In Inca belief, the Sun (Inti in Quechua) was the primary deity, seen as the husband of the moon. The Sun held the power to heal, control crops, and provide relief to people.

The Quipu, or khipu, was used by the Incas and Andean cultures to record and convey information. This ingenious device, without a written language, utilized colors, strings, and knots at different heights to record various data, including dates, statistics, accounts, and even abstract folk stories and poetry.
