Huanca (monolith)
A huanca (in Quechua ancashino: ''wanka'') or chichic (''tsitsiq'') is an elongated vertical stone considered sacred, with multiple symbolisms, in the Andean worldview. Huancas were worshipped and given rituals and offerings. The stone placed at the top is called ''chacrayoc''; (in Quechua of Ancash, ''chakrayuq'' or "lord of the chakra"). Huanca, while monoliths, are similar to ''totems'' (from the Ojibwa word ''ototeman'', meaning 'he is my kinship') of the Native American peoples of North America, as they are considered sacred and can symbolize the ancestor of a community, and thus fulfil a tutelar function. They also resemble ''menhir'', megalithic monuments built in the late Neolithic and Bronze Age in the western Mediterranean and Atlantic Europe. Geographical Distribution Huancas are present in several places in the Ancash Andes. Many have been found in the Callejón de Huaylas in the provinces of Recuay, Huaraz (Huancajirca, Pesebre, Markahirka), Carhuaz (Piruro II), ...
