MANCO CAPAC AND MAMA OCLLO

A long time ago, the spirit of the Sun (Inti), father of the People of the Andes, saw the deplorable state in which the inhabitants of the land were living in, alone like wild animals in caves not knowing how to live together in harmony since they did not have any kind of religious instructions to bring them together. They also had no tools to hunt and lacked understanding of any kind of agricultural techniques and textile abilities. That was the main reason why they lived like barbarians in caves and were naked, eating wild animals and bare seasonal fruit.
So the sun god Inti decided to create a man and a woman  and sent the couple to Earth to create a civilization. They appeared emerging out from the foamy waters of the Lake Titicaca, walking above the waters towards the island of the Sun, located in the midst of the Lake. They were given a golden rod or staff in their hands by the Sun, their father, who bade them settle permanently at whatever place the staff should sink easily into the earth. He recommended to travel North of the Lake, where a majestic Valley was cordoned off by beautiful mountains, and at a hill overlooking the present day city of Cuzco named Huana-Cauri the staff of gold was planted easily into the soil and disappeared like being eaten by the earth without resistance; thus telling them this was the ideal place which the new civilization would begin. They gathered around them a great many people who mistook them with gods because of the brightness of their clothing and jewelry, and founded the city of Cuzco, the capital of the Inca state, that became the center of the world.
From this specific moment Manco Capac is recognized as the legendary founder  of the Inca dynasty of Peru.
Manco Capac undertook the task civilizing the people in the Valley of Cuzco; he taught men about agricultural techniques, fishery, animal husbandry skills, house construction, science, religion, etc., while his sister and wife, Mama Ocllo, was given the task of empowering women in household chores, fabric to create garments that cover their nakedness, and child-rearing.
Manco Capac, as the first Inca of the Kingdom of Cuzco, set up a code of laws. By the time of his death, he had 400 children to carry on his bloodline. His people built the Temple of the Sun on the spot where he died.
The Inca emperors claimed they descended from this great couple, and founders of the empire that later their descendants transformed into the great Inca Empire, and therefore, descendants from the Sun god himself, holding so much power among the people that inhabited the land.
The Incas developed a very sophisticated civilization with successful agricultural practices, an impressive and complex religious and social structures, and a well organized army.
Their creation of textiles were superb, as well as their advanced system of roads and a prominent use of gold in decor and artifacts.
