The Inka Empire stretched over much of the length and breadth of the South American Andes, encompassed elaborately planned cities linked by a complex network of roads and messengers, and created astonishing works of architecture and artistry and a compelling mythology—all without the aid of a graphic writing system. Instead, the Inkas' records consisted of devices made of knotted and dyed strings—called khipu—on which they recorded information pertaining to the organization and history of their empire. Despite more than a century of research on these remarkable devices, the khipu remain largely undeciphered. In this benchmark book, twelve international scholars tackle the most vexed question in khipu studies: how did the Inkas record and transmit narrative records by means of knotted strings? The authors approach the problem from a variety of angles. Several essays mine Spanish colonial sources for details about the kinds of narrative encoded in the khipu. Others look at the uses to which khipu were put before and after the Conquest, as well as their current use in some contemporary Andean communities. Still others analyze the formal characteristics of khipu and seek to explain how they encode various kinds of numerical and narrative data.

I submerged myself among old books and found this character called Huascar. He is a character whose role history books never mention much. I came to look for a place and return it to its history. I embodied myself in it; I intermixed with his people; I learned their language; I learned their culture. Though Im part of their culture, I taught them the progress of my time in the future. I helped them to organize the tribe. I taught them to make weapons and to be benevolent, to take care of one another. He fell in love with a woman who mistook him as her old love for his enormous physical resemblance, a love that she called Huascar. Knowing the events of the future, Huascar assembled an army to deal with a group of tyrants commanded by a ruthless man named Francisco Pizarro. He had arrived from the other side of the world. Huascar had a brother who wuld be in danger, and Huascar decided to save him. Not only that, he wnted to save the land that saw him be born and thus avoid the scourge of poverty plaguing their land in the future. But there was no time to deal with them yet. Th ey had not yet arrived at its territory. So he decided to give knowledge to the tribe that housed it. It was also thanks to the help of his two old friends who shared adventures with him. Sorry, I meant them three as his mascot called Nio would also share with their adventures. The daily life with his tribe does make him love his people. He felt happy being with them, so much so that he had no intentions of returning to his life in the future. Luck was not on their side. The brother, who was trying to defend from the invaders, upon learning that he was back, changed plans and tried to ask for help from the invaders. The man called Huascar did not have much time and hurried to travel through lands dominated by his older brother, Atahualpa. Not only that, he also went through the lands overrun by invaders of many sites in Europe. Huascar didnt have much time, and he hurried to save his brother. He wanted to save the life of Atahualpa. He wanted to save the life of the last of the Inca.

Did the Inca have superhuman powers? Stories that Jesus Ruiz heard about his ancestors were just that, until he made a discovery that changed everything. His studies while attending the University of Arizona led him to ancient documents. We learn about shaman, ancient messages in weavings, quipu and our DNA. We learn how to talk to the gods. A beautiful library student working on her PhD covertly helps Jesus and later their paths merge while searching for records created by scribes during the Inca conquest. Their study leads to the Archives of the Indies in Spain, the Vatican, gods of human creation, ancient aliens, and beyond. The god Sach’amama leads them to hidden artifacts and Jesus embarks on an exciting quest for clues that transport him back to the beginning where he uncovers ancient hidden truths about the Incas and their supernatural powers. He and his new friends set out on an eye-opening journey through history, fantasy and time using the powerful secret keys of his homeland to defeat an evil threat. Long ago the gods gave people superhuman powers. When it is time, they will give those who earn it, the knowledge and understanding that will allow them to survive it’s use.
