence, and one can see that if one is familiar with the lore she's trying to cram into it...oh...I watched movieAgora last night...it's about giant sundials, sorta...a motif in the movie is an Oculus in the round roof of the Library of Alexandria...a whimsy in the movie is that Hypatia is on the verge of discovering the Earth goes around the Sun...philosophical discussion about this plays out against warfare in the city between religious factions--none get off lightly, which might explain why the movie is obscure...that, and it kind of clinks with the directors metaphysics...Metaphysicians, and Philosophers, often want their thoughts writ large, and display grand schemes and notions!...Royals' inning just keeps going and going...seven hits so far...

Urton (Fig. 2) showed that the ecliptic wasn’t necessary to form the celestial Kan cross as the Maya have it; the movement of the Milky Way alone was enough to account for it. This is represented by the association in the image to left of the Milky Way checkerboard and the Rotator that can spin in either a sinestral or anti-sunwise direction (see Rotator). The Rotators, then, were a visual clue to the location and movement of the Milky Way and, hence, the wet or dry season.

I've come to calling captions like this 'match cut' captions...the checkerboard pattern match cuts to the Milky Way; the what I've seen captioned as a starfish (actually it looks very much like a brittle star!) becomes the ''Rotator"...Rotator in blue so it has its own page...and so it goes...the wet and dry season brought in...putting different things side by side makes a connection between the two...match cuts a favorite movie stunt, often done for comedic effect...wiki's example is from movie2001, the ape throws a bone in the air and it match cuts, morphs, into an orbiting space station...no caption explains this...just the images...and the thought above is that all the motifs side by side are match cutting...match cuts can be emotionally startling...remember monster movies as a kid...everything is normal, then, boom, the monster jumps out...there's no telling what the Moche/Andeans realized contemplating their pottery motif art...decapitation made them jump a bit I imagine!...it's not like I'm superior, or inferior, to match cutters in my presentations...I use them too...I've been calling them stepping stones, or some such...here's one I found reaching for 'giant sundials'...

This report argues that the all-important tinkuy was conceived of in another way that is consistent with triadic cosmology on the two solstices when the Milky Way was the night-time Zenith, and twice a year midway between those events when the noon-time sun was the daytime Zenith.
... ... ...
Another impressive tinkuy was found at Moro de Eten in the Lambayeque Valley in northern Peru c. 400-200 BCE. There, an ancient road passed by a pyramid and led to a cliff overlooking the sea. During most of the year, “the road seems purposeless, but at the December solstice the light of the setting sun, reflecting on the water, makes a brilliant golden extension of the road into the Pacific to the western horizon” (Kelley and Milone, 2011:441).

How Apuleius by Roses and prayer returned to his humane shape.
When midnight came that I had slept my first sleepe, I awaked with suddaine feare, and saw the Moone shining bright, as when shee is at the full, and seeming as though she leaped out of the Sea.
