The Inca Empire, at its zenith, spanned much of South America, including present-day Peru, Ecuador, Bolivia, and parts of Chile and Argentina. Known for its advanced architecture, agricultural systems, and administrative organization, the Inca civilization also possessed a deeply spiritual culture. Central to their worldview was a rich tapestry of mythology that explained the creation of the world, the origins of humankind, and the roles of the gods in the natural and spiritual realms. These sacred legends were not just stories; they were the very foundation upon which the Inca society was built, shaping everything from daily rituals to the governance of the empire. Inca mythology was intricately connected to the natural world, with gods and deities representing various elements of the environment, such as the sun, the moon, the earth, and water. The Inca people believed that these deities were not distant, abstract beings but rather active forces that influenced their lives. The most important gods were thought to have a direct relationship with the ruler, often considered to be divine or descended from these gods. As such, the Inca king, or Sapa Inca, was revered as the son of the sun god, Inti, and his authority was considered sacred. The role of mythology extended beyond the divine and into the social and political spheres. It was through myth that the Inca legitimized their rule, connected their empire to the divine order, and reinforced the unity of their vast territories. Legends of the first rulers, such as Manco Capac and Mama Ocllo, were tied to creation myths that depicted them as divine figures sent to bring civilization to the world. These stories were used to justify Inca conquests and to explain the hierarchical structure of society.Mostra libro
