Tandem guided tour - Corn, knives and death. Rituals in the ancient Andean world

The American collection of the Ethnologisches Museum Berlin includes a ceremonial knife, an Inca dress and depictions of corn. These and other exhibits in the room “Am Humboldt Strom” were used for rituals before their time in the museum. They shed light on the understanding of life and death, religiosity and social interactions of ancient Andean societies.

Ancient Americanist Carolina Pretell and cultural scientist Romina Tello give a dialogical tour through the exhibition. They discuss material and aesthetic characteristics of the objects and report on rituals in the context of traditional celebrations, ceremonial offerings and the cult of the dead.
