ARAUJO, Armando Aroca. HYPOGEA DESIGN ANALYSIS OF THE TIERRADENTRO ARQUEOLOGICAL PARK, CAUCA, COLOMBIA. rev.udcaactual.divulg.cient. [online]. 2013, vol.16, n.2, pp.525-534. ISSN 0123-4226.

An approach to the logic of construction that led to the mural design, inside the hypogea of the Tierradentro Archaeological Park, being these perhaps one of the most representative traces of the geometric mathematical Colombian heritage, is presented. In particular, some designs of the hypogea stations located at Segovia, El Duende, Alto de San Andrés and El Aguacate that were elaborated on the walls, ceilings, pillars, niches and columns, are analyzed. The focus of the analysis of these designs does not respond to the imposition of the validation of theorems or definitions of academic mathematics.

Keywords : Pre-Colombian geometry; mural painting; ossuaries; construction logic; ethnomathematics; hypogea of Tierradentro.
