The Brother Sun Design: A Glimpse into the Mythological Past of the Inca Civilization This handcoloured copperplate engraving showcases the Inti Guauqui, or Brother Sun design, carved into the cliffside of the ravine of the sun near Cannar, Peru. Dating back to the Inca civilization, this design is a testament to the deep-rooted religious beliefs and mythology of this ancient culture. Inti, the Inca sun god, was revered as the creator of the universe and the giver of life. The Brother Sun design represents the duality of Inti, with the sun's benevolent and malevolent aspects. The design depicts two suns, one with rays of light and the other with rays of fire, symbolizing the life-giving and destructive powers of the sun. The Inti Guauqui was not just a religious symbol but also an astronomical observation, as the sun's rays during the winter solstice align with the design, marking the beginning of the new year in the Inca calendar. This stunning engraving is from Giulio Ferrrario's Costumes Antique and Modern of All Peoples (Il Costume Antico e Moderno di Tutti i Popoli), published in Florence, Italy, in 1842. The intricate details of the design are beautifully captured through the handcolouring and copperplate engraving techniques, providing a vivid glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the Inca civilization.
