Paper 5 Option 1: Explore the Early Religious traditions of the Preceramic and the Chavin. Is there evidence for a continuation of meaning or does Chavin constitute a completely new religious horizon? • Paper 5 Option 2: Explore the concept of religiously sanctioned cooperation in the Andean tradition. What is “Ayllu” and how might one identify it in the deep past? What is the role of the Ayllu given the various origin myths you’ve encountered? Importantly, explore how the Inka and earlier elites appropriated this apparently group-based religion for their own non-reciprocal ends? Where can you see a religious explanation for these imperial actions given the Andean worldview?
