Fun facts about the Incas

The Incas never stayed in one place for two long because other tribes did not
like other tribes so they would come and they would start a war between two
other people that would end tragically.
The Incas today look like they have holes in their heads because of the weapons
that the Inca.
The Incas had different leaders between different time periods.
Warriors of the Inca people were brainwashed for many years to forget fear
completely until they became fearless to everything and then they were officially
a warrior they had no idea that the leaders were punishing slaves for silly things.
The culture of the Incas was very peaceful and simply for most people.
The Spaniard greed destroyed the beauty of fascinating Inca Empire. When the
Spaniards were searching for silver and gold they destroyed temples and burned
the quipus which is equivalent to historical books. The last of the Inca
survivors collected all of the gold left from the kingdom and moved it into the
Amazon jungle to hide.
The Inca people spoke the Quecha language and used the Quipu in writing. This
device consisted of cords of different lengths and colors.
In 1532, Spanish conquistadors under Francisco Pizarro first made contact with
the mighty Inca Empire: it ruled parts of present-day Peru, Ecuador, Chile,
Bolivia and Colombia.
The Incas had several Inca god there was one gad that was names the sun god
because every day there was sun the god was happy when the sun is not out the
god was angry with them so the leader would have to choose a child to be
sacrificed to the god to make him happy again.

Inca Gods
There was a loud rumble and the floor started to shake, it was an earth quake only
one god can do that, Wirakocha. Many Inca gods were part of the Inca religion, for
instance Wirakocha, he was the god of disguise, his siblings put him under ground in a
cave so anytime he would try to get out, and there would be an earth quake. But there was
one god unparticular, his name is Inti. Inti is the sun god and the father of Wirakocha.
Inti's image is a golden disk with a human face surrounded by bright ray, people say, and
Every day Inti soars across the sky to the western horizon, plunges into the sea, and swims
under the earth back to the east. Inti's sons are Wirakocha, Pachacomac, and Manco
Capac. Monco Capac is the youngest out of them all. Moco and Pachacomac put
Wirakocha into a cave underground because he had too much anger and he was
dangerous. Monco is the son of Inti, also a solar god. The youngest of four brothers, Manco
Capac defied the eldest brother who greedily demanded all of creation for himself. Sealing
the eldest brother forever in a cave, Manco Capac murdered another and frightened the
third into fleeing, never to be seen again. Thus gaining power over all the world, Manco
Capac founded the city of Cuzco and was worshipped as the Son of the Sun. Wirakocha is
the great god Wirkocha diguised as a traveler in rags. A trickster, a prankster. No one knew
who he was, and the people he passed called him names. Yet as he walked, he created. With
a word he made the fields and terraced hillsides. Dropping a reed blossom, he made water
flow. Finally last out of the brothers is Pachacomac, God of the earth, creator god. Prior to
the Incan conquest, the Peruvians worshipped Pachamac as the Supreme Being. For
political purposes, the Incas were forced to adopt Pachamac into their own pantheon, but
his position was never very secure. The great Inca Atahualpa treated Pachamac's priests
with cold indifference, explaining to the Spanish conquistador Francisco Pizarro that the
god's oracle had made three ruinously inaccurate prophecies. The Great Sun King even
incited the Spaniards to defile and loot the god's temple. They accepted the invitation
enthusiastically. Then theirs Mama Quilla goddess of the moon, and protector of married

women. Her image is a silver disc with a human face, and the wife of Inti. The most
importiant god of them all is Literally, Sea-Foam. The Creator and the teacher of the world.
After the Great Flood, which covered even the highest mountains and destroyed all life,
Virococha molded new people out of clay at Tia Huanaco. On each figure of clay he painted
the many features, clothes and hairstyles of the many nations, and gave to them their
languages, their songs and the seeds they were to plant. Bringing them to life, Viracocha
ordered them to travel underground and emerge at different places on the earth. Then
Viracocha made the sun and the moon and the stars, and assigned them to their places in
the sky. Raising up smaller Viracocha, the God ordered them to go about the world and call
forth the people, and see to it that they mulitplied and followed the commandments they
had been given. Some of the little viracocha went south, some went southeast, while the
God's two sons traveled northeast and northwest. Viracocha himself traveled straight north.
Some tribes had rebelled, and these Viracocha punished by turning the people into stone. At
Pucara, forty leagues north of Cuzco, Viracocha called down fire from the sky upon those
who had disobeyed his commandments. Arriving at last at Cuzco and the seacoast,
Viracocha gathered together his two sons and all the little viracocah, and they walked
across the water until they disappeared. There are two more main gods. Imahmana

Viracocha and Tocapo Virachocha

Son of the creator Viracocha. After the Great Flood and the Creation, Viracocha sent his son
Imaymana Viracocha together with his brother Tocapo Viracocha to visit the tribes and see
if they still followed the commandments they had been given. As they went, Imaymana and
Tocapo gave names to all the trees, flowers, fruits and herbs, and taught the people which
of these could be eaten, which could cure, and which could kill. Lastly, Supai
God of death. A god of insatiable greed. The Incas sacrificed over a hundred children a year
to Supai and still he would not leave them alone. Inca had many gods that they
wouldfallow and admire, those are the main gods that they would mainly worship. Inca
hand many exciting and interesting gods.
