ASENCIOS LINDO, Rodolfo Gerbert. Albert A. Giesecke Parthymüeller and the Preservation of the Painted Temple: Unpublished Documents Regarding Preservation in Pachacamac in 1938. Intervención (Méx.

The Painted Temple is one of the most important buildings of the Sanctuary of Pachacamac, a center of pilgrimage during the pre-Hispanic era. Although its preservation was initiated by Albert Antonhy Giesecke Parthymüeller in 1938, little is known about the work he did in the Painted Temple. This RESEARCH will present, through the review of publications and unpublished documents from the archive of Albert Giesecke, the activities that he carried out during his intervention in Pachacamac, listed in various letters and writings. Thus, the documents offered and analyzed testify to one of the first preservation works of that building, which allows constructing the history of preservation in Pachacamac and other archaeological monuments in Peru.

Keywords : Painted Temple; Pachacamac; Albert Giesecke; Preservation; Murals; Peru.
