Capacocha
''Capacocha'', also referred to as ''qhapaq ucha'' or ''qhapaq hucha'', was an important sacrificial rite among the Inca that typically involved the sacrifice of children.〔Valerie A.; Buzon, Michele R.; Gibaja, Arminda M.; McEwan, Gordon F.; Simonetti, Antonio; Creaser, Robert A. (February 2011). "Investigating a child sacrifice event from the Inca heartland". Journal of Archaeological Science 38 (2): 323-333. doi:10.1012/j.jas.2010.09.009.〕 The phrase ''capacocha'' has been translated to mean “solemn sacrifice” or “royal obligation.”〔Valerie A.; Buzon, Michele R.; Gibaja, Arminda M.; McEwan, Gordon F.; Simonetti, Antonio; Creaser, Robert A. (February 2011). "Investigating a child sacrifice event from the Inca heartland". Journal of Archaeological Science 38 (2): 323-333. doi:10.1012/j.jas.2010.09.009.〕 The rationale for this type of sacrificial rite has typically been understood as the Inca trying to ensure that humanity's best were sent to join the their deities. 〔D'Altroy, Terence N. (2003). The Incas (Reprinted ed.). Oxford: Blackwell Pub. ISBN 1-4051-1676-5.〕 ''Capacocha'' ceremonies took place under several circumstances. Some were undertaken as the result of key events in the life of the Sapa Inca, the Inca Emperor, such as illness, his death, his succession to the throne, or the birth of a son.〔Reinhard, Johan; Ceruti, Constanza (June 2005). "Sacred Mountains, Ceremonial Sites, and Human Sacrifice Among the Incas". Archaeoastronomy 19: 1-43.〕 At other times, ''capacocha'' ceremonies were undertaken to stop natural disasters or were performed during major festivals at important ceremonial sites.〔Reinhard, Johan; Ceruti, Constanza (June 2005). "Sacred Mountains, Ceremonial Sites, and Human Sacrifice Among the Incas". Archaeoastronomy 19: 1-43.〕
''Capacocha'' ceremonies were circular in nature, with sacrificial victims and material offerings being brought from local communities in the provinces to the capital of Cuzco before being redistributed to sacred places throughout the empire.〔Ceruti, Maria Constanza (March 2004). "Human Bodies as Objects of Dedication at Inca Mountain Shrines (north-western Argentina)". World Archaeology 36 (1): 103
*122.〕 This fulfilled political as well as religious goals. As such, capacocha sacrifices were usually not sacrificed in the region from which they originated.〔Reinhard, Johan; Ceruti, Constanza (June 2005). "Sacred Mountains, Ceremonial Sites, and Human Sacrifice Among the Incas". Archaeoastronomy 19: 1-43.〕 ''Capacocha'' ceremonies are often associated with high-altitude occurrences and the tops of mountains; however, these rituals were not limited to mountain peaks.〔Valerie A.; Buzon, Michele R.; Gibaja, Arminda M.; McEwan, Gordon F.; Simonetti, Antonio; Creaser, Robert A. (February 2011). "Investigating a child sacrifice event from the Inca heartland". Journal of Archaeological Science 38 (2): 323-333. doi:10.1012/j.jas.2010.09.009.〕 Evidence of the practice of ''capacocha'' has been found at relatively lower altitudes such as around Lake Titicaca.〔Valerie A.; Buzon, Michele R.; Gibaja, Arminda M.; McEwan, Gordon F.; Simonetti, Antonio; Creaser, Robert A. (February 2011). "Investigating a child sacrifice event from the Inca heartland". Journal of Archaeological Science 38 (2): 323-333. doi:10.1012/j.jas.2010.09.009.〕
==Capacocha at Cuzco==
The ''capacocha'' sacrifice started at the capital city of Cuzco, on the order of the ''Sapa Inca''. The offering began in the city with some of the children, while other children were sacrificed in other locations and ''huacas,'' around the kingdom, as this large sacrifice trickled down so no location was left out of the offering. If a huaca was forgotten or left out, it could cause political uproar or displease the Gods.
