Round 5: Tossup 18

Garcilaso de la Vega described the strange feeling of touching one of these objects confiscated by Polo de Ondegardo, which were formerly carried around with flywhisks. Johann Reinhard found lightning damage on a group of three of these objects at Llullaillaco (10[1])(“yoo-yai-YA-ko”). “Black,” “red,” and “mud-coat” types of these objects were created by the Chinchorro culture as (10[1])early as 7000 BCE. At sites like Sillustani, the Aymara placed these objects in chullpas. (10[1])Traces of coca survive on two of these objects nicknamed “Plomo” (10[2])and “Juanita” that were created after (10[1])mountaintop qhapaq (10[1])hucha (10[1])(“KA-pahk HOO-cha”) rituals. (10[3])The mallquis (“MALL-keez”), a royal group of these objects sometimes (10[1])placed in Cuzco’s Awkaypata, were treated (10[1])with bitumen and perpetually (10[1])cared (10[1])for as family of the (10[1])Sapa Inca. (10[1]-5[1])For 10 points, Andean (10[1])cultures (10[1])dessicated what objects (10[1])in a practice similar to Egyptian embalming? ■END■ (10[1])
