π The lecture is a continuation of a previous one, covering additional important material.
πΊοΈ The map of Chavin dewantar shows the underground systems and the relationship between the canals and galleries.
ποΈ Galleries in Chavin were underground structures that incorporated old walls and allowed access to past architecture.
π΄ The Esplanade gallery is discussed, highlighting details of the previous structures within it.
β¬οΈβ¬οΈ Stone-lined cysts within the gallery suggest peering into previous surfaces and time periods.
ποΈ The lecture focuses on the excavations and conservation efforts in the Esplanade area, outside the core ceremonial basins.
π The architecture found in the Esplanade area is different from the central core areas, indicating a different functional organization and possibly multiple cults.
π The well-preserved architecture in the Esplanade area provides insights into the highly strategized and coordinated nature of the ChavΓn civilization.
π Exceptional preservation circumstance led to the discovery of significant artifacts and structures.
ποΈ The excavation area revealed a complex arrangement of stone-lined pits with no evidence of wooden structures, suggesting a different purpose.
π The presence of earlier surfaces and the deliberate marking of structures hint at a pattern of backward vision and a significant pattern of activity.
π New water canals and structures are being built and rebuilt, with walls and passageways showing up.
ποΈ The site has experienced a pattern of growth and reuse over a 300-year period, with major features expanding and evolving.
πΊοΈ Galleries have been evolving and expanding over time, with evidence of intricate architecture and intentional incorporation of earlier surfaces.
π The video discusses the excavation of a gallery and its surrounding structures, dating back to 800 DC.
ποΈ The structures in the gallery area evolved over time, becoming increasingly complex and restricted in size.
β° The construction activities within the site spanned approximately 300 years, with continuous construction and reconstruction.
π The concept of ancestral architecture is explored, suggesting an evolution of architectural practices across different regions.
π°οΈ The idea of memory in relation to the past is challenged, with the concept of maintaining the past alive in the present being emphasized.
ποΈ Chavine is described as a secretive organization, with evidence suggesting that ritual activities were conducted in small spaces, potentially limiting the understanding of outsiders.
π Chavine's ritualism is believed to have evolved intentionally to avoid duplication and imitation by other societies within the larger interaction sphere.
π The development of authority in society can be understood through different roots: self-interest and disinterest, or altruism.
π‘ Leaders who primarily serve the system believe in what they're doing and may use artifice or duplicity to achieve their goals.
π‘οΈ Chevyne had weaponry present, but it lacked major tombs or evidence of massive personal wealth accumulation.
π Chevyne was a highly programmed and structured society, with authority invested in those who ran the system.
π Chavine society found itself at a crossroads, privileged by new possibilities but constrained by a tradition-bound system.
