image located by Ivan Sache, 1 May 2018Universidad Nacional Toribio Rodríguez de Mendoza de Amazonas (UNTRM) was
established in Chachapoyas (Amazonas) by Law No. 27,347 enacted on 18 September
2000. The Consejo Nacional para la Autorización de Universidades (CONAFU)
allowed the initiation of academic work by Resolution No 114, adopted on 25 May
2001. UNTRM was managed by commissions appointed by CONAFU until granted
complete autonomy by Resolution No. 627, adopted on 27 November 2009 by CONAFU.
The first executive of UMTNR, elected on 21 November 2009, was recognized by
Resolution No. 598, adopted on 24 November 2009 by CONAFU.
UNTRM is named
for Alejandro Toribio Rodríguez de Mendoza Collantes (1750-1825)), one of the
most famous precursors of the Republic of Peru. Graduated in theology at the
Real y Pontificia Universidad de San Marcos in Lima, Toribio Rodríguez de
Mendoza served as a Professor of Philosophy and Theology at the Real Convictorio
de San Carlos. He was eventually appointed Rector of the university.
In his
teaching, Toribio Rodríguez de Mendoza spread modern ideas; his disciples and
friends founded the Sociedad Filantrópica, an anti-monarchist society that
publicized the American revolution. Elected Representative of Trujillo, he
presided the preliminary sessions of the first Constituent Congress, held in
1822 Dean of the College of Lawyers of Lima, Toribio Rodríguez de Mendoza is the
namesake of the medal awarded by the Constitutional Court of Peru to people or
institutions who have significantly contributed to the defense of the
Constitution and human rights. He is also the namesake of a province of
Amazonas.
UNTRM is composed of seven Faculties (Social Sciences and
Humanities; Health Sciences; Engineering and Agronomic Sciences; Civil and
Environmental Engineering; Zootechnical, Agro-economical and Biotechnological
Engineering; Economical and Administrative Sciences; Systems Engineering and
Electro-mechanics) and three Research Institutes (Instituto de Investigación de
Arqueología y Antropología "Kuelap" - INAAK; Instituto de Investigación para el
Desarrollo Sustentable de Ceja de Selva - INDES-CES; and Instituto de
Investigación en Ganadería y Biotecnología - IGBI)

The emblem of UNTRM is
composed of:
- letter "U", for "Universidad";
- the monolith, representing
an antique figure of the Chachapoya culture and symbolizing the civilization,
arts and creations of the ancient Amazonians;
- two stylized grass snakes, as
represented on the walls of the archeological site of Luya [Kuélap fortress;
https://static.independent.co.uk/.../kuelap-snakes.jpg - Photo], which were
the main elements of the Chachapoya's cosmovision;
- a rhomb (in base)
representing the main archaeological monument of Amazonas, the Kuélap fortress [http://peru-tripadvisors.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/8.jpg

Kuélap, a mountaintop fortress city, rivals any ruins in the new world and
comes complete with living quarters for thousands of residents and a stone wall
fortification reaching 60 feet high running in circumference to the city. Kuélap
is considered the largest stone ruin site in the New World and is comprised of
massive stone blocks nearly 10-times the volume of the blocks used in the Giza
Pyramid.
The fortress of Kuélap consists of massive exterior stone walls
containing more than four hundred buildings. The structure, situated on a ridge
overlooking the Utcubamba Valley in northern Peru, is roughly 600 meters in
length and 110 meters in width and is thought to have been built to defend
against the Huari or other hostile peoples. Archaeological evidence shows that
the structure was built around 500 AD and occupied until the mid-1500s (Early
Colonial period). Nearby the ruins can be found “purunmachus” or stone tombs
built in the shape of people that would have housed the mummified remains of
Chachapoyas royalty.

Before 2015/2016, UNTRM used a different emblem, oval with a
colored representation of the monolith. The flag of the university was white,
charged with the emblem, but with the border celestial blue instead of golden
yellow on the self-standing emblem, and the lettering white instead of black.
The flag with the old emblem was still seen in use on photos taken in 2017.
