INCA CREATION

In the beginning, Pachacamac the sun rose slowly from Lake Titicaca. Pachacamac was so bright that nothing else could be seen in the sky but him. However the sky night was empty so he made the planets, stars and the moon. The moon became his wife and they both rules over the earth and heavens. Pachacamac made from stone the first humans who were creatures that knew nothing about the world or even how to survive in it. The sun and moon had a daughter and son and sent them to the earth to help the humans. The son taught the men how to plant fields and build houses and the daughter taught the women how to weave and make food. Pachacamac’s son became the first Inca, he and his wife went to find a place for their people to settle down. They stuck their fathers golden rods in the earth. Each rod would act as a symbol for his people to build a city. In the valley of Huanacauri another rod was planted and this became the first temple of the sun and this would be the place where people would settle. Then Inca and his wife went to gather his people. Inca went north and his wife south. In the small villages the husband and wife were both admired that people moved to the valley of Huanacauri. Incas wife’s followers settled in the south whilst Inca’s followers settle in the north. All of the cities were divided into northern and southern halves that represented males and female forces.

What is its message?
That men and women cannot be compared as being the same. They are both different. Also that men and women are capable of doing the same thing as both husband and wife gathered followers to their land.
