Kancha translation[edit]

The term "Golden Courtyard" is not at all confirmed. Is a thesis and i think is incorrect. Most accepted is Golden Palace but I even heard Door of the Sun, Temple of the Sun, Golden Room but never "Golden Courtyard". There are not fonts in the wiki description that indicated the meaning of "Courtyard" Im not involved with the following link but their description is more accurate than your Pls visit http://www.infoperu.com/peru/eng/inca/corichancha.html

This link can give u an idea and i think is more correct:

According to our history, it was the first Inka, Manko Qhapaq who built the original temple. But, it was the ninth, Pachakuteq who since 1438 reconstructed, enlarged, improved and modernized the most important religious complex of the vast Inkan Society. There are certain discrepancies about the complex's original name, and though they are not antagonistic ones, they cause a relative confusion. Frequently in chronicles and history treatises the name Intiwasi is found, (inti= sun, wasi= house) it means "Sun House"; also the name Intikancha is used and which would mean "Sun Palace" (this is considering that almost all Inkan palaces had the noun "Kancha"). While that its most popular name is Qorikancha that would mean "Golden Palace". Maria Rostworowski (look at wikipedia about her) suggests that the ancient temple was known as "Intikancha" and after Pachakuteq as "Qorikancha".
