Rolando Escudero Vidal

coricancha
  107

Coricancha is a construction in the city of Cuzco. Construction of the time of the Incas. And what Coricancha? They say it means Golden Temple because it is derived from the phrase Carolinaa ghor-ri ghech-hua which means siege of gold, as ghor-ri means gold, and ghech-hua means siege. But, possibly Carolinaa phrase which originates the name isn't ghor-ri ghech-hua, but ghor-rij ghech-hua which means siege collecting, because ghor-rij means that collects which brings together. This means that the fence was a place of meetings. I.e. Coricancha means place of meetings
