Ep. 7: Origin Myths Part 1

Manco Capac, founder of the Inca dynasty. (Felipe Huaman Poma de Ayala)

The Inca emerge from their caves and embark on a quest led by Ayar Manco to find fertile land.  Sent by the Creator god himself, Viracocha, the Inca found the city of Cuzco.  Here the Inca must carve out a piece of territory for themselves as we have seen other civilizations before them accomplish.  Leaders will rise and fall.  Plots will be made and others foiled.  Alliances will be formed and enemies defeated.  The Children of the Sun have come; and the Andes will never be the same.
