Abstract

This article analyzes an experience of modernity of the pre-hispanic cultural heritage during the centenary of national independence. It identifies two different and conflicting proposals on its use: one coming from a traditional vision whose origin is in the colony, and other deriving from the new ideas of the Enlightenment. Both participate simultaneously in the public sphere, politics, and education. However, they collided in an antagonistic way in the days of the celebration of the centenary of the country, through the events that occurred around the archaeological sanctuary of Pachacamac, which finally ended up looted by one of these two aspects.
