The Chanka people (or Chanca) were a Late Intermediate (ca. 1400 CE.) ethnic group in Peru. Enemies of the Incas, they were centered primarily in Andahuaylas, located in the modern-day region of Apurímac. The Chankas were divided into three groups: the Hanan Chankas, or the Upper Chankas, the Urin Chankas, or the Lower Chankas, and the Villca, or Hancohuallos. The Hanan Chankas had their center at Andahuaylas, the Urin Chankas at Uranmarca, and the Villca at Vilcas Huaman.
The Chankas encompassed two ethnic groups with well-marked characteristics: the Hanan Chankas (or later called "kingdom of Park that war with the Cusco Quechua"); and the Urin Chankas, who surrendered voluntarily to the Quechua Cusc, and were not destroyed or subjected to forced land transfers (mitmakuna). The Hanan Chanka did not leave major contributions other than villages and found remains of Wari pottery and their own rudimentary tools. This area needs better study.
The Hanan Chankas were an ethnic group that inhabited the region in the departments of Ayacucho, Huancavelica, Junin and part of Apurímac in Peru. They are said to have originated from the lake named Chuqlluqucha and united the colonial "Choclopus" (or "chocorvos") and Urququcha, both in the Huancavelica Department. Their initial territory was located between the rivers Ancoyaco (current Mantaro), Pampas and Pachachaca, tax Apurímac. It expanded to the area "Ancoyaco ayllukuna" with its headquarters in Paucar and the Urin Chankas of Andahuaylas as a secondary base. They developed an autonomous culture and had an optional language of puquina. Its capital was Waman Karpa ("falcon's tent"), on the shore of Lake Anori, 35 km of Andahuaylas, on the banks of the river Pampas.
My dad gave me a book,he said he wished that I would
read,
that it strengthens the mind.
My days are spend lying down,
I didn't want to read the books,
I wanted to watch the sounds.
Today I looked at my book,
I tried to make my father proud,
so I gave it a try.
One hour passed with my book,
I didn't know what I had read,
wanted to watch the sounds.
The sounds were my only friend,
I was a new kid in this town --
It was different before.
There were no kids on my street,
I was just 9 years old at that time,
I wanted to watch the sounds.
I wanted to watch the sounds,
days are falling around,
