In Incan culture, the snake (or serpent, known as mach'aqway or amaru) was a sacred symbol representing the underworld (Uku Pacha), infinite time, deep wisdom, and transformation. The snake forms one-third of the sacred Andean trilogy, alongside the puma and the condor.It represents Uku Pacha, the inner or lower world associated with the dead, ancestors, and the earth's unseen roots. Seen as a keeper of profound insight and knowledge.The Infinite: Its sinuous, winding movements symbolized eternity and continuity. Because it sheds its skin, the serpent embodied transformation, rebirth, and the cyclical nature of life. Sinuous serpent lines in architecture and channels were sometimes linked to the life-giving flow of underground water and rivers.
