The Origin of the Empire

The history of the Andean people has always been linked to Lake Titicaca. According to the old priests, a very long time ago,  when gods still walked the earth, the Sun God felt sorry for the human race because they were living like beasts. So, he sent one of his sons called Manco Capac as well as a daughter called Mama Ocllo from heaven who came out of Lake Titicaca to establish the Inka Empire.
